What to do while you wait for paper work? I have at least 4 more months to wait on my suppressor according to a call I made (6-8 months total) I have all ready threaded my barrel, came up with 2 different sub sonic loads and now I dont know what else to do. Waiting can be crazy. I guess I am...

I have been a big bore fan as along as I have been able to handle one. I grew up shooting a 450 marlin and a 45/70 trap door. the second rifle I bought (after the required ;) Ruger 10/22) was a 45/70 marlin GG. A few months back my brother asked my why I did not have any "big bore"...

I am a big fan of the 45/70 round. I have never shot a #1 but have shot a lot of hot marlin rounds. I am wondering how much more kick the #1 will have with the same loads as the marlin? p.s. did not see a different forum for single shots so put in the general forum.

First of all this is not for condolences. He was a fine man and lived a long and happy life. He got to see his grandchildren and a few great-grandchildren grow up. He was there when my son shot his first animal (a pheasant) What I am asking about is the gun I have that was his. It is a 401...

I am from Idaho but the area I hunt is heavily forested so a long shot is about 100-120 yards and typical shots are between 20 and 75 yards. I have been reading a few hunting forums and out there are there are people talking about getting deer at 700+ yards. To me that seems crazy. I can see...

The local business that is getting my suppressor until I can take possession of it could be getting it as early as 2 weeks from now (it is a custom build so it took some time). The guy at the shop said I can come and "see" it any time the shop is open! I am wondering if there is any reason I...

A few months ago I was at one of the few indoor ranges in my area because it was very cold out side, when I had this experience. I want to know if I handled it correctly or if I should have been more polite. I was at the local hand gun range. Shooting my BFR 45/70. The range has 7 lanes and I...

I dont plan on moving any time soon but I have been thinking about this for some reason. If some thing was to happen and I had to move while I still have a form out for federal approval what would I have to do and would it delay my forms?

So I have officially went crazy. I have sent off paper work and payed a small fortune and I have having my "Remlin" 1895SBL threaded and having a suppressor put on it. I am looking for some place to start making a load for it. I have a lot of reloading supplies. I have a Candluring (I think...

My paper work is in and my gun is due back in a few days from being threaded and having a faster twist barrel attached. but I am still looking at September (so I am told) before I will receive my suppressor because of the slow process. So the question I have is this. I plan to develop some...

I said I would update when Remington sent me the Marlin Trade in. I sent the Remington (17HMR) 597 in May 2 2010, I received my Trade in Marlin XT-17VSFL Feb 14-2012. Basically it took them 9 and 1/2 months to send me the replacement gun that they said would be shipped "soon". The New Marlin...

I have recently filled out the paper work and submitted it to the feds for my first suppressor. I am told it will be August or September before I can pick up my suppressor :(. While I have shot a few suppressed guns they where all 22lrs and could be taken apart. The suppressor I ordered is for...

I have been reloading a 45/70 for a few years now. I am now looking or making some "special" ammo. I have been loading a Hornady 500grn bullet at about 1400FPS, it requires a Candlureing (sp?) tool because the candlure is too low for a marlin and would make the bullet much to long for the...

I am looking for a suppressor for a 458 Socom that may all so end up on a 45/70 lever gun if I get feeling crazy. I am looking for some thing that is extremely quiet. I don't really care how heavy or big it is (so long a a high mounted scope can see over it) I all so don't really care how much...

here is a story my mother in-law told me about. She told me that the family was lucky that the guy had a gun on him. http://www.idahopress.com/news/passers-by-rescue-children-after-icy-river-crash/article_48b487ac-35de-11e1-87b2-001871e3ce6c.html

I am not sure it is in my budget but I am reciveing a sum of money in about a month and I am thinking about getting a 50 BMG just for fun. The thing is I do not like tactical guns. Is there any company out there that makes a 50 BMG that is not tactical looking? Like I said before I am not sure...

I have a BFR in 45/70 that I would like to get custom grips for. I would like to get a grey laminate set of grips so that it matches my Marlin 1895SBL (all so 45/70). Is there any recommendations of a place that would take on such a project?

I am going to be out of town on business starting Tuesday for a a bit over a week. I will be staying in a busy Motel. Because of the amount of people and the close quarters I am a little worried about penetration through walls. I carry a 357 magnum and I am wondering what ammo you would sujest...

I am going hunting with the in-laws on some kind of special late season hunt down in Sothern Idaho. Where I hunt it is typically forest and brush so long range shots are rare. But where I am going shots out to 250-300 yards are pretty normal. I have decided I need a range finder that can tell...

I am looking for a phone number for gunbroker.com. I recently saw a gun that I wanted to buy there so I thought I would set up an account. Well now its 2 days later and the auction is about over and they have never sent me a confirmation notice e-mail so I can make my account "official" so I...
