I was wandering around the Dallas Safari Club Convention and stopped to chat with the Hornady reps for a while. I noticed they had a letter sized ad poster for the z-max. I grabbed a copy and threw it in a cheap frame I had lying around. Who knows maybe some descendant of mine will end up on...

I agree why would one pay 10-15k for something built by what seems to be amateur gunsmiths who've been forced to stay up all night (you can get a pair from Taylor firearms with the cody-matic tuning for around 1200). The good smiths and engravers i've had the chance to meet or get to know...

I agree with going ahead and finding a job. It is tough out there right now so if something good turns up don't just snub it to wait for the 'perfect' gig. That said don't let it stop you from applying. All the major players will have an employment section on their website. If there is an...

There are modern auto's I would trust on reliability. I still prefer pump in those situations because 1) I am most familiar with it. 2) I feel it is more user friendly/reliable in such situations. Explanation for #2 - In and excited state it is much easier to chamber a round by grabbing...

The last 590 box I saw said Maverick - Eagle Pass. That was about a year ago I think. It could just be a distribution point or something I'm not sure. I believe the barrel still said CT. It could be one of those things where they are assembled/distributed from different shops at different...

my personal preference Mossberg 500. They usually have good deals on their field/security combo in synthetic and wood your choice. I suggest the combo for those that don't already have something since you get the 18.5" barrel for hd and the 26 or 28" for everything else. 870 is a great...

Little off topic but for those that do have a 2 9/16 chamber and end up shooting 2.5" like I do... I've found unexpectedly that Westly Richards has about the best price year round and will load them however you like. $99 per case. I haven't found anything cheaper and when I do they aren't...

In my experience those that spout off on this subject wouldn't have the nerve to pull a trigger even if their life actually depended on it. Not all but most are just hot air lol. My 2 cents and a bagel will leave you with a bagel lol.

my fav shop and indoor range has a sign that says something along the lines of "firearms must be unloaded and in a case", but it is well understood and implied by their employees that this doesn't apply to CHL holders. If its concealed its concealed, they don't know, they don't care. They have...

I've emailed myself and there are 3 stores i frequent depending on where i am in town. At all 3 I've pulled the manager over for a conversation and let them know that as long as that is their stance they've got all my coffee business hot and beans as long as that is their stance and asked them...

Nick +1, i think think everyone cocking their glocks on tv is a hoot. Especially those that sound like a colt saa. wow! he just thumbed back that glock and it had 4 clicks lol. The only thing that every bothers me is the misinformation written in by obvious anti's. Otherwise just the silly...

So when/where/from whos training did 2nd strike capable semi-autos suddenly become important? It seems like thats in every review of a new one these days whether it will do it or not. It kinda of flies in the face of tap,rap,bang no? I realize that started and is the only sensible option for...

As long as I'm staying aware of everything I don't feel undergunned. Despite what society would have us believed most people that are up to something at the given time and place DON'T have a stone cold demeanor. Know who everybody is and why they are there. I have no problem walking away...

Great discussion thanks for the feedback everybody! And to JR- yes it was one cranky turkey! The old man a few houses down raised them. He'd told us if that tom gave us any more trouble just to handle it, which it what ended up happening. We did take it back to him so he could eat it. That...

Ok so I'm going to show my ignorance of turkey hunting... An old curiousity came back to mind today as Midway & Cabelas both blasted out turkey season e-fliers. I've shot one turkey years ago that was terrorizing the neighbor kids and if memory serves it was a single shot 16ga with probably...

I rent a small box (normal po box size) at a local UPS Store for the reason mentioned by the OP as well as not being at home when the apt office is still open to actually get my stuff and to top it off I don't have to worry about UPS or Fedex leaving high value items out randomly in front of the...

i found a m44 about a year ago, stock was pretty rough so i ended up talking the guy into giving me it and a synthetic stock to fit it for 65. I think those stocks alone list around that price if I remember correctly lol

6' even 330lb Comptac C-Tac gets a lot of carry with XD 5" .45 & one for 1911. Ruger LCP & SP101 get a lot of pocket carry. Don Hume pocket holsters The iwb holsters like the c-tac and similar from other makes are nice since the cant can be adjusted by having one clip high/lower than...

Colt made a revolving shotgun long ago and maybe others that i don't recal. There is a russian company that makes them up to 12gauge but they start at like 10K+ I forget their name. I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat just cause lol. I am curious about how they are dealing with the blast...

thanks rc! I'll give that a check too. I had wondered that. I'm not sure how accurate my eyeball is but it definately has more gap than my the rugers and smiths, so I'll dig around for my guages and see. Any one recommend good reading material on cleaning up a double action sear?
