Last night I made plans to go in the morning to shoot my new revolver. As I laid in bed, I turned the TV on to Spike TV. They were showing a program called "1000 ways to Die," and it showed the story of one man who put an excessive black powder overload on a flintlock pistol, only to have it...

I can't wait to see the reaction of the plastic brick shooters at the range when I pull this baby out tomorrow and make some smoke clouds.:D:D

1851 Colt Navy revolver

Thank you all for your advise in the other thread. I went ahead and bought myself a Pietta 1851 Colt Navy Revolver. What a beautiful revolver this is, I can't wait to shoot it this weekend. My only complaint is the cosmoline, which I need to remove tonight before I go to bed. A quick question...

MODERATOR: I just noticed the black powder forum. If you deem it appropriate please move my post to that forum, Thanks It all started two days ago when I accidentally stumbled into the Uberti website. I've been doing research since and I have a few questions from black powder revolver owners...

I was finishing the refurbishment of a project rifle I bought lately, a formerly beat up $60 Mosin Nagant. I had the stock redone to look as good as it would have looked when it was new, but I had a huge problem. I had some rust on the barrel removed, which exposed part of the barrel with no...

I know a lot of you are of the idea that revolvers don't appeal to the younger generation, are are thus disappearing. I don't think so! Yes, you won't see no Model 686 or a Ruger Vaquero in a rap video any time soon, but judging by the healthy sales of revolvers, I don't think they are a dying...

I have a confession to make....a few years ago I had several revolvers, and I sold them all so I could buy semi-auto plastic bricks to be like everyone else. However, I kept one, a S&W 642 Talo Delux model. The fact is that no matter how many plastic bricks I bought, I always felt empty and...

I was watching an episode of the show "Beyong Scared Straight," a show in A&E about delinquent youths who participate in programs where they go for a day to prison to see what prison is really like, and in this particular episode a delinquent youth was filmed before his prison experience with...

Disclaimer: I do not want this thread to turn into a Glock bashing thread. This is a serious question. I have noticed at the two gun stores near my house that whenever a customer walks in to buy their first gun, or a CCW, or a home defense gun, the shop assistants always automatically say "Let...

As most of you know from my previous thread, I became a shotgun owner last week when a friend sold me his almost-new Remington 870 Express. I took it skeet shooting with another friend today and when he saw the shotgun he said "That's a modified choke on your shotgun. You need an improved...

I was browsing one of my local gun stores today and happened to notice a worrying trend for an old-fashioned shooter like me. It seems like a lot of modern bolt-action rifles and some semi-automatic rifles don't have iron sights. I had never really noticed this since I am into military surplus...

Right now chances are that if you need to defend yourself/another with deadly force, you and the bad guy are probably the only ones with deadly weapons (this might be more true in some parts of the country than others). However, as the popularity of concealed carry increases, and more people arm...

I was shopping for supplies for my new shotgun today at a local dealership when a man walked through the door and explained to the gun dealer that he had a restraining order issued 18 years before when his wife divorced him, and that the restraining order had expired many years ago, but other...

I just bought a Remington Express Magnum with a 30 inch barrel from a friend for $225 USD. The shotgun is literally brand new, he has only put 125 shells through it in 5 occasions that he took it trap shooting, and decided to sell it to buy a semi-automatic Remington. I have never owned a...

After reading countless threads on the Mosin Nagant, I decided I had to have one. I have never owned a bolt action rifle (only semiautomatics) and have never fired a rifle that's over seven decades old. I was not sure what to expect. FIRST IMPRESSIONS It's big...the rifle stretches on for...

I just started hunting and recreational shooting about 4 months ago. I also got my concealed permit and some pistols. (but that's a post for a different thread) Here is my very humble collection of rifles. As you can see, I have a passion for Russian-inspired rifles. I'm not a technical person...
