So I really enjoy throwing tomahawks. I've got 3 of them, but my problem is that I don't have anything good to throw them at. I used to have some soft trees that worked perfectly, but not at the place I'm living now. I'm trying to find a Louisiana based knife and tomahawk throwing club, but the...
In all the recent hullabaloo, it turns out I bought two boxes of CCI Small Pistol Magnum primers when I thought I was buying regular small pistol. It isn't that big of a deal, because I could always just shoot lots of weaksauce .357 Mag loads instead of my customary .38 special target load, but...
I'm thinking of putting plastic furniture on my WASR-10, but I don't want to spend a bajillion bucks on the thing. I think the TAPCO folding stock seems pretty decent for under $40 bucks, but what I really am unsure about is the handguard/forend. These things get so damn hot that I burn myself...
At the gun show last weekend I picked up a used Smith and Wesson model 66 2.5 inch. It is in great shape, tight cylinder lockup, no lawyer lock nonsense, and I plan to use it as a carry gun. There are some things that I want some input on, though.
First, I've heard about K-frames and issues...
Gentlemen, I invite you all to beat this dead horse.
I have never put together an AR. I have an AK. Most of my guns are handguns, and I spend most of my time here on the handguns and the ammo and reloading boards. However, my birthday is next week, and my fiancee is going to buy me an AR...
Ok, so I've been having endless issues with my STI Spartan .45, and I don't know what my next move should be. Here is the story:
Ordered the Spartan from Brazos Custom Gunworks about a year and a half ago. After lots of research, I had decided that it would be a great choice for a first...
So I've been reading about the small potential that the internal lock on a smith revolver can, like any part, fail. I know how to disassemble my 686 because I've done it a few times, and removing the lock seems like a piece of cake from the video I watched on youtube of a guy doing it. However...
So about a year and a half ago I got some VZ grips for my 1911 for christmas. Canvas Micarta in OD green. I really like them.
BUT, I just went in my gun safe the other day. The 1911 has been in there for probably a year without being taken to the range. My beautiful OD green grips have turned...
I've read in various threads on here that there is a place you can get lead for $1/pound shipped. Can someone remind me of that website?
Also, if anyone in the Denham Springs/Walker area knows of a good source for lead, I'd appreciate it.
Haven't cast bullets in way too long. The few tire...
I'm going to the beach in a few weeks, and the only sunglasses I have are some that I found (they say oakley on them but I suspect they are knock-offs).
I've never paid good money for sunglasses, as I don't need prescription lenses or anything. I've usually don't wear sunglasses, and when I do...
My uncle is selling 4 guns, and my grandpa (who likes to buy and sell used guns) is interested in buying them. I haven't worked a gun show for 5 years now, so I'm hesitant to give him any ballpark figures on what would be a good price to pay for them (assuming a little room for resale).
These...
My fiancee and I did some gardening today. She just went outside to look at the plants again and saw a snake climbing up under our vinyl siding. I saw the tail end of it before it got up under the siding. She wanted me to cut it in half before it got away, but I didn't want to murder the thing...
I'm getting married in May 2013, and I have to decide what to do for groomsmen gifts. I hear a lot of people do flasks and such, but I think my groomsmen would prefer knives, which also seem to be a fairly popular option.
I did a cursory google search and found a few sites that sell...
I was reading about the K frame Smith magnums (19 and 66) online, and read that you should avoid firing magnum loads with other than 158gr bullets. The site I was readings said that the forcing cone is thinner on the K frames, and shooting lighter bullets can cause it to wear/become damaged. It...
So, it would seem that I have unnecessarily expensive tastes.
I've thought for a while that the next revolver I want to get is a Smith .357 K-Frame, like a m66 or m19. I really like the way that the 3inch barrels look and the overall size of the gun (2inch is too small for a .357 imho and 4inch...
My friends and I are planning to go on a hiking/camping trip on the Wild Azalea trail in the Kisatchie National Forest this weekend. I plan to OC my .357 revolver, "just in case" (as if I have to justify anything to you guys).
I know that under regular state law OC is fine, and there is...
My brother and his friend made a music video (they wrote the song) about LSU going to the National Championship. It is becoming pretty popular. Some of you may already have seen it. My brother is the one on the right without the hat.
My grandpa died earlier in the year, and he had some guns. I'm not sure exactly what all he had, but my dad says its a few shotguns and rifles, and I know at least that he had a collection of black powder kit guns that he used to assemble as a hobby because he kept them in a case on the wall...
