This last Wednesday I took a group from work out to the trap range - a total of five of us participating. 3 of the others had shot before, although not for a long time. The 4th had never touched a gun in her life. I started out by giving her some 1-on-1 instruction in stance, proper hold...

I just purchased an H&R Topper Deluxe Classic (heavy, ribbed barrel, 3" chamber) in 20 ga. and shot it for the first time today. Not a bad gun overall, except that in 2 rounds of trap I had three occurrences in which the discharged shell casing would not eject, and required (very) gentle...

I first heard this on the St. Louis news tonight, and something smelled funny about it, so I searched for an article and found this: http://www.belleville.com/mld/belleville/news/state/16232023.htm Without knowing the details I can't say that these guys are great representatives of our...

A few years back I inherited a Winchester model 94 when my father-in-law passed away, and after a bit of research I learned that it was manufactured in 1956. At one time I tried to sell it, but found that I couldn't get what I wanted for it, so decided to keep it - besides, one day my son will...

I've been shopping around for something smaller to carry than my 4" GP-100, and at both of the shops I've visited I ended up finding a Kel-tec in my price range (read "relatively cheap"). Are these good pistols, cheaply made and maybe with low demand, or are Kel-tec's often problem guns for...

Last week I went into a local gunshop to ask about CCW holsters. While there I browsed through their rack and found an Arisaka type 99 with matching numbers, intact Chrysanthemum, monopod and aircraft wing sights. Over the weekend I thought about the rifle a little, and after reading about an...

Like some others here, I particularly like Luke 11:21, on its face, as scriptural justification for arming oneself for defense. After all, it's hard to argue when Jesus says: "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe." (NIV) However, in context, this...

"Respect my authority!"... or .... "Commit a crime or go to jail!"... or ... Make up your own title for this ridiculous situation

Right now as I plan to get my permit, I'm considering options for carrying my 4" GP100 (not an ideal carry gun, I know, but it's what I've got). When it comes to concealing it, it seems like a 4-position holster such as this one would provide options for carrying under an untucked shirt at SOB...

I'd hate to be on the receiving end! :what:

Over the 4th of July weekend my parents were here to see my kids (they readily declare that they don't come to see me any more) :) and while they were here my 6 y.o. son got an opportunity to show Grandpa how he could shoot his bb gun (Daisy Buck). Before he shot, I made him recite the 4...

Last night I was going through my safe, rearranging the guns if for no other reason than to handle some I hadn't shot for a while. During the shuffling I decided to put those that never get handled to the very back of the safe so I don't have to work around them. It occurred to me that most...

I've got 4 rifles on which I want to get the headspace checked before I fire them: 2 Mosins, 1 Enfield and 1 K98. I called one shop which is listed in the yellow pages as a Gunsmith and which I know deals in milsurp rifles. The conversation was short, and something like this: Him...

Funny. I never saw this on the mainstream network news, or in the Saint Louis paper. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Fighting Back Iraqi police are investigating an election incident at a small Iraqi village south of Baghdad. The villagers, a mix of Shia (search) and Sunni Muslim...

Is it legal to obscure the electro-penciled numbers from a rifle bolt and floor plate? I have a German Mauser on which the bolt and floor-plate have been re-numbered to match the receiver & stock. I'd like to mask the sloppy electro-penciled numbers to make the rifle look less defiled. If...

Thru December, SOG has had daily sales, much like AIM had, except SOG printed a calendar of the deals in their last catalog. On the 17th, they reduced their M-N M38's to $49.95, so I ordered one. When I called I asked and was told that they had some with the correct M38 stock (instead of the...

I know the owners are in the midst of some legal troubles, but their catalogs keep coming and their website is still up. Can anyone give feedback on whether it's risky to order from Interordnance right now, or any feedback on the general quality of the company (service, quality of product...

I'm curious about the manufacturers of Enfields and whether there are any quality (or other) differences between BSA, Fazakerley and Maltby. There doesn't seem to be any mention of difference on any Enfield sites I've found, but I'd like to know if anyone here has insight.

Please forgive me for silly questions. This year will be only my second deer-hunting, and hopefully my first for bagging a deer. To date, my only experience "after the kill" is helping a friend drag his 180-lb. buck out of the woods. As I consider the upcoming season, I have the following...

As a former Boy Scout I learned to respect and always handle the (American) flag carefully and appropriately. Perhaps this has made me over-sensitive to how the flag - or images of the flag - are used or misused. I'm trying not to be partisan here and I think that seeing anyone walking on an...
