    Ernest Shackleton's Rifle

    Having read the books about Ernest Shackleton's exploration and misfortunes in antarctic I became very curious about the rifle he carried. At times they shot seals and penguins for food, and defended themselves from leopard seals. From what I can find in references the rifle was a Winchester...

    New Ruger Vaquero Montado

    Hi guys and gals, There's a lack of pics of the Ruger New Vaquero Montado on the web so I figured I'd post mine. I got lucky and checked the Davidson's website when they had 2 .45cals in stock. I picked it up from my FFL yesterday. It's a very good looking gun. The grip is not as roomy as...

    Question about flying with gun

    Hi all, I have flown multiple times with multiple airlines and checked my shotgun in its locked case when I go home for a hunt. It's some variation of the same routine, show that it's unloaded, fill out the card and lock the card in with the case. Well this time I flew Delta, the employee had...

    Pawn gun buyers

    Do you all only shop at "mom and pop" pawns? All I ever see in Houston is the chain, EZ Pawn. And they are always located next to the check cashing store, and liquor store. Not the place where I would expect to find some jewel from 1960's, just a lot of Hi-Points (no offense Hi-Pointers)...

    .38spl leading issue in GP100

    Such thing as too much tumbling?

    I did a search on "how long to tumble" but couldn't find any time frames. Is it overkill to leave my brass tumbling overnight? It's about 60 pieces of .45colt in a basic Frankford Arsenal bowl style tumbler.

    I don't understand open carry

    I'm trying to look at it from different angles but I can't figure it out. Is the idea that you can carry a bigger gun that is hard to conceal otherwise? Is it that you can draw faster? I know some people will say "because I have the right to" but I'm genuinely looking for the practical...

    870P gets some play in Rambo 2

    I rented Rambo 2 the other day and watched it for the first time in a while. There is a good shoot em up scene on a boat with a Remington 870P with the metal top folding stock. Yeah, overdramatic, but cool nonetheless. Also some MP5, AK, Mac-10 or 11? (his pretty vietnamese contact uses)...

    Racist diatribe on NBC..

    I suppose NBC had good intentions when they let comedian Mike Meyers and rapper Kanye West do a spot to promote the Hurricane Relief Concert, but in it Kanye spilled forth with ignorance and racism in a time of tradegy. I wish "famous" people would think about the consequences of their...
