    Hogfather Quote

    While not specifically firearms related, the sword translates to gun quite nicely. I was recently re-reading Terry Pratchett's novel Hogfather. I then picked up the DVD of the movie , which is based on the novel. It's a fantasy series and the Hogfather is their analogue of Santa...

    Hi Power .22lr Conversion?

    I know that Ciener makes a .22lr conversion kit for the Browning Hi Power. I've also been told that whenever possible you should purchase Ciener kits through a third party just in case you need to return it, as his customer service is abysmal. Does anyone know where I can purchase the Hi...

    CZ 452 Range Report

    This past week I lucked into a smoking deal on a pair of used CZ 452's. One is a Lux in .22wmr and the other is a CZ 452 Standard in .22lr. I had never heard of the Standard before, but apparently it's a Lux with a beech stock instead of walnut. Except that CZ's site also says the Standard...

    My "new" Ruger 10/22 mod toy.

    I'm still a bit of a piker with my 10/22 mods, but this is my toy so far. Start with one standard blue Ruger 10/22 from yon local gonne shoppe. Add one Revival Industries "electric blue" explorer stock. Mix in a 18" Fluted Blue Match Barrel w/Fire Sights. Cheat on rebuilding the action and...

    10/22 Stock

    I'm looking for a particular Ruger 10/22 stock and I'm not having any luck. What I want is something in nice looking wood, that is basically the same form factor as the standard sporter stock, but for the .920" barrel. I can find swoopy scope stocks in nice wood. I can find synthetic...

    Fired from job for discussing guns. Terroristic threats?

    No, not me. Heck, the last conversation I had at work involving guns had to do with reloading and whether I was going to the gun show this weekend. There's a webcomic called Three Panel Soul by Matt Boyd and Ian McConville (you may or may not have read their more infamous comic from their...

    My new Hi Power

    A new toy followed me home. :uhoh: Back in 2004 I picked up a cheap FEG Hi Power clone. After a few teething problems she settled in to be a nice fun range toy. Not the prettiest thing ever made, but functional enough, and a lot more economical to shoot than my .45s. Then I ran...

    Great story, but I have a hard time believing that schools today would teach people to look around them for weapons. The police are looking for this guy. They really want to nail him bad. :evil...

    Mossberg 590A1 Bayonet Rail Adapter?

    I was looking at an adapter that puts a picatinny rail mount on a bayonet lug. It's always shown mounted on an AR-15, but I was wondering if anybody knew how well these work on the Mossberg 590A1, which uses the same bayonet lug.

    Stupid revolver questions (from me)

    On Sunday I went to the local range. I decided to limit myself to the pistol range as the rifle range was packed with deer hunters sighting in. I have an old Taurus 66 stainless, 6" barrel. I bought it used and it's from when this was a 6-shooter design instead of the current 7-shot model...
