    Browning A-5 Dating

    So other than the book by Shirley and Vanderlinden is there an effective means of running down the serial number on an A-5? Gave into impulse and put a Belgium Browning A-5 on law away at my LGS. In an effort to bide my time until my refund check comes in and I can claim my new prize, I'm...

    Little Sister's First Duck

    So, in Georgia, duck season is nearly over. Earlier in the year, I promised I'd take my younger sister, who is the baby of the family, hunting this year. Well, between her schooling, swimming, and church stuff, and my full time job and new found Guard responsibilities, it hadn't quite happened...

    That time again.

    The boat is cleaned and the outboard serviced. Waders have been worn in the bathtub. The Benelli has been oiled and cleaned, and then oiled and cleaned again. Two new boxes of Remington Hyper-Sonic No. 2 were purchased, because as the newest thing, it must be the best, right? The hidey hole...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I've got quite the assortment of various guns. And I generally pride myself on taking care of them, however, recently, I've been having a problem with surface rust. It seems that no matter how well I wipe the gun down before it goes back in the safe or back into its back, it will have little...

    Mom's are great.

    So, came over to my parents after church to do some yard wok for Mom. In the process of clearing away and old rotted wood pile, so as to make nice long sweeps with the tractor. I come across a nest of little timber-rattlers, all curled up in a ball. I quickly make my way to the house, and not...

    Care and Maintenance

    Mods and Staff, Would it be possible to have a specific sub forum dedicated to the cleaning of guns and the necessary materials thereof? I feel like some memebers, myself included, would have questions specifically related to gun cleaning and care, but aren't necessarily gunsmithing type...

    Uzi ammunition

    Could the Uzi submachine gun, such as the fully automatic variant issued to the USSS until about the mid-90s, fire +P or +P+ ammunition? In doing some reading on the topic, I haven't been able to find a solid answer either way. Thanks in advance for any insights. Mods-I posted this in NFA...

    The things we do

    I've notice, that as a group, hunters can have some peculiar habits they develop and little quirks they pick up along the way. For instance, this past sunay afternoon, I was packing away my duck hunting stuff as I watched the Falcons. Hosed off my waders, unloaded all the shells from my vet...

    .22 Lever feeding issues

    My roomate has a very nice Marlin lever action .22 and has complained of feeding issues with the Remington bulk pack ammo he normally shoots. For Christmas, I am contemplating getting him some decent ammo to shoot through the thing, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with lever .22s...

    And it starts.

    Bought my duck stamp, printed off a new copy of my current license(got a little wet last year), and called Pops three times already asking him to check the lights on the boat trailer, dig out my waders, and make sure the registation numbers are still readable. One of my Fraternity Brothers and...

    Mossberg 590 magazine issue

    So, I recently got my Mossbrg 590 back from Mossberg after having a problem with the reciever. Turn around was great, evn if contact between myself and Mossberg was a little spotty. However, it seems that the magazine tube is only accepting seven instead of the capacity eight 2 3/4 shells. You...

    AR-15 Carbine Nomenclature

    Okay, I posted this in general discussion bcause I flt it was more pedantic than any technical discussion of smi-automatic rifles. First, I carried an M-4A1 with an underslung M-203 when I was in the Guard. I called it either "my m four" or alternately, "my rifle", and always inwardly...

    Gun books

    I recently moved into an apartment after living in the fraternity house for the last four years and finally got enough book cases to display all of my books. At first, I was quite proud of my "gun section", which included a lot of well known greats, such as a "Rifleman Went to War" and "Fast...

    .38 SPL ammunition availability

    Do any big, or small for that matter, reputable manufactures make a .38 Special LSWCHP in a non +P loading? I've search Midway to no avail, the closest I came to were either UMC jacketed hollow points or "remanufactured" ammunition.
