    Blue Wonder Gun Cleaner?

    I ran across a thread here a few weeks back recommending this product. It got me interested and I see that Cabela's carries it which is a plus for me. Is this stuff safe if it gets on the plastic on the gun? I would like to use it on my M&P 15-22 but that gun is hard to clean without getting...

    S&W M&P 15-22

    The new toy. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but can't wait. I went to look at the Ruger SR-22 and ended up with this. I liked the feel better than the SR-22 and the Colt.

    How long will deer meat keep?

    Tonight was the last night of the hunt here in Utah. Wife shot a deer as the sun was going down. There was no question whether it was hit or not. We saw it drop and roll down the hill. It was about 200 yards. Temperature was approximately 40 degrees give or take a few degrees. Temperature for...

    Success - Mule Deer

    The deer numbers are low this year in Utah. Our heavy snow from 2 winters ago is being blamed. I was glad to get this mule deer this morning.

    Question on Triple 7 Loose Powder

    I was thinking of giving Triple 7 a try in my Knight inline. I have been using Pyrodex. I always use the loose powder and use 80 grains. If I switch to Triple 7 would I use 68 grains then? Am I figuring that right? Is that the equivalent of 80 grains of Pyrodex?

    My first wheelgun.....

    Please if you are here to bash Taurus save your comments for another thread. I am and always have been a fan of Taurus guns. I finally did it. After owning 16 semi-autos I broke down and bought a revolver. I have been wanting to try one for a long while now and couldn't pass up the price on...

    Anyone else have this problem buying a gun?

    I currently own over 16 guns. The only revolver I own is a 1858 Remington black powder. Everything else is semi-auto. This left me wanting a revolver and I finally decided to pull the trigger on buying one. So off to the gun store I go. The problem is when I got there I started looking at more...

    The New Toy (High Standard)

    This gun buying is getting out of control, but I just can't help myself. I have been wanting to add a High Standard to my .22 collection. I found this one at Cabelas and couldn't resist.

    Finally got to shoot my new Knight

    I finally made it to the range today to shoot the Knight Wolverine. I bought this gun for $110 brand new which I thought was a good deal. I am using SST sabots and Pyrodex RS. I started with 80gr of powder and was 1 inch high at 50 yards which is right where I wanted to be. Gun was very...

    My new Ruger .22

    I added a Ruger .22 Standard to the collection. I believe that is what it is called anyhow. Looks like a MK I, but doesn't say MK I on it. The serial number indicates it was manufactured in 1972. I love the resemblance of the Luger pistol and have wanted one of these for a bit. I paid $240 for...

    Where can I buy real black powder...

    I have used only Pyrodex the entire time I have been shooting muzzleloaders. I want to try real black powder. Cabelas doesn't sell it and track of the wolf only sells it 25 cans at a time. Where can I get some and what should I start off with?

    New 1858 Pietta .44

    I finally got out and shot my 1858 I picked up over a month ago. I was shooting 30g of powder with .454 round balls and it shoots dead on at 15 yards. It is much more accurate than my 1851 Pietta that shoots high. I paid $170 at Cabelas and I think it is well worth the money. Very good gun for...

    CVA 1851 .31 Steel Frame

    Edit: Meant to say it is a .36 caliber, not a .31. Is this worth $100 or does it look like it's got too much rust on it? I was thinking of adding it to the collection. I am not a fan of CVA rifles and didn't even know they made revolvers. But for $100 I am thinking about it.

    Good Nipple Wrench?

    I need a decent nipple wrench that will work on a Pietta 1851 and a Pietta 1858. Most of the ones I read about on Cabela's had bad reviews. Can anyone recommend a decent one that will work on both guns without stripping the nipples?

    Another new toy......

    .....I can't help it, I keep buying guns. Is there a GA or guns anonymous? Anyhow, I have been looking at one of these for a few years and decided to pull the trigger (pun intended) on one. Norinco 9mm 213. But what I really like about it is the box it came in, looks like it was made for a...

    My new toy.....

    .....so here's the deal. I went to Cabela's about 5-6 days ago to pick up an 1858 for $219. I thought that was a good deal but they didn't have any in stock. :( Then I saw the coupon book was selling the same gun for $50 off starting today. Imagine the disappointment when I figured they didn't...

    I am officially hooked.....

    .....today I took out the 1851 for the first time. I kept the loads at 22 grains using .454 round balls. The gun does shoot high as many have said. I used pistol wads and found bore butter will not work to cover the cylinders as it melts and is useless. One thing that I found surprising was the...
