    Recent experience flying with firearms

    Does anyone know if there is a padlock made that is small enough to work on a Pelican case, and yet is strong enough to not be easily cut off by the baggage guys? I was thinking that if the case had multiple padlocks on it, and a baggage handler had a very difficult time cutting the first lock...

    am i the only one who uses singleshot shotguns to hunt with??

    I have shot countless numbers of rabbits & squirrels, and lots of pheasants; also plenty of quail, turkeys, ducks, deer, racoon, etc. with my real old New England Firearms brand 20 gauge single shot with modified choke; than with all the other shotguns combined. I have shot many other shotguns...

    Range Finders

    Another thing to consider is the quality of the glass. With my Leica 1600-B I can see a deer at 600 yards in dim light such as dawn and dusk; and even at night with a full moon. That can be very important when hunting at dawn or dusk. Cheap glass just can't do that. You can't range something...

    Which Cowboy Rifle & Caliber

    If you want a short fast handling rifle; that's what the carbine was made for. I don't think the model 73 carbine has a saddle ring like the model 92 does, but you can call the dealer and ask them. I have bought a model 66 carbine and a model 73 deluxe sporting rifle from Dixie Gun Works, and...

    Which Cowboy Rifle & Caliber

    My first cowboy rifle was a modern replica of the Winchester 1892 carbine chambered for the 357 magnum cartridge. I chose that because of the light weight and less recoil. Since then I have used a Winchester 1892 rifle, a Henry rifle, a Winchester model 1866 carbine, a Winchester model 1873...

    Accurate shooting with declining eyesight?

    I was able to solve this problem by using a wider front sight (I prefer a larger diameter gold bead), along with a wider rear notch. There is a lot of truth to what rcmodel wrote:

    Cap and Ball for HD?

    If it is legal for her to own a muzzleloading gun while she is in Florida, I think a double barreled percussion shotgun loaded with buckshot would be a much better choice for home defense. It has been my experience that most of the cap and ball revolvers being sold nowadays are not very...

    Good jeans for pocket carry.

    I have tried many different kinds of jeans for pocket carry, and for me the Wrangler 96501MR (that's one of their most common and least expense jeans) work a lot better than any other. They have a little deeper front pockets than most others. I had a leather holster custom made to fit the pocket...

    Problem with Gunsmith

    As MrM4 said, don’t think I have anything to gain by posting his info online. I’m very ill and don’t have the energy to do a long debate on this forum, which is what I think it would turn into. I got screwed by someone, which happens sometimes. I will contact the BBB and tell them my story, as...

    Problem with Gunsmith

    I recently had a famous gunsmith who lives in another state do some work on one of my rifles. I had never dealt with this guy before. When I got the gun back I was very unhappy. He did not do some of the work that he was supposed to, and now I will have to do that work myself. I agreed...

    Pocket holster getting loose

    Let me clarify something. When I say the holster is getting loose and less snug, I am referring to how the holster fits inside my pocket; not how the gun fits inside the holster. The gun still fits snug inside the holster which I consider to be a good thing. There are no projections or...

    Pocket holster getting loose

    I carry a Colt Pocket Positive snub nose revolver in a leather holster in the front pocket of my Wrangler jeans. The leather holster was custom made for me and I like it a lot. When the holster was new it was a very snug fit. But over time the holster has become less and less snug and now...

    Fascinating. Is there someplace on the Internet where can I see more photos and information about Ancient "Fantasy Daggers" like that?
