Wandering around a pawn shop this morning, I came upon an orphaned Model 38 Bodyguard. It's got a pinned barrel, which indicates manufacture some time prior to 1981. The price was very, very attractive and it came with Herritt grips which happen to fit my hand just fine. I gave it a Jim March...

I was out at my favorite range today and was scrounging the brass bucket. Some of the brass I found was NATO marked .308, with an RG 93 stamp. I took it home and tried to decap it, found that it was berdan primed. I thought I was getting some good, heavy NATO brass and wound up getting an...

I went to my favorite gun store todayy to take one off of layaway. Filled out the 4473, yada, yada and the counter-guy put the information into a computer. He looks at me kinda strange and asks, "Have you ever been delayed?" "No," says I. "Why?" "Well, you've been delayed. Lemmee call...

This, courtesy of Instapundit and Knox News. It seems that Oak Ridge National Labs allows deer hunting, but they check the deer before the hunter can leave with them. Too much radioactive contamination? I wonder if they glowed in the dark? Kudos to Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the hunting.

I've used the search feature, but I'm not getting any responses that make sense. The Remington Versa-Max. I use a shotgun for occasional hunting and occasional clays shooting. Is this shotgun all that it's cracked up to be?

We were talking rifles at the deer camp today, and my brother-in-law, who is a huge Remington fan, was talking about pros and cons, and he said that one con of the Remington 700 action was the inability to work the bolt (unload the rifle) with the safety in the ON position. I'm basically a...

Mods, if this is in the wrong forum, fell free to adjust as needed. That's what Townhall.com is reporting. Evidently, there's a white paper report circulating to eliminate ATF. Not downsize, eliminate. LINKY!

Several weeks ago, someone posted about some freebie bullets and I threw my name in the ring. I have been talking with Mike in Texas about them and he agreed to share some 87 grain, quarterbore Sierra bullets. They came in the mail today. I don't remember who started the swap, but I sure...

I recently picked up a pound of a new powder from Alliant, Power Pro 2000 MR. The bottle says it's made in the USA and is a medium rifle powder. It's not spherical, nor is it a stick powder, but looks to me like a stick powder that's been squashed. I've printed the recipes pages from Alliant...

I've just come into possession of some Hornady A-Max bullets, in both .243 105 grain and .308 168 grain. I can't find anything on the Hornady site, but I'm fairly certain that if I whack one of our smallish (under 200 lbs) deer with a 168 grain bullet, he'll fold up like a cheap pocketknife...

I recently picked up a rifle that has been mall-ninja'd. He had a stock on it that didn't fit the action, a magazine that had been installed in the blind magwell with a hammer, and he had spray painted the entire action, to include the scope with some sort of spray paint. It's an ugly desert...

Okay, guys I saw a new condition yesterday that I haven't encountered. The rifle is a Savage 111, heavy barreled rifle in 7mm Rem Mag. It's probably got 500 rounds through it and we long ago settled on a load of the 140 Nosler BT bullet with IMR 4831 powder. The rifle is my son's. He's a...

I've come into possession of a POS starter pistol and I can't identify it. The local track coach is looking for help getting this pistol running and I can't even identify it. It's a .22 caliber, blank-firing starter pistol. the cylinder does not swing out, it's pinned, and for the life of me...

I'm a fan of game cams, trail cams, call them what you will. Some of them have their drawbacks, but in general they help to see where the game is moving and I've gotten some extremely interesting photos over the past couple of years. While night-time photos are interesting, they don't really...
