      Laminate Encore stock set

      I finally found a deal on an Encore frame for the 357 Max barrel I ordered from Bellm TC. The gun is for my wife and she wants a thumb hole stock. Has anyone ordered from Encore and Contender replacement stocks and pistol grips ? Was originally thinking about a camo synthetic set but the...

      Moving to Indy - where to live.

      Anywhere along 38th street. Real quiet neighborhoods, diverse culture, and plenty of police.

      Progressive presses

      It's a tossup between the Dillon 650 and Hornady L-N-L. Same quality, customer service, end product. I have the Hornady and have been very happy with the press.

      Encore frames more rare than unicorns

      I can't find a stainless encore frame anywhere. T/C and parent company S&W won't answer their phones either. Any idea when T/C makes a run on frames?

      Vodka Guys

      No love for Belvedere? Honestly, has anyone ever done a blind taste test of several brands? Add anything but water and the lines quickly blur (not including Dark Eyes..lulz)

      Today is going to be painful.

      That's funny because I called my insurance agent today to add my F-16 and my McClaren F1 needs an oil change. Times are tough.

      Encore Stainless Frame

      All the distributors my FFL purchases from are sold out of Encore frames. Any one have an extra one laying around? Looking for stainless, may entertain a barrel purchase if the caliber is one I play with. Thanks

      Diamond in the rough?

      I have come across this as well, the lugs shear of the bolt and it comes flying at your face. I am not sure of which serial #'s are affected but I would look into the recall. Never mind, this press release says your in the clear. On December 1, 2005, Sears changed its corrective action plan...

      Recoil ?: 458 SOCOM vs. 358 BFG

      Guys that have shot these calibers, how is the recoil? Would you recommend one over the other for a woman? I ask because my wife has petite build. She has shot a 12 gauge sabot and can't handle the recoil. The 358 would be an Encore vs. the 458 AR that cancels some of the recoil. My...

      Deer legal Thread #2 Pistol, Shotgun, Rifle

      First point: DNR data is derived from harvest numbers Second point: The poll is administered on INGUNOWNERS.COM, one could contend the pool of respondents is not a valid sample Third point: I think PCR's are a great addition to continuing the hunting tradition in Indiana

      Hunting with rifles

      The argument comparing squirrel hunting to deer hunting has no merit. The compressed two week deer season places significantly more hunters in close proximity, increasing the risk for accidents. Also, while it is true you can hunt squirrels with 50 BMG, you would be hard pressed to find anyone...

      Mini Rant about Classifieds

      Provide evidence for this claim please. The only way I would enter into this situation is if I received the DL and LTCH info from the seller along with his address, telephone, etc. This is not a one sided information sharing venture.

      Lead vs. Copper bullets

      Certainly, I purchase the copper chore boy scrub pads at Meijer. The only caveat is that some are steel with a copper coating, so you may want to check them with a magnet in store or cut a few strands to ensure they are 100% copper to avoid bore erosion. I then tear a chunk of the pad (maybe...
