My wife has been wanting to paint the 22 pistol I gave her a purple color. That would be the decoration side of the OP. I saw somewhere the drop in inches for a particular load on the stock of a gun before. I do have a shotgun that was my grandfather's which will probably be put into a shadow...

there are several ranges near the house and unfortunately there are several rules that irritate me. I usually drive past the annoying ranges to the one I frequent, but that's life. Irritating rules include everything from no picking up brass to lever and bolt action guns must be single shot and...

I love my 22's I just want a lever action and a da/sa revolver and Ill have in my mind a complete collection. I have one or more of each: sa 22lr 22mag 22 auto loader bolt action single shot bolt action magazine fed semi auto tube fed semi auto removable mag single shot pistol pump action tube...

hibben makes some nice knives and hatches, also look at cold steel. I see your in southern KY if you travel down to pigeon forge check out Smokey Mountain Knife Works they have quite a selection on throwing items.

only if you have gander bucks built up from the credit card.

I'll beat everyone to the usual replies: Spend it on ammo and get better with what you have. Sell what you have to me then buy what you want. Why not buy both.... Now that the usual fluff it out of the way... 1911 vs AR. This caught my attention. I have both. The AR gets alot more use because I...

I have only paid the extra at one gun store. It was too good a deal to pass up. They charged me the 3% which was less than the gas it would have taken me to drive to the nearest ATM of my bank and pull the cash needed. Most places that do the 3% are mom and pop places that don't do very much...

I won't be able to shoot till next month. local watershed that the range is at is closed for hunting season right now. I had this target before from a free site so this seems like it will be fun. I'll have to give it a shot (pun intended)

We (as gun owners, shooters, hunters, etc.) seem to have become the minority in today's world. It is always important to invite those willing to learn to enjoy with us. You changed people. I try to do this with everyone at work and other social places. I have helped people with their fears. I've...

Dad bought evidence guns that were auctioned off when people didn't claim the gun. The guns were in bad shape. Evidence tape could be described as plastic with superglue backing. I have heard that most people should just write off a gun used in a SD situation. I would venture to say it depends...

Ok this thread made me curious so I dug the AR out and tried a couple of different things. Tried charging when standing, with rifle shouldered and/or prone, also have a scope that i tossed on just to see interference. I saw the argument for oversized and mil spec handles so I did both here's...

simple answer is that the 62gr bullets seem to be more stable in my AR. But for fun lets do some math.... If this helps there are common formulas used to compare loads: foot lbs pressure exerted which is velocity x velocity x bullet weight in gr divided by 450240 will result in ftlb and taylor...

I bought and made the custom ear plugs. BTW be prepared to pluck hairs on the removal step. over these I use electronic muffs. I like this set up because the electronic muff just amplify the conversations from people at the range. I really like this set up in indoor ranges because of how jumpy I...

Hopefully some people from the monthly rimfire competition will chime in, but for now this I can say. Wolf, cci green tag, peter's performance (I don't even know if peter's is still around), and eley (purple box with yellow stripe. ran out last trip) work well. 40 gr lead round nose. Stay away...

Here's what I've come up with for my system. Long term storage: I know I'll only take it out to fondle maybe once in a decade to shoot. My grandfather's shotgun is an example of this. The gun is oiled and stored in a storage bag I bought that is a copper color. It is a plastic cloth like...
