Just picked up what looks like a Newt Livesay Air Assault for a very good price. There is very little information I could find about these knives online and I was wondering if someone knew more about this company or this knife. How is the quality and reputation of the knife and maybe when was it...

Just thought I'd share with you guys a little last minute comic my girlfriend whipped up for a cousin's English class. Sorry for the pic quality but it gets the point across. Ill add text if its hard to read. It's a parallel to gun ownership and self defense using cats. Her teacher is very...

My girlfriend and I were traveling around Oklahoma and stopped by what looked like a yard sale. Long story short, a gentleman there had an ak47 for sale. I checked the weapon over, it looked to be a milled receiver, threaded barrel, with wooden furniture (had the wooden front grip as well)...

So after shooting a TON of different .308 rifles, my heart was always with the M1a. I didn't really care at the end what rifle was more accurate what was easier to clean or what had accessories for it. I didn't care about ammo cost, I didn't care about what id have to spend to upgrade it. I just...

I know, I know :(, I grew up in a non shooting family. I shot the good old Mosing Nagant 91/30 today and I must say I think the gun chose me. I really enjoyed shooting it and now must buy at least 2-12. :) Oh and I was rather pleased, I know this doesnt sound like anything impressive to most...

So a while back I posted a thread about a certain 686 4" no dash that I wanted (Guillermo remembers haha). I didn't buy it, kind of bummed bummed me out. I did buy a 2.5" 66 no dash though which I'm still smiling about. Looking at my 6" 686-6 next to the 66 made me want the earlier 686 even...

A question about the markings. It has what looks like a C15 stamped above the serial and then perpendicular to that and almost over the serial is an S or and SS. This is on the cylinder arm. On the frame near the butt it has the serial and then next to it a C4 C5 and C15. It also has a U in...

So I WAS going to go and buy that 686 no dash I mentioned in my other thread, but I stumbled upon this beauty instead today: S&W Model 66 no dash. 2.5" I was really looking for a carry piece, I mean really I had no use for another 4"-6" 686 since I already have a 6" and this 66 fit the bill...

Shot one of these and I loved it. I don't want one for a collectors piece so I don't see the need to spend 500$ on one (although I think they are the bee's knees). I just like the action and feel/weight. Is there an alternative big heavy wooden stock .22 bolt action that anyone can recommend...

I found a 4" 686 no dash, tight lockup very clean for $520 I really am considering picking it up, is this right on the money or better?

I have a new 686-6 that I purchased (yeah i know should have bought an older one blah blah, there's something special about the gun only ever being yours ie. new) and I was wondering if you could replace at least the trigger with a non-mim part from an older 686. I know the hammer would be a no...

This question is more how to avoid the tax stamp. If I am cutting the stock down on a long gun, What do I measure to get that 26" overall? From tip of muzzle to the most outward end of the stock? Thanks I dont want to cut it and then have someone measure it differently from I and say, "oh...

Ever since I visited the Weitzenhoffer Gallery of Fine American Firearms at the National Cowboy Museum, I have fallen even further in love with revolving rifles. I noticed that Taurus/Rossi makes a modern one called the Curcuit Judge and I got to thinking that it would be just the perfect Home...

I was cleaning an old grill with my step-dad today using a spray bottle full of simple green. (He's a gun owner as well) As I was picking the spray bottle up he turns to me and says "ya know, maybe you've been shooting too much". I said "what do you mean?" He points to my hand and not...

Sorry to bring up this topic again but I love to hear stories of young revolver users being approached by auto pistol users at a range or otherwise. I had a man come up to me and ask me if I was shooting a judge (b/c I guess that's the young person revolver to buy) and I had to tell him :no...
