    Correcting sights on a 1860 .44

    I have a "Centaur" "1960 New Army" .44 Centennial from Belgium. Essentially about the same as a Uberti 1860 Old Army .44. At 21 feet it shoots very hight and to the left. I'd say, left = 3 inches and up = 4 inches. It doesn't seem to matter if I shoot 22 grains of fffg Goex or 35. I use a .454...

    Remington 700, what's the consensus?

    I bought a brand new 700P just a few months ago. I have a VX1 4-12 X 40 on it and a Rock Mount bipod. Beautiful stock. Free floating heavy 26" barrel. That's it. Rifle is extremely accurate (.3 -.5 MOA with mil surp at 100yds). The bolt is tight, as in -- slightly too tough to open after a shot...

    A question for those of you who wear "reading" glasses.

    I used to need reading glasses but eventually my distance vision got soft too. So I just got "progressive" glasses. Distance at top, computer distance in the middle and reading at the bottom. It makes a world of difference with a 1911 and an 03A3 and I use it with a scope too (had to adjust the...

    Posing guns with knives

    Well, I wish hot rods were posed with knives and guns with bikini babes...if I had to vote. So then, if anyone cares to comment, what would be the ideal knives to pose with the following guns: 1. 1911 style combat 2. Stoner type rifle 3. M1-A

    Posing guns with knives

    Just wondered where this practice came from? I've seen it for years.

    Which of your guns is the most fun?

    Add me to the cap and ball list. While it's all good, I have to say my Uberti 3rd version Dragoon .44 is a load of fun and usually draws the younger folk with their Glocks, Sigs and Whatnot over to take a gander. They are always amazed how accurate it is at 100 yards. Also I have an 1861...

    Everybody now.. what's your all time favorite gun slogan?

    Well, if you've read the thread this far, then this one will make sense: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders...

    Bar-Sto is leaving California

    California is not being ruined by liberals, it is being ruined by the system of government that has evloved there that has run moderates and reason out of the picture. California is now run by grandstanding extremists at both wings and it's all vested interest not common welfare. Plus, too much...

    You know you are a GUN NUT if...

    When you can sit on the sofa watching The Wild Bunch and have with you at least 6 of the firearms shown in the movie.

    You know you are a GUN NUT if...

    When Massad Ayoob sends you the first draft of his articles for approval. When Jesse Ventura fires off his mini gun into the jungle in the movie PREDATOR and you say, "Why'd he run out? There should have been 7 rounds left!" When you actually have counted all the "phased plasma rifles in...
