    Who eats Mergansers

    Speaking of seagull Did you ever hear the one: A Texas game warden was driving on San Luis Pass road in June outside of hunting season checking on fishermen. He heard some shooting from the beach and went up an access road to find a very old van with a family with a bunch of skinny kids...

    Unsupported Chamber?

    This may be it, the gun is a CMMG Banshee and my brother is seeing that early unlock may be an issue on this on other forums. He is calling CMMG tomorrow. He did say it came with 2 buffers. Using Rainer 180 grain plated with 9.2 gr Alliant Power pistol. Alliant shows 9.3 does 1,295 FPS. Would...

    Unsupported Chamber?

    I have reloaded for 20+ years. Am a big brass scrounger and have am sure I have picked up some brass that has run through Glocks with unsupported chambers. Never have I seen a full bulge ring around a case. This brings me to the picture attached. My brother shot (3) 10mm guns at range the other...

    What Deer Cartridge This Year

    308 and 300 BO Use the 308 with handloaded 168 gr ballistic tips. The 300 BO with 125 grain Ballistic tips. Now have a Bolt action 308 instead of the AR in picture. A lot lighter and the threaded barrel allows me to shoot with no hearing protection as the Suppressor outside the blind drops the...

    Stolen gun?

    Gun range rules My brother used to live in Temple TX and would go shoot at Fort Hoods range open to public. Being a government facility they would check the guns serial numbers against a stolen gun report. He got a 30-45 minute hold with an Army MP on a Ruger Semi auto 22 pistol that he bought...

    I've got a piece of hard rock candy.

    My brothers and I quote this to each other quite often. Back before cell phones we were dove hunting on our 2,000 acre lease. We all had the small multichannel radios for when we split up to tell each other where we were and how we were doing. I was hunting with my Dad, who did not know the...

    British "humour"?

    Clarkson's Farm Not a motorhead, so had never heard of Jeremy Clarkson. The show on Netflix about him suddenly running a farm that he owned had some very good laughs.

Stopped duck and goose hunting a few years back, for a while we loaded our own steel shot after the regulations for...

    Guns as collectables-against Barbie

    Ivan, you are probably right on the Nylon 66 Value. The 1928 model 1908 Colt is in good, not excellent shape. Have not recently checked actual selling prices as I am not going to sell either one as they are inheritances-not blood but still going to keep. Barbie on the other hand is out the door...
