I am in the process of refinishing an Ithaca M37 for a friend that was badly rusted. I have its polished (took some work) now's its time to finish it and I find myself in a situation. He wants to put no more than $50 in the gun. Cold bluing I am told will not hold up well. Hot bluing I am...

I recently picked up a rifled slug barrel for my nova. Still working through ammo testing, although I used the 3in 1 oz barnes expander load last weekend. Love that load but plan to test the high velocity expanders, and the win platinum tip and partition gold slugs in the future. The only thing...

After hearing about it on another forum I did some checking and learned that Ithaca is making cantelever slug barrels for the Remington 870 and I think 1100, Browning BPS and Gold, and the Benelli Nova. Priced right at around $150. Called home to dad to dicuss logistics, and we both came to the...

Does anybody have any real data on the .204 Ruger? Balistics compared to the .223 maybe? Drop, wind drift, and energy out to say 500 yards? Expected barrel life based on hard info? I find the cartridge mildy interesting other than I feel Hornady based it on the .222 simply to force people to buy...

While in the Czech Republic I saw something that warmed my heart and I think you will like it two. If you see this before Skunkabilly gets the pics posted (thanks Skunk) then check back, its worth it. Matt

I got a pleasant surprise in my Criminal Justice recitation this week. This week was the third week of class and one of the topics of discussion was guns and crime. At the beginning I was a bit leery of how this will go. The Teachers Assistant seems like a pretty nice gun but I didn't know his...

Now for something different. Lets pretend you are out with one of your firearms and it all goes south. The situtation is: you have one (yes, only one) firearm and have to bug out without the possiblity of obtaining any of your others. The question is.....What firearm do you own that you wish...

ultility rifle I am looking to purchase a rilfe for my father. Rifle will be used for a truck rifle and once a year for prairrie dogs. All method of prairrie dog hunting does not favor heavy barrels as we do a lot of walking at the place we shoot. They rifles I am thinking about are. Savage 16...

I am thinking about taking the plung into the handgun world. Currently the only one I have is a Browning Buckmark, which I wish now that I had picked up a Ruger Single Six instead of. Right now I have two buddies I could pick up a used handgun from. One is Highpower Mark II with 2 ten round...

Was in a shop the other day and somehow managed to resist temptation. What was temting was an 870 deer gun with monte carlo stock and cantelever barrel with a 2.5 X Burris scope for $329. Condition was very good, but I would prefer the 24 inch barrel (it was 18.5) and getting an 870 would...

Well, the last deer season ended here in Iowa today. Actually it ends tomorrow but the tags are filled so my season is over. First shotgun season really didn't treat us extremely well. My father good a call the night before from a guy wanting to look at cows. Unfortunatly it was one of those...

Last week one of my best friends was home on leave and as he hadn't gotten to do any hunting we decided to go out for the last weekend of pheasant season. Bird numbers were down again in South East Iowa but we headed to our lucky spot figuring we would have to see at least see one bird. We got...
