So, recently I picked up 1903A3 by Smith Corona for a hair under five picture of Benjamin Franklin. Seems to be alright, the wood is kinda shoddy, it's been rearsenaled (multiple Remington parts), has what appears to be the two groove 'war emergency' barrel, but the bore is just perfect. I...

So I have an old Iver Johnson Target Sealed 8 which has become unsafe to shoot. I've been gabbing on with my girl about what to do with it and she suggest the idea of a shadow box for it. Sort of like: (Yeah, zombies, love em or hate em) I was just curious as to what others did with their...

So, a question popped up while I was drooling over the 1911 picture thread. Why was the mainspring housing changed over to an arched design compared to the flat housing of the original incarnation? I mean, as far as I can tell, it wasn't a flaw in the original design because if that were...

I know it's a long shot but I'm hoping that members of this wonderful board could keep a lookout for a FEG PA-63 around the WY, CO (possibly others) areas. It seems it was stolen within the last 24hrs (7/28-7/29) from the Cheyenne area. I would give the serial number but it seems as though I...

So, with all sorts of hunting (except for small game) done and not a whole lot else to do I was hoping to get into some competition shooting. From my knowledge about what is what, it seems as though things along the lines of IDPA, practical rifle, and shillouette shooting are right up my...

So, overall today was an amazing day. My girlfriend and I were headed to the Denver Museum of Natural Science (who can resist dinosaurs?) when the subject of surviving the zombie apocalypse came up. A fun discussion, it's come up often as of late with her getting into shows like the...

So, the stress of getting ready for a CBP exam and an interview back to back was starting to get to me and I decided that I needed to get out and do something, anything, before I was gnawing off my own hand. The one thing that always seems to cheer me up is a range trip and in spite of...

So yesterday I walked into one of the local shops here and managed to find a fairly decent condition sealed 8 for a reasonable price. Not the prettiest nor the most fancy of wheelguns but I've been itching for one just to have around. Plus, it's dirt cheap to shoot! Everything was all and...

So, I found a Bubba'd 1917 in one of the local shops today and for a fair price I couldn't really resist plopping down the few bucks to put it on layaway (didn't have the full amount on me). I've been itching for one since I had to sell my old P-14. Anywho, it doesn't look too bad at all...

So I bounded all day around eastern Laramie county (WY) thinking that I'd thin out some of the cotton tail/jack rabbit population today. Was out there from about 8 to 5. Sun shining, slight breeze, and just being outside for the first time in a long while made it a good day overall...

So, myself and my folks just moved up to Cheyenne a little while ago. Weather's been no worse than CO, it's a bit more breezy, but overall not too bad. But, because I'm not quite familiar with the area yet I was wondering if fellow THR's could help me out a little. I've already found two...

I was just gorging myself on Battlestar Galactica and I couldn't help but think that I would love to see more Berreta CX4's and Vektor CP1's in all sorts of media of the like. So, I guess my question to you all is whether you have any favorites that seem to be sorely.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/21/world/africa/21rebels.html?_r=3&pagewanted=1 So, CJ Chivers is one of the few people that I've kept up with any sort of frequency over in the NY Times because he covers well, things that actually interest me. He covers in this article the nonstandard arms...

Apparantly one student (perhaps former) from my university couldn't handle the pressures of school and all that jazz, it got to him and now we've got a possible hostage situation at the apartment complex down the street from mine (which has a history of violence)...

So, I was flipping through a few posts as I usually do and something came to mind after following a few links today. It seems like a lot of the news stories now which get posted on the net, including things such as burglary, home invasion, and defensive shootings now has the exact address of...

http://www.cracked.com/funny-6719-gun-owners/ It's interesting to see that in recent times how the general populous has gone from 'OMG GUNS' to more or less an accepting attitude towards them. Now, this isn't meant to be something serious as a lot of other websites or whatnot concering...

http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/content/controversial-language-sen-evers-campus-guns-bill-removed So apparently OC and campus carry has been removed from the upcoming legislation here in FL. Sad day. The above quote irks me throughly. I'm sorry that he had to...

So, there's a friend of mine who wants to go to the range and all that jazz. Normally, no problem...normally. However back a good number of months ago she went to the hospital and said 'I'm suicidal with pain'. And they Baker Act'd her, big surprise. Basically she had become addicted to...

So, I'm in the process of turning my Winny 94 in 30-30 into my 'go to' gun. It was fine as it was in the original configuration but I've decided to add on a couple things to make it just a bit handier (sling swivels and a sling so far); however, I've ended up running into a couple questions...

So, my girlfriend is saying that she would like a throwing axe for Valentine's. I can't say that I'm complaining but I realized that I have no idea what I'm looking for...so I thought I'd solicit the help of you guys. If you could help me out on this one it would be great. Thanks in advance!
