    My son made a gun comment in school...

    Bravo Zulu, brother! Well planned and executed... you must be a Tomahawk guy or a WSO. :D

    classic 1911 100 year tribute! (post ur 1911 sweethearts here!)

    @Kingofthehill, Great pictures! How's you do the backdrop for #5? You must have a nice lightbox setup. :)

    M-4 / M-16 iron sights question.

    Take the distance from the front post to the target, and divide it by the sight radius (distance between front and rear sight.) Lateral movement of the rear sight will affect the POI by that ratio. So if your sight radius is 14.5" and the distance is 25yds (900") then your ratio is a hair over...

    .30 carbine on a progressive?

    Finding enough brass, got any leads? :D I'd do as the others say; resize and check several, see what it looks like. Then spot check occasionally.

    h&r 9 shot pistol

    I'd say a functional 922 in halfway-decent shape would put it at $150; give us a little more info on where it stands, condition-wise.

    38 spl shot shells

    Hey jibjab, I went the same road a few years ago, but with a 357 case. I used an even 3.0 grains of Bullseye, double wad, and then filled the case near the top with #8 shot, finished with a single wad. It was a load similar to yours; I knew I was in safe load territory, so I didn't bother...

    I got the same email, but mine'll be here by 10:30 a.m. I won't be home until late, though. Like Christmas morning. :)

    Down side to 30-06 ?

    To quote rcmodel, they're two peas in the same pod, and especially for a recreational deer hunter. I'd weight the two equal and look for the rifle I liked better, in either caliber. You might be able to push heavier bullets in the -06, but you certainly don't need to for your purposes.

    Ever dropped a round of ammo and had it go off?

    As a kid, I used to take old 12g shells, dump the shot out, tape a marble to the primer and toss them in the air. If it hit concrete, it would pop. I've been more careful since. :)

    In Search of My First Rifle.

    Hey MattJS, welcome to The High Road! For $600, you could get a Marlin 336 30-30 lever action and a Marlin 60 semi-auto 22lr. I see the 336 used around $300 all the time, and the 60 around $140 used. You wouldn't need magazines for either, and could spend the extra coin on ammo. Having a...

    Putting Tech Sights on a 10/22. How Hard?

    HoosierQ, here ya go: Its wearing the EABCO Carbine tribute stock. That should give you a good idea of the end result. I'm happy.

    Putting Tech Sights on a 10/22. How Hard?

    Very straightforward installation, and a real step up from the factory sights. It'll feel a lot like an M1 Carbine, and you'll have a better sight radius.

    SHOT Day 2 - Kel Tec Shotgun

    It's a clever design. I can't think of a single use I'd have for it, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to play with one. Kel-Tec sure does a fine job of affordably catering to niche markets, no harm in that.
