This is an interesting quiz. I don't know what the parameters are, but it was fun to take. Apparently, I need to move to Georgia. :confused: Take the quiz: What State do you actually belong in?

Just bought this yesterday. The book says it was shipped between 1979 and 1980 (which is close enough for me). After soaking overnight, cleaning, lubricating, and test-firing, I'm pleased with this thing. The story goes that this was "used to kill a fox around 20 years ago" and hasn't been fired...

A high school kid got suspended for bringing a squirt gun to school. This may not be a popular view here, but there are other factors to consider, I believe. A squirt gun could be a "weapon" of sorts, if it were filled with chlorine bleach or something flammable, for instance. I don't think...

Let me start by telling you that I typically refer to Mosin-Nagant M93s as "Tomato Stakes". What I would normally recommend is that someone buy six of them in the Spring, affix the bayonets, and stick them in their garden, for the tomato plants to climb upon. With that said, I have a friend...

Posting this as a "Community Service" :) When you buy a shell holder, it's a good idea to check to make sure it's up to specifications. I have a piece of wood with wooden pegs on it and labels, to sort & store my shell holders. It makes for quick identification of the shell holder - especially...

I have a Model 19-4 in hand. 2-1/4" barrel, Polished nickel, S/N 26K8057. The way I read the 3rd edition, it says that 1978 Started with 25K0001 and 1979 ended 56K9999, So that puts this revolver somewhere in March of 1978, maybe?

In a couple of days, I will put out the flag. That is what I do on June 6th, even though it's not on the "official" list of flag days. I really think that it should be, along with December 7th and a few others. Here is the list of "standard" days/holidays proclaimed to be days on which to...

I had a student come to me who wanted me to give her a class on safety and talk her through shooting her new Ruger LC9. She hadn't ever shot a firearm before, so the first thing I let her try was my Ruger Mark II with one round in it, from the 7-yard line. Bullseye. Maybe a fluke? She shoots...

Because this woman I met, would surely already be dead. My story comes to you from a recent trip to the grocery store. I went by the grocery store on my way home from work, at the behest of my lovely wife. She tells me that milk is on sale, and to pick up two gallons. I say sure! No problem...

THIS IS A GUN BOARD CLASSIC (I didn't write it - but did add a little "flavor" to some of it - to meet our posting guidelines.) I doubt that we have any uninitiated here, but just to be clear; "SHTF" means "Stuff Hits The Fan"- which to the "Bubbas" out there - refers to the impending <insert...

Picked up a mod 28-2 with s/n: N246723, crappy photo attached. Any help with the date of manufacture would be appreciated.

Bought a rusty 36 bearing serial number 5400xx on the butt. Figure it was made between 1962 and 1969, but thought I would ask if anyone here could nail it down to closer than "maybe 1966". Paid very little for it. Will be cleaning off rust and bluing to see what I have, later next week. If the...

Just joined. Glad to be here. I work on firearms as a hobby, and as a second job. I am an apprentice of a master gunsmith with 30 years of experience. All I do in this business is clean and check firearms for proper operation, and fix stuff that "armchair gunsmiths" screw up. My favorite thing...
