    Looks like the 360 Buckhammer Henry’s have released

    So far I only see them on GB Too bad they are all the X model. I told a bunch of people I was going to buy the first one that released but I am going back on that to say I will buy the first blue/walnut one released whether it is the lever action or the single shot.

    How a scope works

    A long but interesting primer on firearms optics. I know a fair amount about this already but still learned a bit.

    I Don’t Like Talking About Grail Guns

    Unless I find one of mine. It took 15 years to find it in the wild at a price that I liked. I could have found it on GB but the thrill of the hunt is also part of my grail process. The price was fair but on the rock bottom end of fair for this gun with no box. So I feel a bit like @Snake...

    Any load data for a 4 bore?

    Well, I’m looking at purchasing a 4 bore blunderbuss and was wondering what folks shoot through them. Im thinking around 2oz of shot and probably some 1F powder. It is a flinter also. The would use it for deer and turkey…and novelty of course.

    Go gauge goes fine. Factory ammo barely chambers.

    Rebarreled a Savage with one of those ER Shaw barrel kits. The kit came with the go and no-go gauges. I set the barrel up to go on the go gauge and not go on the no-go gauge. I dont feel anything when pushing the bolt down on the go gauge. When I try to chamber some factory ammo the bolt...

    A Little Retro AR Build

    I have been looking for a 16 pencil barrel with FSB for a number of years now. Brownells is always sold out and everyone else has no stock or over $500 for one. So for better or worse I was recently looking for a Colt Government carbine or a 6520 or a barrel for either. I saw some police trade...

    Very Long: Palmetto Arms Ridge Runner 54 Cal Inline Muzzleloader

    This is a report on a particular ML. It was purchased New Old Stock but had not been imported or on the market for quite some time. These are my thoughts, solutions, and learning experiences relating to this particular rifle and a little bit of inline muzzle loading in general. Basically it...

    An interesting find: One of these things is not like the others

    So at my local Bass Pro, they finally got some inventory on some pre-owned firearms. There was a rack out with a bunch of Tristar and similar price point shotguns with a Citadel thrown in. But there was something else there too. A polar opposite to the economy line shotguns. What was it...

    Shotgun Inserts

    So I acquired this Rossi single shot 12 ga turkey shotgun with rifle sights and a threaded for chokes. I see, here and there, about folks using rifled inserts in these guns for cartridges like 44 Mag and 45-70, among others. I am interested in both 44 Mag and 45-70 hunting and am also...

    EDC Expectations

    Another thread about the price point of EDC knives made me ponder a few questions. What are the expectations you have of an EDC knife? What do you typically use your EDC for? What price point do you typically look for to achieve these goals? I use my current and for the last 7 years EDC...

    Knives for processing game

    What knives are you using for processing your game and what would you recommend? I have been using a Rapala fillet knife mostly and get the feeling there is a better mouse trap. I have used this method for 25 years and have gone through several Rapalas. I bend the blades a lot and that is...

    Redemption: Ruger American Ranch 450 BM

    Bought this rifle new and it shot buckshot patterns at 50 yds. Sent it back to Ruger for a new barrel and it’s been sitting in my shop for months now. Finally went out yesterday to try it out. I used Winchester 260 gr Power Points that I had found a few months ago and it shot pretty well all...

    Found an interesting AR finally

    Nothing too special except these types of ARs seem to be more and more uncommon these days. These things were all over the place in the 90s and 00s but after the AWB expired, the floodgates were opened as far as AR variability is concerned. So I found this advertised as a complete upper only...

    Gunbroker App

    I still use the GB app to browse even though I believe it got axed from the apple store years ago. Either way now, when I input my password it says the app is temporarily unavailable. This started yesterday for me. Anyone else have this problem.

    First Suppressor and a few questions

    I want a suppressor for my 450 Bushmasters. A little research has netted 2 options that seem reasonable. SilencerCo Hybrid 46 Bowers VERS 458 or 50 I dont really care about the caliber versatility of the 46 so much as its functionality as a 45 caliber suppressor. A 50 Beowulf may be in my...

    Silencer for the bench

    It seems like I remember watching a Remington video a few years back (the video was from the 60s I think) and it showed a Remington engineer shooting through a bunch of old tires hung up to silence his shots. I also seem to remember a picture in here, possibly @jmorris, using a barrel with a...

    Can this possibly work?

    I am used to big stuff. So much so I generally never consider the small stuff. I acknowledge the small stuff kills game but I have always pondered if it killed it fast enough so the animal doesn’t make it to the property line. Well, I have made this bed....so I also have to sleep in it. Anyone...

    Excessive Throat Size: Ruger American Ranch .450 Bushmaster

    I bought this rifle brand new last September in anticipation of the upcoming deer season in southern MI. I bought a few boxes each of Federal Power Shok 300 gr and Winchester Deer Season 250 gr. Well, it shot patterns with both. I mean really bad. 4-5" groups @ 50 yds. 6-8" @ 100. These...

    Woods Walk on the New Hunting Property

    Well, we finally closed on a 30 acre parcel that will serve as my primary stomping grounds for deer and turkey and the occasional hog as there does not seem to be that many in this part of GA. I scouted the property lines that were just marked by the surveyor and found a few nice areas I...
