I am looking for a place to buy a lever action shotgun. What brand is a good one? I have a couple of old winchesters but can not handle smokeless powder. I am looking for a modern one that looks like those that I can use. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

People get mauled by bears in Alaska every year, probably the same in Yellowstone. I know several people who have been charged by black bear and brown bears. I even witnessed a group of tourists on the side of the road get charged by a brownie while taking pics. I have had them follow me through...

I work in a business that solves problems for people by doing a lot of trouble shooting. No pun intended haha. But I have to ask the obvious first. Its amazing how many people overlook the obvious problem for something else. I know you said the box says .308 win, but does the casing say it as...

Something definitely does not sound quite right. Did the ammo come with gun? Is it the correct ammo? Right cartridge and caliber? Did somebody reccomend this ammo? Is it factory or reloads? Take the ammo and gun to a reputable gunsmith see what they say. The bullet may be way to long to seat...

The .416 Rigby with a short barrel kicks like a mule. What are my options to lessen the beating on the backside of this style gun. Is there internal recoil reducing components for a bolt action? What does magnaporting do? Is there a certain brand or style recoil pad that helps? Are there other...

So Mac, what your saying is that if I want my action and barrel done I should do it in the Tg1. And I can do my stock and other parts in tg2. I am just looking for clarification. I am in the process of researching to building a custom large bore brush gun used mainly in the northwest rainy areas...

Quick question. I know this is about coating mags but what about doing all the metal on a gun with powder coating? Is that possible? Does it hold up to the heat on a barrel? I know people have the exhausts done on cars. Is there any problems that can arise from this? Like heat retention on the...

I love the Ruger rounds, haven't had the opportunity to shoot one but the ballistics look good on them. I have checked out a couple of .416 Taylor builds. Maybe I just need more than one custom gun. I think a .50 would be awesome. I am leaning toward three guns right now. The .416 Rigby, .375...

That's too bad. Those old guns are cool. It could have been much older than you think and worth much more than expected too. If the wood is in good shape even with the bluing worn off they can go go pretty high depending on age and caliber too. Length of barrel changes the price as well. If its...

If you look around and do a little research you can pick up a model .94 Winchester for a good price. Look for the older Marlins with the half cock safety on them. You should be able to find a nice Savage as well. If you watch closely check out classifieds and pawn shops. Ask a lot of questions...

What about stocks? Some sort of composite or walnut, maybe laminated. How about a muzzle break? What type of sights? What seems to work best? I do like a peep sight but not in the rain.

I have shot toward a charging cow moose, not at it. Only wanted to stop the attack not kill it, it worked long enough to make as getaway. Have also pulled out on a human to protect myself and my children. No shots fired but definitely got the point across. also while hiking have gotten that...

I have a Marlin .444 lever action. I enjoy hunting with it. Been thinking about cutting it down to a guide model.

I don't mean to poke my nose in but I didn't see the original post claiming a "requirement" for a way of life. In the United States we have a right to carry. Does that mean we can carry only one, only two, only three, only 100. As best as I can tell a person can carry as many as they like or...

I have operated the bolt several hundred times last night and it definitely seems smoother and less noisy. There is a small amount of creep on the trigger. It doesn't feel much stiffer than my model 70 trigger which has been worked on. It is getting a trigger job for sure.

Hey wileypete. The dog did not get lead poisoning because of it. The owner wanted to fight me. I have dogs myself and they are part of the family, I am sure every decent human does. Luckily my daughter did not receive any permanant scars physically. But it chewed her arm up pretty good. My Son...

I know of a man walking from his home to his neighbors on a gravel road just outside the city limits Soldotna Ak. He was carrying a .454 casul. He heard a rustling in the bushes. He had enough time to pull his gun a and get one shot off. The 1000 lb. Brown bear literally fell at his feet. If...

AZ mike, I completely agree. Nothing like seasoning a warm meal for a charging bear like pepper spray in the face. Here in AK the bears always say "send more tourists, the last ones were delicious".

I live in Alaska. We have very large and dangerous game here. I don't leave the side of the road without packing something. Even kids on their way to school are at risk of being trampled by a stubborn moose. If I am just walking with my family around the block or a power line I carry a...

I would agree with you rbernie, I have been looking it over very closely. It appears most of the stiffness is coming from the rear of the bolt. I personally am not equipt for doing this job but I have a gunsmith I like to take my guns to. Its probably not too difficult to do but I haven't done...
