I have been putting off a project for a few years, and decided to start it this morning. I read about "the plug" and saw a picture on a Centennial that looked really nice. Decided to remove the internal lock from my .357 model 649 because the idea of the lock offends me. No problems with the...

OK hog shooter: Try Brickhouse Security on you web browser. Many options on cameras, including weather proof. Prices not too bad. They gave me exactly what I needed, and had very good customer service too.

You guys have already answered my question. The rail is maybe 6-7 inches long. I was hoping to just clamp some iron sights to the rail, but with that short a distance between the front and back sights, the accuracy would be crap. I once had ghost ring sights added to a shotgun. The front...

My father in law has handed down a gun to my 9 year old son. It is a 30-06 Harrington & Richardson Handi-Rifle. The boy will not be ready to shoot something like that for a few years, so it is my sad duty to range test it, and shoot it myself. So that it doesn't pine away from lonliness of...

good service for me I have owned a PT-99 for over twenty years. Sent it in twice. Once the receiver cracked right where the pin that holds the rear sight is, and could not get the sights to align. Shot the lands from the original barrel after about 17 years, and they replaced that too...

Just purchased a Saiga 12 semi auto shotgun at the Indy 1500 show last weekend. Got the 10 rd mag with it. There are a number of drum magazines on the market, and I want one. None are original manufacture by the maker of the gun, the way some of the box magazines are. Does anyone have any...

CZ-75 - 9mm Walther PP - .380 Can't hardly wait, but it will have to be next weekend.

Indiana Senators Bayh (D) voted in favor of the bill. Lugar (R) - presumed, voted against it. I sent email contact to both asking for their support, and mentioning that I would pleased to see that they supported it. Clearly, I am not pleased with Lugar. It seems to me that he has torpedoed...

Found a .45 slug mashed into the shingles of my garage roof about 5 years ago, much like in your initial picture. We have a lot of mexicans here. They are the ones the "don't shoot in the air" messages are directed at on our local TV during some holidays. You can hear the gunshots at night on...

Thank You all, I have an appointment with Brinks. I cannot go with motion detectors due to pets, but will get the breakage & open monitors on all windows and doors. The detective I spoke to says they are the best in this area. He also said smash & grabbers (most residential burglaries)...

Had a break in at the house yesterday. Police called me at work from my home phone. My retired next door neighbor saw three YBM's come up my driveway, take a log from my woodpile, and proceed to smash a window at the back of my house. He got on to 911. In the 5 minutes it took the PD to...

Keeping up with the Kardashians

Ditto on Arlington Nat'l cemetary, the Smithsonian, and the NRA museum (beautiful collection). The spy museum in downtown DC is pretty cool too.

Oh Henry bar. With a mug of good strong coffee.

I have owned a Taurus PT-99 since 1987. Sent it in for service on the lifetime warranty twice. The first time a crack had started in the slide. I had shot the lands from the barrel by this time, and they replaced barrel & slide. The second time, the trigger return slide came off the trigger...

Don't buy gold or silver as an investment. You won't make money on it. If you want to have something you can spend when the dollar won't buy anything anymore, that might work. I have purchased "several" 1/10 oz gold coins and some 1 oz silver coins for such a purpose if it comes to pass...

There was a state law passed last year allowing concealed carry in Indiana state parks. That probably doesn't apply to the Hoosier Nat'l Forest, as that is a national park. I'm sure it depends on whether your home state of issue has CCW reciprocity with Indiana. You might verify with the...

Whoops! Grains - definitely grains. I tried the magnet. It picked the bullet right up. The manual calls 24.0 grains the starting load. I have always felt like I wasted my time when I test the starting load. My practice is always to split the difference between the maximum & starting loads...

Thank You Gentlemen, I too was a little concerned. It is military brass. 26.0 gr comes up almost to the top of the part that tapers into the case neck. The bullets are the SS109 bullets, and they are significantly longer. I haven't tried a magnet, that would be interesting to know. I will...

I am loading 26.0 gr of 748 behind a 55 gr. boat tail bullet in .223. Good load in my AR. My Hornady 2006 manual indicates a max load of 27.0 gr of 748 for a 63 grain boat tail bullet, so I felt comfortable charging the same 26.0 gr of 748 behind my 62 grain boat tail bullets. When I did it...
