    Lucked into a 39-2 deal.

    I stopped by one of the local toy stores yesterday, nothing to see, but just before I was leaving an older gentleman came in carrying a small blue/metal corner S&W box. He explained that he had the gun since about 1970 and he only shot two shots with it then put it away (I thought he may have...

    Your pistol powder "trinity"

    A comment in another thread got me thinking about the pistol powder trinity. I guess we all have at least 3 for different power loads and chamberings to suit almost all of our handloading situations. It appears on reflection that mine is: WSF (good for most autopistol cartridges and I have...

    Lead Melters

    I haven't done any bullet casting since the mid-70s when I used to cast round balls for my flintlocks or minie balls for the Zouave with a ladle from a cast iron pot over an open fire. I've been satisfied with commercial cast bullets for most of my centerfire needs and even the muzzleloaders...

    Piiiie..(as we say in the south)

    Alright, let's just cut to the chase. It's Thanksgiving and in the foodstuffs final analysis, it's really all about the pie (cornbread dressing and gravy notwithstanding). So, we need a pie photo thread. I'll kick it off this one, my just out of the oven pumpkin pie made with oven roasted...

    BLR-81 Magazine Disassembly

    Anyone know how to take apart the magazines for the older style Browning BLR? These are the ones that stick out below the receiver, not the more recent flush mount type. I need to take one apart to clean and lube it (a little interior rust/dust) and it is just not intuitive.

    Coolness under fire? -- Lion Charge!

    This is a very interesting video of a lion charge with PHs and their clients. Use enough gun indeed. Shot placement, however, is still king. YouTube - Stupid Hunters Under Lion Attack

    This is interesting

    I think this is the experimental proof that normal men can't dance..... 1. While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. 2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change...

    I didn't *need* a 681-1 M, but....Added: Range Report

    This was at one of the local toy stores today for $249. I'm not a real fixed sight fan for .357 Mag revolvers unless in pocket guns like the SP101, but how can you resist car gun prices?! It de-gicked nicely, very tight, smooth DA and crisp SA, but did have some evidence of flame cutting in the...
