Like the title suggests, is a .22 short powerful enough for armadillos? I've got an armadillo tearing up my backyard. Usually a .22 short round nose out of a long barreled Winchester single shot does the trick for me, but their armor has me questioning it's appropriateness for this animal. I...

Anyone ever hear anything about winners? I just received an e-mail from Bud's that contained: Logging into the website shows me with an order for "1 x TISAS Classic 1911 45ACP 5 BROWN GRIPS $199.00? I wanted the 9mm or 12ga, but opted for all three. I was wondering if the .45 is...

Howdy guys. I'm about to order my first piece of steel to try steel knife making. I'm going with o1 steel. I thought I'd go ahead and get some brass rod for the pins and wanted to see what size you guys recommended. Thanks, John

I've got a nine year old nephew who is in need of a decent pocket knife. His father and both grandfathers have already given him knives, but they are of the cheap Pakistani type that most of us wouldn't give a second thought. I decided to go with a Sypderco Byrd Robin 2 with G10 Scales. I...

Every so often people here recommend for a person to get a mora knife. They usually push for the clipper/companion or one of the classics. The clipper is actually my go to knife for most outdoor tasks and I have also worked over a few deer with one, but I wanted to throw some attention towards...

After seeing Jorg's last slingshot video, the panther, I got to wondering if a slingshot like that would make a viable Bug Out Bag weapon. Its main use would be hunting small critters like rabbits and squirrels, but with strong bands I do believe that it could be a deadly weapon---with proper...

Howdy folks. I'm thinking about giving benchmade a try and figured a griptilian would be a good place to start. Any recommendations on where to find one for a good price and which particular model of griptilian you prefer? Thanks, mole

I went over to a new friend's house the other day and he decided to show me some of his goodies. He has a real fondness for Remington pocket knives. Here's just his pocket knives that are out for display. He's not against fixed knives. The top right one is his personal KaBar from...

How good is 420 steel? I've had a few knives with it and so far I'm not impressed. I've got a Gerber with 420. It's harder to sharpen than I like and doesn't keep a edge well enough for my tastes. I've got a Buck 119 that I believe is 420 as well, but the edge chips. My 8Cr13MoV steel...

I finished this up yesterday. Dacite blade with a Chinese Privet handle. The only modern tool used was my EDC shown in the picture. I used my EDC to widen the middle of the kerf in the hande for the lens shape of the blade because I got tired of breaking stone flakes. It's got a nice...

Bow discussions pop up every once in a while, so let's see what kind of bow people here like. I shoot wooden longbows that I make myself that range from 40-70 pounds with an 80 pounder in the works.

poll messed up

Are these axes by condor any good? My buddy is looking at getting the Condor Cruiser http://www.newgraham.com/detail.aspx?ID=7530 or the Condor Combat http://www.newgraham.com/detail.aspx?ID=7327 . Does anyone have any opinions about this company's product? Thanks, John

My father found this wrapped up in some of my grandfather's things. He asked to take these photos and ask you guys if you think it's real or fake. I think it is fake for two reasons. It has stamped on the blade "sometown Germany." If it was made in Germany for the German public, it wouldn't...

I just got a winchester model 47. It's a single shot bolt action that takes .22s, .22l, and .22lr. It's in pretty good shape with only a few dings in the stock and only needs to have the grease cleaned out of the action and barrel. I can't find any online references to this gun. Any info...

There have been a few posts about bows in the last few weeks here. I think all were concerning fiberglass recurves. This is to remind people of another/cheaper alternative. The wooden selfbow. Yesterday I got my girlfriend's sister to take a few photos of the bow I made for my girlfriend...

Sometimes grandmothers do something that is totally unexpected. Take my maternal grandmother for instance. She's a sweet little old lady...who happens to like some Kid Rock and Ozzy. Not what most little old ladies would chose for their listening pleasure, but definately some coolness points...

I had what I thought was a humorous encounter earlier today. My mother discovered that she like a particular sandwich from a particular resturant, so she called me on my cell phone and asked me to pick one up for her. Being the dutiful son I stop and pick one up. I was open carrying my pt92...

Greetings folks, I'm looking for information about my latest addition. It's stamped " MODEL 1892 -WINCHESTER- TRADE MARK REG. IN U.S.PAT OFF." The Barrel near the receiver is stamped "32 W.C.F.". The middle of the barrel is stamped "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN...

Howdy folks. I only shoot and own pump and break action shotguns. The father of a friend is wanting to sell his semi 12 gauge. I haven't seen it and all I know so far is that it is a Winchester semi 12 gauge that the friend said he thinks it has never been fired and his father wants $150 for...
