Hi all. Heading out tonight to the Wister unit on the Salton Sea for the last 2 days of duck season. Any info on good sights to choose would be greatly appreciated. Went out there 3 weeks ago for the first time (alone) and hunted Y16B #1, and I shot a Green-wing Teal and a Ruddy. Had a great...

Is the shot size BB the same size as the BBs that we run through my sons BB gun? And if so, can I use them for reloading? Got a ton of them lying around, and hoping to get some good distance shot for Band-tailed Pigeons here in the next few weeks? Any other suggestions for hunting Band-tailed...

Here in Southern California, there is a lot of fun gun stuff you just can’t do... HOWEVER, from November 12th until the 27th of December, killin' these three little delicious morsels on the same hunt IS a fun gun thing I have the opportunity to do:D And yesterday, on the opener of our second...

I just got a nice used New Haven 600 AT 12 gauge shotgun (it's the old Monkey Ward version ov the Mossberg 500- same gun), and it's been great for small birds- dove and quail. My hunting buddy has a Benelli Nova which can handle the big 3-and-a-half geese loads, but my and can only take up to a...

My hunting buddy and I drove out to the Salton Sea/Niland area to check out the dove fields for the second dove season opener, and we had a great time. We saw quail, cottontail, ducks, and what I'm pretty sure was a few snipe. The snipe were almost pure white, little skinny legs, and the telling...

Quail hunting for my first time tomorrow morning with an H&R 12 gauge in a farly open chapperel area of southern California. Using simple cheap Federal wallmart ammo. Which size shot is best, 8 or 6, and why? I have found they both work for dove- seem to get longer kill shots (further distance)...

Hello all. Super excited to go dove hunting in about 3 hours- my first time. I have a few quick questions. I'm hunting a foothill area here in Southern California, and it's about 90-95 degrees. How long can I wait to breast each dove. I ask because this area has quite a few birds, and I'd like...

My father-in-law (his name is Art) just gave me an old Berry's tumbler for cleaning my brass, and I have a few questions about it. It seems pretty solid, and I hope it's worth using. Please view the attached pictures and my questions below. Art told me I would need to add about a cup of...

So here's what I pack in my medium sized backpack for a nice early morning or late afternoon rabbit hunt. -Little three piece Smith and Wesson "Bulls Eye" knife set. $20 on sale at Big 5 Sporting Goods which included a nice little heavy clever for head/leg removal, a small thin incisor knife to...

Little Thumper and one of his slightly larger friends were delicious! I made a simple cream based pasta out of them. This is a follow up to my "First Successful Hunt" post from last week. You can view that post here if ya like: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=458336 For those...

Went up into the hills today and shot my first 2 Cottontails in less than 30 minutes! I have a few questions as a new hunter. As soon as as I shot these little guys, I raced back down to my car and drove home. My newfound hunting ground is very close to my house, and I had each skinned and...

Pretty excited, and interested in advice from forum members.

This would be super fun with the either a .223 or better yet with .22lr converted AR in the interest of lower ammo cost. Question is, would it work with a .22 converted AR? Anyone tried it yet? What do you think? Here are a couple of YouTube videos...

I need a competent gunsmith who is familiar with the GSG-5 rifle (in true German engineering fashion, this thing has hundreds of parts) for a thorough cleaning, preferably in the Inland Empire/San Bernardino area. Anybody know of anyone good?

MODEL R46102 For the price this seems like a great little gun. Runs about 350$ here in California with tax and fees. I'm attracted to the .357 because of the option to put .380s through the gun as well. The grip also feels very good as I do not have very large hands. This will be my first...

I've got a new little smooth-bored single-shot H&H Pardner 12 gauge with a fixed MOD choke. Some on this site have told me it's okay to put regular slugs (not Salbot slugs) through this gun, being that regular slugs are made of very soft lead. My local gun-smith told me I'd ruin my barrel- and...

I just bought a very nice Russian SKS, and it's in really good shape (I'd say 85%-90%). I unfortunately live in California where our tactical options are limited as most of you probably already know. There is a new company called SG Works that sells a California legal bullpup stock for only...
