This past weekend I finished my AR build and finally took it to the range to sight it in. The issue I am running into is to get the rifle to zero at 25 yards with a 6 oclock hold the rear sight is bottomed out and the front sight post seems far too high. The last time I used "A2" style sights...

This thread may be premature as I am still waiting for the parts. But I am liberating an unassembled AR from my brother in Massachusetts. He bought all the parts to build an AR just weeks before the MA attorney general unilaterally decided that assembling one is now illegal. It has been sitting...

Howdy, I have a question for the S&W guru's. A co worker has a S&W model 36 no dash that's in pretty rough shape that he is selling. He told me to make him an offer but these older smiths elude me on value. It is pinned and recessed, has the newer style cyl. release. It would have to be a...

I told myself I wasn't going to buy a new gun with my tax money. Then I spotted this modified Remington 1903A3 and fell in love with it. What I really fell in love with was the Redfield Olympic sights and the stock. When I first shouldered this rifle I swear I could fall asleep on the stock...

Today I traded a shotgun that I wasn't too impressed with for a Uberti Colt walker. I have been wanting a BP pistol for a while and when I saw this monster I had to have it. I knew this was a large revolver but was still surprised by the weight when I first picked it up. now I just need...

I just came across a pistol that I have never heard of. It's a Lionheart industries LH9. Does anyone here own one or know of anyone who owns one? It is definitely a good looking pistol at a good price. If it shoots well and is reliable I might have to go look for one. Something about its...

I recently decided to sell my Stoeger uplander and was affered a trade for a Colt 1991a1. I would be adding about 200 in cash on my end but I know nearly nothing about this gun. When the owner of the colt contacted me wanting to trade for a 1911 I un-holstered my wallet so fast it flew across...

My time in Alaska will soon be coming to a close. I am going to miss hunting here... or attempting to hunt haha. I have learned a lot and am getting pretty good at small game but Large game still eludes me. I went out today with my .22 and got some squirrels for dinner. Alaska has a good...

This last week I found one of the guns I have been looking for. A 4.6" Blackhwak in .357 mag. I have been wanting another single action for a while and the blackhawk spoke to me. Classic lines with target sights and a beefy frame. In Alaska the Super Blackhawk is the most common so I have...

I recently sold some things I haven't used in years so that means I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket. I don't own a shotgun so I am going shopping soon. The only shotgun I have owned was a Mossburg 500 and it was reliable but didn't do much for me. I like the idea of a side by side...

You can't own just one. I just picked up my second Sig, a P250c in .45acp. I have been wanting an inexpensive polymer pistol to replace the glock I used to have for a bit. I liked the Glock and it I would trust it with my life but I never really liked the trigger on striker guns. I shoot...

I have a tough decision to make. I have a chance to go on a once in a lifetime hunting trip here in Alaska. I will be leaving Alaska in less than a year and have a chance to be flown into a great spot with experienced hunters. The decision I need to make is I will most likely need to sell my...

I just picked up my first SIG! It is a 1992 west German production P228 9mm. I have never owned or even shot a Sig before I bought this (still have not shot it I just picked it up. But I have to say I am impressed. I think this is the 9mm I have been waiting for. It feel rock solid, looks...

I have been meaning to pick up Mosin Nagant in some form eventually. They are so cheap and plentiful I figured why not, but I kept putting it off. Lately the prices started to climb just a tad so when I saw this laminated stock M44 I though now is as good a time as any. I paid a little more...

This past memorial day weekend I got a couple friends together and we went out in search for black bear. We didn't get a bear but came back with a squirrel, blisters, 27 miles on our boots and smiles on our faces. This was my first attempt at hunting any large game so I was not expecting to...

Today the planets finally aligned. My AR-15 is finished (build thread here) Got my hand out of a splint, and it finally stopped snowing! It was a tad muddy at the range today as you can see but the sun was shining and a great view. The first thing I learned on this trip is that a 20...

As my AR-15 build will soon be done, I had to pick up a new project. I got a bit worn but not bad shape savage 110E hunter for 225 chambered in 7mm mag. I do not know much about these rifles. I took it apart to see what I was dealing with and the trigger has some screws that look like...

Howdy, I recently started a website out of boredom and to practice my writing skills. Part of this website is writing DYI's on any project I might be working on. My first DYI is installing a wolf spring kit in my S&W model 18. Since 99.9% of the men and woman on this website know more than...

I have posted a few threads about my first attempts at hunting and am looking to broaden my horizons. I am building an AR for coyotes but that build is taking a bit of time with the current state of parts supply. The last time I was out hiking, not hunting or anything I saw a fox and noticed...

I am getting together the final pieces to my AR build and was wondering about carbon fiber free float tubes. Are they strong enough to be used on a hunting rifle? I am tempted by the weight savings and the look. This is the tube I am thinking of getting...
