My favorite 29 variant for a hunting gun is the 8 3/8" 629 DX. Mine shoots better than I can hold it, and the deer have not complained.

Burris scopes are also lifetime guarantee and are made in the USA. Although since they were acquired by Beretta, I understand they are using some foreign made lenses.

I actually have the plain Jane S & W Model 10 that one of my uncles used to commit suicide. His wife did not want it around, and gave it to me. After I retrieved it from the police dept., I cleaned it up, and put it in the gun safe. I do not have any feeling about the gun's part in that final...

Shells for shotgun ammo; rounds for centerfire, and 22s for rimfire. If it is just empty brass, I call them pieces.

I sold a BAR in 30/06 to my Uncle shortly after they were introduced in the late sixties. That was the only rifle he owned, and being a rancher, it spent most of its life in the gun rack of his 1966 Bronco. He hunted almost daily during the long (75 day) deer season in his home state, and...

It is basically just a generic ratcheting box wrench. You can probably get one at Sears or Harbor Freight.

I first heard about this method from Boy's Life magazine back in the fifties. Yes it does work, and it is correct that the snake visually follows the end of the gun barrel, rather than sensing heat from a long distance.

.22 LR shot loads are very effective on spiders, and give new meaning to the term "blow them away"!

I know this is an old thread but I just came across this post, and someone might be able to use this information. Drilling and tapping an extra gas port in the barrel was a common modification to the Model 1000M back in the day. The extra port was tapped for an allen head set screw, so the...

You are going to spend big money for Russell or Gokey snake boots. A lot of the guides in Texas are using Chippewa snake boots. A few of the Bass Pro Shops carry these, but they seem to be fairly common in the San Antonio area. The biggest problem is fit, and I am not talking about foot size...

Now, we also have a burgeoning population of wild hogs thanks to the USFWS declaring hogs are not an indigenous species (even though they have been here since the time of Columbus), which placed them under the control of the USDA. That bureaucracy has decreed that wild hogs are not fit for...

What's in a name. When Sam Colt patented his great single action, those so chambered were referred to as 45 Colt, or Colt 45 in some areas. When John Browning introduced his battle pistol, it was also referred to as 45 Colt, or Colt 45. Now, if you are looking for a 45 Colt, or Colt 45 in...

There is also such a thing as moral guilt vs. legal guilt. A defendant is morally guilty when he actually committed the offense for which he is charged, but he is only legally guilty when the case is proved against him in court (or if he/she confesses). This rubs a lot of people the wrong way...

The U.S. is a major arms supplier to Israel.

Don't forget the Chinese Grass Carp!

Not that I remember (it has been a while since I skinned one), but we usually just ate the ribs. We mostly got Buffalo in the Spring when they were spawning in the backwater. Never heard of anyone getting sick from eating them.

Hoarding does not apply to food, liquor, or ammunition. That is "Emergency Preparedness".

We ate fried Buffalo ribs frequently. Never cared for the rest of the fish because of the butterfly bones. Grinnel, or Chopique in the deep South is good if the fish is very fresh. Chop off the tail, and hang them for the blood to drain. Fillet and fry with catfish, and it is hard to tell...

I have to side with the Cajun on this one. My "Old Blue" is a 1993 Suburban K2500, 7.4L with 172,000 actual miles. It still has all of its original joints, which were all equipped with grease fittings from the factory. This truck was made in the Chevrolet Truck Plant, located in Janesville...

You must grease them on a regular basis.
