Cruising the pawn shops like an old shark can have its payoffs. While cruising one of them last week, I noticed a black scattergun on the ‘Used’ rack that looked a tad different than your typical riot gun. I made out the profile of a short 870, with a vent rib. ‘Chop Job” I said to myself as I...

I recently swapped into a like-new 2007-production Mini 14. It's primary purpose was to fill the role of a Patrol Carbine. The Mini's .223 Remington cartridge and 'Ranch Rifle' designation also fit my secondary intentions for it quite well. Now, I don't have any heartburn for the AR15, but I...

“The CID is a 'minimalist' design with an open top and no secondary retention devices. It is a tribute to the 'KISS' principle, as applied to the concealed carry of a substantial sidearm.”

There is much to celebrate. We are still (relatively) free, we live in the greatest nation on earth, and we just received a favorable 2A ruling from the US Supreme Court. Get out and make some noise! For me at least, it seems like a good year to burn some black powder, in celebration of freedom.

I drug old Santa Fe out for some 200 yard work today. My back sight is a little loose and until I tighten that up or replace it, I'm not worrying much about zero... so the object was to just get it on paper at 200 yards so we could see how she'd shoot Hornady .54 ball at that distance. The...

My trusty, rusty .54 Hawken.

I fired a few more shots this AM to get an idea of what I might expect in accuracy/velocity from this .308 with its 20" barrel. Shooting was done early with the temp hovering at 16 degrees and a 10 mph west wind in my face. Yes, it was cold enough to be distracting and all the other standard...

HiTech Tack-Tickle Assault Rifle... (Savage 99) Circa 1899 I've always had an affinity for these things, which caught up with me today. They are not exactly 'svelte' but they do a lot of things pretty darn well- and they suit my style of rifle work to a T. I love the fact that you squeeze...

Romney says he'll veto any gun control bill that crosses his desk as president. He also says that he recognizes the Second Amendment as an individual right. More...worth a listen. http://politicscentral.com/2008/02/02/the_glenn_and_helen_show_mitt_1.php If he makes it past Tuesday, he can beat...

Hi Folks, This is just a note to let everyone know that I have changed my Username from 'invssgt' to Sarge. I'll probably bump this a time or two over the next 24 hours so that anyone interested gets a chance to see it. This change will greatly simplify correspondence generated by my webpage &...

For some time now I have had the urge to try a Meprolite front sight on my little Ruger SP101. This is a dandy little .357 but was cursed with a factory front sight that was both too short, and hard to see in all but the best light. The gun shot high and required a LOW 6 o'clock sight pic for 25...

Mods...this thread got carried off by the black helicopters or something today. I looked all over for it via conventional means & couldn't locate it so I'm reposting it I have been fiddling with a no-button Winchester 94AE 30-30, playing with loads and trying to find something that would...

I have a few questions which I was unable to answer by searching their site; so I thought I'd ask them here. Is this grip- One piece? Mount in the same fashion as the OEM grip? Mount solidly on the gun? Wider or longer than OEM grip? More or less prone to cling to clothing? I pack a 2...

I have had 3/4 pound of this stuff sitting around for a couple of years, which was given to me by my older brother when he cleaned out his reloading shed...this along with several other "oddball" powders that came in the same batch. I'm a "simple kind of man" when it comes to reloading. Give me...

This is a vitally important senate seat. The question here is ridiculously simple- do we keep a senator with an excellent history of supporting gun rights, or do we replace him with a candidate who has crusaded against firearms rights and the defensive use of firearms? Please forward this to all...

A recent post on another forum prompted me to do something I’ve been needing to do for awhile anyhow; unlimber my old S&W Model 29-2. The original poster had inquired if the 4" barrel was a handicap, for a general-use .44 rrevolver. I’ve shot a lot of 29’s & 629’s over the years, and owned...

You Colt boys are gonna love this one... a real shooter here. http://sargesrollcall.blogspot.com/2006/07/colts-new-rollmark-1991a1-government.html

If you’re bored with your shooting routine, here’s a little something that’ll make you stretch your legs a bit- classic, one-hand pistol shooting from the “bullseye stance”. The gun I used for this exercise is a mildly-accurized Auto Ordnance 1911-A1 “WWII Model” but you can do this with...
