      Browning A5 and goose hunting

      Due to some things I got going on I won’t be able to use any of my hunting guns this year. The farmer I work for felt bad for me and gave me one of his old 12 gauge A5s so I can participate in the up coming migratory goose season I’ve been really looking forward to. I did some research on it...

      Questions about mental health and firearms

      I know someone who is in a difficult situation and I have some questions about this touchy subject I would rather not ask on a public forum. I was wondering if I could chat with one of you who know the laws in Md or maybe be able to point me in the right direction of maybe a 2A friendly...

      Any Bowyers here?

      I’m slowly transitioning from a compound to a recurve in the deer woods. I really love the simplicity of traditional archery equipment. I currently shoot a Martin Howatt hunter but I’m drawing almost 31” so it stacks pretty bad. The cattle farm I work on has a whole bunch of Osage trees that I...

      Marble Game Getter

      I help my friend out at his in-laws cattle farm. I was rummaging through one of the out buildings and came across a few old firearms. His father in law knew they were there but can’t recall where they came from. Very well could have been in there for over 100 years. There are several single shot...

      4F black powder

      I have been priming my flintlock with 3F since I started shooting them because I have had a tough time finding 4F. I got the lock tuned pretty well and the 3F does ok but when I’m shooting or hunting I have to be very mindful of keeping the powder from not laying up against the flash hole...

      Sporterized K98

      I’ve had this rifle close to 20 years now. A older friend of mine had one that was crudely sporterized but he use pile deer up with it. It was a handy rifle with its open sights especially on deer drives. So being as impulsive as I am about buying guns, I wanted one for myself and ended up with...

      Topping off your mag

      I’m not sure there has been any threads on this recently but I figure with the influx of members on here that can or will be carrying iron, a fresh discussion can’t hurt. When I first got my WC a few years ago I was all about toting big firepower. I didn’t own any small compacts at the time...

      Blackhawk 44 mag

      Few months ago I acquired a Blackhawk from my neighbor and it’s pictured here under my 5.5” SBH. From what I read, it’s serial number puts it manufactured in 1957. When the county I deer hunt in started allowing the use of strait wall cartridges I was looking forward to trying handgun hunting...

      Do I want a Taurus ?

      So in my impulsive trading and reloading supplies scheming I have managed to stockpile a hefty amount of 357 and 38 components. So i got to thinking, instead of moving this stuff along for something I need more, why don’t I just pick myself up a 357 revolver right? I’ve always lusted over a...

      Competition 1022

      Anybody built a 1022 lately for competing in NRL22 or MARS. I’d like to get my feet wet in shooting competitively and I think some of the rimfire matches may be my best route. I’m guessing building or buying a bolt gun would be the right way to do it but since I already have a 1022 sitting...

      J.C Higgins 106.16

      Picked this up the other day from a lady who’s house I’ve been helping clean out. It’s Sears Roebuck branded but from my research it’s the same model made by savage I think. It was quite dirty and the feeding mechanism was put back together wrong but once I cleaning it up and figured how it goes...

      Rem 722

      So a friend of mine was downsizing his collection and offered this rifle to me in exchange for leveling some dirt at his house. It belonged to his father who was a armorer for the Army shooting team. It was rebarreled, glass bedded, and definitely has some trigger work. He also gave me the...

      1911 threaded barrel

      This may have been discussed before but I havnt been able to dig up much old threads about it I have a rugged obsidian 45 in jail that I mainly got to suppress a tc encore in 44 mag. I also have a Springfield trp that I was thinking about quieting down also since it is designed as a pistol...

      Ruger mk3

      Picked it up the other day to try my hand at bullseye. It’s had some trigger work done so I shouldn’t have to mess with that. I’d say it breaks around 2 pounds. I really wanted a mark 4 but I got this at a pretty good deal. I already had the red dot but my one handed shooting seems a little...

      Gen 5 G19

      Sold my Gen 3 23 because I’m trying to consolidate my handgun calibers to 45 and 9. Picked up the 19 a few weeks ago and wasn’t to impressed with how the supposed updated trigger felt. Almost felt squishy until the break. Maybe I just expect to much from a striker fired weapon. Anyway I did...

      36 gr varmint grenade

      I shoot these in my 221 fireball but I was thinking about loading some up in 223 for short to mid range coyote. Are these considered frangible bullets? I want to make sure they are ok to shoot through my suppressor. I’ve shot coyotes and foxes with them in the 221 with great results. I...

      Hodgdon trail boss

      I got 2 cans of it from a fellow who loaded and shot a lot of lead 45 colt loads. I’ve been experimenting with using it in reduced power and subsonic loads. I have to say I’m extremely impressed by this versatile powder. So far I have used it in a reduced power lead plinking load in my 444, a...

      Hornady CL SIL

      I’ve been working on coming up with a deer load for my 444 marlin. My rifle seems to like the lighter bullets. I have been loading 240 gr xtp over h335 and I just picked up some reloader 7 and h4198 the other day to try. The xtp are about the only 44 cal jacketed bullet I can find right now...

      Got my first PCP

      Picked up a Benjamin discovery 177 and pump for 100 bucks which I thought was a pretty good deal. My question to myself is why did I wait to long to get into a pcp? I know it’s a budget rifle in the pcp world but this thing is downright powerful and accurate. I still love my trusty RWS 34...

      Factory cast bullet hardness

      I have several hundred 45 cal 200 gr roundnose bullets. I’m wondering what type of alloy cast bullet companies might use in high production casting. I can’t remember who made the bullets but I’m pretty sure they are not swaged because you can see where the sprue was cut off. I’m just breaking...
