Model 11s were made from 1905 up until 1947. John Browning came up with the design sold it to FN who made it the Auto 5 then licensed it to Remington as the 11 then Savage as the model 720. Apparently the Browning Auto 5 was made up until 1998 but is a completely different design now. They...

Ok, so Ruger likes to play "What's the new gun gonna be". This time they showed a production line in their factory in Mayodan NC as a hint on facebook. I happen to know that they only make one firearm in Mayodan so I have a good guess that it is a variation of that rifle. Here is the...

Nevermind, I got it covered.

So, what would you pay for a Browning semi auto designed 30 cal? No, not a BAR but that other Browning semi auto? What would you pay for an iconic walnut and steel rifle that was not only popular big game rifle but arguably the first semi auto police patrol rifle and was used to bring down...

Been going through some of my dad's stuff (still alive @ 87) and I asked him about one of the many shotguns he has. First one is a Stevens SXS. It was in pieces so I took it home and am trying to get it back together. Dad said he bought it at a farm sale 40+ years ago very cheap because someone...

Was going through my stuff and came across a couple of double barrel 20 ga shotgun that are sadly seldom used. First is a SXS called a Wards Hercules. These guns were low end guns made by Stevens for Montgomery Wards. I believe it is the store brand equivalent of the Stevens Mod 50. It...

I used to have a Keltec P11 which I sold to a friend in need a few years ago. Pretty much been carrying a full sized .40 or 9mm ever since though recently I've been lazy and have been packing a 5 shot .38 snubby. Kind of wanted to carry something with more capacity and more powerful than a...

Buddy of mine showed me his cut down Marlin model 60 which is cool in itself. Then he showed me how he turned the magazine tube to the side so you could slide cartridges down the barrel into the loading port. The original loading port is on the bottom of the tube which means you have to load...

238 years ago ... April 19th 1775, Paul Revere made his famous ride and our forefathers faced off against their government's army to try and restore they rights that have been taken away. Capt. John Parker and 80 men of the Lexington Militia stood up against 200 light infantry on Lexington...

...send messages to all the gun, ammo, magazine and NSSF (National Sports Shooting Foundation) members (the guys who put on the SHOT show. Tell them not to sell their products to government entities in states that violate people's civil rights. If enough of them get together and do that, it...

I thought this forum may be interested in a little history Note, I wrote the following as a brief lesson in what happened 238 years ago to create this country. It has probably been a long time since you heard it. Some may have not heard this version or some of the facts here in. It has been on...

Just picked one without a stock at a garage sale really really cheap. Now what to do with it? I noticed there are survival stocks and tactical stocks available for it. I've been told that it is the same receiver as used on the NEF/H&R Handy Rifle and that other barrels and stocks will fit.

I've had a Ruger Mini 30 since they came out in the 1980s. I mounted a 1-4x variable on it and have killed quite a few deer with it over the years even though it is not near as good as a 30-30. Ballistics are claimed to be the same, but having killed many, many deer with a 30-30, the 7.69x39...

So I went to my first Appleseed this weekend. It actually qualified as Winterseed since the temp was 6 degrees Saturday and 8 on Sunday, though it warmed up into the 20s later in the day. This shoot was for rimfires only since it was on a outdoor pistol range. I tried to take note of the rifles...
