Peeling off from another thread, let's talk about ways to transport a rifle (or carbine, PCC, etc...) and keep it near you without alerting or unnerving those around you. I subscribe to the "gray man" line of thinking when it comes to keeping a long gun near me. Hidden in plain sight is better...

I received my new TL-Racker today. I haven't gotten to shoot with it yet (hopefully tomorrow) but I really like it. It's a really well thought out solution to having a light on your shotgun. The grip feels similar to the Magpul AFG I had before, but the angle is more natural and the way it...

A few years ago I inherited my Grandad's old Remington 721. It was made in 1952, and shortly thereafter Grandad put a Lyman aperature sight on it. I know that current production aperature discs will fit it, but I'm missing the knob for the elevation adjustment, and the newer knobs don;t look...

I made this for another K40 owner. I really like how the mag pouch turned out. Now I'm going to have to make a setup like this for myself, too. He wanted: - chocolate leather with black kydex - fully finished edges - stitched construction (rather than rivets) - tuckable with j-hooks and...

I have an old side-by-side, 12 ga, ERA shotgun (made in Brazil) that I inherited from my Grandad. It was his bedside gun for as long as I can remember. Grandad sawed it off to 19" (plenty of room to be safely over the BATF's arbitrary limit). He did it himself with a hacksaw and never bothered...

The following posts were made over several days. I took it easy and had several interuptions, so this holster took me about 4-5 days to complete. I hope you enjoy the pics! Saturday, 9/11: Well, I got my latest order of Kydex and started on my next hybrid holster today. Since I wanted this...

I've been working with Kydex for some time, making some motorcycle accessories and other little things. A few nights ago, I decided I'd try my hand at making a hybrid holster ( a la Comptac, Kholster, etc...). There's really nothing to them, and by making your own you can add some little custom...

I have a Taurus 605 (5-shot .357, 2" barrel, bobbed hammer) that came with rubber boot grips. I want to replace the rubber grips with wood, but I can't decide between "boot grips" or the "oversize finger groove" style. The boot grips are smaller, hence easier to conceal, but only allow...

I've seen some really good looking Saiga .308 rifles that were modified to have the PSL/Dragunov look. I've been wanting a PSL for a while, but I'm starting to wonder if I should get a Saiga .308 and build a "Saiganov" instead. So what would be the pros and cons of each choice? I've read...

Which is the better bayonet and why? I've read that many troops who have been issued the M9 hate it and carry something else in it's place. I've also heard that there was a history of blade breakage with the M9. Is the OKC-3S any better, or just different? Should both the Army and the Marines...

I've read a few threads here about hog (feral pig) hunting. I've read several articles about the population explosion of wild pigs in the US, particularly in the South. I've watched "Pig Bomb" on the Discovery Channel as well as a few other shows on the topic. Here's what I've learned...

I'm planning on getting either a 2nd or 3rd Model Dragoon soon. I like the look of the square-backed trigger guard better, but I have read some opinions that the rounded guard is more comfortable to shoot, especially with full loads. Does anyone who has actual experience shooting both guns have...

I'm narrowing it down to which C&B revolver I'm going to get. I know it will be a Dragoon, probably a 2nd Model. I'd get a 3rd Model if there was any remote chance I could get a stock for it, but that looks unlikely. Besides, I like the look (purely aesthetic) of the square-backed trigger guard...

I'm not a total novice when it come to BP revolvers, but it's been over ten years since I've owned one. My last (and only) BP revolver was a second hand, brass framed .36 Navy that was in dubious shape when I bought it. It evenutially (literally) fell apart. Anyway, I've been thinking about...

Best way to value/sell a shotgun? I have a Remignton 1100 just sitting in my closet that I haven't shot in years. I was thinking about selling it, but I'm not sure what is the best way to go about it (to get a fair price). In all my years of buying guns, I've never sold one before. Obviously...

I just installed the Wolff 5 Lb. striker spring in my Kahr K40. The trigger always felt really nice... now it feels great! I've had this pistol since 1997 and I long ago lost count of how many rounds I've fired through it. I wish I would have done this years ago. Just to show off my pretty...
