I was out hunting chukar today and came upon a horse. He was gorgeous, and looked groomed. He kept a measured distance from me and my dog, and snorted at us, but he was acting more like a dog that doesn't want you to catch him than like a feral animal that's afraid. This was on semi-remote...

With the Dove season opener on a Wednesday, I couldn't find anyone who wanted to shoot doves more than they needed to make money today. I normally don't work Wednesdays. So, without friends, I didn't want to do that set-up-and-sit deal at o-dark-thirty. Friends are what makes that worthwhile. I...

Please don't get this thread locked. I don't want to start a discussion of illegal immigration, or anything directly related to it. It's easy enough to turn on the AM radio.:) This is a long question, but I want it to be complete. Please correct my assumptions, too. As I understand it, Arizona...

The 7th Circuit upheld the law that prohibits felons from possessing firearms, in the specific case of US vs. Williams. http://sentencing.typepad.com/sentencing_law_and_policy/2010/08/seventh-circuit-rejects-asapplied-second-amendment-challenge-to-922g1-but-suggests-a-nonviolent-felo.html...

We were hiking around in the Challis National Forest, near a lake, when we flushed out some birds that were on the ground, hiding in low vegetation. They flushed and flew like most game birds, and for all I could tell, they looked like woodcocks. I didn't think there were any within 1000...

That strange noise? It's the Overton Window shifting... This is about seizure of property without due process of law, as much as about guns, and it is good news on both counts. The involvement of the Florida ACLU is heartening...

So, the NRA won't come out against Kagan, will they? http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2010/07/01/nra-kagan-should-not-serve-on-any-court/ Sounds to me like RedState, GOA, and/or whoever else has been spreading BS, might just be the ones who are full of crap... This feels just like the Bush years...

What is a coin finish on a receiver? Do you know what metals are used, how they're applied, and how durable this finish is?

I've got my eye on a SxS game gun, to use, not to buy and look at. It's currently fixed, a tight Full and Modified, which is not ideal for what I want. However, simply having it reamed to IC/M isn't exactly ideal, either, since I'd like the option to use SK/IC for steel shot, and SK/SK for...

The local Cabela's has always had a sign that said, "All firearms must be checked in at the front desk." Now all of us who routinely CC just ignored this sign and carried. I always figured that it didn't mean CC guns anyway, but the sign didn't say that. As of this week, there are full-color...

There's certainly a good argument to be made that convicted violent criminals shouldn't be allowed to go and buy guns. But that's not what I want to start here, again... This is an example of what a "felony" can be in 2010 America. This is why I do not believe that RKBA should be...

Does anyone know anything about these? I borrorwed a Sharps replica for buffalo hunting, and I'd like to own one. The $699/799 prices of what CDNN has are attractive, but I don't know who made them or how well.

A lot of people ask about what firearm to carry for protection against the world's largest bears. But what about the world's smallest bears? What about them? They look like they're some ferocious beasts. I'll bet if you were eating buttermilk biscuits covered in honey, these bears would steal...

I just got an e-mail notification that my subscription will someday expire.:p But just this morning I was looking at the latest one, and I was thinking I might not bother with it any more. I just don't CARE about .22LR AR lookalikes. I put together a .22 AR before any of them were introduced...

I just bought a pigeon trap, a cage with one-way doors. I want to catch a few pigeons at a time to use for steadying my dog, training a friend's pup, etc. Has anyone done this? Do you have an recommendations for when, where, and how? Bait? Time of day? How long to leave the trap...

I'm thinking Webley-Fosbery Self-Cocking Automatic Revolver, a specially-made Ultradot with a polished brass tube on top, and a carbide miner's lamp under the barrel. Thoughts?:D

There is no duty to inform, here. However, the state makes good use of modern technology. Fish and Game can swipe my driver's license and tell whether I have an elk tag for the coming season, and a cop can tell if I have a CWL. So, at a traffic stop, a cop will know about my CWL. What...

Are there good places to look, e.g. specialty tool stores, commercially-oriented auto supply, etc.? If it's not at local gun shops, should I just order it?

It's all original, with the steel buttplate and all. Rear sight is missing, has a one-piece scope mount with an old Weaver variable that has an eyepiece shaped like an old TV screen. Honest wear, much of the bluing is rubbed bare, but it's shiny and I don't recall seeing any rust. AFAIK it...

Does anyone have a WM 390 that they've weighed?
