I have not seen it in print, but have been told that AL will change it's season limit for spring gobblers from 5, to 4. Additionally, the use of decoys supposedly will be prohibited in the earlier part of the season, say the first 10 days. These changes are reportedly due to the...

I read where for the coming 1921-22 hunting season, rifles will NOT be legal for fall turkey hunting in the Keystone State. It seems that turkey numbers are down in PA, as they are in other states apparently as well. Officials in PA claim that a high percentage of fall turkey kills are...

What's the story on Millet scopes, are they still in production? If so, has anyone returned one for service/repair? I've spotted a used one (DMS 1-4x) that I might make an offer on, but of course it's a gamble. I'd feel better if I knew it could be serviced. I've got a 6-24x (?) Millet...

Bamaboy called today to advise that he broke a G17 slide catch in the midst of his agency (yes the "kid" is working ) FAQ's. Pistol would not retain a magazine, thus a poly single shot! I speculated that the longer, factory Glock 21 rd mags he is partial to have strained the latch...

As has been my custom in recent years, I'll give a brief account of my spring turkey season for this year. Gobbling activity has been scarce, the weather hasn't helped. Nevertheless, I've heard maybe 10 different gobblers on or near property I can hunt, private or public land...

I elected to re-sight my Henry .22 lever, equipping it with a peep rear. I choose a Williams peep that was to fit on the scope dovetail grooves. Once installed, the rifle shot 7 inches high at 25 yds:eek: A taller front sight was in order. But alas, the front sight and magazine/barrel band...

I took my old Model 14 out on a hunt the other day, and was reminded that the hard rubber butt plate has a small, but unsightly chip on the toe. The stock itself is good. I've located a vendor that sells steel butt plates, listing them as for early Model 141 AND 14's. I don't think I've...

No, not my granddad........but a Remington Model 14, cal. 30 Remington, mfg. in 1913, second year of production! I snicked 5 obsolete 170 grain Core-Lokt cartridges into the spiral magazine tube, cycled the pump, and watched the entire mag reciprocate and deliver a cartridge to the...

Leupold has announced a new, ultra compact dot sight, made specifically it seems to fit the dovetail on the Glock family of pistols. I've seen just one simple video. The sight looks interesting. I'm curious if it will hold up to Glock 20/10mm slide velocities. Can anybody provide any...

I installed a Williams peep sight (dovetail mount) on my Henry .22. No, it's not a Skinner, but at 1/3 the price, I was good with it. However...... Though I suspected the rifle would not shoot exactly to point of aim with the factory front sight I underestimated how very high the rifle...

While working up some .44mag loads, I discovered an issue with R-P cases in my brass assortment. After polishing, then sizing the cases, and setting the expander die up properly for minimal belling case of case mouths, I discovered that every R-P case would accept a .429" jacketed...

A pal whose comments I respect has told me tonight that Rem has mothballed the Loanoke ammo factory, and that the shotshell line and centerfire rifle Core-Lokt line is no more! I'd heard/read they were having money trouble (again) but seems as if they could sell all the ammo they wanted...

There's a thread running currently regards the .410 as a garden gun. This happened to me, just last night. We have two dogs, a big, healthy 90-100 lb black lab, and an older, 65 lb or so female golden retriever. I have a concrete pad poured, roughly 25x25', and on it sets two 12x12'...

I was watching a YouTube video the other night and a hunter had a big gobbler get away. He lined up on the bird and "click", failure to fire. Later it was stated and explained at some length that the Benelli's were infamous for getting knocked out of battery fairly easily, and failing to fire...

Anybody using the "Smooth bullet sizer" from Hanks Precision Gun Parts, Dry Ridge KY????

Browsing Gunbroker the other night, I was astounded to note that the Shockwave/Tac-14 and other pistol grip only shotgun prices have skyrocketed. We are in the midst of a gun/ammo buying spree driven by current events and all demand (and accordingly prices) have jumped........I get it. But...

I picked up a GLOCK catalog today, and was surprised to discover that Glock is still producing pistols in .45 GAP. I thought that number was dead and gone. Don't believe I've ever seen one on a firing line or match, and the ones I've seen for sale (used) are low priced and stay on the...

Today, 2Jun20, at about 8:00 AM CST, in Muscle Shoals Al, I was surprised and disappointed to discover that our local Wally World had pulled ALL its ammo and firearms. Upon inquiry at the counter, I was told the action was "due to what's going on in the nation." I inquired at the Service Desk...

I've bought a budget 1911 pattern .45 acp pistol, a Tisas. Upfront, I knew it was a clone, not a Colt or Kimber, etc, and expected to tweak and it would be a project/hobby gun. Overall, I am more than satisfied, but am experiencing a consistent failure, premature slidelock. Typically on a...

When Colt introduced the Delta/10mm, they suffered some frame cracks, and mitigated the issue by opening the notch in which the the slide lock lever travels. Some questions: -Does Colt still manufacture their 1911/10mm's with said stress relief cut? -How do other 1911 mfg's deal with the...
