This probably only matters to me. Two or three years ago when my grandson said he was working toward becoming an Eagle Scout, I promised him my standard Henry lever action 22. He has worked hard and recently met all the requirements and will have the presentation in a week or two. He has been...

People,many new to gun ownership, are buying every gun they can find right now. However, with the slowing economy, increased unemployment and probable upcoming recession due to the Coronavirus, will Pawn Shops have a flood of guns pawned/sold to them when bills come due and food runs low? Many...

They are at up to their tricks again. I went to their website a few minutes ago at someone else's suggestion and the same 9MM ammo I paid $8.99 for yesterday at Rural King is over $32 on their website. All of their ammo is priced that way.

I started shooting handguns with semi-automatics. Early on, I had a revolver but I shot it single action because I was more accurate that way. I wasn't ever a bad shot but I shot single actions better (1911, Ruger Mark III, etc). I shot my little bitty Taurus TCP worse than any of them. A...

As the Amazon Basin struggles to cut deforestation, this New York Times article highlights how incentive programs like ASRI's chainsaw buy back and non-cash payments have substantive results for communities!

My wife of over 51 years has never fired a gun of any kind. Over many years she has gone from someone terrified to be around guns to someone who understands why I love them and the only question she has asked when I bought the last few was "do you have room for it?" When she sees or hears...

I went to Rural King in Wytheville, Va. this afternoon to buy a new revolver. It took a little while as there were 5 of us buying guns at the same time. As I waited, one of the gun salesman and the manager got to talking about an incident that happened to them this morning (I think). A gun...

Accuracy International (makes sniper rifles) is building an assembly plant and underground testing range in Caroline County.https://www.fredericksburg.com/news/local/caroline/firearms-manufacturer-to-establish-underground-testing-facility-in-caroline/article_994eafa8-1d64-5c72-9c1b-5c5270ce4d2f.html

A Democratic bill to require background checks for gun purchases - a key component of new Governor Northam's gun agenda - died in the Senate Courts of Justice Committee. Another Northam-backed bill to allow localities to ban firearms at permitted events - which stemmed from the violent white...

My next door neighbor (sister-in-law's husband and Marine Vietnam Vet) has been telling me for years that he had a pump shotgun he bought 15+ years ago that he wanted to get out and have me check it out for him. He bought it for home protection but had never shot it. He had no idea what it was...

I spent most of my life shooting my guns with one eye closed. It was a hard habit to change but I learned to shoot my handguns with both eyes open. I find it works well and it makes me a better shot. However, I have a hard time shooting my rifles with both eyes open and find it impossible...

I have been a fan of rimfires since the early 60s. I already had rimfires in semi-auto, bolt action and lever action rifles as well as revolvers and semi-auto pistols. I thought I had all I wanted until I ran across an ad for a light little plastic rifle that looked like a AK-47 toy rifle last...

My friend has hunted turkeys for decades and loves it. He has given me an interest in trying it. If I decide to give it a try, I will have to acquire another shotgun as my 3 (12,16 and 20) have a modified choke or less with newest one being 53 years old and the two others are 69 years old. He...

I didn't need another rimfire rifle since I already have a Marlin 60, Henry lever action and Marlin 25MN. They all function, look and shoot like new but I ran across an ad in the local paper for the AK47 styled 22 rifle made my Mossberg. I read all of the reviews and Youtube videos I found and...

I took a late 40s J.C. Higgins Model 20 12 gauge pump shotgun in a trade today. From what I can tell through looking at it and with some research, it apparently came with a PowePac choke on it originally but it doesn't have one now. It look darn good for being my age (68) and it performs much...

I was talking to a cousin's widow this morning to give her some bad news about another cousin and we got to talking about the election. She detests Trump and said she might have to vote for Hillary. When I told her that I was a one issue voter this year because of the gun issue, we got to...

I couldn't find the Rock Island Armory I wanted locally so I ordered one from Gallery of Guns on September 25th. but late in the day. They said if I had not heard from my chosen LGS in three or four days, to give the store a call. I called on Wednesday and they didn't have it and asked me to...

I bought a little Phoenix HP-22A semi-automatic pistol in 2012. At $149 MSRP, it was the cheapest new semi-automatic I could find and it has a lifetime warranty. I shot several thousand rounds through it. I looked at it closely Friday before last and saw a crack in the slide. The CS...

I was showing my neighbor my new S & W SD9VE today and he said he wanted a semi-automatic pistol instead of his old but very nice Taurus 80 38 Special with Hoague grips. Since I no longer had a need for my Hi-Point C9, I offered to trade with him. He shot the Hi-Point and decided he would...
