    Henry Pump Action Octagon Range Report

    Sigsmoker, We make sure the area is abandoned before we shoot at any real distance. This range is private, however, and its always just us there. I will definitely bring up this safety concern in the future.

    Henry Pump Action Octagon Range Report

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0CPei0vQOI I got in some range time with a Henry Pump in 22 Magnum. Kinda funny that a lot of the people I have talked to didn't even know Henry made a pump. Its not a stellar review, but it did leave me wanting a centerfire version.

    Shooting the Fusil de Chasse

    I appreciate the kind comments. As with the originals this one only has a bead front sight I installed. Just about everything but the barrel on this fusil I made. Being a Cajun, I was excited to build and shoot this. I am no flintlock shooter but I think I finally got over my flinch. I will be...

    Shooting the Fusil de Chasse

    With help from a variety of resources to include The Fusil de Tulle in New France, I made this thing. A 20 gauge Fusil de Chasse patterned after a Tulle pattern musket of the 1740s. Everything but the barrel I made. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6EkZEJ0xZw

    Lever gun deer cartridge?

    While I am a fan of the 30-30 for any big game, Id go with the 357 Magnum round for a straightwalled case. Its low recoil and more economical to reload than the others. Factory ammo is more affordable and not loaded as light as 45 Colt. Since they are all pistol rounds 100 yards are so would be...

    Chinese Hanyang 88 8x57mm

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXpjSsyr6Jk As far as I know this is the only shooting footage of the Hanyang 88. Definitely obscure and it takes some work to shoot it safely but still worth it. The last few inches of rifling at the muzzle is totally gone but I did not counterbore or modify...
