Per Peetzakiller's suggestion. Funny you should pick the absolute worst firearms manufacturer when it comes to documentation lexicon. It kind of proves my point in a backhanded way. However, I am willing to bet that other manufacturers use this particular malapropism. That makes it neither...

I am considering making my own leather holster. What kind of glue do professional holstr makers use to bind suede liners to the main body of the holster?

I got an email from Classic Firearms this evening. It appears that they have "Grade B" 91/30s for $99.99. C&R eligible.

The ole lady hit me up for a handgun the other day - the first time in 34 years of marriage. She hasn't shown much interest in shooting as recreation, and this caught me totally by surprise. She has a 38 Spl snubbie that she carries when she has to go rescue a girl from a pimp (our state...

I headed over to Anniston yesterday to pick up a couple more Garands before the price jump. The racks were almose bare. I describe it in detail in my blog. While I was there, I met an old timer who had actually carried a Garand in WWII. He was from Dallas. He had found a barreled receiver...

I found this article this morning and it is also being reported on Fox News. http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/29/obamas-new-executive-order-will-kill-the-110-year-old-civilian-marksmanship-program/ An EO may be overridden by Congress, but in this case, Congress would have to grow a set.

Palmetto State Armory has cosmetic blemish AR BCGs for $100. Probably won't last long. If you are in the market, these are mil spec. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/featured/5-56mm-full-auto-profile-bolt-carrier-group-cosmetic-blem-ready-for-duty.html I have no affiliation with PSA...

I was in the LGS last weekend while my wife was throwing a wedding shower at our house. Came across a gently used 455 Varmint for $350. It shoots like a house on fire with CCI SV. Curiously, it doesn't shoot any better than my 455 American, which is to say sub-half-inch at 50 yards. I...

One of my fondest hunting memories comes from a stand on Porcupine Mountain in Northeast Utah while hunting mule deer. Right before sunrise, a cow moose and two younglings worked their way up to the waterhole I was over to slake their thirst. I watched them for about 30 minutes before they...

The above quote is attributed to Kyle Lamb of Viking Tactics. I have two questions about it. 1. What tactical activities does a vfg enhance to the point where it becomes a necessity? 2. What in the world did real fighters do concerning those activities prior to the advent of the vfg? OK, I...

I was literally out in the middle of nowhere yesterday, and I ran across a Teishin Rakkasan Shyoujyu Type 2. Never seen one in this good of shape. It is now in my safe. :D It is a genuine war trophy and I got the provenance with it. All matching.

Yesterday, I found a really, really good deal on a Remington 788 in 243 Win. Now, I have no use for a rifle in 243 Win, but have always been fascinated with the 6mm Ackley. So, I was wondering, can I use a 6mm AI finishing reamer to "clean up" a 243 Win chamber for a quick conversion? Looking...

This attachment has all the CZ ring mounts that I am aware of. On my 527 Varmint, I chose the CZ branded rings.

The silly questions are the ones that are unasked. The answer to yours is YES. I would recommend getting a high quality torque screwdriver to facilitate swapping barrels. Here is one that I have shot. It is an American.

Just got back from the range with my buddy who ordered 5 of these magazines before the Newtown event. http://www.themakogroup.com/product_p/earm30%20w.htm We each put 30 rounds through each magazine for a total of 60 rounds per mag. They worked like a champ. I tried everything I know to make...

I want to scope a 9.3x62 bolt gun that I recently traded for. I intend to use this rifle for brown bear in Alaska next season, and hopefully, on a trip to Africa. I was looking for a 1x-4x scope with a 1 inch tube and a German post reticle when I ran across the Leupold 1-4x20 VX-1 Hog Scope...

I know there are some purist collectors who advocate not altering a "collectible" firearm. I am more or less in the same camp except when it comes to repairing non-working examples. However, a few years ago, I picked up a Mosin M44 for around $90 out the door at the LGS. They had a 55 gallon...

... are screwed! The next ammo (and component) shortage has started. Winchester to Deliver 200 Million 40-Cal. Rounds to Homeland Security

This is a follow up thread to the 1977 US-Mexican Arms Treaty thread. If a treaty is made with a foreign power that denies enumerated rights to US citizens: - is it enforceable? - is it legal? - does it have any meaning?

I have an opportunity to purchase a VG-Exc 9mm Destroyer Carbine. I have always been fascinated by this little bolt action. The asking price is $300. Too much? Now, I want to ask a question, and I don't need any lectures! I know that the 9mm Largo has an operating pressure of around 34K...
