    Military Heritage- Firearms or finger eliminators?

    https://www.militaryheritage.com/index.html This site popped up in another thread, and they have products which are relevant to my interests. My concern is that these are the Indian gas-pipe KABLOOEY guns of years past. Does anyone here own and safely use any of these arms?

    Benjamin Black Lightning is puzzling me.

    I was shooting this piece for the first time in maybe two months. The trigger stopped releasing the sear. I took the action out of the stock and found that the plastic linkage between the trigger housing and the lever had broken. The rifle seems cocked, but the trigger will not reset or fire...

    Need a scope recommendation.

    I just bought a Benjamin Black Lightning that came with a horrible 4X scope. After less than a hundred shots, the scope (CenterPoint, I think) has lost it's zero, drifts farther right with every shot, and will not adjust left. The clarity is sub-par as well. The rifle was making tidy little...

    Not sure what t make of this.

    Colt 1917, converted to .357: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/725269545 It gives me the chills, and not the right sort of chills.

    Condor at Sportsman's Warehouse

    First jump out of the chute, I AN NOT AFFILIATED WITH EITHER SPORTSMAN'S WAREHOUSE OR CONDOR KNIFE AND TOOL. That said.... I was wasting some of my lunch hour strolling through SW today and discovered an end-cap display of Condor knives. I saw Bushlore, Bushlore Jr, a kukri and several...

    .20 caliber rifles; what happened?

    I'm on the cusp of adding a decent air rifle to the collection, something capable of killing food. For that role, I'm sure I'd prefer a .22 to a .177. I've always been drawn to the idea of a .20, though; .22-weight pellets with better sectional density, hopefully giving better penetration. I...

    Opinel

    For no good reason whatever, I find myself looking at Opinels lately, with an eye to acquire one or more (I know me, it'll be more.) My question for the day- I am leaning toward a No 7 or 8 in carbon steel, but the stainless they use is Sandvik 12C27. I don't hear a lot of complaints about that...

    Poly-Choke II and Truglo Titan

    I had a Mossberg 20 ga with a Poly-Choke when I was a younger man, and in a moment of weakness, sold it to friend. I'm getting back into Sporting Clays and 5-Stand, and find interchangeable tubes are getting to be tedious. I'm looking at either the Poly-Choke II or the Truglo Titan. Both can be...

    Inlines- CVA vs. Traditions

    It's funny, but as much black powder as as I've burned, I've burned almost none of it through inline rifles and just don't know much about them. My brother is looking for one in .50 caliber, and needs to know whether CVA or Traditions builds the better rifle. He doesn't care a lick about TCs...

    Canes, walking sticks, and training.

    On Christmas Eve, my Dad (age 73, and still doing his own stunts) suffered a fall and broke his left hip and shoulder. Neither will require surgery, but he will be in therapy for a (to quote his doc) looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnng time. The hospital hooked him up with one of those 4-footed walking...

    Holster for a Ruger Old Army

    Just bent this for my brother, who doesn't know he owns an ROA yet. Seriously overbuilt from 12-14 oz. saddle skirting, and saddle stitched by hand. Finished with Feibing's Oil Dye, Saddle Tan, the top coated with saddle soap. I also rubbed a layer of Sno-Seal on the flesh side before stitching...

    Rifled choke tubes

    How many here have used them? Were you satisfied with the accuracy? How many loads did you try? Did you have your best results with Brenneke, Foster, or sabot-style slugs? Bear in mind that where I live, slugs for deer are kind of a "You wanna use WHAT?" proposition, and I won't be...

    Billy The Kid and Bob Olinger

    If you've seen "Young Guns," (who hasn't?), part of the jailbreak scene includes Lincoln County deputy Bob Olinger menacing the captive Kid by telling him that if he tried to escape, Olinger would would happily unload both barrels of his shotgun into young Mr. Bonney. He further states that his...

    Rem 1100 mystery part

    I just bought a slug barrel for my 1100, and this little gem came with it. If I place it on the magazine ring the way it is obviously intended to be placed, it prevents the fore end from being re-mounted on the gun. The barrel is a 20" slug barrel with a 3" chamber. Is this part necessary? Is it...

    MkII aftermarket takedown kit

    Has anyone tried one of these? My dad loves shooting his MkII, but hates having to clean it, and considers no gun to be clean until he has every little part out of the gun and on the armorer's mat. If the kit works well enough, I may buy a MkII for myself.

    M97 synthetic stock.....

    I was picking through some old gun magazines and found an article about a three-gun shoot in which the High Shotgun trophy was a Winchester 97 that had been all "tacticalized," including a shortened barrel, rifle sights, choke tube job and- be still, my beating heart- a synthetic stock. It might...

    How to identify makers

    I have a '58 Remington repro that I bought used. I'm well pleased with it, but would like to purchase a spare cylinder (or two or three) but don't know who the manufacturer is. What are the earmarks of the various makers? I suspect this one is a Pietta, but I just don't know. Thanks in advance...

    What is that 20-shot pinfire revolver.....

    ...in Oleg's latest poster? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1551040416236&set=a.1054327518724.2009312.1241890183&ref=nf My heartfelt thanks to whomever can help solve this mystery. I was thinking Le Faucheaux, but there are some significant differences between the two. Other parties...
