    My 835 is 'dropping' shells...

    I have a Mossberg 835 that is about 6 years old. It is my go-to gun. I use it for duck, pheasant, deer, geese, HD, sporting clays, black bear and skeet. It gets used- a lot. Last night on the skeet field, it chucked a shell out the bottom when I cycled the action on a double. Broke the low...

    Will NICS deny for a juvenile felony?

    I have a friend who I introduced to shooting a couple months ago. He's 26, but plead to a felony juvenile assault charge to avoid being tried in adult court. The whole thing was kind of kangaroo from the get-go, and he figured it best to keep it on the juvie record, and plead out. Anyway-...

    Link to story and video: http://www.kstp.com/article/stories/S17304.html?cat=1 Yowza- there's a real good reason to answer the door "heavy". (our family's term for armed) Not to mention an excellent reason to not to answer the door at all in the middle of the night!

    PayPal wants ME!

    I got a call from paypal today at my family's retail establishment. They want me to sign up as a vendor who accepts their form of payment. I listened to the whole schpiel about everything they could do for me, how little they would charge me, and how everything I could ever need would be...

    Goose Advice, Please. (long)

    I have been waterfowling for a few years now, but I have recently moved out to the current "edge" of town. (though "town" is catching up quickly) At the edge of our suburb, there is farmland- lots of farmland. There is a bit that is within city limits that isn't yet developed, but it's legal...

    New Scattergun in the family- Slug Selection?

    I took my wife to Gander Mountain yesterday, and somehow... :rolleyes: we ended up in the gun section. She's been shooting borrowed guns for when we go shoot clays and deer hunting, so I had been trying to find her a shottie. I have a Mossberg 835, and she's familiar with the manual-of-arms on...

    Squirrel Medicine- Air Rifle Recommendations?

    My dad has somewhat of a small, furry-thing problem. They are beginning to cause some trouble, and they need to be taken care of. Live traps are A) Too much work, B) Not enough fun and C) Not gun-related There's an old daisy pumper laying around the closet that my little brother (17)...

    Identifying good brass

    So far, my reloading endeavors have been pretty limited- .38/.357 and .45. I like my loads, and they shoot well enough for practice. I haven't made any ammo in almost a year, (moving twice, just got all the equipment out) so I started with some .38s. I'd say the bunch of brass I'm using is...

    Deep Cover on Short Notice

    I went to the MN State HS Hockey Tournament at the Xcel Center last night. For those of you who think :scrutiny: "High school hockey?"; just parallel it with hoops in indiana or football in texas- it's a BIG deal here. Anyway, we (wife and I, another couple and their 7mo old) arrived 2 tickets...

    My 1911 needs some love

    I have a Springer Mil-Spec that is (was) my every-day gun. Recently, it has developed a case of the chokes. I have been feeding it 230g Golden sabers, but a couple of range trips ago, it choked. I switched over to some new factory mags, and had no more trouble. Ok, it was a mag problem...

    Bus Hijacking

    Apparent Bus Hijacking Ends in Minnesota Local News I do my best to be self-sufficient in my transportation, so I don't see myself in this situation, but this has been playing in my mind since I heard about it on the radio. As a passenger, I am not in direct danger or fear of my life...

    Will I like the Ruger P345?

    Nobody around here seems to have any p345's for sale, so I haven't been able to fondle one as of yet, much less shoot one. I did, however, have the opportunity to take a SW99 for a twenty-round ride yesterday... I DID NOT like it at all. Is my lust for a P345pr misplaced? I've been an...

    Are you a "guardian of the polls?"

    Are there any laws prohibiting carry in voting places? I suppose there may be laws in some states about carrying in the places that host the elections, but is there a prohibition on carrying to a polling-place in general? In MN, school carry is a-o-k (for now), as is church carry, which...

    Brommeland Max-Con V

    I haven't seen much chatter here about this product, so I thought I might provide some free info. Through numerous recommendations at other sites, I found Gary Brommeland. I have been carrying my Gov't model daily for the last six months or so in a semi-custom IWB. I thought I had it...

    Courtesy to LEO while carrying

    I'll start with a story, then ask my question... Tonight, as my wife was driving a loaner car, (BOTH trucks in the shop) the brakes began to grind. It didn't happen gradually, but suddenly, causing the pedal to require more pressure to stop. Coming upon the intersection without the...

    Target Grey Ruger Finish

    I am looking at a target grey GP-100. I am wondering about the durability of this finish. It may become a carry gun, (may... who am I kidding?) so how will the holster treat this finish? Is it going to buff down to the plain stainless with holster wear? Or is it as durable as a normal SS...

    Primers, primers...

    I am fairly new to reloading, I'm working on a single stage and feel I have the process down, but I'm just getting into working up "my" loads. So far all I've done is 38/357, as I understand the to be easy calibers to learn on. I'm confident I've got the process down, but I still have much to...

    Interesting Carry Scenario

    I'm going on a snowmobiling trip to Montana. :neener: Since my MN permit is good there... I will be carrying. Given the attire that goes along with snomobiling is fairly thick, IWB access would be nigh unto impossible. I am under the assumption that the most likely attacker's weapon will be...

    AKJ Concealco IWB, or others?

    Howdy, all... be nice to the rookie, ok? Have any of you dealt with AKJ Concealco ? My wife and I are shopping for a holster for her 3" SP101. She requires deep concealment, (getting 'made' may cost her job) while at work, but also her greatest need for protection is while working. Her...
