      Life after CABG

      I'm going to experience a CABG (coronary artery bypass graft in the near future. I wondered how that was going to affect my shooting after a period of healing. Anybody have experience shooting heavier recoiling guns after a decent period of time? No .375 H&Hs, just guns of the class of .30/30...

      barrel/suppressor for 10/22

What I'm looking for is a .920 diameter barrel/integral suppressor for a 10/22. Can anyone point me to a...

      Rust Pits and Cerakote

      Will Cerakote fill rust pits? I found that a single shot slug gun I have has gotten seriously rusted in a closet and I have always thought about painting it so this might be the time to do so.

      Leupold 1.5-4 scope w/ PigPlex reticle

      I just bought a Leupold Freedom 1.5-4x scope w/ a Pig Plex reticle to mount on my Marlin 336. I was really impressed w/ the clarity of the scope and have stopped buying any other scopes than Leupold. Does anybody have a favorite base and rings for something like this? I've considered Weaver...

      Marlin 336 gunsmithing

      Anyone out there in Indiana known for working on Marlin lever actions? I have a 336 that needs improvement in the trigger. It is definitely not the proverbial glass rod.

      Marlin 336 action work

      Is there anyone in Indiana known for action work on Marlin lever actions? I put mine on paper for the first time this week and I noticed the trigger to have some grittiness to it. I'm also considering a peep sight or a 1-4X scope. My groups were 4-5 inches but my sights obscured the bull at 100...

      Had a chance Friday to introduce two young ladies to shooting for the first time. Two young ladies, friends of my daughter, wanted to try shooting but had never shot before. They accompanied my daughter and I to Wilbur Wright and they got a basic safety rules/nomenclature talk. Then they...

      Carpal tunnel surgery.

      Anybody had carpal tunnel surgery? I'm 5 weeks post-op and I don't feel that I can shoot a centerfire pistol at this point. Rimfire is OK. I am wondering how long it takes to recover completely.

      Hodgon powders for pistol cartridges

      I have a chance to buy some powder at a decent price. The choices are Clays, Universal, and International. I've never used any of these. What are they good for? I used to load for .38/.357, 9mm P, .45 ACP, .44 Spl/.44M, and 12 and 20 gauge. I should say I have the equipment to do so but haven't...

      Carpal tunnel surgery.

      I'm facing carpal tunnel surgery in the near future. It would be on my right (dominant) hand. Anyone on here had it done? How does it affect your shooting? Any positive comments or negatives?

      Carpal tunnel surgery.

      Anybody had it? If so, was it effective? How long to be able to shoot a .22 pistol again? How about a 9mm or a .38? Would you do it again?
