Had time today before a shooting competition to finally try out the MPV. Sadly I had only one type of ammo with me and it wasn't the best suited for the twist rate. I had 20 rounds of Black Hills 68gr JHP (I grabbed the .308 range box by mistake) Fortunately it was enough to get the scope close...

My dealer called me to let me know the Mossberg MVP I had on order since last summer is finally going to show up. To me this will make for a great rifle with many features I like, most noticeably it uses AR magazines and is chambered for 5.56 and .223. Other things I like include the stock...

After over 12 weeks the dealer to dealer transfer finally cleared and I got to hold my Yankee Hill Integrally Suppressed 10/22 barrel in my hands. Got the paperwork filled out and will get it sent in as soon as I can get the Chief to sign off on it. The good news is the dealer that is...

What do I mean by non tactical? I mean knives that have a locking function without looking like military gear. I am talking wood or bones scales, non-aggressive designs, no pocket clips, something a mall ninja would sneer at. A knife with class... Now I must admit my first lockback was not...

My 22 CHeetah barrel is fading...quite a few years of nailing coyotes with a 55 grain bullet at 4400 fps has taken it's toll on the barrel and as it has already been set back once I think the barrel is rapidly approaching the end of it's life. And as I don't plan on anymore trips out west to...

my new 22 build and a contest...WE HAVE A WINNER! I have gotten my latest .22 build finished up, other than the suppressed barrel...that will likely be 4-6 more months before the paperwork clears. I wasn't willing to wait that long so I am using an ER Shaw barrel till then. While it looks like...

I am going to start by letting you know this carbine was not used by Chesty Puller, it does not of the image of the Holy Mother in the stock, and it was not blessed by the Pope...it is not a sacred relic nor does it have any historical relevance. If I knew this was used by General Douglas...

looks like some good prices and cheap shipping...

Finally got some of the new Hornady 300 Whisper ammo in and got out to the range with it today. This is the first factory ammo I have shot in this rifle, up to now it has been all handloads and I was eager to see how the 208 grain A-Max bullet would perform. I got set up on the 100...

Hornady's 300 Whisper ammo is hitting retailers shelves and availability is becoming more common now. The ammo has been eagerly awaited by many who own either one of JD Jones' excellent rifles or any of the 308/221 wildcats. The UPS driver brought me three boxes of the 208gr A-Max ammo this...

Ok...I know we don't talk about zombie uprisings here on the forum but what can you do when the manufacturer calls them "Zombie Killers"? With names like the ZK Pestilence Chopper, the ZK Death Dagger, the ZK War Sword these knives are definite attention getters. The radioactive green scales...

I am a revolver shooter from way back, my primary carry gun is a S&W 325PD, an N-frame 2.75" 45acp. I normally carry at least one other revolver as a BUG, quite often on the opposite hip in a crossdraw holster. For pocket carry however I have been using a Kel-Tec PF-9 for over 3 years now. After...

I was looking through the Indiana Gun Owners forum for sale ads and saw this Ruger offered for sale. Mk I 99% condition in original box...$225. I immediately sent a PM hoping I was first (ad had only been posted for about 15 minutes or so) and indeed I was. Picked it up last night in a face to...

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings..." In 1949 my Father graduated from St. John's Military Academy and was presented with a new C serial number 1911 Government by his father. This gun was shot by my...

Well after a long wait, much longer than I was really comfortable with, I finally received my conversion in the mail. Before ordering from them again I would want to know they have what I am ordering in stock, I really dislike waiting 7 weeks after they have accepted my money before shipping...

There should be a rule against having ammo in the house you don't own a gun for. With several cases of 20 and 28 gauge shotgun shell laying around for a couple of years I decided that rather than sell the ammo I should buy guns to use them with. While perusing Gunbroker I came across this...

The name "sodbuster" is a trademarked name belonging to Case. It has become a generic name for this pattern of folder but AG decided not to use a trademarked name and called this knife his Cowboy Pocketknife. He makes a Jr version as well called the Rancher. The sizes do correspond closely to...

A few weeks ago I bought a used Savage model 12 BBSS. This was a spur of the moment buy simply because the price was too good to pass up. Came set up with a 6X18 scope and Harris bipod. I ordered some Bitterroot Valley ammo for it and tried every thing out at the range today. This Savage is a...

I bought several boxes of this ammo last year just before the supply completely dried up. My testing back then was very positive with the round demonstrating excellent penetration and an average expansion to .41 caliber. Sadly it became sold out everywhere shortly after I did the testing and...

Lately these traditional knives have been mentioned in at least a half dozen posts when talking about large tough classic knives so I feel they are due a thread of their very own. These are 5 1/4" (closed average) clasp style knives that are called folding hunters by most collectors. The large...
