    Anyone from Norway? Need help!

    Jealous here. My family is from there and I haven't been back since I was a little punk. For travel I recommend a healthy pen and a magazine that can be rolled up very, very tightly. My wife and I have have been trying out the "defender". It is fun, made of plastic and hides in a deep pocket...

    Blueing starting to spot

    A cool, damp night of hog hunting in Wisconsin and while I attempted to keep the rifle relatively dry, after a night of heavy fog and condensation I am noting some rust spotting/discoloration on the bluing of the barrel of my Marlin. I have currently a thick layer of oil on her as I figure out...

    pot patch

    Knowing nothing about growing said "weed", I was listening to a radio show when a guest talked about the non-sense of confiscating and burning of cultivated crop when "all they have to do" is introduce wild marijuana. The cultivated crop is off one sex and bred for its THC, whereas adding seeds...

    Fixed Blade

    Having been a Benchmade fan for years I eagerly ordered the Rant online from Bass Pro Shops. Upon delivery I found myself looking at something I spent way too much money on. The blade looks like it is a hunk of galvanized guard rail and the handle is a chunk of rubber. It takes and holds an...

    Northern Illinois Gunsmiths?

    The Gun Doctor, but short notice could be an issue. You could try Tim at Heartland in Oswego, but I know he gets quite busy as well. As for the legality of a machine shop, so long as you hand a machinist the rifle, and not ship it, everything should be dandy...or am I missing something?

    BP-Illinois Law stuff

    Having gotten my father, who lives in Northern Wisconsin, excited about BP, so on a small trip earlier this week from the windy city area I stopped off at a Gander Mountain north of Milwaukee to get him some supplies. Lo and behold they had a nice .44 cal BP revolver. Ah, no waiting period in Wi...

    It is amazing how fast our legislative body can move when they are motivated. Unfortunately, they always seem to be wrongly motivated.

    Illinois / NFA question

    Not sure of anything...even an '07 ffl' or 'sot'. In cursory understanding of Illinois law, NFA, such as suppressors, are not allowed.

    Illinois / NFA question

    At the ISRA open range day back a month, one of the manufacturers had brought a suppressed rifle or two for demo. The lines were long so I just hung out for a bit before heading over to the black powder area, but this got me thinking...Whoever brought those suppressors either have special...

    Coyotes prowl for pets in rural area

    walking the dogs... Walking the dogs for us involves honing our tracking and awareness skills so we know when and where not to cross. In the case that we do come across one of the bastards the Labrador wants to play and the Newfoundland wants to be the alfa. Not a good mix. Thanks to the...

    Hopkins & Allen Stock

    Hey everybody... I have been looking for a stock and forend for an H&A #722 without much luck. The plinker has some serious sentimental value and before I break out the rasps-of-doom I wanted to throw out to this group to see if anybody has these tucked in box on a shelf in deepest, darkest...

    Illinois: Proposed Gun Registration in Cook Co.

    we call him Urkel... A lady friend, who lives in Chicago and works for Crook County, had some home security issues with a neighbor. When she approached her co-workers they all said "get a gun." Who were her co-workers? Sheriff deputies, public defenders, state prosecutors and county judges...
