Hey all, I inherited a Remington 11-48 (12 gauge, modified choke) from my father after his passing. It looked very good for sitting next to the water cleaner for 20 years back at the homestead... I took it apart and cleaned it, but since I'm mostly a rifle guy it's been sitting in the back of...

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_27163543/nebraska-and-oklahoma-sue-colorado-over-marijuana-legalization Summary: Nebraska and Oklahoma (who thought those two states would ever agree to anything ...?) are mutually suing Colorado b/c of Colorado's move to de-criminalize marijuana. I see this...

Admission, I actually watch it fairly regularly. It seems a step above the mean, in the sense that the hunts generally seem un-edited: people miss, or they don't see game, or sometimes hunters make bad shots and have to track, etc. I pay attention. The tag line in the opening credits is...

I'm curious if any of the better-informed members of TFL have heard if members of ISIS are using tactics that are Russian-style (Chechnya), Iranian, US, something else? Just curious; not planning on any war tourism.

So I was chatting with my BiL who works at a public institution of higher learning in Idaho. He told me that b/c of the passing of the law that allows CCW on school campus, the school will have to hire more security people. The threat given to the school admins was that they could be civilly...

I often see on numerous threads several ideas repeatedly rehashed: 1. I was arguing/discussing/debating X (my BiL, FiL, wife, mother, guy in cafe, et al) and I was stumped by his/her Anti-gun argument. 2. What are these guys thinking? 3. What will they come up with next? So, I was browsing...

Just saw a guy on a hunting show shooting a right-handed bolt action rifle left handed and using his left eye to sight. My initial reaction was "Well, that ain't right!" Then I thought about it and I'm not sure that eye dominance matters if the shooter is using a scope. Sure cycling the bolt...

Dear Abby, I love the way my Ruger SR9c feels in my hands. All of our time at the range is quality time. No FTF, FTEs, not a lot of backtalk. A very sweet girl. I don't particularly mind the manual safety, as my last steady crush, a Makarov, had one. But I would prefer the double no-think...

http://www.dailycamera.com/editorials/ci_24688560/research-shows-which-behaviors-can-put-others-at More research will, I'm sure, turn up more "dangerous elements" amongst the ciitzenry. Not sure if a 10 year ban is the goal for all of these new sub-sets of citizens, but this appears to be the...

So, I got a late rifle prong horn tag this year for several units in the eastern plains of colorado. It's a first for me. I've never been pronghorn hunting, so I had no idea what to expect. Luckily, my wife has a college friend who she is still tight with and that friend grew up on a ranch...

So I left the range early rather than waste ammo. Then I got to thinking: was I wrong? I there any benefit to training/practicing when you're just not yourself? It seemed like focus, dexterity, eye sight just weren't there for me. Just curious if there's other opinions.

I don't have much to contribute, but they're fun topics to read.

So I picked up some .40 on the way home yesterday and I was giddy that there was some on the shelf at Wallyworld. So I picked up random 3 boxes, including for the first time Federal Champion FMJ FN (I assume that means full metal jacket flat nose, which is what the bullets have). Anyhow, I get...

So, as expected, the floods have closed my deer areas this fall. I only have December antelope hunting to look forward to. So, as a first time antelope hunter, my question is this: Do I just go with my normal method and use my day pack as my base for shooting prone or should I buy a bipod...

Ok, not to hijack the wolves/sabotage thread, but I've been doing some thinking. I elk hunt way the heck out in the middle of nowhere, so sabatoge isn't really an option, so no problems there. However, I have pulled a deer tag in the game unit next to boulder, Colorado. There's lots of USFS...

I just received my new Hogue overmold stock with the aluminum block. There seems to be something unfinished about the center action screw pillar. Metal surrounds the rear hole at the 12, 4,8 positions. It looks to me as though the rear portion of the aluminum block wasn't machined down...

If you live in Boulder, Gilpin, Laramie, Clear Creek counties, there will be a meeting in your county to discuss a blanket policy for shooting on public land. Circle the date on your calendar and GO...

Just out of curiousity: Whatever happened to this project? http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460709&highlight=sks+fal

http://video.repubblica.it/natura/mamma-capriolo-salva-piccolo-da-cinghiale/122428/120913?ref=HRESS-4 And, to make this gun-related and not a drive by: what caliber would you use at this distance if you were holding a rifle and not a video camera? I would use my AR with 7.62AK upper and red dot.

I couldn't find this topic when I searched, but if it's buried deep maybe it needs updating anyhow. so I am going to visit a friend in Texas. I don't live in Texas. He and I have been talking about selling (to him) one of my firearms. If I brought it down with me and we spent some range...
