    UN Gun Ban Treaty is Back

    Apparently moments after being re-elected, renewed efforts to attack our 2A rights have kicked into high gear. http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/11/08/hours-after-election/?utm_source=Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2012-11-08_177404&utm_content=5321306&utm_term=_177404_177412 CALL...

    A little sore today

    I picked up a Browning Model 1886 rifle in 45-70 a while back but finally got a chance to take her to the range yesterday. Such a beautiful rifle. The thing kicks like a mule! I was using the 325 gr Leverevolution ammo. I also had a box of Black Hills 405 gr rounds too but didn't get around to...

    Cheap 45-70 Gov't ?

    Does anybody make relatively inexpensive 45-70 Gov't ammo? Say, under $28 per 20? I know, I should reload. I'm not set up for that YET.

    Colt Metropolitan MkIII

    I recently saw a revolver I was unfamiliar with in my LGS display case. It looked like an early Trooper or Lawman. The Salesman said it was a MkIII. Thinking it was possibly an early Trooper and having a nice MkIII Trooper which looks very different at home I said "I don't think so". Upon closer...

    Value of a 1-off guns

    A friend of mine is liquidating his late father's collection. I picked out a few pieces but the guy is researching some prices. He'll get back to me when he's ready. He seems willing to set reasonable prices and I certainly am not looking to low-ball him. A couple of the pieces that caught my...

    .45 Colt vs .44 Mag

    Thinking of picking up a Ruger Blackhawk or Super Blackhawk for pig/boar hunting. What are the pros and cons of either 45 Colt or .44 Mag? I doubt the pig will know the difference but I might. Also, should I look for an old model or new model Blackhawk and why?

    Desirability Question

    I have a friend who is selling off his late fathers guns. Word is that his father's guns were all very good condition and well cared for as he was a collector and gunsmith for a very long time( I guess that doesn't guarantee anything). I feel comfortable assessing the handguns myself but I'm not...

I did a break in of the barrel with 5-5 shot groups with a cleaning between groups. Ammo currently used is Prvi Partisan 168 gr HP BT Match and Federal Sierra Match King 168 gr...

    Ah, the good ol' days.

    I'm a bit of a nostalgic guy. I always get a kick out of a peek back in time when times seemed better. Like thumbing through a turn of the century Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog and seeing a 5" S&W M&P for $13. I came across this ad for an Enfield revolver and got a chuckle. Anybody have nostalgic...

    Pretty as a picture

    A conversation I had recently with one of the talented photographers that contribute here got me thinking. Many of you post some very nicely made photographs of your babies. Some others, like myself, aspire to make similar quality pictures of our objects d'art. How about some of you who are...

    Barrel Break in Question

    Ok, I recently bought a spanky new SA M1A Loaded. I haven't fired it yet. I'm waiting to finish reading all the materials and articles I have about it before taking her to the range. but I noticed a product called the "DYNA-BORE COAT KIT". It claims to bond to the bore and results in...

    Blue Wonder

    Curious if anybody here has any experience with the Gun Blue and Gun Black finishing products from Blue Wonder? How easy is it to use? How durable is it? Can the final finish be polished to a glossy shine without harming the finish? If you have finished a gun with these products, can you post...

    Legal question- detaining suspect - NY

    I live in NY. If some creepy crawler breaks into your house or if you catch them on your property, can you detain them or restrain them with mechanical devices(cuffs, rope, extension cord, etc.)? I'm pretty sure you can hold them at gunpoint but maybe you have them at gunpoint and your phone is...

    What can be done?

    This is seriously messed up. We have our little "tea parties", we email and call and write our representatives, we vote. Our representatives will not do what we ask/tell them to do. I know I'm doing my part but I'm just one person and I have no idea how many other people are making an effort ...
