What are the top 10 guns or gun types that you should find in every gun owner's safe? I'll start the list with these: 1) .22 semiauto rifle (Marlin 60, Ruger 10/22, Rem 597, etc.) 2) Pump Shotgun (Rem 870, Mossy 500/835/535/590, Win 1300) 3) Single shot shotgun (H&R, NEF, Savage/Stevens...

Ah that feeling....... a new shotgun.......or new to me anyways I traded a fellow today for one of these: http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/premier_dealer_exclusives/model_870_express_7-shot.asp The folding stock model not the double pistol grip one. What can I say, I like...

I've yet to see another member post about one, just wondering if I'm alone in my affection for this little pocket caliber. Mine is the original NAA Guardian version. I understand that there are aftermarket barrels available for Makarovs that make that little bullet breathe fire as it leaves the...

If you were only limited to two bolt action centerfire rifles in your safe and you wanted to be covered for any possible application in North America (lets leave African hunting out of this one for now) which two rifles/calibers would you choose? Personally I have Remington 700's in .30-06 and...

If anyone's been wondering where I've been lately, I've had kindof a rough week. On Saturday, Sept 22nd, I went into work for about 8 hours and then headed for the woods to bow hunt. I was tired and PO'd from work and really needed the relaxation of a nice evening hunt. I picked up my father...

I was at the range yesterday doing some shooting. Also met up with a fellow THR'er, edhaus. Nice guy to hang out with. I have been an advocate of 00 buck as the ideal HD round out of a shotgun. I know, I know, it's a debate that's been done to death......:rolleyes: I have seen others post...

I see a lot of threads on here relating to how Police sometimes respond negatively to open carry of firearms. I had an experience yesterday that I thought I would relate that was quite the opposite. My father in law and I were going to do a little archery pre-season scouting and tree stand...

Well foxnews.com is carrying an article regarding the report on the VA Tech shooting. A telling snippet from that article: Simply put, the school cannot protect you from a rampaging psychpath bent on revenge. Yet the state and campus will also not let you have the means to protect yourself...

I've got a blued Ruger P89 where the bluing has seen better days. It's been a woods gun, a truck gun, and a CCW gun in it's 12 year lifespan. It's not terrible, but it definitely has some holster wear on the high spots and at the muzzle. Would it be possible to duracoat the slide if I detail...

I have come to the conclusion that I am not a revolver guy. I traded Bennnn a few weeks ago for a Taurus 817. While fun to shoot and light to carry it just didn't do IT for me (whatever that indefinable it is). I took it with me to the Greensboro gun show yesterday thinking I would have it...

And if you have can you walk me through it? I just bought a Wolf 16lb recoil spring and it came with a firing pin spring. I was looking at the schematics for detail stripping the slide, but wanted to know if there's anything I need to know before I start, other than not to let any small springs...

I just got two used aftermarket barrels for my Ruger P90, one ported, the other threaded. I was unsure (as was the original owner) about the manufacturer, but my email conversations with the original retailer indicates they were made by Federal Arms Corp, which is now out of business. I have...

I have a couple of mounted antler racks, not full head mounts, just antler/skull plate mounts. About two weeks ago my wife was dusting the cobwebs off one and it fell to the floor breaking the skull plate right down the middle. I set it aside with the intention of finding a way to screw a brace...

After the last thread comparing the two I decided to do some testing. I was under the assumption that my Marlin would outshoot my stock 10/22. I was wrong. Full details of my tests including target pics can be found at my blog here. Basically I benched both my Marlin 60 and my Ruger 10/22...

I thought we could all share our experiences in choosing clothing for CCW. Some may think this has been done to death, but I haven't seen anything on it in awhile and I have two observations I can offer to start the discussion: 1) Don't try to pocket carry anything in Old Navy brand shorts. I...

I loaded my first heavy bullet loads for .45ACP for deer hunting this evening. I loaded 260 gr Speer SJHP's (No. 4481) over 5.7 gr. of Win 231, which is about midway between the starting load of 5.4 gr. and max load of 5.9 gr. According to Speer's data and my best guesstimate at averaging the...

....but this time comparing shotshells :D Be honest, when you saw the thread title you rolled your eyes didn't you? I was browsing through Walmart one evening recently and ran across some boxes of CCI shotshells for 9mm and .45 for 4.50 per box of 10. I have always wondered how well these...

How many here split the pelvis of deer and like animals and how many leave the pelvis intact? I leave it intact and cut around the relevant orifices/organs removing the digestive/excretory tract in one piece from throat to tail without splitting the bone. Anyone else do it this way?

:mad: A beautiful afternoon at the range ruined by crappy Wolf ammo. I fired 8 rounds through my P89 and the 9th one went "pffft". Even before I checked I knew what I would find. There was no recoil so the slide didn't cycle the next round through. I stripped the gun and shined my Inova...

I went to the range after work for a little .17HMR plinking with the Savage 9317. It has the package deal Simmons 8 point scope that came on it still. After the 15th round or so I noticed that my crosshairs seemed a bit off level. Not majorly but just a little. I picked the rifle up off the...
