    Does Walmart still sell Firearms?

    it would be just fine if they stopped. I have only bought ammo there and it was a big enough pain

    Win 30-30 for rural defense?

    I love how people seem to think that "SD" means fighting off a hoard of well trained, international diamond thieves armed to the teeth. The only thing that could possibly defend you and your family would be a $1200 AR with a $1000 scope, every type of tactical mount made, and at least 5,000...

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    Mossberg anything, The 500 doesn't feel like half the gun an 870 is a they shouldn't have ever started making rifles (like the .22's with the .50bmg style muzzle brakes). Anything that doesn't have a use. A gun is a tool. I don't really care for mindless plinking. I get a kick out of the guys...

    GM drop in barrel or a new Knight?

    I know that most of you guys on here are more traditional black powder guys, but still Im curious for your opinions. I have a TC hawken at the moment and I am not at all interested in shooting a round ball, I want a better set-up for sabots and heavy conicals. I know a round ball will kill a...

    .22 for longer ranges

    step up to a .17 hummer! If you go any heavier than the standard 40 grain fair you will be just increasing the rainbow effect of the trajectory at that range.

    Looking for a good way to carry .30-30

    go to an Army surplus store and pick a LBE. It's a pistol belt with suspenders and on the pistol belt there are pouches for magazines that would work great for loose ammo. You could also get a LBV (load bearing vest) but they would be harder to find in a surplus store I just re-read your...

    How did we get so many SKSs (no complaints)

    I saw a HUGE amount in a munitions storehouse in Fort Jackson about five years ago. There were crates, and crates of them!! I'm sure that there were at least a thousand

    loudest gun you own?

    I think the .30 carbine thing has to do with slow burning rifle powder in a pistol length barrel (like a .22 mag pistol), I think that my Marlin 336 is up there for the loudest gun I own

    convert 870 to tactical

    some people hate bead sights....not everyone uses their shotguns for "patterning" at 10 yards. I slug hunt and at 80 yards a single bead is pretty worthless and has me begging for rifle sights or a ghost ring. easy thing to do would be to get a "b square" side scope mount and a red dot or one...

    rifled slug gun range

    I'm looking a new deer gun for next year. Here in Iowa we can only use rifles in the January antler-less season and are limited to shotguns and muzzle loaders for the other seasons. I like muzzleloaders, but the only one that I have right now is an iron sighted side lock. I want something...

    front globe sights

    I think that i am just going to skip them, I like the way they look and the extra accuracy would be nice, but at hunting ranges I'm already as accurate as my hawken can be I think

    front globe sights

    Are any of guys using a front globe sight? I have a TC hawken that I just put a rear peep sight on (which is great) and I was thinking that a globe sight would be the next step. Do they really help accuracy? I use this for deer hunting and I am concerned that it might make quick shots hard.

    What Muzzleloader, etc. Do You Shoot?

    I used to have a Traditions Pursuit xlt and a Pietta 1851 Colt but no more. The only bp gun I have right now is a TC hawken that I have completely redone. I stripped and tru-oiled the stock and bead blasted and bowned the metal. I also added a mag-spark 209 primer nipple and a tang peep sight. I...
