      Remington 1903-A3 Puzzle

      I recently acquired this relatively pristine Remington 03-A3 dating to '43 in a scant stock. I'm thrilled to have got it, but am having trouble finding any real info on it. I've scoured the web with no results of an example with similar stamps. I know it is Chinese translated "Safe for use"...

      Remington Arms to file Bankruptcy

      I can't say I'm surprised...Too bad, though, a great American company name. This seems to common operating procedure for gun manufacturing companies living on a name anymore. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2018/02/12/beleaguered-gunmaker-remington-points-bankruptcy-court/329096002/

      Original Ghurka Kukri

      Just snagged this from IMA. Original Ghurka kukri from the Royal Nepalese cache, original sheath. The knife is in quite good shape, from my research, it appears to be late 19th century or very early 20th century. Good enough for me to order a "Longleaf" from Atlanta Cutlery. Cool piece of...

      CZ 75 BD problem, and fix

      I purchased my first CZ a couple weeks ago, a CZ 75 BD Police model. After 2 range sessions and around 1,000 dry firings to smooth things up, I realized I needed to do something about the sights and the double action pull. Thus, I found Cajun Gun Works...Wow..I could spend a lot of money...

      M1 Carbine extractor!!

      l lucked into an M1 Carbine this week. My Grandfather gifted it to me. I was extremely grateful and excited to get it out and shoot it with my 10 yr. old son. Everything was great until the 8th round or so , when I noticed the spent sells weren't ejecting the same. The extractor had broken...

      Has some luck this morning! Found these from a big 8 we've been getting pics of since last year. Lucky, they were right on top of each other, and the squirrels hadn't found them yet.

      First Coyote on our First Trap Line

      Well, another deer season is over for me and the boy. Towards the end of the season, we were seeing a disconcerting number of coyotes. While discussing this with him, the topic of trapping came up, and he showed quite a bit of interest in it. I haven't trapped since I was a kid, and that was...

      Great morning for the boy!

      My son shot his first coyote this morning with a fantastic 125 yd. shot! While celebrating his great shot, a deer (button buck) runs out of the corn and gives him a shot at 20ish yards, and he made the best of it! Needless to say, he was one excited boy, and I'm one proud dad!

      After 4 yrs. of passing little bucks...

      It was a slow opening day. I only got a glimpse of a buck in the AM, and was skunked in the evening. Sunday morning, skunked again. I had high hopes for Sunday evening with the snow moving in to the area. I got settled just in time for the the sleet to begin. The sleet changed over to snow...

      southeast Indiana smith?

      Asking for a buddy who asked me. Who are some go-to guys in southeast IN for a drill and tap job? He's located in Ripley county, but probably willing to travel some. Time is of the essence, so a quick turn around would be necessary. Thanks in advance!

      260 Rem

      I've been looking into a good, long range capable rifle for a while. I've looked at my options, and think I've settled on the .260 rem. I haven't seen much discussion here about the caliber, and was wondering what experience INGO has with this caliber. Like I said, my mind is set on the...

      pet .357 plinking loads

      Well, I'm jumping in to reloading another cartridge, the .357 magnum. I have multiple manuals and am not new to the reloading game, but would like some direction on some light plinking loads with cast bullets. I'm kind of fond of unique, and consistently have it on hand. I'd like some...

      The boy's first time fly fishing!

      Took my 9 year old son out fishing this weekend. I decided to give him a shot with the fly rod, and I'm happy to say he loved it. Now it is all he wants to do, and he is turning his nose up at the spinning rods! :cool:

      Burris Fastfire III

      What is everybody's experience with these? I'm thinking real hard about getting one for my Ruger mk III target. I really like the improvements that Burris made over the ff2, accessible battery change, 3 moa, and adjustable brightness...and under an ounce! It will be on a .22 and stationarily...

      A different .22 semi-auto. Squibman

      I grabbed onto this oddball today. It's kind of a neat little rifle, shell deflector, 15 rd. mags, and compensator. Does anybody have any experience with this critter? Stock photos
