    Not again.......! Feral Hog Control in East Texas

    "Shoot the dog"? Man, that poor animal can't read. The TOT animal control makes sense, shooting it lacks even common decency! I once knew a fellow that had several pure bred walkers that got on a private parcel shot by a screwball landowner.....that fella was later was surprised to find...

    ever wore out any spring in a gun?

    I've replaced some dramatically worn and shortened recoil springs in a Garand but the singular failure I've ever experienced was a snap in two event in my NAA .22. Have seen a lot of battered 19ll's that also evidenced that shortened and worn spring issue.

    Loading Brass Shotshells with Blackpowder

    Josh: Far as your concern about the corrosive impact on your shells goes I'd suggest you toss 'em in a container with common laundry soap....agitate it to clean and then drain and dry on a low heat in your oven. They'l discolor, but you will remove any of the residue and if you want to...

    Loading Brass Shotshells with Blackpowder

    My Grandfather left me an old single that he bought new in the late 1800's......I HAVE shot smokless hi brass stuff in it, but never felt quite comfortable...mine's fluid steel, but given the era of manufacture, only God knows what sort of formulation it might be. With that in mind I...

    mountin man shoots finger off

    Y'know, aside from the nose pickin' disability it seems it might've been a good idea to save that digit and mount it like a rabbits foot...........sure would make an interesting conversation piece.

    Jack Russells for hunting

    A JR will do all you desire and quite a bit more. An old fellow that hunted alone on a deer lease I once was a member of used them exclusively to hunt wild hogs. He'd ride the roads in our club till he found a track.....turn out the JR's and it usually wasn't long before they bayed one...

    PatoC.....,J. Beard in his work, Hawken Rifles, illustrates via photo several ML (smoothbores) guns regulated via muzzle cutting. From what I can tell the muzzles are cut to the opposite of the center of the coupled bbls. Believe the books out of print now but you ought to be able to find...

    Just a reminder. Take care of your gear.

    I dunno about all the reliability factor claims insofar as using time for lithium batteries..... As my handle hereon suggests I run dogs....walker hounds specifically....and I use one of the Garmin co.'s satellite trackers to try to keep up with these wide ranging dogs. I initially tried...

    McCain Bill Destroys Historic WWII Firearms

    Classic example of a politician who's been in office TOO, TOO long. I simply cannot understand just how, in a state like Arizona, that he can keep getting elected........Mayhaps have the Califoricators taken over there too?

    Family Plans to Destroy Stockpile of Inherited Guns and Ammo Worth Millions

    May MR. Lash rest in peace! What he shoulda done was leave BOTH the guns and the money to the NRA or CalGuns foundation.......... Betchaall that that bunch of LD's or progessives won't torch the cash!

    Protection from Animals

    That is an utterly correct statement on cottonmouth's.......irritate one and he WILL try to sink a fang in you. Riding with a friend down a dirt road with a deep ditch on the side...snake crawled out in roadway in our front and my erstwhile snake hating driver decided he'd stop and use his...

    Understanding Florida's concealed carry law

    EMB, you can be falling down drunk while carrying your gun.....just as long as it is not in your 'manual' possession............literally in your hand.......re read the statute.

    Synthetic stocks on shotguns

    I clearly recall several .22/410 combo's from the 1950's with plastic furniture.......As I remember tho the stuff did not hold up well.

    DNC Platform Committee Member Says Nobody ‘Should Have A Gun’

    And Sam, it is highly unlikely that one could EVER persuade the hard core anti movement to even consider the firearm rights issue as legitimate. Better we spend our time and resources in 'eternal battle' with that thought process than trying to deal with it from the perspective of cold hard...

    Finished full flap Single Six holsters

    Nice work and nicely finished. Picky critter that I've become tho I'll offer you one suggestion.....get one of the convex rivet setters for the backside of those things.......I use the same item on my dog collars and it really makes a difference in appearance, smoother too..............I have...

    Hi. I'm old and went through basic in 1959.

    I went thru basic four years after you, used a Garand and never once saw any ammunition that in any fashion indicated it was reloaded. Further, first pcs was at first Garands & shortly thereafter 14's....again never any reloads. Also shot match grade 14's in competition and ALL the ammo we...
