    Antique police batons?

    I have an old Portland Police baton that I bought from a former co-worker who's family was in the antiques business. It's two feet long, grooved handle at one end. I have the leather belt and holster for it too. It lives in the bottom drawer of my dresser and, in the middle of the night...

    Mower Blades?

    If you've got a bit of blacksmithing capability, mower blades make great froes. Josh

    Colt Trooper 357 Magnum

    I've got the same gun, from a year later in 1968. If I had to get rid of all of them, that would be the last one to go. It is such a great shooter, and is just pure Americana. I'm the third owner of mine. Josh

    If you carry a snub iwb, which position and cant do you prefer and why?

    I carry a 2.25" Ruger SP101 without a hammer IWB right in the front. The clip of the holster is just to the right of my belt buckle.

    Mossberg ATR

    I have one in .30-06 and think it's a great rifle for the cost. I have successfully harvested a bull elk with it.

    Wildlife protection Out West- Handgun/Long gun

    I recently went snowshoeing for the first time in Eastern OR and carried a recently acquired Single Six with the .22Mag cylinder loaded in a chest holster. I wasn't expecting anything human or animal in the snow, but I felt like I had enough gun. Josh

    Ruger Single Six Convertible??

    I just bought one of these combos last week. On the front of both of the cylinders was etched the last three digits of the gun's serial number. So if the gun was serial number "XXXX376," both of the cylinders had "376" etched into the front of them. Look for those on both cylinders, I'd...

    Hunting after you've reported (Oregon)

    Zombiphobia gets it right on all counts. Calling Fish and Wildlife would answer the question, I'm sure. The issue for me is that tomorrow is Christmas and then Monday they'll all be off for the holiday. And that's two of the four days I'll be in hunting territory. I'm not willing to risk a...

    Hunting after you've reported (Oregon)

    Hi friends! I thought I was done with hunting opportunities for the year by the end of November and went ahead and reported online for the three big game tags I held (Coast Elk, Black Bear, and Cougar). I did not fill any of the three. Well I'm going into cougar country tomorrow and plan...

    Buckskin

    Fold it up skin side together, put it in a garbage bag in the freezer. It will be fine to begin your work on brain tanning it after your trip.

    This deer season has been somewhat vexing.

    I hunt elk on 200 acres of privately owned property, surrounded on all sides by public land. In 2009, with a herd of two dozen elk about 400 yards upwind of me, I was forced to blow my cover to confront a pair of trespassers who had come down from the adjacent public land. Elk ran off. I was...

    Carry Both a Handgun and Rifle? NOT for SD/Backup

    I keep a .22 pistol in my pack. It's for emergencies, for delivering a close-range mercy shot to a downed but alive animal, for shooting a quail if I'm coming down the mountain empty handed. Not for self-defense or for shooting big game.

    Check out her Racks :D

    Could you tell me a little about your fish drying technique? It looks like you've just filleted down to the tail on both sides, without cutting through, which makes it convenient for hanging. Are the gaps in between the chunks of meat where ribs were removed or just cut there to increase...

    Close Call

    I think the idea of wearing armor is a reasonable one. I don't know enough to know whether a vest would do any good against a rifle round at cross-counter range, but I don't imagine it would hurt. Talk with your boss about it. He could write the purchase off as a business expense, and it...

    Help me design some fun!

    Forgive my ignorance, but would a Bill Drill be competitive with a mix of autos and revolvers?

    My Throwback Hunting Season

    I've been thinking about a handgun-only elk challenge to myself, but don't yet own a handgun in a suitable caliber. So rifle will have to do for now. I can still challenge myself about distance, though.

    Help me design some fun!

    Greetings, all! I have a fun opportunity that I'd like some input on. I have a friend who is interested in creating an art piece based on the "Target" works of the American painter Jasper Johns. He is fabricating six 4' X 4' panels, skinned with 1/4" thick plywood, and painting them a la...

    GSG-5 mp5 copy

    Heckler and Koch, Inc. vs. German Sport Guns GmbH, American Tactical Imports, Inc. Civil Action No. 1 : 09-cv-00039-WTL-JMS (S.D. Indiana) I have one, also bought pre-that, and love it! Mine is as accurate at 50 yards with iron sights as a 10/22 also with irons. I like it a lot. It's really...

    Liontribe-TenBears Variant

    Do you sell the knives you make? I would be interested in a knife like this as a gift for a mentor.
