    Hurt Shoulder?

    Every month or so we see a new thread about a fella in the market for a new gun, one of the qualifiers is that it must be easy on the shoulder due to previous injury. I think outdoorsmen are especially prone to shoulder injury, and it's no joke, significantly tearing your rotator cuff will have...

    In case of emergency

    Last night our friends were over for dinner on the patio, as the weather was fantastic. After a few beers, this fella starts talking about his Navy Seal/CIA Operator uncle who recently passed (yawn, smile, nod). Apparently this man was a collector, and when he was no more, his wife didn't want...

    IED Threat in your hometown

    Heres a good one, city cops bought a new IED resistant SWAT truck. I don't know why they need it in Cali, .50 cals are banned now. ;) Have a good chuckle to start the day. http://videos.modbee.com/vmix_hosted_apps/video/1522653 BTW: It adds to the hilarity that Modesto is a dopey little...

    90gr .223 loads for HD

    Quick question: 1 in 9" will not sufficiently stabilize a 90gr projectile in an AR-15 for target shooting. But, what about home use, wouldn't it stand to reason the heavier projectile would be more desirable? For shorter distances where more ballistic energy could be beneficial? Would...

    Philly call to action (the poll)

    The Philly Chief has asked for 10,000 black men to help patrol the streets. Would you help your city if you were asked? If it required you to be unarmed would you? It's a mult. choice poll, if you are between two answers, pick both.

    357sig loaded with 77gr bullets

    I want to press some 357sig rounds loaded with MagTech 77gr bullets. Anybody try it? On paper I could get between 1800-1900+ fps, getting the crimp on to the meat of the bullet while keeping a decent OAL would probably be a beast. I love screaming, flamethrower pistol rounds! 1900 fps? How...

    SigArms Military deal

    Don't know if this has been around here yet, but looks like a good deal for those guys who are affiliated with any military or federal agency. $609 for a new P220 or P229 is a steal.

    The joys of obscure calibers

    Anybody else here have an obsession for obscure rounds? Do you have a rifle that caused you to trade a kidney just to get a 20rd box of ammo, for the casings? My latest fetish has been the 9.3x74r, though I have never/will never hunt the African plains. Some thing about uncommon ammo is just so...

    Shocking revalations, .30-06 vs. 7mm Rem mag

    Hello fellow powder monkeys, I'm having trouble picking a new cartridge (rifle). Due to plenty of wonderful bullet choices I've narrowed it down to a 7mm Rem Mag and a .30-06. I've always despised anything with "Mag" attached to the end of it, and I think I have evidence of why that word...

    Minimum Velocity for Trophy Bonded Bearclaw

    Hello, two-fold question here: Got wind of some large hog tracks/sightings and jumped the gun a bit, I bought a box of .308 200gr Speer Trophy Bonded Bear claws. Being the hillbilly that I am, I will use these premium bullets in my MN 91/30 (7,62x54r). The Hodgdon max load for that cartridge...

    Hunting on cattle land

    Quick question for the salts around here: Just got permission to hog hunt on a BIG cattle ranch (woods/creeks/pastures/ponds), what is the etiquette for taking game around cattle? I don't want to spook any and have them run through fences or whatnot. I go scouting this weekend, then it's...

    Knife collectors: ID help with Eagle head Knife

    Here is a knife that has been in my family for at least 40 years, no idea where it came from. Grandfather had it in his barn, I found it when I was young and he had been dead for some time. Handle material is a white metal (Alum, Mag, Zinc?), which is very strange, probably puts the age at...

    Eating Unborn Game

    This has never happened to me before and by the odds of it I probably should have seen this by now. I Killed an 80 pound pig (clean), was full of young. It was too heavy to carry the carcass and the young as it was a couple mile walk back. So I left the young. Does anybody have a good way to...

    Would you buy one of these?

    I always thought this was the perfect accessory for an M4. Thought I'd see if anybody else liked these, then maybe we'll call Mark Serbu if there is enough of us. :D Would you want an 18" (or shorter for a small "donation") shotgun attached to your AR-15? Obviously varmint accuracy would...

    Bullet Shopping Etiquette

    I try to hit up one of the local shops every once and a while, I get most of my supplies of the interweb but I like to go local for small amounts of powder and primer to save a bit on Hazmat shipping. My local store has a decent supply of bullets, many odd weights and sizes, which I enjoy...

    Shimming sear on 91/30

    Last night I shimmed the sear on my 91/30, I didn't have enormous expectations but I figured the trigger would get better. I can't tell the diff. I shimmed all the way until the sear would not engage then backed off apprx .005". What gives? Anyone else try this with results? Instructions...
