    Parting shot with Dad

    My dad & I ran beagles and hunted small game. He's been gone for 30 years and I still miss him. I visited his grave site two days ago and we had a talk. I looked for his approval of the beagle I had with me and somehow I know he would have loved this dog too. Your reverent description of the...

    Guns and education level

    Guns & Ammo Mag, past due notice nonsense

    I just subscribed to Guns & Ammo. Couldn't pass up the deal - 24 issues for $12.00! Let's hope they don't give me any grief. Somehow, Playboy has my name on their list too. Their offer is 12 issues for $12.00 and includes some kind of "Wet" DVD, but my Mrs. says I can't subscribe! I understand...

    To our valued customers...

    Many years ago I was calling many gun shops, trying to locate a magazine for a Remington rifle. At one department store that carried Remingtons, I asked for the sporting department and a woman answered. I asked if they had a magazine for a Remington Model 788, cal. 6mm. She responded with a...

    SHARPSHOOTERS ON HISTORY CH. TONIGHT

    Tom Knapp was amazing! Hitting those thrown aspirins with a 22! And not just one lucky shot. As for Jerry Miculek. I always wondered just how accurate those ultra fast handgun shooters were. Now I know . . his first rapid string of 6 shots under 1 sec. from a double action revolver were...

    NRA Board Recommendations

    The vote I'm sure all the candidates have qualifications that are worthy of their being on the ballot. But . . . I believe it would be easier to list the few that are considered less deserving of a board position.

    Old Hungarian double identification

    I need some help for a friend. He has this apparently well made 16 ga. double made in Budapest that he knows nothing about. I was absolutely no help but am hoping someone here can identify this old shotgun. Thanks for your time...

    Rifle identity?

    Can anyone help with identifying this rifle. It's a single shot, bolt action 22K Hornet with double set triggers and looks to be European but according to the owner there are no identifying marks on it. Thanks. http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo=311688&sort=7&thecat=500&password=

    How much do you pay for lead?

    As for scrap prices, a few months ago I sold a 5 gal. bucket of cartridge brass to a scrap dealer. Price was around 55¢/lb., which he said was a record high for brass. I asked about lead prices and he told me 5 to 10¢/lb.! It's been that way for a long time where I deal. I'm in the fortunate...

    PA folks - pawn shops???

    I spent 6 years working in Harrisburg in the late 50's-early 60's and there were a few pawn shops in an alley several blocks away from where I worked. Don't know if they're still there but the shop windows were always filled with firearms.

    Anyone shoot/own guns but not hunt?

    I can understand the non-hunters points about not wanting to personally shoot an animal. I feel compassion for the animals we do hunt but will never again hunt non-edibles like crows or woodchucks (which I used to shoot every summer). I grew up hunting and that's what really got me into guns...
