Coming at this from a different point of view: Yes, I have felt that I have wasted money on guns. Not because the guns were for any reason bad guns, or because I felt that the money would have been better off financing a different endeavour. I felt that I have wasted money on guns because I...

Up here it's $48 for the resident hunting and sport fishing license, nothing but harvest tags required for the general season Moose or Caribou hunts. If you are a non-resident, tags are $400 for Moose, $325 for Caribou, and get this: $1,100 for muskox. $500 for Grizzly and $425 for Dall sheep...

I have some experience with one of the older Euroarms (Uberti?) 1873's and can say that it is a fine little rifle. That said, my biggest issue with them is that they wont feed 38sp length rounds. You have to load all your rounds to 357 Mag length, otherwise they will hang up the toggle link...

I am of the camp that believes weapons should be clean at all times, regardless of whether is it a .22 or a .50 caliber. I payed what is to me a lot of money for each of my guns (even the humble little $75 .22 rifle) and want to maintain them as well as I can. That said, does an AR need to be...

I would say that I about broke even this year on the collection, maybe one or two up over last year thanks to some good trades made. Now I have decided that I will stop buying guns that I dont need but are just a great deal and focus solely on some of the more expensive rifles and pistols I...

W.E.G.: You know, I am really trying to read your post and see what there is to be gained there, but I can't see anything, rather similar to what you seem to find in my situation. I am aware I made quite a large mistake, and I think that I made that point clear. I fail to see anywhere that I...

Bigfatdave: no issue, I assumed you were sticking highroad, and the bullet went through two layers of sheetrock (both sides of a wall), two of my wife's aprons (I am still hearing about that), a thin interior door, hit the backsplash in the kitchen and came to rest on the counter. LOUD...

To all, thanks for the responses and suggestions, JDMorris: The G2 is nice, but I would actually recommend a weapon mounted light, along with a backup light of the mag variety. After my incident today I believe that may be the direction I take. I say Maglite over surefire simply because as a...

jhall: Yes, the hole is far from where I was aiming, since I am nearly 100% certain that in my mind I was turning on the flashlight, not pulling the trigger. JDmorris: I understand what you are getting at, but I do insist on the "training how we fight" attitude I am immersed in, so I dont...

Old Shooter: Yeah, this has really put some things on the table to consider and be aware of. As far as a safe room and hunkering down, that is the plan, my wife and I both go to my sons room, which is the next door down the hall, and wait there with the phone and the gun on the door. The plan...

Well, I did something extremely stupid today. I was at home, alone, my wife and son had gone out to get groceries. I figured that while they were gone I would go over what I would do in case of a bump in the night, since this is new house and I am not 100% familiar with it yet. I got out my...

Well, this is just the end of quite a long drawn out process, but I am happy with the results. To make a long story short: In June/July time frame of last year (2009) I was having many issues with my Bushmaster Carbon 22 upper. Now, I am sure most of you know, these were not made for very...

Thanks guys, that is the type of info I was looking for, and it seems that I am not going to have to look to hard to find what I need. Good times will be had...

Hi all, I am in the process of moving to Alaska, and I was hoping to get some input from any folks that might already be living in the Fairbanks area about ammo prices. Is the local WalMart still the cheapest around, and do they carry the same types of ammo as the lower 48? I am thinking...

If I had to hunt Spartans I think my gun collection would include a heavy MG. If I was a Spartan....probably something with a bayonet. I Imagine they would engage in much bayoneting.

WWB used to be the best deal going around here, but now that Wally World is carrying Federal, and even better the RWS Orange box stuff for cheaper than the WWB, I havent bought a single round of Winchester. Besides that, my Glock 34 will run the WWB 9MM just fine, but that junk will choke up...

Thats exactly what I was thinking, thanks for confirming me on that one. I believe I will pass on this one since I dont think he will drop $200-$300 off his price.

Hi all, I am looking at a S&W model 59 9mm, nickel plated in NRA fine to excellent shape and was wondering what those more knowledgeable than I thought of this pistol. It is in good shape and the guy who has it has clearly not used it much, he claims a single magazine through it, and I wouldn't...

I'll put up some of mine. I am just getting into photography, so I am experimenting alot with different lenses, light, and settings. This is my girl Lilly, she is a Bernese Mountain Dog mix, and just an amazing companion, perfectly happy to lay down and watch tv or go outside and play around...

T-Bolts, over and over again I come back to them, new, old, good shape, beat up, I dont care, just give me a T-Bolt.
