Two friends and I took off to a gun show this morning and gosh it was a mess ! The first thing we had to do was wait in a line that was at least several hundred feet long to get in ! Once we made it into the show, what a bunch of people...virtually elbow to elbow. I have never seen a gun...

My friend and I recently got a couple of these, and the only thing I really don't like about them is the manual safeties. I have removed the safeties from full sized M&P's with no problems, but these are a little different. Just wondering if anyone has eliminated the safety on one before and how...

I do quite a bit of hog hunting, and at one spot where I normally have at least 100 yd shots, the coons have been driving my crazy. I have a large round trap there as well, and the coons frequently trip the door on it. I occasionally trap coons, but lately I've decided to just shoot some and...

I ended up with the Colt 3" sometime back, and don't know a lot about them. As near as I can tell, it is a second series...as the grips are about 1/2 inch longer than the grip frame and there is a grove in the ejector rod. It has a serial number in the 92,000 range and I'm guessing about 1966 or...

Just a little curiosity on my part. It's my understanding that after the 1st of the year it will be against the law in Kalifornia to fire any projectiles with lead in them. I was wondering if this is the case, are muzzleloaders just out of business or possibly not considered firearms in the...

Went to a club shoot this last weekend, and they have a turkey shoot for thanksgiving every year. At 25 yds., the guy closest to the eyeball wins a turkey, and I thought I was pretty close. Another guy shooting a larger caliber took out the entire eye on his target ! Oh well, there is always the...

I recently picked up a 19x to play with, and of course the trigger needed something done with it. I got an Apex trigger and 3.5 connector and while it made the trigger pull a lot smoother and easier, it still has a ridiculously long pull before it fires. It is sort of like shooting a nice action...

Well...deer season is just a month away now, and I decided it was time to wake up Brutus and see if he was ready for action again. A very good friend of mine from California, that has since passed, gave me this rifle years ago...and it will stay with me through the remainder of my years. It is a...

Went out to my range today to check out a couple rifles that I use for hog hunting. Both AR's...one in 6.5 Grendel and one in 6.5 Creedmore. I just wanted to make sure they were still sighted in. I use the Sightmark scopes on both or them and I'm very happy with their performance, but the...

Sometimes a guy hunting by himself is a little over his head when you factor in the age part of it. I nailed this guy last night and even with my homemade outfit I made from a boat winch, it can be a little trying. I can get one half up near the taillight, but still have to lift the rear of the...

I think I need some advice on one of my safes. I have four safes full of guns, and only one of them seems to give me problems. I think it must be related to one time when I was browning a muzzleloader..which I have done numerous times over the years. After the browning, I used baking soda and...

I was out hunting the other night for hogs, and ran into a sow that would easily tip the scales at 250 lbs.. I got her broadside through the front shoulder and when working on the carcass found a lump on the off side. The bullet had lodged just under the skin after penetrating through both...

By the time I got 13 loaded up on my truck and hauled them to the area where I leave carcasses, I was already feeling like a tired old man. Then I had to remove and skin out 26 legs and removed 4 backstraps, take them home to clean up and freeze. I end up giving away most of the meat, so it...

I happened to acquire a .45 caliber Pedersoli Kentucky pistol, that was missing the brass nose cap. At this point I have not been able to find any supplier that has such a thing, and I will probably end up having to remake something from some other brand to fit it. My big question is why is...

I've been playing around with an Ar-15 lately shooting factory ammo, and decided to go ahead and reload some of the brass I've been collecting. The factory brass comes out pretty black and nasty, and I just figure that's a result of running a suppressor on the barrel...causing it to blow back...

I took a tour of the Buck knife factory the other day when I was in Idaho, and was very impressed. I had no idea they were so large and had such production capability. The tour director said when they moved to Post Falls Idaho, they used 18...18 wheelers to haul all the machinery, and they have...

Hoggin' has been a little slow for me around here lately, but this morning the pigs took pity on me and came visiting. I had 14 of the little critters to process...

I've been using a Sight Mark digital night scope for years now, with good performance and no issues. A buddy is building me a new AR in 6.5 Grendel and we are thinking maybe we need a dedicated scope for that rifle instead of swithing the one off of the 6.5 Creedmore I've been using. A local...

A good friend is putting together a 6.5 Grendel for me. I have messed around with 5.56 and 6.5 Creedmore quite a lot in the AR platform, but never Grendel. The caliber just sort of intrigues me and I thought I should maybe play with one some, as I do quite a lot of hog hunting and stuff like...

Finally got around to grinding up a couple deer legs. The wife has been bugging me for some jalapeno jerky....this bunch will get her attention.
