    Mora Garberg with full tang

    MoraNaive Morakniv started ripping people off when they painted the HighQ Robust green, named it the Companion HD, and increased its price by 1/3rd. Then they launched the Bushcraft Black shtuff: the price here was half again as much as it should possibly be but some of it was even "tactical"...

    Ontario Knife Ranger Series Discontinued?

    I Don't Think It's That Simple Thanks HSO, but seven of the eight Ranger knives in your link are "out of stock," as were other models as well I looked for elsewhere, where some indeed also said "discontinued." I've seen OKC discontinue much overnight over the years. The more precise question...

    M7 vs M9 Bayonet

    M9 Junk, ACB Rules I would have to take the lighter M7 for it's better carbon steel that will take and hold an edge. The M9 is a cheap pry-bar subject to snapping. Hell, it's not even full tang! Best overall tool? Have and gone thru M-7's, M-9's, Ontario Army Special Purpose, the nice OKC...

    What exactly is a "truck gun?"

    Who Wouldn't Everyone Have a Truck Gun? What I originally coined a Trunk Gun (that's right -- it was me) is the kind of generic, all-purpose, go-to gun someone doesn't mind bouncing around in their vehicle and even losing. It is the "uh oh -- I might need a gun for some reasons (which are in...

    Ontario Knife Ranger Series Discontinued?

    I have kept a hefty OKC Ranger RD-9 in my "get home bag" for years. In starting to transition from that and a Soviet entrenching tool (which I'll give up except for Winter-times) to an (also discontinued) SOG Folding Shovel/Hand Axe/Folding Saw set with a stainless Morakniv Companion, I just...

    MSVTC Scottish Flintlock-Any experiences?

    I have a brace of SORTA those India-made Scot Murdock pistols -- those are the plain, military, cheap ones believe it or not. Mine have fancy barrels and a silver plate for monograms on the grip. Highland officers I believe actually got brass-framed pistols and the enlisted men, the rank and...

    Favorite Hickok45 Videos

    His Stuff Is Fun I Think Becasue HE Has Fun, But... Hickok is indeed a hick. He isn't a bright bulb and is not actually well informed for someone of his age, interest, with a government job that gives him the time and too much money to play with his (and others') gun collection and make...

    How many times have you heard a "gun jock" tell someone looking for a new gun...

    I've never heard anyone actually say anything as "assinine" as a .22 will only make it's target mad. I only see such nonsense on the internet. But it is also "dumbassery" to imply it is a rational self defense caliber. While it is better than nothing I more often see people elevate it...

    Harper's Ferry1803

    I don't know if it is the Army or NPS Dave... There were an extra 15 1803 rifles, the number of rifles sent to The Corp in St. Louis, that had to be made to meet the initial inventory required at Harper's Ferry. Why? There's no such thing as coincidence. Seems likely they used these .54's on...

    great video on proper terminology

    Eight-plus-minutes of "clip" vs. "magazine" isn't even "good" IMO. As for getting things right... LOL I was about to say the same thing after I watched his Garand video next: "Glad I hit that -- that was my last bullet." Hickok, Hickok, Hickok, you rube...

    Chiappa Double Badger

    I Ordered The Lil Badger... ...in .22 Mag. After many months the shop called and said it arrived. Made sense as the .22 Mag was to be a future offerring... Immediately I saw the box was the wrong shape. Opened it up, looked, and said "that's not the Lil' Badger (folding wire-stocked...

    Don't think you guys are reading this right, but why respond with "I never bid" anyway? OP -- the way you describe it of course there is a problem IF what you thought was your Max Bid wasn't a new bid somehow competing with yourself. They have some esplainin' to do Lucy! Oh -- and I...

    Connecticut gun owners line-up to register firearms

    What Good... ...is having a gun you can never take to the range or use to defend yourself? They'll move someday, maybe -- in the meantime, they are where they are. Some are balancing out what that means and hoping for the best. Give 'em a break. You also don't know what they're NOT doing...
