    Does Anyone Clean Firearms Anymore

    I have read the rants about gun shows on the forum. All legitimate complaints. I have also read the complaints about buying online. Again, legitimate complaints. What I cannot understand is every firearm I buy used takes me a day (or longer) to clean the barrel after I get it. Doesn't...

    Massage Chairs

    My wife has extensive nerve pain throughout her body and circulation problems in her legs. I was thinking of getting her a commercial grade massage chair. When I look at them on the internet, every brand says it is the best. I have a budget of up to $10,000 for a chair. Do any of you have...

    356 Winchester

    I have posted a couple of threads dealing with older firearms. Thank you for the replies. I loved them all. I have been looking for rifle in 358 Winchester for some time. They have either been priced out of my budget or not the firearm I want. Then I ran across a Marlin 336 in 356...

    Thoughts On The Winchester Model 71

    I have a Winchester Model 71. It is the only rifle in 348 Winchester. For those familiar with it, what are your thoughts? Mine has the bolt mounted peep sight. I am going to take it to West Virginia to hunt whitetails. I will use it in the blind because I don't want it exposed to bad...

    35 Remington Loads For Remington Model 81

    What are your favorite loads for the 35 Remington used in a Remington Model 81? I will be hunting deer out to 100 yards at the most. More likely 50 yards from the deer blind. I would like a load using 200 gr bullets at 2300 fps.

    Peep Sight or Scope

    I like old rifles. Savage 99s, Remington Model 8 and 81s, Winchester Model 71s and old Marlins. I hunt deer in West Virginia and my shots are under 150 years 100% of the time and under 80 yards 90% of the time. I have used peep sights and scopes. For this kind of hunting, I am leaning toward...

    Donations

    I just renewed my donation to the Forum. If you haven't made a donation, or let your donation expire, think about making one today. This is a great place. I am working off two dings but they were certainly my fault. I am glad we have rules here so that it remains a place worth going to...

    6" Model 41

    I just purchased a Smith Model 41 with a 6" barrel. I understand these were made only for a few months in 1991. The Model 41 was then discontinued for a couple years. When brought back, the barrel lengths were 5.5" and 7". Do any of you have one of the 6" models and does anyone know how many...

    I Can't Do Alone

    Well, I'm having my left knee replaced tomorrow at 9:50 AM. I had the right knee replaced on June 26th. I didn't know what to expect then. I know what to expect this time. I'm feeling a bit weak and scared. I know God will be with me and I need the replacement. I still need your prayers to...

    RAM Repair Rant

    I own a 2020 RAM 1500 5.7L 4X4 Bighorn. When I bought the truck, I was sold an extended warranty. I don't usually buy these, but I was told it had bumper-to-bumper coverage for "anything" up to 150,000 miles. One of the exhaust manifold bolts broke. I was told by a mechanic, after buying the...

    Elastic Shoulder Holster

    At least 20 years ago, I was in a courthouse when an LEO walked by wearing a shoulder holster. It had elastic straps and looked very comfortable. I asked him about it, but he was busy and didn't have time to talk. I have looked for the holster for years and have come up empty. Have any of...

    Drones

    Anyone here have drones? I just bought one a couple months ago. I recently got my Remote Pilot's license. I'm still learning to fly but enjoy it very much. I have replaced the propellers twice. Once from flying indoors (don't do that) and once outside when I hit my neighbor's backdoor post...
