Well, fast or not, I have my name on one for sure...whenever they do come in!

My local gun shop had 19 of the new Python. They lasted about three weeks.

One of the gun shows I attended back in those days turned up an FBI model Thompson submachine gun, in a leather covered, red felt lined, cantilever case with nickel plated hardware, owner's manual, two stick magazines, a drum magazine, cleaning rod with brushes, jag, and lubricating oil...and a...

I have saved my pile of shekels and placed an order for my Anaconda with the Local Gun Shop. I could never have afforded the original when it was first released and had to satisfy myself with the Ruger Super Blackhawk. I guess that before I cash in my chips, I will have to order a Colt's Single...

I recently read an article about a Mannlicher cartridge, the 8 x 50R black powder round. Looking at the photo, one might get the idea Hornady was doing historical research when the came up with their "precision" designs. I am still waiting for my Savage in 6mm ARC (also a rimmed design). Take a...

Very nice! They didn't stray from the original concept, did they? I still believe the SA/DA action has the best features of all worlds.

The Colonel was invested in the 10mm because he was looking for a cartridge that gave less drop and more punch at extended range. He also advocated the single/double action pistol design of CZ and what was then called the Bren 10. He envisioned this as the best all round cartridge for LE and...

24-416 short??? A two and a half inch 220 grain projectile launched at 3400fps. Ten shots and its time to re-barrel.

In Washington State there is a constant drum beat to remove personally owned firearms. The focus starts with the scary black rifles. Just a few years back, laws were passed that effectively initiated a waiting period as all purchases must be routed through the local constabulary who conducts a...

Somehow, after resisting the impulse to purchase a dreaded "Black Rifle" for decades, i finally got one about three years back. I am so glad I did! My grandson once remarked, "You have enough ammo to supply an army, Opah!" Well, I have more than 20 rounds and far fewer than a truckload. I...

OK, let's discuss something fun. What is your favorite caliber/platform for hunting: 1. small game 2. varmints 3. medium game (i.e. deer) 4. large game (i.e. elk/large African antelope) 5. dangerous game (you name it) I'll start with: 1. 22 LR, single shot 2. 223, AR platform 3. 7-08 to 7mm...

And they want me to turn in my firearms? This is where I live... Whatcom law enforcement agencies publish open letter regarding new “police reform” laws BY WHATCOM NEWS ON JULY 15, 2021 AT 12:42PM WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — The following is an open letter to the community published by local law...

If this subject isn't "political" there never be one. Trying to hide from political discussion in this day and age is futile. How can the Second Amendment be discussed in a non-political way in just the same way as any discussion of the Covid issue? What was originally a medical problem was made...

When I was in scouts, our first 50 mile hike ended in a State park. Our site was on a slight grade and my buddy and I trenched around our tent with the rear of the tent facing uphill. We too got razzed because it was the last night and we were going home in the morning. He and I got up early and...

My father built a house on 15 foot pilings in a neighborhood with only five houses. It was in a "100 year flood plain" and the neighborhood had never flooded since white man had made it to that area (Spring Texas). Spring Creek ran just behind the house and the neighbors thought he was nuts. The...

My prayers go out to you and your family. The political football was first kicked by the anti-Trumpers. They couldn't bear to see him with even one win. Another point: Why is the mad influx of the unvaccinated/untested coming across our borders never associated with renewed ChiCom Flu...

Hummm, related to a plumber, electrician, or field service mechanic huh? The ones I've seen mounted on bumpers need three teen-agers to move...or one fork lift. There is absolutely no substitute for a good vice when you need one.

Well, I mounted my (larger than I like to move around) 6 inch opening vice on three 2 x 4s using counter sunk bolts from the bottom and strap bracing along both ends of the boards. It sits quite well on one end of the "bench" now but has been occasionally moved from place to place as needed. The...

I have "converted" an old, oak dining room table into a work bench by adding 2 x 12 boards (reclaimed) across its top. The boards are screwed to 1 x 4 deck boards and then I just laid the new "deck" across the original top. If I anticipate a juicey operation, I lay cardboard on top of the wood...

Very nice!
