Shipping USPS has flat rate boxes that are tri-angle shaped. Get one of those boxes, tape the upper to a 1X3 board slightly longer than the upper and mail it. Add extra insurance to the package.

Girl Named Hillary rcmodel, Don't worry if Hillary had been from Iowa Marion Morrison would have hung her from a tall tree with a short rope. And yes there are tall trees in Iowa. You just have to look hard to find them.

.25-06 bullet I have never seen a .25-06 that did not shoot the 117 gr BTHP well. It is a deer killing machine.

rice of Revolvers in 1920's I to have been checking on the price of revolvers in the 1920's. The revolvers in question were second or third line revolvers. Iver-Johnson sold their IV branded revolver for $4.50 and their second line revolver the US Revolver Co. models for less. I have not...

KY Laws I know of no laws against them in KY. That being said, I would not take them to Louisville or Lexington.

More Information I have been researching this as much as time allows. What little information I have found comes from "older gentlemen" who are relaying information they heard from their parents and others of the generation before. Before I post this, please be aware this is anecdotal...

Has anyone heard of an Iver Johnson Break Action .38 being given as promotion with the purchase of a 50-100 sack of flour during the 1920's - 1930's? I was told this was done, but I can find not references to it. Thanks

Drone Shooting The judge ruled in favor of the shooter. All appearances were that the drone was significantly lower than the drone operator/owner claimed. The judge believed the shooter that the drone was "spying" on his daughters and he responded. That does not mean drones are fair game...

shooting shack I too would vote for a concrete slab with the support posts cast in the floor. Even a sturdy wood floor will have some vibration in it if someone walks across it when you are shooting. Not a problem for close shots, but it can be a real issue for long range. Since you are...

The gun shop guy was full of BS. A UPIN will process very quickly. The UPIN is a unique number to distinguish you from every other person in the US with a name similar to yours. If your record is clean, you get the number and you are good to go.

My gunsmith tells me he sees 2-3 Berettas for every Browning brought in for repair.

Youth .22 I don't dislike the cricket, I hate the Cricket! If you want an excellent youth model .22, look at the Savage Rascal. It is roughly $150-175 with a composition stock and $50 higher with a wood stock. It has a true safety, good sights, and scope mounts can be purchased for it. It...

SD firearms for a 20 years old are real issue. I would not even consider a handgun. Most if not all states require you to be 21 years of age to CCW.. By al means begin teaching your daughter about handguns and handgun marksmanship, but wait until she is over 21 to get her a handgun. As...

For a J Frame I use 110 JHP's, for a K or L Frame I use 125 JHP's , and for an N Frame I use 158 JHP's. Yes, I use all 3 frame sizes. I carry a J, keep a L in the truck and car, and use an N for a night stand gun. That may not work for everyone, but it does for me.

If you ant to paint it, get a can of Ceramacote (sp?) from Brownell's. It is a black finish that is hard and durable. You will have to completely disassemble the gun and bake the finish on in an oven at low temperature.
