my wife and I might be going to hawaii for a while... and I wouldn't mind doing some pig hunting while I am there. My question is this: could a 7.62X54R be reloaded down quite a bit? I know this cartridge is likened to an -06, could it be brought down a generous amount? Why, you ask? Overall...

Recently my pa gave me a box of reloading goodies.... the whole smash... and powder... and other stuff. The list kinda looks like this: roughly 100 brass cases of .22 hornet (probly less of these) .270 (brand new) .243 and a good handful of .38/357 cases. Also a box of 30-30 brass...

I've been looking at 1911s recently and I wonder... on the back side of the grip, lower down, there seems to be a hard plastic grip right below the grip safety. Upon further inspection this seems to be removable. I don't personally care for the roughness of this grip, can you get...

hey yall... I've been thinking about canning the elk rifle idea for a while. Why? If my folks move soon (which is highly likely), I'll lose my area to hunt, my place to butcher, and my help. Also, if a dem'krat get elected (God forbid!) they prob'ly won't go after elk rifles. They will go after...

My dad gave me a Remmy 521-T over the last weekend... he knew I always wanted it, so it was a late Christmas present. The trigger has been...worked on. 1/8th inch distance pull, and maybe...ohh..say...1lb or less pressure needed? It's so light it's almost unsafe. I need a way to check...

Saw a recent THR member's post and it sparked my curiosity. What is your attitude when you see someone broken down, hitchhiking, walking away from a broken car, etc? This is assuming you have your piece on you, or in your car within reach but out of sight. OR maybe not...I'll do a poll with...

greetings all (and happy new year), The following happened to me over the Christmas weekend. My folks run a summer camp up in the CO mountains and were coming back from a vacation in Hawaii. My little brother was also back from college, so we headed up to my folks place a bit early to get...

hey all, up at my folks house, and my dad has a marlin 101 he's trying to find some info on. There is no marking on the rifle, save for the usual "Marlin firarms..." and the two letters "LG" Stamped on the barrel. Any way of know what year it is? any websites that might list this? Also...

6 mags, with two mag holders and a lovely Fobus holster... and mag holders from my SWCC buddy along with two more mags when he gets back from his honeymoon. So...a HUGE thanks to bp78, my supplier, and I might add, one heckuva seller. If he ever puts a 1911 up for sale, I'll be in some serious...

HUZZAH another CCW thread! Sorry. I read the other threads and got to thinking... I'm 6'1", 155 lbs. How does a skinny guy carry with out being terribly obvious? I can see sticking my wife's Bersa Thunder in an IWB no problem, but what about say, a P228, or something like that? Where do...

say that 3 times fast... so after reading the Wiki article on the Colonel, I have a question. Here's the code, pasted from the article. Does the condition black make more sense to add on there? Here is my reasoning for this question: Bad guy comes at you, dark parking lot, he's got...

Hey all... well I DID end up refinishing that Ruger I got... Before: During: http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img2994wj3.jpg After: I stripped it in the tub (better then on my deck, leaving a silhouette of a rifle stock on the stripped deck paint :evil: ) and all I can say it...

What is Coriolis and Magnus? I saw this in another post, and have seen it referenced by long range shooters... but what are these effects, and what do they do? Or is this a 3 month long class kind of question? :) thanks GP

I and my brothers are getting my dad a rifle for Christmas... my dad has a little WWII shrine in his office...books, photos, prints, radios and the like. What more perfect way to add to the collection then to add a nice WWII milsurp boltie in there...but which one? Enfield? Mosin? Mauser...

THAT is the question. I have a 10/22 that I just finished stripping the beat up finish off of. And I've bleached it a few times to boot...the old finish was...hideous IMHO. I've come to few realizations...this is NOT a great looking piece of wood by any stretch. But that doesn't mean I want it...

I am thankful this year for many things, but in the spirit of staying on topic here in this forum, I shall highlight a few gun related issues I am grateful for. I am grateful that I can own a gun, I can shoot it, heck, I can even buy ammo for it. But I am even more grateful for the country in...

I've decided against the AR for the time being. There's a number of reasons for this, but that's for another time. I want a Remington 700 in .308 I've narrowed it down to two, by price and features. contender el numero uno:The Standard...

So I picked it up today at long last. It's probably the only thing that went right today... moral of the story? BUY MORE GUNS. It's not as beat up as I remember it...still considering the camo jobbie on it tho. I did actually WANT it a little beat up so I wouldn't feel bad camoing it. I'd feel...

went to the gunshow this weekend... and finally decided to pull the trigger (*groan*) on a Ruger 10/22 that has seen it's share of the back of a pickup truck. I negotiated the price down to $125 for this gun in this condition: - stock is in fair shape, no deep dings or gashes. Definitely has...

my neighbor at my folks place is a bit of a nutcase. So...shooting quietly is better then not shooting at all. CB caps are good for only so far tho. So my questions are: From Start to Finish what is the basic outline of order of events to be able to legally buy and use a silencer for...
