    Vintage WingMaster… take it Home or let it lay?

    I like old 870s but that looks put together. For the money if you want a 8 shot HD pump get a Maverick 88 for about the same money. One problems with old 870s is if you don't fully pump them a round can slip between the bolt and the lifter jamming it. Thats why the Flex Tab was introduced. Not...

    From Fishing to Hunting.

    Well you could get a 12ga shotgun. Use slugs to hunt big game and shot for small game and birds. Heck you could hunt some flying fish with it.

    Cabelas/Bass Pro head scratch moment

    I only found one good deal there. Back when all the milsurps were comming in I found a nice "Russian M38 Mosin" the label said for $79.00. I grabbed it and filled out the paperwork with cash in hand. The snarky gun counter manager came over to sign off and got a funny look on his face. He told...

    Does AI (Grok) give good hunting and shooting advice?

    I have not ventured into a dedicated AI program. But since Google on my cell phones went to AI helped results, I don't like it. Seems instead of getting a lot of sites to look at you get a scroll down menue of AI crap that gives conflicting ansewers as you scroll down. I don't trust it and I...

    Buy more guns or improve the ones I have?

    Well you didn't say all the guns you have. So you may have some that are very collectable "as is" without messing with them and damage value "improving". You may have some that will appreciate from "improving". Or just some that "improving" can go either way. IMO over 50 years of messing with...

    Handloading .30-30WIN

    Thats what got me interested in reloading back in 1974 (I was 13). A friend had one to load .303 British. I had my gramps M94 30-30 and a Sako .243 Win I talked my mom into getting for me. So the guy at the gunshop we went to said I might as well get the RCBS Jr reloading kit. I did and still...

    Why Emphasize That It's A LOADED Gun?

    I guess it's to emphasize "Loaded" you could have shot someone. Much better for the antigun story. Now "UN loaded" gun is basically a expensive club or hammer. But still a antigun story. Because any gun is bad and scary. There will never be a progun story in mainstream media. They even hate LE guns.

    What is this? Or these? It says Mauser on it

    I had no idea but what Slamfire said makes sense. I think the 2 threaded collars are for 2 different receivers with different threads. Both are stored together on the mandrel. Thats my additional WAG.

    .327 Federal.....

    Well my son tried out his new Ruger LCR. Worked fine with Buffalo Bore .327 Mag 100gr jhp and 130gr hard cast. I believe he also had another loading of .327M. He also had a box of BB .32H&R Mag +P 100gr jhp. He shot 6 rounds and all stuck in the cylinder. He had to knock them out with a small...

    Bluing, who's do you like?

    I'll add Vans if you're looking for a cold blue. I've done about 20ish older Mossberg, Marlin, Savage, Remington .22 rifles and they came out great. I would use it on any other firearm but those are what needed some rebluing. https://vansgunblue.com/

    NSSF Report On Trump's Tariffs.

    Sometimes it's good to throw gas on the fire to clear things up. We've been in a slow burn the last 4 years so lets go for it. Sure I like guns but they're not my life or future.

    Why does the 7MM-08 tempt me?

    I got my 7MM-08 by accident. I knew what it was but it was new. I wanted a Remington 788 carbine in .308 in the early 1980s. A hunting buddy wanted one too. Butt time went on and they were discontinued. I found a new to me back roads gunshop. Well what did he have? Three new 788 carbines. Two...

    Thats what a farmer puts out in the field by the road for the "city" hunters. Keeps his real cows safe. ;)

    Tell me about the 6.5x55

    Excellent cartridge way ahead of it's time. A true classic that is as good today as ever. I would get it if priced right.
