Just thought I'd post a pic of mine before I parted with it. I'm afraid that I've kind of burnt out on shooting for a while. It sports a VQ CF Barrel and a host of other goodies and shoots fantastic. Do you have any pics of your 10/22?--Oneshot:D

Well, I finally gave in and bought a CZ 40B that I've been fondling for about a week now. While I was purchasing it an older gentleman approached me and started telling me about the CZ's that he owns, then the salesguy starts talking about how great they are for the money, then low and behold...

I have recently come across a Helwan in 9mm that I can pick up for $169. That price is about the cheapest that i've seen on a 9mm here in California, so I put a very small deposit on it and have few days to make up my mind. Has anybody had one of these? Are they dogs? I ran a mag full of...

Well it's confirmed, I've got too much time on my hands... I was totally bored with my 10/22 and totally broke from mounting a scope on my M1A so I built this out of stuff that I had lying around. I took an old Ramline folding stock and pinned it permanantly open with a steel pin. I then...

Myself and two of my friends each recently bought brand new Springfield M1A's. Two were in Camo, the one I bought was in all black. In our glorious state of California with taxes, they ran roughly $1300 each. Two of us took them out to the range together and fired about 200 rounds each. All...

I really wasn't sure how to phrase the question so I hope it makes sense. What would be the best way to get into duck hunting? I've hunted other things (Deer, Pigs) but have never done any waterfoul hunting at all. In fact I've never even so much as fired a shotgun with anything other then slugs...

I just bought my 8 year old son a new Henry Mini Bolt 22 for Xmas. After looking it over, I felt it was my duty to test fire it for safety purposes (Yeah Right). I took it with me to the range today, and shot about 5 rounds through it (Didn't want it to look used) Boy I gotta tell Ya, What a...

Did anyone else catch a show called "insomniacs" on Comedy Central ( guy stays up all night and checks out the night life) That featured a segment on a County employee in New Orleans, whos job it was to ride around in the back of a truck, sitting in a lawn chair , and shooting large rats that...

Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly makes a carbine , a carbine? I have heard the term used over and over but how does it differ from just an ordinary clip fed rifle. Please bear with me, I'm new to rifles in general. I did just buy a new Springfield M1a today though-Rob:D :D :D

I have an eight year old son. Today I bought him a Henry, Mini Bolt 22 that I intend to give him for Xmas (if I can wait) I intend at that time to start teaching him how to shoot. My wife has expressed, rather loudly that he is not old enough to be shooting a "real" gun and should instead stick...

Holy exploding prarie dogs Batman! Animal lovers need not apply. Graphic exploding prarie dog footage anclosed. Can anybody ID the rifles that they're using? They show them during the intro footage. Don't follow the link if you don't get a kick out of flying P dogs. Filmed in Montana, I...

I just bought my wife a new Bersa Thunder .380 for her birthday. Although it was for her, I felt that it was only proper that I test fire it and properly break it in for her (Yeah Right, I just wanted to shoot it) At the range, I ran 150 rounds of Magtech 95 gr, FMC through the gun. It...

Does anybody here have any idea how old this Ruger 22 is? I was told that it was called an "Original Issue" but am not sure of that. I bought it from an 88 year old man who didn't remember when he had purchased it. It is not marked as a MK1 but instead marked "Ruger,22 cal long rifle...

Hi guys. The wife and me are considering a move to the Salt Lake city area. I am curious as to how the gun laws are there in Utah and also the general economic climate right now. I will probably transfer within my company but she will be looking for a job in childcare. In general is it a nice...

After a promise to take her to lunch afterwords, My wife went shooting with me again today. I am getting a bit worried though....She's turning out to be a better shot then I am with some of my guns. At first she was quite timid and willing to only shoot "Her" little Ruger 22/45, but now I...

Here Ya go. Feel free to post pics of yours. The 44 is a 29-2 , P&R (Bottom). The .357 is a super nice 27-3 (Top) I love both of these guns!! Gotta keep my wife from staeling them:p

I don't know if anybody is interested but I am trying to get a few of the Cal Gun crowd and maybe a couple of you guys together for a shoot at The Shooting Gallery in Vacaville Next weekend. I figure that after shooting for a while we can maybe go grab some lunch. The range is a very nice...

I finally got to shoot my new (to me) 29-2 , 44mag today! I had never shot a 44 before today and was expecting a really bad recoil from some of what I have read here and other places. I was pleasantly suprised by how shootable the gun was. It's a 6" barreled model and is quite heavy which...

I've read a lot about older S&W's having a "pinned barrel" is there any real advantage to this, or is it simply just more desireable to own then a newer crush fit barrel revolver? Just curious--Oneshot

Well, I just got back from the range and finally got to shoot both my older Smiths back to back with my newer one. The older ones (relativly) were a 3" barreled , 36-1, and a model 27-3, .357, with a 6" barrel that was close to new in condition. While niether one of these are considered a true...
