I have a MEC 9000G progressive shotshell reloader that I got new about 5 years ago. After reading the manual and assembling as instructed, I reloaded a couple dozen 12ga shotshells. The machine worked fine, the shells also worked fine. Yesterday I decided to start reloading shotshell again...

Just thought I'd check the Smitty board just in case. I have a MEC 9000G progressive shotshell reloader that I got new about 5 years ago. After reading the manual and assembling as instructed, I reload a couple dozen 12ga shotshells. The machine worked fine, the shells also worked fine...

I just read the thread about deer that got his revenge and other post about the resiliency of some deer. I started to think about other game animals/wildlife survival tales and was curious to hear stories (true of course) of other animal that refuse to give up the ghost. Here’s mine. While...

I recieved the attached photo from my brother in Or. Just had to rub it in:rolleyes:;). Taken this year.

I posted the folllowing over a year ago. Just thought I'd try again. I'm trying to find a recoil buffer (search this forum for 'recoil buffer' for a photo) for a Browning Semi-Automatic 22 cal rifle circa 1980. I've contact Browning and they stopped making them and don't have any old...

Can you guess where these photos where taken? All were taken on the same day, all in the same state, all within 20 miles (except the bison). All except with bison and antelope within 1 mile. All on or near public land open for hunting. All taken on the day of a bunny hunt. The Sheep should...

I just inherited my grandfathers Winchester Model 62A (manufacture date 1946). back in the 60's i used it to hunt squirrels in West VA with him and I loved this rifle - the most accurate open sight gun I've ever shot and the most trouble free. It is still in very good condition and I'd like to...

Through the help on the Firing Line I was able to identify my recently inherited rifle as a Spanish 1916 7mm x 57mm Mauser. This was confirmed by the prior owner. After cleaning and closely inspecting the rifle, I purchased some 7x57 rounds. I used a round to verify that it would fit (without...

I've read a number of threads dealng with removing bolts/screws coated with Loctite. Attached is a photo of a Micro Torch. I've found it to be extremely useful when one needs a very hot/very localized heat. Great for heating allen screws/bolts that have had Loctite applied. Also great for...

I'm trying to find a recoil buffer (see attached photo) for a Browning Semi-Automatic 22 cal rifle circa 1980. I've contact Browning and they stopped making them and don't have any old inventory. They referred me to two of their major service centers and no luck there either. I've made one...
