Another Scope Mount Option Another good option if you can find one is a mount that was sold by Brownells under the part number 100-000-319 it was quick detachable and did not require you to drill or tap your rifle it was simple to mount and install and you could quickly remove your scope by...

Knife choices Check out a Bark River Knife & Tools Bravo II and Smoke Jumper and the 2009 Bowie Knives they all come with a no BS lifetime warranty. Bark River knives for the most part use a convex edge which is easy to sharpen without special tools. Many handle material choices to choose...

Quality matters! I would take the Cadillac over the KIA, I mean Smith & Wesson over the Taurus any day.:neener: Saving money is one thing saving time frustration and grief is another go with the best and forget about the rest after all Smith & Wesson did invent both the platform and the...

FWIW this is one of the better forums even with the few who don't always act high road from time to time on it that or the quick thread locks before all opinions can be expressed. Everyone can contribute or add or bring something to the table sometimes posts may teach or educate someone more...

Nothing wrong with the quality of Russian firearms they build solid ones that work both civilian and military models. The wood may not always be fancy grade Walnut and the stock may not fit like a nice hand made custom rifle or shotgun but they do not build crappy guns just the opposite IMO...

This is something I have seen more than a few times, either an elderly person on his own brings a bundle of older guns into a shop and gets at best 50 cents on the dollar of what they are worth money wise. Many times it is a wife or the kids or grandkids that are there to "help" him sell off...

Pepper spray works better from what I have seen than mace.

Dried Eel Squid Octopus Lutefisk Squirrel Ox Moose Buffalo Reindeer Shark Frog legs and I even once survived trying out a Haggis :barf:

Federal Hi Shock 180 grain JHPs seem to do well as they are going over 2100 fps in most carbines. The 240 grainers tend to penetrate more from what I have seen that is great for hunting but not always the case for other purposes IMO.;)

As a faithful follower of brother John Moses Browning and his inspired designs count me in.:evil: For those who get the chance if you ever are in Ogden Utah go check out the Browning Arms Museum it is in the old Union Pacific Station also houses the Union Pacific Museum and it also contains a...

Federal or Remington is what I have found to work the best.
