    Looks like DPMS, Bushmaster and TAPCO may be shut down.

    Sorry, I don't miss them. Even Remington could die and I would not cry. I have Remmy's and I like them, but all are "historic" :D

    .243 open sights wood stock

    243 has been kicking around for a long time. Any cabela's should have a decent selection of nice used ones. There is almost always one at our LGS's in lightly used condition. I dunno why, but when folks are thinning the pile in the safe, the 243 seems to be one to go on the sale pile. It's a...

    1917 Eddystone already side-drilled & tapped: best mount?

    I have an Eddystone that someone fubared the top rear of the receiver. So it got passed down to me. I used one Weaver Remington 30 base on the top of the front with the existing holes and some JB Weld to make it secure. Then I installed Tasco 2000 micro red-dot. It's a great combo for less...

    Fact or fiction?

    There may be other ways to get near accuracy desired ... Shifting POI is to spooky for me. You'd have to have a pressure point table taped to the stock for each bullet weight and powder charge. Then be able to apply just that pressure. Maybe with a sliding strain gauge ... But I like to...

    The sound of gunshot

    As long as there are no laws or zoning rules agianst, I say go ahead. But, I live in Cali - maybe the most restrictive place around (outside of Cook County and NYC), I live in the County. Across the street from me a retired LEO plays with black powder. SO neighbors are used to gun shots...

    What a FFL dealer told me about the buying tendencies of older shooters...

    I'm into Social Security now, so gettin up there. It's always been cyclical with me. Something in the back of my mind gets unsettled and I think about a new spear. 9-11 did it last time. Upped my inventory by a few pieces. Recently something has been tickling my nervous bones again. So I...

    Here is an easy question: What is the prettiest gun for you to look at?

    Hand gun => Blued Colt Python with 6" barrel and nice cocobolo target grips :) Long gun => Older Marlin 336 Stainless with medium figured walnut furniture in deep matte :D I don't own either one, but still pleasing to the eye. Maybe someday ...

    Old Firearm Projects in Limbo

    I have a few I'm tinkering on. An Arisaka 7.7 that needs a new barrel (on hand), and a "Cracked Eddy" Eddystone pattern 1917 that was bubba'd and needs some love. I need to dismount the shot out barrel, drill the crack and TIG it, mount up my spare barrel, and install in a used Bishop stock...
