I am considering buying a Colt .22, I am not sure of the model or designation, but it is about 30 years old and it has Stag handle grips with the golden Colt medallion in them. Do these particular grips enhance the value of the piece to any great extent ? Another .22 Colt of the same...

Since Tamara suggested, and rightly so, that the conversation be veered back toward the topic on the "Pink Pistols" post, and further, feeling that there was more to be discussed on the issue, I read the specs under L & P and saw that the topic should be more logically and hopefully...

I have a friend who has a 95 Carbine and is trying to determine the caliber. I have one reference work that states that the 95 Carbine was in .30-30, .30-40, .303 Brit and .30-06. His carbine doesn't seem to be any of the above. On close examination of the piece, I noted that the...

I have read a few articles that the #1 has some serious long-range accuracy problems. I am considering a single-shot '06, and was thinking of a #1, but if it can't do the job out to 3 or 4 hundred yards, then it would be a poor choice. Any comments ?

We throw out table scraps, often supplemented with whatever is the current bargain brand of dog food and enjoy watching the show from our den at night with the lights out. Last year we "raised" a family of red foxes (4 kits), and this year, one of last year's reds is coming back and running...

The connection to drugs and guns is tacit. The government should make available FREE all the drugs the addicts want, of every kind and description, and in whatever quantity, however they would have to be consumed at the "clinic" site. Vital stats on the user would be collected. I would...

I do not support as a general rule "vigilante justice", but when the same small percentage of BG's rotate through the revolving doors of the system and continue to cause a disporportionate amount of mayhem and travail in the general population, the concept looks better and better. What is the...

Years ago when money was a bit tighter than it is now, I balked at the price of a bullet puller, and decided to make my own. I machined out a .357 sized chamber (all I was shooting at the time were .38's and .357's) in a piece of Sch. 120 tube 2" long, and formed a piece of 1/8" X 1" flat in...

Does S&W make the 36 with a longer tube ? Does anyone make a 5 shot with with a longer than "snubbie" barrel ?

I have a like new model 19 .357 that is a tack driver with some mild loads that I use for target work to coddle my arthritic joints. I would like very much to use it for my CCW rather than the snubbie 36, but the 36 does work well in an In-The-Pants holster. Does anyone know if there is a...

A while back on the Natchez Trace Parkway, just inside Tennessee, I creamed a large turkey. Nervous from the incident and talking it over with my wife, my attention was drawn to the mirrors by blue lights. I assume the officer was employed by the Department of Interior. I don't know...

Since "coordinating activism" falls within the purview of this forum, perhaps the Administrators could pass on whether or not this is a good idea: If it isn't, please remove the post. There is no doubt that various abbreviated agencies of the Government regularly scan this and other forums...

On some 9mm pick up's, I have had the sides of the case rim rip off on resizing/decapping. Not fun. I use a Lee carbide 9mm die. I notice the #19 shellholder is the same one used for 40's, and the 40 fits nice and snug, whereas the 9 is significantly more loose. Is there a shellholder I can...

While realizing there are countless thousands of sincere hunters who make no bones about going for a trophy, I believe it is demeaning to the human condition and is not ennobling of the hunter in general to kill something in order to brag about doing it. I hunt. I am a meat hunter. If I don't...

All of us know, (or should) that if your out-go is more than your in-come you are on the down-fall. We have also learned that if we scrimp and save there will come a time when our savings will provide adequate income to meet our needs. How would it be for a Municipality or possibly a State...

Seriously and diligently searching for an extractor for a .25 Auto Mauser 1910 "Side Latch" The extractor is appx one and three eighths inches long. Have tried all the normal sources - Marstar, Bob's, Numrich, even the Mauser guy in Austria. Put me on the right track and I'll buy your lunch...

I served in the Army from '49 thru '52 and received an Honorable Discharge. I served in Europe rather than Korea, but as you all know, you go where you are sent and keep your mouth shut. Had they wanted me in Korea, I would have been there. I think all the various groups and mini-groups...

We have a large bay window about 15 feet above the ground in the den at the back of the house, and I have put an old 14" skillet out to put table scraps in for the critters. It is fun for me and my wife to watch their interactions from the den with the lights out. If the scraps run short, the...

I sat in on a self-defence class for women a while back and it was very interesting. There were about as many men there as women. Probably husbands. One of the things the instructor showed was how a can of hair spray sprayed through the flame of a Bic Lighter makes an awesome weapon...
