    What did you score in 2023?

    I snagged a1964 Marlin 39 Carbine .22 at a gun show in the fall. I saw the lever sticking out of a rack and stopped to look at it and had no idea what I was holding. There were only about 12K made between’63 and ‘67. I walked away and my wife kept nagging me to buy it so I backed into a corner...

    Help me make sense of .308 ARs

    My AR-10 carbine isn't any louder than any other rifle. I certainly didn't notice any excessive noise when I shot three hogs with it in SC.

    Fellow deer hunters what gun are you using for deer season

    I'm going scopeless for deer this year. A couple of years ago I picked up a Marlin 336C in .30-30 for $159, I think. It was absolutely beat to hell. I cleaned it up and rebuilt it and added an XS rail with the ghost ring. It's shooting Federal 170 grainers at about 3 inches or so at 50 yards...

    What to carry into the woods?

    Absolutely, but I'm not hunting with it. That would not be legal. The Glock 20 I carry while hunting is for personal protection, not for putting down animals that I might shoot with other legal equipment. I will not go into the woods without a firearm in the area I hunt, particularly in...

    What to carry into the woods?

    Last year when I did a bear hunt in Maine, all the guides in camp carried some sort of .45 ACP with the Springfield XD being the most popular. One guide said he put down three bears with his after they had been shot by hunters. I seem to remember most of them were carrying 230 grain Remington...

    Bullseye powder

    Back in the day when I started reloading I found bullseye data for 10mm in one manual that I have. I don't remember the charge weight but I'm certain I didn't go over the max. I loaded up about 10 rounds at each charge weight starting from the bottom. On my third round the case head ruptured and...

    A merc strikes again!

    I had about a dozen amerc .45 ACP cases sneak into my stash of brass. Although they tumbled clean and ran fine through the press, not a single one if them would fit in my case length gauge. All of them got their bullets pulled immediately and the brass crushed and chucked into the recycle can...

    Found My New 10mm

    Yeah you did real good there. I picked up a 1006 about five months ago and I was out the door for almost double what you paid.

    About to get in trouble: Colt King Cobra or Smith 27-2?

    Ok. First post. It depends on what and how much you want to shoot. If you want to shoot a lot, you can't got wrong with the Smith 27. The King Cobra might not handle a steady diet of full power, heavy .357 loads. I shot mine loose and had it repaired twice and finally traded it away...
