(or other "inadequate caliber choice)
I know there is plenty of debate hashed out in several other threads. That isn't what I am looking for here. I would like to see what you have taken, and with what in an "inadequate" caliber.
I have taken two 100-125lb does with a 16" 1/9 twist barreled...
I have a line on a .50 cal Hawken that wasn't cleaned and has been sitting up for years. The rust in the barrel has just about eaten all the rifling away. I was thinking it may be fun to bore it out to a small caliber shotgun and take it small game hunting.
Anyone done this? Experience...
I picked up a .38 S&W today, just trying to get some info on it.
5 shot
Barrel Marked: .38 S&W CTG
Butt Marked: 1208##
Under Barrel on frame marked: MOD 361 or 351?..BUT the 6/5 is stamped over by a 2?
On swingarm that supports cylender it is marked 494##
Forgive me for my incorrect terms...
I scored a nice 686 that is perfect with the exception of the rear sight assembly having a little corrosion. I would like to replace the entire thing, where can I find one?
A friend and I took out the AR's this afternoon and spent a couple a hundred rounds each downrange. We were emptying our last mag when his jammed. He tried to clear the jam but the bolt stuck just short of closed and we cannot get it to budge. We split the halves and we can't remove the bolt...
I'd debating having a 20" barrel cut down to 16", thus giving me a shorter lighter gun, but keeping the longer line of sight and not spending money on a lot of extra stuff. The market just isn't there to sell a 20" barrel.
Is there any reason NOT to do this?
Will the shorter barrel...
I'm looking for a set of sights to use for target shooting. The standard A2 sights are fast to aquire and accurate for man sized targets but I'd like to dial it in a little more.
Has anyone used the crosshair style front posts made by KNS...
I picked one of these up at a pawn shop today for what I hope is a good deal.
What is the going rate for one of these? This one has 90% metal and a replacement wood stock. Inside is clean and ready to go.
Pics and a price to come
I picked up 3 boxes of some ammo today to test out and I can't ID it. (Maybe I am just not on the up and up with import stuff.) A google search did me no good.
The box is plain brown cardboard. The only markings on it are just like this:
I.M.G

I just wanted to say thanks for all the info posted here. Thanks to all the reading I have done the last week or so, I decided to put my pistol in the safe and pick up a shotgun for home defense.
I went shopping and decided I'd rather spend $300+ on a different gun than something that...
Long time lurker, first time posting.
I picked this thing up at an estate auction for $20 along with a few other pieces. I can find little to no info, other than the the interweb told me Sears sold a few Gibraltar 12 Gauges around 1905 (doesn't mention the 16ga). I know It isn't worth...
