    New Gun/Guitar Cabinet - Thoughts

    Yes, that is a purple cedar from the Central Oklahoma area. I am told that the red soil is what gives it the purple color, but who knows for sure. It is definitely different from the standard cedar I have seen.

    New Gun/Guitar Cabinet - Thoughts

    This is not a safe, but I am curious of thoughts on how to secure any collector guns I decide to display. I will have oak doors with some sort of glass installed later this week.

    Looking for a good light

    Lights Not what the OP wants, but great info for all members. This is without question the best light I have ever owned. Waterproof, shock proof, burns forever, does not get hot, has a strap and will not roll away when you set it down. This little device can light up hogs at 100 yards in...

    Why get a gun if you won't shoot it?

    Same reason people by: Old cars, stamps, coins, baseball cards, comic books etc... It is a hobby. I buy/sell guns because because it is "non spousable" income. I have liquidity to buy other toys without causing a fight.

    Stolen Guns (Wichita Falls, TX)

    Stolen Guns (Wichita Falls, TX)

    I Just want to make everyone aware of a stolen handgun and a few rifles in the N. Texas area. Taken from a locked truck last night along with hunting gear and clothes. Theft has been reported to the local PD. I have no expectations of getting these back, but I sure don't want any of you...

    Why are USMC vets such good shots?

    Marksmanship is a skill. I trained, I practiced and I was Qualified Rifle Expert every year with the A2. Today, I still apply the same techniques when hunting and I have never had to fire more than one shot and have only had to track one animal. PS... No way I could qual Expert today!!! Eyes...
