I do plan to buy a practical one soon though. thank you for the helpful...

    Sword Issues

    I have a reasonable collection of swords and they all have required next to no maintinence. All except for my gladius. It has a wooden hilt and just a plain steel blade. It tarnishes like nothing I've ever seen before. I made the mistake of assuming it was stainless without looking and now it...

    Little box of horrors

    Which Rifle For Coyote?

    I think that a lighter caliber varmint rifle is the way to go, .223 is a good place to consider, i think so at least. you might even try an SKS. I hope to go coyote hunting with an SKS as soon as I can get ahold of one :)

We had more lite strikes than we could keep track of, failures to extract, failures to eject, stove pipes, bad primers, and every other problem you...

    Which .22 for competition?

    I've finally decided on buying a .22 lr. I just don't know which one. I'd like to buy a rifle that's relatively common, for around 100 to 170$, That has iron sights and is ready for a scope. I will be using it to compete with a Savagearms .223 from 25 to 100 yards and I will also try to use it...
