So I help out part time at a little gunshop once a week and work for store credit. I was reorganizing his ammo shelves and came accross a couple boxes of Corbon .300 Whisper. I got to looking at it and wondering about it and now I can't stop. I usually let my wife use my Mini 14 for hunting...

So I'm sitting on my butt in front of the tv watching Survivorman when the doorbell rings. I open the door and see a well dressed man with a badge around his neck and a file folder under his arm. "Are you Matthew?" "Yes sir." "I'm so-and-so with Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, I need to...

So I picked one of these up real cheap yesterday, just a regular 10, not a D. Stock needed to be refinished (mostly done already) needs action screws and a trigger guard and some trigger work. The trigger work consists of needing a return spring. I was hoping someone would be able to post pics...

Well, this little bugger followed me home today. Kind of an unofficial b-day present to myself. I've been wanting it for a while and finally broke down. But the only info I have on it is what the guy at the shop told me. It was imported by Beeman in the 90s and sold under their name. It was made...

I recently came into possession of an odd peep sight in a box of stuff I bought. The markings read: Millard Bros. Made in Great Britain. It's a pretty nice sight, or it will be once I clean it up. It has micrometer adjustments as well as a what I believe to be a yardage adjustment on the left...

There are plenty of favorite gun threads on here but I would like to hear about the 5 favorite rifles that you own or have owned in the past. Mine are: Springfield P17 sporter in .375 H&H Puma 92 in .454 Casull Remington 24 .22LR Mossberg 146 B .22LR Savage Model 10 in .358 Winchester What are...

I was in one of my local honey hole pawn shops today browsing the rifle racks. They had an old H&R Leather Neck with one of the most beautifully tiger striped stocks I had ever seen that I was looking at until I noticed the home-brew-whittled-in-with-a-pocketknife checkering and the $700 price...

Well, I went looking for a lever action in .45 Colt and I walked into this pawn shop and there it was, a brand new Ruger Blackhawk convertible in .357 Mag, 4 5.8 bbl, blued. It had the extra cylinder to shoot 9mm which I thought was really cool. I had been thinking seriously of getting a Vaquero...

I scored me a Puma 92 today in .454/.45 Colt! The best part is it didn't cost me a thing! I traded an old Baikal SxS and an old .22 rifle for it straight up. I took them to another gunshop before I did and the guy offered me $210 for both, about what I expected but he didn't really have what I...

Hey guys! I'm back from Rimfirecentral, for now. So I ran across a Savage 842(marked Sears something or other) .30-30 today in a shop and I really like it. I'm going to see if he'll work a trade on it, but I wanted to see what the consensus is on these rifles and what a decent price would be...

I don't know if this has been posted or not but here it is. I got it in an email from CDNN. So far the signature count is pretty pathetic, let's give it a raise. Please sign and forward this to every person you know that owns a gun or isn't an anti...

Hi guys, I was in a pawn shop today intending to buy an old Mossberg 152and found it had been bought, Well I came across a Remington model 24, they wanted $150 but took $125. I had to have it, it is the coolest little .22 I have ever seen, bottom eject, loads through the butt, etc. I know next...

Alright guys, I have ventured into reloading and just acquired a beautifully sporterized P17 that was rechambered to .375 H&H. I ran accross a box of Hornady Heavy Magnums loaded with 300gr Interbonds. Problem is, the magazine was never converted to magnum length and the 300 gr cartridges won't...

We all know Peta's stand on hunting. Follow the link below and listen to one of their campaign director's advocation of terrorism. Please sign this petition and forward this to every hunter you know to help revoke their tax exempt status. Bush signed AETA, now I believe this is a good way for us...

Well guys it's a sad day in Fatts' house. I am forced to sell my drum set to accomodate changing living arrangements and a lack of floor space. They went on Ebay this evening. Anyhoo, I thought that since I am not particularly eager to part with them that I would buy something I have wanted for...

Hi guys. I've been working on a Savage model 10, I have rebarelled it to .358 Winchester and done some other light work to it. I ordered a replacement stock from Richard's (www.rifle-stocks.com) to get away from the cheesy factory synthetic. I had found one on the clearance page that already had...

I know there have been threads on this pistol already but I had to share/brag. I sold one of my pistols I just don't shoot too much anymore and decided this is what I want to replace it. So I got off the phone with one of the largest STI distributors in the country today and I have one out of 10...

I am selling a pistol on Gunbroker and need to know how to go about shipping it out to the receiving FFL. Can I ship it myself or does it have to go out of an FFL? I'm pretty sure it has to be overnighted right? Do I have to declare it as a firearm? And since it is a handgun it cannot go through...

My brother and I decided to go out to the Green Swamp Tuesday night for an overnight trip. It drizzled on and off all night. We were checked in and in the woods by about 5:20, headed for a spot I hunted my previous time out where I had seen some hog sign. There was a light drizzle coming down...

I went to the tactical jerky/underwear show today with hopes of finding a good shotgun. I had been looking for a new HD shotgun and was trying to decide between a Winchester Defender ($249) and a Remington 870 Wingmaster with synthetic furniture and rifle sights ($225). I had just decided to go...
