Two specifically: An 1832, .69 caliber, smoothbore, flintlock converted-to-percussion musket w/ original bayonet and sheath(?) And another dated 1842. My father also has an old Beretta auto 12 guage and a Remington Speedmaster that I will pass on. Oh..and my Uncle's Ithaca...

I am making a trip from Western Kentucky to Tampa, FL in a week and a half and I was wondering if there were any notable places to stop in between that offer some nice opportunities to fondle C&R guns....or any guns for that matter. :) Any places that offer good deals where you can walk in...

I couldn't find the answer to this by searching, but I was wondering if it was possible to FexEx or UPS your guns to yourself. I made a last minute flight to go pick up a truck I purchased back in my hometown. The flight is with United and there is one stop in....drum roll...Chicago. I...

Yup...brains.

When speaking to the power of the .22, I always reference a little test I did to see if there was any difference between round nose .22 cartridges and hollow points. I noticed a lot of the .22 LR bullets had an incredibly shallow depression in the nose, which I figured would translate to very...

Uh....I hope I didn't come off as too much of a buzzkill. I've done my share of bone-headed things. I just figured I would save someone else the feelling that comes when everyone else is staring and shaking their head at you. I've also tried to become more aware of how we are perceived and...

My Uncle's friend was telling me about how he used to go out and shoot red-tailed hawks off the high-power wires when they were a few hundred yards off with his .243. He is a hunter and still hunts to this day. But he got choked up as he finished up with the story. Apparantly, he was ashamed...

Did you ask him for a Saiga 100 when you ordered it? Or did you ask for a Saiga .308 rifle? The latter is exactly what you want. I would think you have a pretty good foundation for an argument on him eating it and ordering you the one you asked for. Am I incorrect in guessing that you said...

I'm up here in Ashtabula county for a couple more months recovering at my parents from heart surgery. My problem is that all my guns are still in FL! I don't even know if I can purchase a firearm up here or in PA legally from an FFL. Anyone privy to Ohio laws dictating out-of-state people...

I don't know if this helps at all with identification, but the city on the label isn't "Nialieh". It is Hialeah. It is a city down in the Miami area.

-MLJDeckard MLJ, can you quantify that statement? Because from what my Grandfather has told me about my family's lifestyle/hunting practices, it couldn't be further from how he and his brothers operated. They wouldn't take a shot unless it was a a virtually guaranteed kill/incapacitation...

Well this thread is worthless without a link!

I also read a few books about SOG (Study and Observation Group) operators concerning opportunites while running "Bright Light", inserting these rounds in the weapon's caches that were available. IIRC, it became so successful that the North Vietnamese were questioning, and at one point halting...

!! "All parents will be there. Period!" While this is a good thing, do not rely on said parents to supervise the use of the firearm(s) safely/responsibly. As I'm sure you know, always keep in mind that you (and yours) are going to be held liable for any problems/damages/injuries that may...

I dunno. Isn't there a way to take a wax mold of the chamber, just to make sure? That or take it to someone who has some go/no-go guages? Those are my first two thoughts.

Unfortunately, we were told while we were growing up to respect old people, doctors, police officers, teachers, judges, lawyers, etc. because at one time they were much more honest and ethical which warranted the respect as a whole. These days I carry a much more tentative and reserved "respect"...

Yeah. To paraphrase nwilliams, you def got a steal, and we def need pics! I posted when I was too tired last night and forgot the important stuff. LOL

http://www.falfiles.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=150 I would go over to FALfiles and ask the same question as hotlinked above. I would elaborate more, but I'm not as well versed. I had a Steyr factory build which is supposedly one of the highest end/most sought after. But I...

SacketJoe, "Put it in terms of money, they get that." ^^LOL. Yeah. They GET it, then they SPEND it. :D

The only thing that I can say that has worked for me specifically is to be firm. Whenever I have dated a girl and she has expressed an aversion for my hobby, I told her it is part of my upbringing, I'm responsible with them and it is never going to change - no matter what. I've always said it...
