    Sooo...

    When is TFL going to merge with THR? They're clearly running on the same database. It strikes me as time to combine your services and make it easier for everyone.

    Laser boresighter

    I tried out my laser boresighter today in the .357 Magnum Marlin 1894C, and I'm glad I did. The factory settings on the scope weren't anywhere near close. The longest I could sight here in the house was ~40'. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/SCP800-1125-1438.html I've got the windage set...

    Flying with a gun

    I queried Continental Airlines re: taking a rifle with me. These are their regulations. I just thought I'd share. Firearms Continental accepts one item of shooting equipment per customer in lieu of one piece of free baggage. One item of shooting equipment is defined as one hard-sided shooting...

    Advice welcome re: Flying with gun

    I'm contemplating visiting my cousin in New Hampshire, taking one of my rifles with me. I have a hard-sided case with a padlock on it, and I will NOT be taking any ammo. I can always buy that there. How many hoops will I have to jump through to clear it for flying? I've never flown with a...

    Powder volume

    This may or may not be of help, but I'll send it anyway. Your best bet is a good reloading manual.

    Tasco scope

    I got my new Tasco scope (3-9 x 32) for the Marlin 1894 today, and I'm fairly impressed with it so far. I haven't gotten the correct scope base yet, so it hasn't been to the range, but for 25 bucks, the quality is better than I expected. Frankly, it looks nicer than the Weatherby scope that...

    Any advice about a gunsafe?

    I've been thinking about getting one (probably a Browning), but they're not cheap (around $2k) and weigh about a half ton, meaning it would have to go into the garage. My garage has plenty of room for it, but it can get quite cold here in Ohio in the winter and quite warm in the summer. Would...

    Browning T-bolt .22

    I see that Browning reintroduced the t-bolt (although I think made by another company), but I've always found them intriguing. I've never shot one, but wonder if anyone here has any experience with them, particularly the new ones. Many thanks, Skeeter

    High Standard DM101 grips

    I have a question that I hope someone can answer for me. I have a High Standard DM101 derringer (ca. 1962), but I don't like the original white plastic grips and would prefer to replace them with hardwood grips. I've searched around, and so far have come up empty. Does anyone have a...

    Which forum do you prefer

    In the past couple of week, I've noticed that the rifle forum seems to be generating the most listeners. I wouldn't have expected that. I would have thought one of the handgun forums would have attracted more traffic. Where do you hang out, and why?

    Do you have a "dream gun?"

    Since I was a little kid, I always wanted a Winchester Model 21 "Grand American." I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one, but as I once heard, "if you're going to dream, dream big!"

    Have you ever shot at someone?

    There's been a lot of discussion here as "what's the best defense gun", and "what's the best defensive load" that I can't help but ask, have you (outside of law enforcement) ever pointed a loaded gun at someone, and for that matter, pulled the trigger? In my 53 years, I never have. Yes, I keep...

    Luger specialists?

    My local gunshop has a .30 cal. Luger, I'd say 90%, for $1300. I've always liked Lugers, but would prefer a 9MM. Would I just be blowing my money away on this one? Thanks for any advice.

    Marlin 1894C

    Thanks in part to your support, I'm now the proud owner of a Marlin 1894C to compliment my .38 Special Smith. I'm sure I'll be up half the night polishing her up. I've decided to leave her "naked" (i.e. no scope). I called the gun shop this morning, and they had one in stock. If you've...

    .38 Special longarm companion

    I love my little .38 Special Smith, and have been thinking about getting a Marlin 1894C to go along with it. Does anyone have any opinions (good or bad) about it? Thank you.
