    Help on Gun Safe Decisions?

    I bought a Canon 48 long gun safe with shelves on top for storage for hand guns or other small items. Although it is a secure safe and weighs 800 bs plus empty, I have three issues with it. 1st The shelving is cheap press board material. 2nd the spacing between guns are so close you won't be...

    BSA Sweet scopes good or bad

    I bought a brand spanking new BSA scope and the coating was coming off the housing. I contacted a factory rep and I was instructed to send it in for a replacement along with $20.00 to ship it back. Can't be too much of a scope if the company wants you to pay twice for shipping for a defective...

    Will Ammo Prices Ever Fall?

    Supply & demand = greed! There is no sense of fair play in this country when it comes to green backs. With "Boy Wonder" now on Capitol Hill, you can look forward to exaserbated taxation on anything firearm related. Don't forget, the Democrats are setting this country up for socialism and rule us...

    The Marlin 39 Club

    I bought a "Golden 39A in 1963 shortly after getting married (Murdered) and topped it with a Tasco 4 X 40 mm scope. I've shot enough squirrels with that puppy you could fill a pick up truck bed. I waxed the wood down with Johnsons floor wax and put a leather sling on it. I've said many times...

    Recommend me a tumbler......

    I've had my Thumbler Tumbler since the mid 70's and so far so good. I'm sure it's out dated, but it has lasted and does the job. I was thumbing through Cabela's sale flier and saw one just like the one I have. When I saw the price, I headed to the bathroom for some TP for a clear up job. They're...

    Learn from my mistake! Damaged SP101

    That took a lot of courage to come forward with your mistake. I too over charged a 45 acp case and found my err during a bullseye match (timed fire when it happened). The range officer laughed and stated that he thought I slipped in a hard ball round in just for kicks. Fortunetly, I load powder...

    need help for 45acp cast bullet recipe

    Tiny! What kind of competition are you shooting in? Conventional Bullseye, bowling pin sweep, Banchi Cup, PPC, etc? I shot bullseye competion in the 70's and 80's (Camp Perry) but haven't shot competition much since then. I shot a 200 gr cast bullet I had custom built by H&G molds (now out of...

    Why not a Wal-Mart $114 muzzle loader?

    Muzzleloader safety I would refrain from buying any CVA muzzleloader. They are an import and do not pass my standard for safety, or proof pressure testings. If you value your face and care not to have your digits blown off, I'd steer clear of their inferior firearms. I speak not only from...

    NEW line of Scopes - OSPREY INTERNATIONAL

    I put the V-42 scope to the test yesterday (in field test) and it failed miserably! It was near dark with snow on the ground. The light grabbing abilities were equal to that of Weaver B-4 scope. It is not practical for much of anything especially tactial use. My best advise is spent your money...

    NEW line of Scopes - OSPREY INTERNATIONAL

    New Scope I bought one of those 12 x 40 x 50mm scopes. The package was missing one allen hex wrench and the owners instruction manual/warranty. I called the rep 4 times and finally made contact. They have yet to ship me the tool, owners manual and warranty. The objective lens is not a true...
