    First time out with the Finn M39 Late Date

    All I can say is Wow. This thing is a ta k driver. Such a nice trigger. Straight out of the case I sent 4 rounds of 185 grain Monarch down range @ 25 yards, then went to check I was taken back. NONE of my Russian Nagant's will hold a candle to this rifle. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Early 1970's Blackhawk

    Hello Everyone, I just put a deposit down on a Beautiful early 70's Blackhawk (serial number dates it to 1973 I think) chambered in 45 Colt ( I have grown very fond of that round thanks to my Pietta). It hasn't ever been sent back to have the transfer bar installed either. I'm pretty excited to...

    Sig P238 Rainbow

    Hey Ya'll, So I finally broke down and got SWMBO'S rainbow P238. I have heard about that dang gun for quite a while lol. So as of yesterday she is the proud owner of one phsycadelic little pistolis. [emoji2]. I have to say it's a very nice little gun, points well, and feels good in the hand...

    I'm finally getting a 1911

    After a very long time of putting it off I'm finally going to be the proud owner of my first 1911. Nothing says 'MERICA quite like a 1911 [emoji41]. I looked at I think ALL of them online from the bargain imports to the way too expensive for this family man. I didn't want a decked out tacticool...

    Stevens Model 350 Shell Stop

    I'm trying to fix my BIL's Stevens 350. It has a broken shell stop. I can not find any parts for this thing anywhere online. I have an email in to Savage to see if they can help. I'm not really holding my breath though. I also see that the model 350 is discontinued and I say good riddance. This...

    Is the .17 WSM worth it?

    Hey Guys. I'm really disappointed with the .17HMR. It's not the rounds fault I just think I'm asking it to do too much. Here in SC we have to use rimfire rifles at night right now to hunt Yotes. I have lost so many dogs it's unreal. I have no doubt they die because I hear the bullet hit them...

    Do you just always have that doubt?

    Sitting in the stand this breezy evening with the Kentucky rifle in my lap, I got to wondering. Will this thing go boom when the time comes? It's been charged since last Saturday right after the hammer fell on that deer. There was no cleaning involved just a quick reload while sitting in the...

    WHEW!! 1969 Dated M39's Sold out in 1 hour!

    Classic Firearms had about 14 of these 1969 dated M39's that went on sale at 2 pm today, they all sold in about 1 hour for 700 bucks :eek:. I guess the 1968 dated M39 I bought from them some months back in virtually unissued condition has gone up in value. :rolleyes: I think their marketing...

    Sidelocks and Bucks

    Shot this guy this am with my Traditions Kentucky Rifle. Dropped him where he stood. He was 25 feet to the left of my stand. Had it charged with 90 grs KIK FFG .490 ball and .015 ticking patch. He did not take one step. Nice clean kill. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    What in the world? Lee RB dropping far too small

    I was running out of .490 RB for my smoke poles, so I got out an old Lee 1 cavity and whipped out a hundred or so. I never thought to measure them as I always just shoot muzzle loader projectiles as cast never a problem until now. So today I got out the boom stick and struck out to the back...

    Why no breech loading inlines

    Seems the modern muzzleloader makers are on and have been on a quest for the faster, easier black powder rifles. I know alot of states specifically state that a Muzzleloader is a rifle that is loaded from the muzzle. But, still why hasn't there been a modern breech loading rifle? Push in your...

For a 339 dollar complete upper it comes with some pretty nice features. The barrel is free floated, Stainless, 1:8...

    Over powder wad

    Hey guys, Can I punch out some 1/2" felt wads from this sheet I got from durofelt and use them DRY, NO LUBE as an over powder wad? I hear that some guys have better luck with the Lee REAL boolits when they use an over powder wad. I use an over powder card in the revolvers when they are loaded...

    Traditions Kentucky Rifle Range Trip.

    I was going to build the Traditions Kentucky Rifle from a kit. Instead I took the easy way out and ordered the factory finished rifle. I figured I have alot of tools to gather first, so I'll just put off a kit till later. Anyway, the rifle looks great, the fit and finish is pretty good. After...

    Anybody have or have experience with one? I'm looking to get a Rifle in 30-06. The Patriot comes in good old American Walnut. Seems to get good tube reviews. But I would like to hear from my TFL brethren. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Don't Hammer your ball!

    When I can't get to the range I watch shooting videos :D. Seems its a common theme for people to beat the snot out of the ball "to ensure no air space". I do get the reason behind it, but man all that hammering is NOT necessary and CAN'T be good for accuracy. In one video the fella actually...

    Testing some projectiles in the TC Hawken

    I'm hunting with this TC this season so while at Academy I picked up a few different bullets to try. Since the Maxi ball WILL NOT go in this thing without a 3lb sledge I tried some different bullets. Today I tried 240 gr. Hornady XTP in a green low drag sabot, 295gr. Powerbelt copper Aerotip...
