    Lower Cost AR - Anderson Mfg?

    I built an AR based on Anderson receivers that were given to me as Christmas and birthday presents (Christmas and birthday are days apart). I didn't build using all premium parts but the trigger and barrel were improvements. CMC single stage trigger and Shilen heavy SS barrel. Also a free...

    What grips for the little lady?

    Bought a Model 60 round butt for the wife long ago and she has never liked it. Even with light loads. In her defense, she is little! 5 foot, 100 lbs. shoots a Ruger Lcp and MK 2 easily but I would like for her to use the 38 for, just in case. Any grips out there which would help. We have tried...

    Best Weapon for Home Defense against Home Invasion?

    I live in a relatively safe, small town but just a short drive to Houston. Every once in a while the Yahoos from that area decide our little burg would be a good place to cause mayhem. For those guys I have pistols and a couple shotguns strategically placed in the downstairs area. All can be...

    Building a pistol

    "Just keep in mind that between parts and tools, you'll likely spend more than a production gun would've cost. You could probably save costs, and some trouble, if you have a firm idea of what you want to build and plan it out ahead of time. Of course, with projects like these, saving money isn't...

    .50 Beowulf complete upper

    There are military specs for the ar-15. Most aftermarket parts are made to military specs due to the wide market for them and should fit ARs from most manufacturers.

    Liability of Carrying

    I took the CCW class a few years ago, also in Texas, and the things the instructor said were scary indeed. Not so much about the legal aspects of the CCW law but in the civil suits that can and have come about after a self defense shooting where the perp was shot. Whether deceased or not. The...

    Life must be hard when your stupid.

    I have used my 3 1/2" Gerber for over 25 years and the only person it has stabbed is me! I use it multiple times daily, from cutting my steaks and opening my beer when the little tab breaks off, to its being used on the job, homestead and most anyplace I may be. The "locking blade' is the...

    One Real Gun In The House

    I've known two people who were killed with a .22. One with a revolver. The other, with a rifle. I personally wouldn't want to get shot with even a .22, much less a 38 spec. and a lot of criminals seem to feel the same way. But then there the occasional crazy who will carry on with their mayhem...

    Snow again! No photos but it has snowed here on the Texas coast twice this winter! Once earlier, in December when we got a couple inches, and again this past Tuesday where it melted immediately on hitting the ground, except for the stuff that stuck to the tarps that were covering the orange...

    Mental health win in PA

    I realize , now, that by using the word Californica that I may have offended some people who live in that state. That was not my intention. It was only to display disgust at the current disregard for the personal rights given to us by our forefathers in the second amendment and what I see as a...

    ? For Those With Some Age Behind Them ?

    Huh? What did you say? Like a lot here, I can remember what happened 25-30 years ago, though it may not jibe with what others remember. But I sometime can't remember what was said or why I went to the garage or upstairs for 5 minutes ago. And life goes on!
