How many rounds of 44 mag would you have to shoot annually to make the cost savings of reloading worth the time and investment? I have a marlin 1894 and only shoot 300-500 round annually. I usually shoot the Winchester White Box 240 grain JSP and pay approx .92 a bullet. So I am spending...
When I empty my magazine after shooting, I always drop the magazine out of my gun and visually check the gun is empty, even when the slide is in the locked open position.
It is your right to open carry. You are not a criminal or a bad person for open carry. However, we live in a world where many people are legitimately afraid of guns. With all of the flurry of negative propaganda against gun owners, I can think of few great reasons to open carry. In the end...
Riots are against the law. Organizing riots are against the law. However, I am extremely encouraged by all the marches and demonstrations. I hope this keeps the opposing side involved so we can make real progress. Democracy demands we PEACEFULLY protest. Democracy demands we publicly state...
On the NRA, they are a special interest group that is making many folks rich. However, the condition of our current legislative process that caters to big money and special interest makes the NRA a necessary. We need to contribute because if we want our issues heard, we have to buy our way in...
I believe our gun rights will continue to erode. The biggest reason simply becomes ignorance. Many people are not necessarily against guns, however, as we have moved into the electronic age, fewer and fewer young people are engaging in shooting sports. The more removed we become from gun...
Keep up the good work on holding our politicians accountable. There is so much garbage in our legislative session and many of us simply don't have the smarts or time to weed through it all. Post like these keep us informed.
All I can say is I am and will be hopelessly be broke for a while. I have 7 biological kids (2 are adults) and 3 foster kids. I am rich with life and poor with money. LOL
My two cents
The basics have for sure been covered above. The first step in delicious venison is proper field care. This includes "gutting" the deer ASAP after the kill being especially cautious to not cut into the bladder or intestines. The biggest mistake I see being made in the area of...
I want to throw a shout out to Havlin Firearms Finishing Havlin's Firearms Finishing. I had a broken gun, I took it to him, he fixed it and billed me a very reasonable price. I was able to be connected to this gunsmith through posting in this message board. Truly a nice guy. He took my...
I like shotguns for home defense because im comfortable with shotguns. It has been years ago, however, I read an article that claimed no one has ever taken more than one shot to incapacitate with a 12 gauge shotgun since records of police shootings have been kept. Handguns are great tools but...
I have a Remington model 11 in 20 gauge. This gun does not always extract when cycled and sometimes the action will not close when locked open by pushing the button on the side. I bought parts from the INDY gun show years ago and replaced everything I thought could be the issue. Any guidance...
Its hard to part with the money but in the end, guns don't eat anything and you will have an amazing piece of American History. These guns only keep going up in money. So you are actually loosing money by not buying it, considering the appreciation of the gun and the hours of joy you will get...
I recently shot a M1 and it has caused me to fall in love. I have an old 303 that I shoot but it is not even as remotely as satisfying as shooting the M1. I often tell my wife that I am the perfect husband; I shoot straight, brew my own beer, make my own bacon, and am a pit masters. Women in...
Ill tell you about my favorite guns. You can tell a lot about a person by the guns the love. I love shotguns. Especially the classics; Winchester 1897, Winchester model 12, Remington 870, and Browning A5 1929 Belgium made. I love muzzleloaders, I hunt deer with a with lever action 44mag. I...
This has been covered at length. However, I always like to hear opinions and reasons why people prefer one firearm over another for home defense. I am a traditionalist. I like a 12 gauge with good ol fashioned bird shot.
