      Ship shotgun to Texas?

      My oldest (proper person) wants to borrow my 870 for a quail hunt in Texas. I’m a Hoosier. I understand I can ship directly to his local FFL. Is that it? Any specific carrier? Overnight? Where can I find this info?

      Cowboy Big Lube Bullet source?

      I justy sadly read that Mark Whyte (Springfield Slim) is getting out of the casting/sales business of his Big Lube bullets. I load 45 Colt and 44-40 WCF cartridges with blackpowder. Anyone know of a source for pre-lubed .45 and 44-40 cast bullets? I'm too old and lazy to start casting my own.

      USMC Boot Camp graduation gift?

      My son will graduate Marine Corps boot camp next month. I'd like to get him a nice "combat knife" for his graduation. I'm not looking for a show piece, but more of a knife he can use in his service. I've seen the Ka-bar options, but I'm thinking these are more of a historical piece these...

      Amateur Blacksmith question

      I have an old dbl-barrelled SxS shotgun (Rossi Overland) that prevents the right hammer from cocking when the barrel-release lever is pressed to the right side to open the barrels. Not a big deal for many, by my Cowboy Action shooters say this should be fixed by bending the barrel release...

      I shoot 115 gn. Hornady Critical Defense 9mm. At just under $1/round, it's burning through my ammo budget. Does anyone publish a comparison list with plinking vs. self defense ammo? My major motivations are felt recoil and generalized accuracy. I am under the impression that factory 9mm is...

      I've been carrying a Colt 1991 Government model for some time now. No beveled mag-well, no night sights, no beavertail safety, no skeletonized hammer or trigger, no nothing! Just a plain-jane 1911. Besides being HEAVY, and the sights suck, I absolutely love this firearm. I've decided to...

      Fully-auto adapter?

      Our local paper tonight has an article stating an officer performing a traffic stop discovered "a 9mm handgun with 27 rounds in a magazine and an adapter attached to it that classified it as a fully automatic machine gun".
