I recently had the pleasure of spending some time with a dear old friend of mine from high school after our 25th reunion. He loves his guns and freedom like the rest of us, and recently left his real estate career (or should I say it left him) and went to work for an undertaker. That being said...

I came across this on another forum and thought I'd share it with you. It's things like this that make me proud to be a Kentuckian :) I'd like to see more news coverage like this on a national level as well as local. http://www.wbko.com/news/headlines/5220961.html

I picked up a Russian Mosin Nagant M44 carbine today that's in pretty good shape considering it's been through a war :) Anyhow, I'm hoping to come up with some suggestions on how I should clean the rifle and remove the 50+ year old cosmoline. Does anyone know the best solvents to break this...

Kudos to Marlin's customer service department!!!! Earlier this month I purchased a new 1894c lever action chambered in .357 after looking for one for over a year. Upon closer inspection at home, I realized it had a fit & finish issue where the bolt assembly mates to the receiver as well as a...

A friend of mine at work has a K22 (serial # K3235xx), it's a 4 screw with the original diamond grips, patridge site, 10 groove top and backstrap, target hammer and trigger, 6 inch barrel.....in NICKEL. According to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 3rd edition, the serial number...

Could someone please fill me in on the evolution of the Smith & Wesson model 17 and model 18 ? What changes were made with each dash number throughout the years, and when did Smith & Wesson introduce MIM parts to the K22 ? I'm looking for a classic heirloom quality blued K22 to compliment my...

After looking and waiting for almost a year and a half, I was finally able to locate a Marlin 1894c at a nearby gun store yesterday. Although I am glad to FINALLY own this seemingly elusive model, I'm not too pleased with the fit and finish. There is a very noticable gap where the bottom side of...

I have a S&W model 60-15 with a 3" barrel that needs a quality holster. This is going to be my ccw this summer at work where deep concealment and discretion is a must, so IWB would be preferable. I don't mind spending a little more for a quality holster, but there just doesn't seem to be much...

I recently bought a new S&W model 60 J frame, 3 inch, for a summer/work CCW. I would like to get this gun a trigger/action job, have the hammer bobbed, and replace the sights with something I can see with my middle aged eyes (nightsight if possible). Would I be better off sending it to Smith...

I'm looking for a summer CCW and I decided against the Kahr K9 Elite I almost bought (or any Kahr for than matter), and was considering a J-frame revolver. I had a S&W model 60 with a 3" barrel that I sold last year ( STILL kicking myself for letting that go :banghead: ) I think with an...

Has anyone ever used the Truglo TFO sights ? My middle aged eyes don't get along well with traditional tritium nightsights, and the Novak tritium dot configuration is an improvement but not perfect (daytime use). I couldn't help but wonder if the Truglo TFOs would be a good solution for me for...

I picked up a couple of boxes of Hornady's LeveRevolution ammo today for my Marlin 336 (.30-30). Has anyone ever tried it yet ? It's basically a jacketed hollowpoint with a soft rubber tip. The box lists the muzzle velocity at 2400 fps, +3.0" @100 yards, 0.0" @200 yards, and -12.5" @300 yards...

I'll be getting a cap and ball revolver soon, and probably a black powder rifle at some point later on down the road and was wondering what all I"m going to need as far as accessories, extra parts, tools, etc. So....what's in your possible bag / tool kit ???

I would like to learn more about these revolvers and would love to get one. I've read a lot of posts and heard great things about them....any negatives to the Rugers ??? Also, what are the differences , pros and cons of the 5 1/2" barrel vs. the 7 1/2" barrel ???

I know there isn't one "miracle gun" that does all, but I'm looking for a good versatile all around centerfire rifle to add to my collection. I really don't do much hunting, at least not right now, but would like to have that option later. I already have some .22's for the small stuff, but...

What is everyone's idea of a well rounded practical personal arsenal ? I'm not talking about the "money's no object dream guns", but what is actually in the safe to cover the bases on a realistic budget. Currently, I have : m60 S&W .357/.38 revolver (ccw, nightstand gun) CZ P01 9mm semi...

I was in my friendly neighborhood gun shop today buying my son's birthday present and shooting the breeze with some of the people there. The salesman I was working with has a son that is a police officer, and he was telling me that home invasions were becoming more and more of a problem for the...

I recieved this email from a friend today and found it rather interesting. I'm not sure how to double check the statistics, but this comes to no surprise to me. From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down...

Just curious, how far does everyone's gun spit out the shell casings ? I bought a CZ P01 this weekend and it was throwing them out about 8-10 feet on the farm. Today at the indoor range, they kept bouncing off the partition wall and hitting me in the head ARGH !!! I had a couple go down the...
