My current truck gun is a Ruger P97DC .45 ACP with 8+1 capacity and 2 spare 8 round mags. I chose to assign this particular gun to truck duty because at the time I was most often carrying a Ruger P345 which used the same magazines. It made sense. Then...... I now tend to most often carry a...

This one is for the children.......No really......it is....... I was wandering around Gander Mountain this evening and found a deal I couldn't pass up. Yes you read that right, I put Gander Mountain and deal in the same sentence. Wierd huh?? So to the good part....... I found an 870...

I got this KY State Police trade in 870 from Budsgunshop.com recently. It's about what I expected it would be, worn on the outside, pristine on the inside. The action bars show very little bluing wear, telling me this gun was carried a lot in the cruiser and fired very little. Will need to add...

Seems as if something has gone all hinky in the tail cap of my E2D. It will turn on, if I click it 10 or 12 times whilst standing on my head with my tongue hanging out just so. It will then turn back off if I click it 10 or 12 more times whilst pirouetting counterclockwise whistling the theme...

I just picked this up a little over a week ago and already it's becoming a favorite in the carry rotation. Surprisingly it's no less convenient to carry than my SP101's. It's a little heavier, but not prohibitively so. It's a little thicker, but again this is not a deal breaker. The compact grip...

I just had to stop in the LGS at lunch today...........:o........ Wingmaster Magnum 28" Remchoke. It has wear marks. It will have more.......

We see threads around here all the time re: short barrel .357 ammo. Most of the references and posts concern 1 7/8" to 2 1/4" guns and appropriate loads. We also often discuss the 125 and 158 grain loads from 4" + guns. So my question, for those guns that fall in the middle, what would you...

This makes 3 GP100's, to go with my 3 SP101's and LCR. Happened across a 3" used fixed sight blued GP100 while browsing Budsgunshop.com's used section. I would have preferred stainless, but I've noticed these 3" guns don't tend to hang around very long, so I'll cope with the lack of shinyness...

Anyone using them? How's the performance been (with what type of shotgun and ammo?)? Any testing on larger sizes of buckshot? All I can seem to find online are results from T and #4 Buck. Looking for info up to #1 or 00. I'm thinking it may be too tight for the larger sizes but that's what I'm...

I'm about ready (I think) to swap out the firing pin and bolt shroud assembly on my Remington 700 ADL .243 Win. It's one of the later models with the ISS. My earlier LA ADL in .30-06 is not burdened with the ISS and has a VERY nice trigger out of the box. From what I've read swapping the bolt...

Did the Boone Fork trail yesterday with my old backpack I used when I was in school up here (App. State). It has seen it's better days and is really not ideal for what I was using it for. I don't need something large. I really don't like backpacks but prefer sling packs. Had one years ago that...

As any gun owner/parent knows, teaching your kids gun safety is important from the start. I've made a point to do so with both my 8 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Today a friend was over with her two kids (around the same age as ours). My guns were all locked up in safes with the...

From time to time, various firearm and related equipment manufacturers offer discounts for Hunter's Education or Firearm Safety instructors. I just found out through my local district coordinator that Trijicon is currently running a discount. If you are an instructor and are interested call...

I've got several .45ACP Ruger semiauto handguns. They all take the same magazine. Basically a 1911 magazine body and follower with a differently positioned mag catch cutout. Would it be possible or feasible to modify a Marlin Camp .45 to take the Ruger magazine over the standard 1911 magazine...

Well I just bought one. :D. I told myself I was going to wait a year, but a local shop (Morris Firearms, Yadkinville, NC) had one for sale and I bit. First one I've actually seen anywhere. Haven't shot it yet and might be a couple or three weeks before I can make it to the range with it...

A fellow on our local forum offered one for sale recently for $450.00. In box with paperwork. A 2002 model. A couple of light handling marks but otherwise LNIB with all paperwork. Locks up tight as a bank vault. In lieu of cash, I offered in trade a case of XM193 ammo I had in the closet. We...

So there I was, cleaning a brand new (to me) Ruger SP101 4" .22LR......... I should stop here a moment to describe the place where I clean my guns. My shop. A 10x16 outbuilding with an L Shaped bench going across the back and down the right hand wall. Along that bench is my reloading setup, my...

I'm new to the whole AR15 thing. I own a 16" carbine and am in the process of putting together a 20" rifle. A question struck me though as I was logging in to TFL. I saw the graphic with the Dissipator AR and it got me thinking, What's the purpose of that configuration and what exactly is it...

I was talking with one of my employees this week who is a volunteer firefighter. His Assistant Chief's wife was home alone earlier in the week when a man wearing a mask and gloves broke into their back door. She managed to get her hands on a baseball bat and beat him badly enough that he ran...

Hey folks, In a couple years or so, my wife and I are likely to do an addition to our house. We're still in the thinking/planning/dreaming stages right now. What I imagine we'll end up doing is adding to the end of the house where our bedroom is currently situated. We're thinking a "parents...
