Even have a gunsmithing machine shop.I brought a flintlock and my black powder shooting box. Glad I did. They have a...

      Keep CZ 452 or get 457?

      I've had a CZ 452 military trainer for about 20 years now. I'm thinking about a wood stocked CZ 457 varmint that is catching my eye. I've read in one place that the 452 has a better barrel and chamber but can't confirm that. The 457 has the heavy barrel and what I consider to be better stock...

      Wilson drop in 1911 grip safety

      I decided to get a Wilson drop in grip safety for a Combat Commander because the pistol came with one of those annoying "duck bill" grip safeties. After installing the new grip safety I thought the fit to the frame was pretty good then came the function check. No go. The trigger wouldn't pull...

      Legal Heat

      I have been shooting for 40+ years and have taken classes before. An outfit called Legal Heat was going to have a carry class at the Hammond Cabelas last weekend so I signed up just for a refresher. I go to the store earlier than the appointed time because they say be on time. Four others and I...

      WTS: Amish dining room chairs- oak

      Brand new and never used. Just picked up on 4-11-22. Selling because I ordered the wrong stain color and they are not close to a match. Avoid the 2-3 month wait! $900. Cost was $285 apiece.The cost of refinishing is more than the cost of the chairs. Located in Highland.

      Gunsmith to fit SAA grips

      I've periodically searched here and elsewhere for a gunsmith to fit sambar stag grips to a 3rd gen Colt SAA. I talked to an SAA specialists in AZ a few years ago but never shipped the gun because I wanted to stay local but if I gotta do it I will. Most of those guys want to work with the entire...

      Fishing Lake Michigan

      Wondering if anybody has been shore or stream fishing for coho/salmon this year. I haven't gone in several years but am thinking about it. Should be good until mid April or so. We always used a slip bobber with nightcrawlers, spawn sacs and frozen herring works well on the lakeshore.

      Marlin operation

      While detail cleaning 40 years of a little dried up crud in an 1894 I had an idea to make a working model of the mechanism. In my defense it's raining and I got bored and like a cat I'm curious. Traced the receiver to locate two primary holes and used drill bits for pivots. I need to glue strips...

      Do I need a 350 Legend for deer?

      Just contemplating building an AR upper in 350 legend and not sure if I want to spend money on another caliber. Having built one upper the tools are in my possession. What advantages would it give me, if any, over what I already have? My current staple includes a T/C Hawken in .50 that was...

      F.I.R.S.T. shot in Dyer. Anyone been there?

      Looking for thoughts on them but I will volunteer to be a guinea pig for the halibut. Noticed it on Sheffield while driving by. It is across the street from Walt's and Gus Bock's Ace hardware. https://www.firstshotdyer.com/

      The case against shiny defensive firearms.

      As I look at some of my blued handguns that show honest wear I was thinking about the stainless, nickle, matte chrome finishes and thought hell, they don't show the wear marks. I began thinking about the rare instances some relatives or coworkers would talk about their time in the military. Like...

      Lock stock and barrel, even the screws, were handmade. Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAzJOULyx5c

      Ruger 77/44 accuracy. Am I expecting too much?

      Awhile back I bought a Ruger 77/44 on a whim because I thought it would be a great deer carbine. When I got it I lapped the rings and mounted a Leupold 1x4 shotgun scope thinking it would be perfect for the intended use which would be a woods rifle for ranges up to 100 yards. Until recently I...
