While watching the new USA series "Shooter" last night, I watched a .338 Laupa round go right through a pumpkin, leaving a small entry hole and a considerably larger exit hole. I remembered seeing a .50 BMG completely destroy (blow up) a pumpkin previously, so of course I was off to youtube to...

I have a Remington 742 in .30-06 that is drilled and tapped for a scope mount. I have no idea if this was factory or if a previous owner did it. Any idea what kind of mount I need?

I bought a 15-5 a while back that is marked ICF14 on the right side between the cylinder and the trigger. The left side is marked with a four digit number in the same place. Anyone know what ICF is?

Took a 66 to the range today and had an interesting experience. Fired a couple of cylinders with no problem, and then the third shot on the third cylinder, fire blew out between the cylinder and the forcing cone. I unloaded and inspected, and found a bullet stuck in the barrel. I'm guessing...

Does that mean I can ONLY carry my 640 in this car? I guess if I'm carrying my Shield I have to take the truck.

Our dishwasher gets run about once a week. There are only three of us, we eat out frequently, and I actually wash the dishes by hand before loading them. When I'm out of town, they may or may not get rinsed first :(. Anyway, when you start the dishwasher, it pumps out any water that may be...

My friend Sgt. Legrand Strickland (Ret.) designed this shirt for 5.11 and Folds of Honor. Part of the sale price goes to Folds of Honor. They are available online or in Academy stores. Some of you may remember that I posted about Legrand several years ago. He was severely wounded by an IED...

Bought a 66 this morning at the gun show. When I got it home, I fired a primed case (no powder, no bullet) just to make sure the firing pin was connecting. It's now locked up. I can't move the trigger or hammer more than 1/4", and even though I can push the cylinder release all the way...

What is the best way to charge a true deep cycle battery (not a dual purpose marine battery) other than a dedicated deep cycle charger? I'm looking at installing one of these (Maxwell Technologies Engine Start Module: for saving money, it's the fleet service manager's choice) in the truck and...

CDNN had a pretty good deal on an ATI .22LR upper, so I bought myself one for Christmas. I put it on my New Frontier lower and it doesn't fire. Not even a mark on the casing, so I'm guessing that the hammer isn't hitting the firing pin actuator. (my terminology may not be completely correct)...

Went to one of the LGS's today and saw a display of Versacarry "holsters". They looked uncomfortable and the firearm doesn't look very secure. Is anyone using one of these? Would you care to comment before I spend $24.95? Thanks!

It's looking like I may have a couple of days off in Baltimore next week. Any suggestions on what to see/do would be appreciated. Also any thoughts on public transportation, as it's either that or shoe-leather. Thanks!

So there are about 20 of these milling about at the corner of my neighbor's house, which is perilously close to my garage and driveway. (One of the wonders of a modern subdivision :rolleyes: ). They are 2 - 2 1/2" long. I can't find the nest, but it may be in the ground under some plants...

My buddy that buys property room guns came up with another one I couldn't resist. New Model Single Six with some cosmetic wear, but mechanically great. The price was right at <$140 OTD. So I have three questions. Are they all convertible? How does one tell if the cylinder is LR or Magnum...

Simple question, but not a simple answer. At home, I fry mine in bacon grease until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny. At a restaurant, I order "over medium", which to me means whites cooked, yolks runny, but some short order cooks don't seem to get it. Two out of five...

What's with folks digging up three, four, or even five year old threads? I keep opening what I think will be an interesting thread, only to find I commented on it in 2009!!! Cut it out, fellas! Let the past die! Focus on the future! :D

We've figured out that the long DA trigger pull on most carry-style pistols is a problem for my wife. I've had her dry firing a Model 15 on DA to get a better feel for it, but she would feel more comfortable knowing that at least the second shot would be SA. So what is out there that either...

My wife's office went to the company range yesterday. (long story, but it's a great place to work :D) I packed her a "goodie bag" containing a Model 10, a P-22, a 990L, and a LCP, along with eyes, ears and ammo. She's shot the 10 and the P-22 before and shoots them well. The problem was the...

Scott St. Clair: To Arms, To Arms, And This Means You! - Victoria Taft A friend of mine wrote this article. I tend to agree with him, but I'm not sure implementation would be easy, especially in our more liberal areas. What say you?

Decorated Vet Arrested After ?Rudely Displaying? His Rifle ? and Says Officer Pulled Gun on Him in Front of Boy Scouts | Video | TheBlaze.com Just wondering what your thoughts are on this? I don't think I would be carrying an AR-15 on a hike in Texas, but I'm pretty sure the cops were over the...
