    THR Remington 1858 Club

    Will you count me in with a 1858 that has a cartridge conversion cylinder? If you accept me, I'll put up a picture of my 8" barrel Remington tomorrow.

    Budget Rifle Opinions Wanted.

    Prices on both AR and AK type rifles have fallen during the past few months. They are some of the lowest I've seen in at least a couple of years. If you are looking for a good budget AR I would suggest the S&W M&P 15. It is a great rifle for someone new to the AR platform. I have really...

    NC: "No Guns" BBQ Eatery gets Robbed

    My post was not meant to be taken too seriously although it is true that a majority of restaurants in our state that serve BBQ and down home cooking are owned by and cater to customers that are strong supporters of the Second Amendment. I'm just joking a little bit here. The Pit is in one of...

    NC: "No Guns" BBQ Eatery gets Robbed

    I'm sorry, I take issue with the title of this thread. The Pit is not a NC BBQ restaurant proper, it is a yuppie wannabe restaurant that serves a facsimile pork product they call BBQ. No real Eastern BBQ restaurant would have a no guns allowed sign on their front doors. I have lived here my...

    S&w m&p 15

    My S&W M&P 15 shoots great, it is a nice, no frills, AR-15 for someone on a budget. Anything less than $ 600.00 is a good deal for one.

    Quickly applying hearing protection?

    This is what I do too. I've noticed a decrease in my hearing with age and I have decided to preserve all I can from here on out. I have a set of foam earplugs with a cord I wear around my neck whenever I hunt now.

    My first 1858!

    I just picked up a Pietta Remington New Army 1858 too but mine had been gently used and came with a .45LC cartridge conversion cylinder instead of the black powder one. It is a beauty and a tank compared to the Uberti 1873 7 1/2 Peacemaker I own. If I decide to go black powder with my...

    For a hunting rifle what would be your choice of only one hunting rifle?

    Here's a another vote for the .30-06. I love my Marlin 336 in .30-30 too but the .30-06 will reach out a little farther for those long shots you take in wide open areas at distances longer than 150 yards. I have a Savage 110 in .30-06 and have no regrets about buying or using it at all. It is...

    Your CCW Class Experiences

    I got my CCW permit in North Carolina back in 2010. It was a eight hour class taught by a police officer/certified Glock armorer. There were eleven of us in the class, eight men and three women. The classroom instruction included shoot/don't shoot video demonstrations, some instruction on...

    Any body get into the AK74 game "late"?

    I've got a Century Arms Tantal too and I have had no issues with it. It is a lot of fun to shoot and even my wife likes to fire it. 5.45X39 is still available and relatively cheap and easy to find. Some of the early Tantals that Century put on the market had barrels that were chambered for...

    Gun Control Bill Gains 185 Co-Sponsors in the House

    It is no surprise to see David Price's name on this proposed legislation along with that of Mel Watt. David Price has been my Congressman for almost thirty years and I've voted against him in every election in which he has run. I am in the minority in the Raleigh/Durham area, surrounded by...

    Fellow deer hunters what gun are you using for deer season

    I have two rifles that I use: Marlin 336CS - .30-30 with a 160 grain bullet for woods, heavier cover Savage 110 - .30-06 with a 150 grain bullet for open fields and places where I might take a longer shot.

    Silliest thing you ever took deer hunting

    The Bowie did come in handy for clearing brush and limbs, this area is not one that we regularly hunt and it served it's purpose. It will stay at home next time. The pillow is something I use to give my back a little relief and since I do not have a tree stand set up there, the chair comes in...

    Silliest thing you ever took deer hunting

    My problem when I go deer hunting is not that the things I carry are silly but it is that I carry too much with me sometimes. The poet William Blake once said "Too much is better than not enough" and I agree with that philosophy. However, after a hunting trip where I had to walk over a mile...

    Gun Show today. Waste of time?

    As most of the previous posters have said, gunshows are not the place to go if you are looking for bargain basement prices for firearms and shooting supplies. I haven't been to a show in about two years now since I have had three new gunstores open within fifteen minutes of where I live. Most...

    30-30 leverevolution

    They give you a little flatter shooting bullet in your lever action and in my Marlin 336, I get one to two inch groups at 100 yards which is certainly acceptable for deer hunting. Hornaday has started producing this ammunition in a wide variety of calibers including, .35 Rem, .45-70 Government...

    Do we surround them?

    Anyone who says or actually believes that "The NRA kills children" is not mentally fit to have a discussion with. Besides this forum, which has many fine members who have your back, I would spend a little more time at my local gun stores and ranges where I am sure you will meet many individuals...

    Do we surround them?

    My situation is the exact opposite of the original poster, almost everyone I know when it comes to family and friends is pro Second Amendment and thinks gun laws are too restrictive in many parts of the United States. I can only think of one person in the past year who had anything negative to...

    Painting front sight post

    There are many alternatives that should do the job nicely. There is high-visibility sight paint that many gun stores sell or you can try some of the other ideas mentioned here. I have a Taurus 66 that I painted the front sight ramp on with some red auto touch up paint and two years later...

    HELP!!! I shoot everything better than my Glock 17 (Pics)

    It's funny how certain shooters adapt to certain pistols better than others. As for me, I am very accurate with my Glock 21, 23, 26 and Taurus PT-92 but I can't hit the side of a barn sometimes with my 1911s. The 1911s feel so much better in my hand than the others yet I shoot them worse then...
