I love Chris Muir's Day by Day cartoon, and I know a lot of other readers of this forum do as well. Updates daily. Very funny. Very pro-gun, very conservative without drinking the Republican party Kool-Aid. Almost libertarian, so it's right up my alley. In fact, if I recall correctly Mr. Muir...

From The Onion. Former Marine Sniper Slapped With 3,000-Yard Restraining Order MACON, GA—Citing Emily Holman's right to feel safe traversing vast open spaces, especially when within visual range of clock towers, parking structures, and tall buildings, a judge awarded the 28-year-old a...

Brownells sells a Barrel Nut Wrench for Remington 7400's, but they want $27 bucks for it. I realize it's a handy-dandy little item and everything, but $27 bucks seems almost absurd for something that simple, and something I'll only use two or three times in a given year. Can anyone suggest a...

http://www.newsobserver.com/102/story/461184.html The Raleigh News & Observer is usually a little more left-of-center than I'm comfortable with, but I was really impressed with their work on this article - especially the parts about the positive influence that shooting can have on kids...

For the last few months I've been watching the gun auction sites for decent deals on a Springfield M6 Scout. I was hoping to nab one of the stainless steel versions before the price shot up, but unfortunately (and predictably, I guess) when Springfield discontinued the line, the prices went...

My best friend and I do a lot of camping/fishing trips on our kayaks. Typically, we choose about a 40-mile secluded section of river, then spend 4 or 5 days kayaking and fishing along the route. We'll paddle and fish all day, and then pull to the bank and make camp when it starts to get dark...

I accidentally let my NRA membership lapse for a few months last year. Yeah, I know... they'd obviously sent me reminders and urgent notices and such, but they send me a metric ton of mail every month, and most of it seems to carry urgent and dire warnings of impending doom (which can only be...

I was enjoying a cup of coffee this morning and reading through Jeff Cooper's latest commentary. He has a few thoughts in there on what criteria make a person a "good shot", and that got me thinking about the best shot I've ever personally seen. I decided to type up the story and toss it up...

After today's trip to the mailbox, I've been thinking... considering the skyrocketing costs of energy, I believe I'm going to conduct an experiment. I'm going to see if it's possible to get through the entire winter of 2006-07 heating my home solely by burning catalogs from Cheaper Than Dirt...

I've been thinking a lot about pistol recoil lately. I'll freely admit to being a relative novice (relative to most of you guys, anyway) when it comes to pistols. I own a couple, and I enjoy shooting them, but I have always been (and probably always will be) primarily a rifle and shotgun guy...

Before I get into this I should probably explain that I'm kind of new to this whole 'range' thing. I'm from a very rural part of West Virginia, but I live in a very non-rural area of North Carolina now. (my wife decided that regular paychecks were a good thing - go figure) Back home, when you...

There's a thread right now in one of the THR Handgun forums called "How many of you have done something stupid?" That started me thinking about my long history of doing stupid things, entirely too many of which involved firearms, and I thought folks might get a kick out of this story. One...

I come seeking assistance from the THR gun-gurus. :) I need to identify this pair of .22 rifles, and would greatly appreciate any information anyone can offer on either one of them. Stamp on left side of the buttstock is a round seal with the text SAd.NASDP. On the left side...

I've got a pre-64 (probably purchased in the early '50's) Winchester Model 37 16ga. shotgun I'm trying to restore. It was my father's first gun, and unfortunately he gave it to my sister's husband, who apparently put it away in the attic and never touched it for about 15 years. (jackass) The gun...
