Some time ago, I was gifted a 1948 Remington model 514. This single-shot bolt action 22 caliber rifle had been stored in an attic for 25+ years and had been forgotten. It sure looked it. When received, every visible metal part was covered in rust, including the bore. The stock had a crack, many...
I find myself in the market for a deep conceal centerfire handgun. Never thought these words would pass my lips, but it looks like 380 is the way I need to go. I have modern micro 9mm's but each is too large or sharp-edged for a draw clean enough for the concealment requirement. Looking at...
I got an email today from x-treme bullets advertising limited sale packages of 5000 primers and 5000 bullets together. Primers are claimed to be equivalent to CCI, my favorite. I've used their bullets for years, might give their primers a try. Just passing along a possible source for those...
Lookie here, lookie here. Found these way back on my powder shelf this afternoon. Forgot all about them somehow. I don't rightly recall paying that outrageous price for them, but I'm sure it's been a few years back. Powder is still good, so I guess I'll have to dig around to find something...
I've been loading 32 ACP for some time now and recently decided to start loading 32 S&W Long for a revolver. A couple of hours on the web led me to several posts/opinions claiming that some of the dies are interchangeable. Seems to be a diversity of opinion on this. I am well aware of the...
Yet another re-hash of the same old simplistic and ineffective solutions to the violent impulses that have always been a part of human society...

An acquaintance of mine has been gifted a modern, US made, semiautomatic handgun. Somewhere in the handgun's past life, someone filed off the serial number. My acquaintance asked me what he needs to do to get this gun legal again (assuming that the present situation is not in compliance with...

A friend's wife asked for some help buying an M1 that her husband (said friend) would use (think Christmas). This needs to be a complete surprise (wife would never, ever think of doing this before last week). Friend is not a collector, and is not interested in a safe queen. He would love...
Please accept my apologies if I am duplicating prior information here. I just spent more than an hour searching and reading, and I'm more confused that when I started. Silly me...
I own an excellent condition 1944 handgun that I am considering selling. I am trying to decide wether use this...
A WW2 bring back from Burma Colt 1903 in .32 appeared in my safe last week. Type V, parkerized. It spent at least 40 years in a box. 2 factory mags, no holster.
After checking it over carefully, I shot about 100 rounds flawlessly, then stripped it down for what may have been its second ever...
For those who prefer folding rifles, now in AR-10 and AR-15. Coming sometime soon to a free state near you....

Sorry if this is a dupe.
Just because I love all deplorables, I offer a 64 oz (I think) Yeti bottle.
Never used. Promo item from a friend. Lettering may come off with a bit of compound, I can't tell.
Open to deplorables with more than 50 posts. Post "I'm in" below and 8 pm Wednesday, December 21st I will...
I'm getting too lazy to look in my spotting scope, so I stole an idea from I don't remember where.... Sorry if this is a dupe, I really did search before posting this...
Rigged up a mount to hang my cell phone on the scope so I can use the phone's camera to 'look' in the scope...
Last night while having dinner with friends, the husband mentioned that he was looking to pass on his 22LR rifle to someone who would give it a good home. (They have no kids, and are mid- 70's.) Of course, I volunteered that I had just the home, and he brought out an old Winchester 52 and...
While at the range earlier today, I noticed for the first time, that 80-90% of the spent brass from my LC9 is dented. All of the dented brass looks the same although there is some variation in how deep the dent/crease goes toward the center of the case.
I was shooting ZQI 123 grain for the...
41 Firearms Discovered (Confiscated) by TSA Last Week – Of the 41 firearms, 34 were loaded and 10 had rounds chambered. http://blog.tsa.gov/
It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly forgetful and/or stupid some people can be. I never liked TSA and their policies, but as long as people...
