So I just picked up a Marlin 336A 30-30 in a trade the other day, haven't had time to shoot it yet but it seems like a fun little gun. Since I got it in a trade I have no idea what its worth, I'm thinking around $400-450, plus its got some peep sights on it supposedly worth about $100. Anyway I...

Finished my first AR-15 build the other day, thought I'd post a pic and see what you guys thought. :) The lower is from Palmetto State Armory, upper is a JSE Surplus custom build, and the stock is a Magpul ACS-L. For a sight I chose the Vortex Strikefire with a Mako 5x magnifier and flip to...

I recently got a Thompson Center Grey Hawk .54 caliber muzzle loader in a trade, and know nothing about it. So I was wondering if anyone knows what twist it has, and what type of loads would be best to shoot in it. I'm brand new to muzzle loading, so any help would be appreciated. :) Also...

So I ordered a PSA lower receiver and build kit on cyber Monday, and while waiting for it to get here, I'm trying to decide on which upper to get. (Those of you who are tired of reading AR threads may now leave...:rolleyes:) So it's come down to these three. Surplus Ammo & Arms Del-ton...

I've been considering putting some sort of red dot sight on my AK-47. I mostly only do shooting within 100yds, but hope to stretch out a little bit farther. The gun is used mainly just for plinking or in case a coyote comes around. I really prefer the reflex style of sight over the tube style...

I'm considering buying an older Mossberg 500AT that has a C-lect choke on it. I was wondering if it was possible to shoot steel shot through it? I'm not sure just how old it is, but know that it was definitely made pre-90's. It has to be able to shoot steel shot. If not, then I wouldn't buy it...

I have a 1970s or '80s Ithaca Model 37 Deerslayer featherlight 12 gauge shotgun, and I was wondering if you could shoot steel shot through it. It has a cylinder bore, so it should be fine, but I just wanted to make sure that the old barrel would be able to handle modern steel shells. I didn't...

I was out shooting my Marlin XL7 bolt action 30-06 yesterday, and the last round I fired ruptured in the chamber. I managed to unlock the bolt, but the bolt won't pull all the way open. I know the bullet discharged all the way out of the barrel so I tried pushing the casing and bolt out by...

I just heard from a friend that a law was passed in Idaho a few weeks ago that silencers can be made and used in Idaho without the $200 tax stamp! Anybody heard anything about this?

Has anyone used these mags before? http://www.cdnninvestments.com/ak7640clsmma.html Are they high quality and reliable? Or should I save my money? Any input would be appreciated.

I 're-found' this knife a few days ago and was wondering if anyone could tell me it's manufacture, origin of country, etc...? There is some writing on the right side of the blade that I can't quite make out; it would show up better if I had a better camera. I don't really know anything about it...

Do any of you have experience with this stock? http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/55822-6.html It has good reviews, but thought I'd check with you guys on THR before ordering. :) Also, how does this stock compare with the Tapco folding stock? http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/AKS025-6.html...

Have any of you ever used this knife? http://sogknives.com/store/TFSAT-8.html I did a search here on THR, but couldn't really find any recent threads on this knife. So I was wondering what you thought of this knife. I would use it for EDC, and maybe hunting. I have a large variety of...

Has anyone had experience making a bullwhip? I found a pdf file online that told how to make a nylon bullwhip, and thought it would be a nice addition to my leather one. I might make one depending upon whether or not I can find some extra time.:rolleyes: Any help/tips/techniques would be...

Is it safe to use normal laundry detergent to wash hunting clothing? I've heard that if you do, be sure to only use the detergents that say 'No scents, UV brighteners, dies, etc.' The reason I'm asking is one of my hunting shirts got accidentally got thrown into the laundry with all the...

Do any of you have experience with these? http://www.starrflight.com/ I was trying one out today and it seemed to work good. But I wanted to know if your experience with them was good or bad before I went and refletched all my arrows.

My brand new Parker Legend XP compound bow that I bought in August of 2010 just did something very weird to me. The bow is a 60-70# bow, and I originally set it up for 60#. I just had a guy at Cabelas tune it up for me today, and at the same time, I had him raise the poundage. A few minutes...

Are there any of you who have experience with this sight? Those of you who own it, do you think it is worth the price? Or would you suggest a different reflex sight, such as a Burris FastFire II. I would be using it on a rifle, in a HD type environment. (Or a zombie infestation.:D) Thanks in...

My brother recently purchased a used AK-74. It was missing the rear sight, but it was a good deal so he bought it. He then bought a Scout Scope Mount to mount on the gun, but figured out that he was missing the leaf spring that fits into the rear sight. So he ordered one from Brownells, and it...

I'm new to blackpowder shooting, and was wondering what your thoughts were on a good .44cal blackpowder revolver. Any style, length, or age, but with a going rate of under $140. I just want something cheap that will be indestructible and make a lot of smoke.:D:D:D So if you know of any good...
