    Custom 1911 grips......

    Basically I believe that just because someone owns a gun and supports our gun rights that they deserve to have something unique without paying the huge prices some other companies charge.

    Custom 1911 grips......

    Thanks for the advise ill be looking into black cherry burl, black walnut, butternut, butternut, and ironwood. A friend just ricin memes zebra as well.

    Custom 1911 grips......

    Keep in mind that I am only one person. I am the only person that will create/touch these grips and making the perfect set can take time. Currently I have only made a couple sets for my own use out of cedar which is softer than most companies would like to use. I see it that even though it is a...

    Custom 1911 grips......

    So it's been quite a while since I have been on here, and I'm coming back to say that I will be starting the processes to make custom grips for most if not all guns. I have noticed the extraordinary amount of custom grip maker's varieties and though they are various, they tend to be very...

    Experiences with Ruger 1022?

    I like the 10/22, but I cant complain with the Marlins. I have fired the 60, 10/22, and personally own a Marlin 795. All were great. My next gun I have decided will be the 10/22. Here is reason one...

    What filler to use....?

    My Fiancee's parents just bought me some shooting bags to take to the range. I have never used them before in the past and wondered what works best in them as a filler. The box recommends silica sand, or rice. My dad says to use some of those 6mm air soft gun rounds. Any thoughts?

    Took my Fiancee to the range.

    I should make a poll thread. I have decided to give her the gun I already own. She wants to paint it lime green. So now I will be looking for another, (Or 2). :cool:

    Whats the best route out of my choices for a first rifle.

    What Caliber do you really want? I would finish the AR-15. I have enjoyed shooting all of my friends AR-15's I have had the chance to shoot. I would buy new parts, and use what extra you have to buy some ammo. It will give you a chance to learn that gun inside and out.

    Took my Fiancee to the range.

    All I have to show are 6 of the 8 clothes pins she shot. It started raining and killed the targets I made. I also wasn't expecting a Kodak moment to happen on her first day. Oh well next time I'll video tape it.

    I am actually drinking Belgian beer right now, left-overs from my 21st Birthday.

    Took my Fiancee to the range.

    Great idea on the bolt action but she told me she wanted semi-auto. I told her to keep her mind open to new things. I think she is hung on that because of my gun. I'll have to take out a few of my friends bolts to see how she likes them. I'm not ruling them out, but she wants what she wants.

    Took my Fiancee to the range.

    Well I finally got a day off with my Fiancee, and took her to the shooting range for her first time. She shot some great 3/4 inch groups with my Marlin 795 .22. Fifteen or twenty minutes before we left, we were out of targets. We were sitting at the 100yrd range and I told her to try to hit the...
