    Seeking some opinions for moose-capable Alaskan big game rifle.

    I moved to Alaska from the lower 48 in the past year, and I have a moose hunt booked for 2017. I don't have anything in the gun safe that I feel confident taking on a fly-in moose hunt, and I'm looking for some input to inform how I proceed. I am 90% sure that I don't want a magnum cartridge...

    Vintage Bushnell Banner BDC

    I acquired a 4x40 Bushnell Banner from a relative. I have had it for a while, but just realized that it has a BDC elevation turret. It came with a '78-'79 manufactured rifle, but I have no way of knowing if the scope is of the same vintage. The BDC insert it came with is a "2E", and that...

    Anyone have problems sharpening an eskabar?

    Hi folks. I have had an eskabar for a while now and despite my best efforts I just can't get the thing sharp to my satisfaction. I have never had problems with getting any of my other knives of quality steels to be shaving sharp. I have tried a Lansky jig, Emory boards, Smith diamond hone...

    Marlin 336 cycling trouble

    I just got a 336 from a deceased relative's collection. The serial number dates it as manufactured in 1980. When you hold the rifle ejection port down, it cycles just as it should. When held ejection port up, the bolt will only move about an inch before it begins to sieze up. In the normal...

    AR-15 carry handle chop

    I chopped a carry handle last night, and thought some of you might like to see the results. In the absence of “the right tools for the job”, I pretty much just closed my eyes and went nuts with a drill press, angle grinder, reciprocating saw, and dremel tool. Not bad for a few hours’ work...

    Buckmark vs. 22/45 for big-handed lefties

    I have the .22 pistol itch, and I'm considering Browning Buckmarks and Ruger 22/45 MKIIIs. I have experience shooting Buckmarks, and I know I like them. I have heard disassembly is a pain, but that doesn't bother me. My only reservation about getting a Buckmark is that I have had problems...

    Help ID this rifle

    My father in law just got this semi-auto Remington rifle from his mother. It's chambered in .35 rem, and doesn't really have any other identifying marks. Sorry for the lousy pics, taken with my phone. Anybody know what it is?

    An idea for dry fire practice

    I discovered this while training with my AR-15, but it would be applicable to any semi rifle with a bolt-hold-open feature. You'll have to forgive me if this is common knowledge, but I've never heard of anybody doing this and thought some of you might like to hear about it. I just took the...

    Home made air gun

    Okay, it's more of a cannon than a gun. And it's not really a weapon, but I figured this would be the best place to post it, if any, on this forum. Today was the first day of real trials of my home made air cannon, and I have been tickled to death with it. 2.5 or 5 gallon capacity (via...

    Thinking of buying a Springfield XD?

    Somebody in their marketing department has finally decided to throw us a bone and give us the option to buy their product without all the craptastic "free extras". I just wish this wasn't "limited time only", and wish they had been doing it when I bought the two I already own. Link

    .45 ACP Nay-sayers. . .

    I have a young 8 point whitetail buck hanging in the back yard that is proof positive that .45 can be strong medicine for deer. The specifics are: Gun: 5" Springfield XD-45, Trijicon tritium sights, Springer Precision trigger kit. Bullet: 230 gr Speer Gold Dot, 1050 fps. Range: 35-40...

    Argentine Mauser, what do I have?

    I just came into possession of a Berlin-made M1909 Argentine Mauser. All serial numbers match on the receiver, bolt, stock, and cleaning rod. The rifle is in very good condition, bright metal on the action with some cosmoline still in it, a little bit of pitting on the forward barrel band...

    I'm finally done with it! (AR, with pics)

    I just wanted to share, because everybody loves pics. You can scroll past the story if you want. ;) I've been playing the AR game for about a year now, and my rifle is FINALLY built up how I want it to be. I probably could have started from parts and came out a lot cheaper, but doing this...

    Please educate me on AR buffers

    My AR currently has a 16" barrel, carbine length gas system, carbine receiver extention and carbine buffer. It's straight up carbine. I want to build a bull-barrelled, scoped upper and use it interchangably on my lower. I know my collapsible stock isn't ideal for a scoped gun, but I can...

    Where to find LMT Uppers?

    Does anybody know where I can get my hands on a LMT 16" Upper with their enhanced BCG? LMT doens't have a dealer in my state, and google hasn't turned up much for me. I don't mind being on a waiting list for a few months, but to order straight from the factory I would get it in May 2010. Not...

    Gunleather for XD45

    First, some background info: I recently purchased an XD45 Tactical to keep my XD45 Compact company. The Compact rides around all day in a Comp-Tac C-Tac holster (IWB kydex, if you aren't familiar). The holster is marked 40/45, but I know there are minor dimensional differences between...

    Got my first AR (pics)

    I'm a lefty, so I picked up a Stag 2L. I added the handguard rail and vertical grip, Norgon ambi-catch, Badger Ordnance tac latch, and EOTech 512. Tomorrow it will be wearing a Magpul MIAD grip too. I took it out last weekend and ran 199 rounds of Wolf through it with no problems (I threw one...

    Purchased & shot my first pistol

    Hey folks. Sunday was my 21st birthday, and I went out and celebrated by buying my first handgun. I got a Springfield XD, compact service model in .45ACP. After getting my gun and a bag of bulk reloads my friend and I headed out to a nearby range. Since I am new to pistol shooting, I set...

    Any cyclists? (CCW)

    Hi! I'm new to the forum, so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I plan on buying my first pistol next weekend (my 21st birthday present to myself), and I have a question about concealed carry that doesn't seem to have been beaten to death on the forum already. If I were only...
