Went down to Cody today to visit the museum. Got there about 11:30 and we were the third car in the lot. For a while I had the entire gun museum to myself. I'm close enough that I can pick sections and view them in detail and check out another section next time around. I concentrated on...

Sure helped me learn my lesson. Don't do the laundry. In itself it may be okay but why take the chance.

Up here in Montana we're locally under a stage 2 fire warning so shooting is banned in most areas in the local counties. We also had to cancel a pig roast because any fire that can throw a spark is also banned. I can still shoot at the range I belong to but the range closes at noon because it...

My wife's uncle has that problem only it's with problem elk. Last year he had a permit to take 10. He's in his 80's and would sleep in a camper on the upper end of his property. His wife wields the spotlight while he shoots a .257 Roberts. They'll hunt from 4 wheelers while still dressed in...

We've had two bear attacks within 100 miles of here in the last couple of years. One was stopped with a .41 mag. One was an attack in a tent in a campground. Nothing stopped that one before a sleeping camper died. I know people who carry shotguns, 44 mags, 450 marlin rifle, bear spray...

Jan 21, 1855. Ogden, Weber County, Utah Just saying.

Beartooth Cash and Gun in Billings. 2nd Ave north, just west of downtown. Open Tue-Sat. If Dave doesn't have it he'll find it and generally at a better price then you'll find elsewhere.

I have a pound of H322 and some 55 grain bullets. Hodgdon says start with 21 gr with a max of 23 Speer's manual says start with 22.5 gr with a max of 24.5 I wasn't planning on max loads but I can just about max out for one while just getting started with the other.:banghead:

2x4 Basics workbench can be purchased from Lowes or Cabelas. It provides legs and you provide 2x4s and top/shelves. You can go as big or small as you want. I made it easy on myself by choosing 4 feet llng and two feet wide. (3 8-foot 2x4 cut in half for the length and 2 more cut in quarters...

We were talking with a lady down the street. She's quiet and has a dog walking business. She mentioned that she'd spent the morning at a local range taking a shooting class and wondered if there was a class that would teach her how to clean her new Glock. I suggested what she should buy...

I lived south of a inland border checkpoint for years north of San Diego and may have driven through it hundreds of times. I don't recall ever being spoken to let alone searched by the border patrol. I suspect this is a non-issue.

I bring an interesting perspective to this discussion. I've been stone deaf on one side for over 10 years because of a tumor. The physical structure of my hearing is fine on the deaf side but the connection to my brain has been cut (so to speak). I've found that I'm still bothered by loud...

Mark Twain wrote it in a biography of the British politician Disraeli with the claim that Disraeli said it. Citations appeared to be evenly split between the two when I tried to nail down the source. I suspect Americans tend to favor Twain while the British will go with Disraeli.

Just one fact tells me allI need to know about usng nukes on Japan - Only in the recent past has the US needed to order new purple hearts. Those awarded during Korea, Vietnam, and other actions up to at least 10 years ago were ordered for the invasion of Japan.

Not posted for an answer but for amusement but I'm pretty sure most anyone on this list would love to take a gun to the moon and can't understand how anyone could see that as a problem.

Several years ago (could be as much as 25 years ago so details are vague) one of the gun rags tested this as best they could using revolvers and semi-autos with the same barrel lengths and ammo. They found that everything being equal, semis had more velocity. However, as I understand it, all...

I stopped in at a pawn shop today and they had a Greener shotgun built in the 1840's or 1850's. If anyone has a few thousand dollars I'm sure he'll strike a deal.

One of my pawn clients called today, needing proof of ownership interest in the business for a BATF audit. So I copied what he needed and trotted down to deliver it (and see if anything interesting has shown up on his shelves). I looked around to be sure no BATF guy was actually with him and...

Interesting read on the new survivalists thread. It does raise an interesting question. Just what should be put aside as basic emergency supplies? The most likely near term problem for most people will be created by Mother Nature and will, generally, be local in nature. Emergency needs...
