Easter Sunday we visited family. When we got home, my 10-year-old daughter ran up to open the garage door while carrying a gas station pop. The garage door opener is broken, so we have to do this manually, which I've come to like. Reminds me of my childhood.
As she opened the door, a damned bat...
Hello,
I'm aware of the use of small pistol primers in .45acp for some years now. I've never used them due to my vast supply of cases I've accumulated.
I debated finding some SPP cases when LPPs were harder to find, but ultimately didn't need to. So zero experience.
I just ordered and...
I have a problem with this. I don't care if you are transgender; that's your business.
I have an issue with co-opting Easter, especially with an issue that is so controversial among Christians.
It seems very disrespectful to me.

Hello,
I'm looking into buying a Lee-Enfield and am wondering what's out there. I'm not looking for a showpiece, but rather one that's serviceable with a good bore and decent headspace.
No rush, just shopping around.
Thanks!

Found this story on Google after seeing a screenshot on Reddit. Thought it was interesting.
That other thread was locked before we could explore this topic thoroughly. Folks were trying to derail the thread with asinine posts about post counts, or somesuch nonsense. Not nearly as important, anyway, as BK.
With the cost of primers and powder, I really don't do fast food restaurants --...
Hello,
This is the only published load data I've been able to find for the 8x56r. The one manual I think might have it in there is missing. I brought it home and I suspect my kids got it or my wife "put it away."
Whichever, I have limited experience with H4350, having used it only for heavier...
I'm subbing at my kid's school today. They're having hearing tests and I'm helping out the speech pathologists.
After the kids were done, I was offered a hearing test. I've not had one since my mom retired years ago, so figured it couldn't hurt.
I listen to lots of loud music and used to shoot...
I've had this Turked Gewehr 88/05 for some years now. I just don't shoot it anymore.
It requires 150grn 7.92x57IS ammo or lighter -- NOT regular 8mm Mauser ammo.
The Gewehr 88 was the first German military rifle designed for a smokeless powder round. Though it was originally designed for an...
I'll preface this by saying I have nothing at all against suppressors, and that I of course don't believe they lead to more crime yadda yadda.
What I do wonder is why there's so much interest in them. They make the host firearms longer and bulkier, and don't negate the need for hearing...
Hello,
On my bike ride back from the bus stop this morning, I found a once-nice recurve bow just laying in the street. It's trash day. It looks like someone threw it away and it missed being dumped into the trash truck.
One of the limbs is damaged near the end, chipped and splintered.
How do...
Hi Folks,
Preface: This is an article I wrote some years back, and realized I'd never published it here. I hope it helps someone! - Josh
I noticed my Savage MkII wasn't acting right, so I parked it until I could take a look at it.
A couple weeks ago a decided to resurrect it. It is a...
I thought this might be an interesting thread.
I went to Northfield Jr/Sr High, class of '96. My sister was three years behind me, and my brother, five or six.
