Made an unplanned and spontaneous visit to a local National Park yesterday and as I pulled into the parking lot, I wondered about the concealed pistol i am licensed to carry and was at the time. As luck would have it, two rangers were standing nearby and after securing the gun in the car, I...

I recently watched a half hour of men's and women's Olympics skeet matches. What I wonder about is there seemed to be almost no recoil when firing what looked like 12 gauge over and unders-- most conventional looking, one with a recoil pad that was raised an inch or two. The shooters were...

I'm trying to make safe about two dozen very old 30/06 and 30-30 reloads that variously developed green scrunge/corrosion on the sidewalls, base and some primers after sitting in the garage for 30+ years. I'm guessing the bacteria from my hands that transferred to them during reloading led to...

When I login, read a forum and mark it as READ using device A then log out-- if I login later with device B using the same credentials, it still shows as UNREAD. Any way go get READ status to sync?

Why is a shotgun the required firearm for turkey hunting in so many states? Seems to me a scoped .22 rimfire or .22 mag would drop him cleanly without putting a bunch of tooth-chipping pellets into your dinner...

There’s nothing quite as beautiful-- and satisfying to hold, handle and shoot--as a highly polished blued steel S&W K frame or comparable Colt revolver; even a slick 1911, High Power or pre-war Luger semi-auto. Mechanical works of art all; a joy to admire and exercise the smooth actions. Now...

I'm switching from 3F black powder to Pyrodex P in my stainless 7½ inch Ruger Old Army. Anything I need to do differently?

I'm going to load up some Sierra cannelured 170 grain FN for plinking with my 70's vintage model Winchester 94-- 20" barrel. The only powders I have available are W 748, IMR 4895 and H 4895. Got a favorite powder/charge in there?

Got a one pound steel can of 3F black powder that's about full and in good condition. It's been sitting untouched in the garage for about 35 years and the lid is too tight to screw off by hand. Wondering if it's OK to use slip joint pliers to loosen it...and if any special precautions are...

I was cleaning out some garage shelves and found an old box of Sierra bullets--at least 30+ years old. The stock number printed on the box is 2010 along with ".30 Cal, .307 Diameter, 170 gr Flat Nose 30-30". The jacketed bullets have an exposed lead tip, are cannalured and have a flat base...

Back maybe 30 years ago, I was a very active handgun hobbyist-- shooting, reloading, bullet casting, buy/sell/trade, kitchen table gunsmithing, etc. Then I got out of the "gun business" until just a few months ago when my interest was rekindled. It's been a real eye opener seeing current gun...

I usually clean my center fire rifles after every use-- but am not sure what to do with a 10/22. How often do most folks clean this or other semi-auto rimfires?

Subject says it all. TFL login user ID and password retain fine on Mac desktop- but neither do on iPad or Android tablet and cell phone. Other site logins keep fine on the mobile devices.

Was driving west on I-20 across Alabama this past Saturday and thought I'd check out the CMP South store in Anniston and the Talladega Marksmanship Park. The store is only open Thursday thru Saturday and I didn't have any trouble finding it as it's just off the interstate in Anniston. Bummed...

There's clear societal benefit to preventing individuals who are likely to misuse firearms from owning one. That's why a first-time gun buyer needs to clear all those qualification hurdles. But what benefit is there to investigating a person for his second or subsequent purchase? If he was...

Reading various threads in this forum, folks have definite opinions and preferences on the desirability of striker-fired vs. hammer-fired pistols, especially with respect to how they’re carried. I haven’t done an actual count but my impression is there’s a lean toward hammer-fired. You have...

How does you progress from a Junior Member to a Member to a Senior Member?

My wife no longer has the hand strength for a one handed DA trigger pull on her EDC S&W Model 37 lightweight nickel plated two inch 38 Spl J frame revolver. It's in primo unmodified condition- despite her carrying it daily since I purchased it new 40 years ago. And it doesn't have more than a...
