    Slug Hunting

    The guys I hunt with who use smoothbores like the brenneke slugs. They're cheap, effective, and they have found them to be quite consistent. Like Dave says, buy a box of a few different kinds and find which one your gun likes best. In other news, my rifled barrel for my 835 really...

    Pump Action

    As a fellow "Big Guy" (6'4" and getting ever closer to 300#) I REALLY like the 835. It seems to fit me better than most other pumps I've handled, and everyone else who shoots it seems to comment on how large it feels. It may just be a perception stemming from the way the gun is set up, but it...

    My 835 is 'dropping' shells...

    You know, I'd like to think that I wasn't the problem, but I'm open to the idea. I'll have to see if there's any way to get the shell *almost* in, where it would stay, but isn't behind the shell stop. Doesn't the elevator move to the "down" position pretty early in the pumpstroke? I was...

    My 835 is 'dropping' shells...

    I have a Mossberg 835 that is about 6 years old. It is my go-to gun. I use it for duck, pheasant, deer, geese, HD, sporting clays, black bear and skeet. It gets used- a lot. Last night on the skeet field, it chucked a shell out the bottom when I cycled the action on a double. Broke the low...

    Will NICS deny for a juvenile felony?

    OK, I know another guy with the sheriffs dept. I'll give him a call and have him run it. Looks like a craps shoot. I guess we'll see.

    Will NICS deny for a juvenile felony?

    I have a friend who I introduced to shooting a couple months ago. He's 26, but plead to a felony juvenile assault charge to avoid being tried in adult court. The whole thing was kind of kangaroo from the get-go, and he figured it best to keep it on the juvie record, and plead out. Anyway-...

    Can you kill a groundhog with a Pellet?

    I've taken 2 woodchucks on my parents land. One with a .22lr at about 35 yards, and another with a .45 at about 15 yards. The .22 shot left a pretty good blood trail, but the 'chuck managed to scurry up under the foundation of the barn before he expired... he made a pretty healthy stank for a...

    Pro Gun Blog...recommendations?

    well, my favorite blog is written by a pro-2A guy, although all topics are certainly not 2A, there is a pro-2A bent to the discussion. If you haven't read it, http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/ will keep you entertained for hours the first time you read it. You may have seen LawDog around...

    no john bolton un?

    What the u.n. (uncapitalized on purpose) NEEDS, is an eviction notice. Why we continue to grant this useless, anti-american organization legitimacy is beyond me. kick the bums out.

    Springfield Armory XD .45 ACP - 5" Tactical

    Be careful in considering the slip-on for the XD. It's got a grip safety, and depending on where you placed the sleeve, they might interfere. Just a thought.

    Any good gun related novels?

    "Term Limits" by Vince Flynn is the first in a series of 8 or so novels. I've read 6 of them since 4th of July weekend... and I haven't read a book since college!

    Welcome Back, Mr. Nightcrawler

    Either of you guys ever read Vince Flynn? The switching-point-of-view style reminds me of his writing style. In fact, this thread inspired me to read some spy fiction, and since the thread started, I've read Term Limits, Transfer of Power, Third Option, Separation of Power and Executive Power...

    I got a call from paypal today at my family's retail establishment. They want me to sign up as a vendor who accepts their form of payment. I listened to the whole schpiel about everything they could do for me, how little they would charge me, and how everything I could ever need would be...

    WI: State Assembly to vote for CCW veto override (watch the action)

    AJ- I'm haing a little trouble deciphering what you mean here. You certainly DON'T want texas-style posting laws. The model of MN (while certainly flawed) works well for those of us who choose to "not notice" postings. In TX, my understanding is that if you carry past a 30.06 and get...
