    '73 or '92.

    Well... the thread title simply states "'73 or '92" as in "pick one"... so for me, it's the '92. I'm not a cowboy action shooter, so I have no need to shoot super fast in a competitive environment. Both my centerfire lever guns are '92s (one each .357 & .44 mag) and my .22lr lever a 94/22. I...

    A '73 Lever Action in.....9mm? Interesting!

    I see the appeal of cheap plinking with 9mm ammo... but in a two thousand dollar rifle... where is the savings? It's not like the longer barrel will gain you anything with 9mm the way it does with .357 or .44 mag.

    Scope Height vs. Cheek Weld ?

    Running into the same problem with a CZ 527 I picked up not long ago. They have a screwy ring set-up, and a rather high bolt throw, making matters worse. I got a factory CZ Picatinny rail thinking as it's factory it would solve the problem, but it was too high even with low rings. Had my...

    "Upgrades" to a Savage Axis (not an Axis II)

    I had a Nikon M-Tactical .308 4-16X42SF on it. Good scope for the money, and it works well with the Nikon "Spot on" app. Not sure what my son has on it now, but it's a Vortex of some sort.

    "Upgrades" to a Savage Axis (not an Axis II)

    I got an Axis in .308 10 years ago. My son has it now. Mine was the crappy one with the plastic stock, so I had to throw it in a Boyd's stock. Back then there were articles online about doing an at home bubba style trigger job by simply cutting one coil off the trigger spring. I did it, and sure...

    To red dot or not to red dot...

    I have a red dot on 1 handgun, and it's nice, of course I'm new to the pistol dot thing, and training is an issue. I'm more of a red dot on rifles guy... but on those rifles... especially defensive weapons... I'm 100% sold. Used them on my last couple deployments, and the shear speed of target...

    Best 9mm 1911?

    Best one I ever had was a Dan Wesson Guardian. Kinda wish I still did.

    Opinions on the perfect nightstand handgun.

    I keep this on my nightstand. If some pesky animal needs to be dispatched in the middle of the night... no need to wake everybody up doing it. Then again, I also have this leaning up against my nightstand. Not a hand gun... but much better at dealing with the other kinds of pesky "animals"...

    Convicted For Building Guns; Judge says, “Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom”

    I'm no legal mind, and I'm not even sure I have this in the right place, (please move thread if needed) but I'd like to know how the hell this kind of crap can fly in an open court of law...

    Why Do You Carry A Gun?

    I've gotten tired of trying, so I'm kind of an ass if anybody askes me that now. I'm likely to spout off with some smart-ass remark like... "If you have to ask me that... no matter what I say... you ain't gonna understand it, or agree with it... so just don't worry about it."

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    Given today's leftist leaning society (in general... I know nothing about his state) He may have ended up in court anyhow, (like Rittenhouse) but I'll agree that this would have been the best all-around outcome. I'm sure whoever he helped would testify on his behalf... Although were he to...

    Is It Time To Stockpile Ammo?

    It is always the time to buy more ammo. It stores well, keeps it's value, and is looking more and more like it may be needed here before too long, yet become unavailable to buy.

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    I saw this video before on another forum, and had hoped the good guy had lived to testify in court. Sad to hear my hopes did not pan out. I'd much rather a happy ending with a dead bad guy... but such is life so often. Keep in mind, we do NOT have the start of the incident on film, so we do...
