    Painting a rifle stock?

    I have a Springfield M1A Scout/Squad rifle that I bought used. Love the rifle, but it has a woodland camo synthetic stock that I absolutely hate. I do like the feel and weight of the stock, just don't care for the color. I have considered painting it black, my preferred color, but I'm concerned...

    People losing jobs over Trump remarks.

    I read an article this morning that said a number of people have lost their jobs over social media posts saying they wished the shooter hadn't missed Trump. Now I do enjoy seeing an A-hole get their due, but I also believe in the Constitution and the 1st Amendment. I may not agree with what you...

    Vote in the Primary Elections

    Super Tuesday is almost upon us. As well as other Primaries all around the nation. I strongly urge everyone to vote in the primaries. Let's be honest here. Come November the vast majority of voters are gonna go into the polling booth and simply vote straight R or D depending on their beliefs...

    Bad Doctor: what to do?

    To make a very long story short as possible, my oldest son (44) is diabetic. He's been having serious problems with his right foot for about 6 months. Several surgeries to remove infected tissue and has to constantly be on a wound vacuum. He can barely get around and has multiple doctor's visits...

    SA .22 Project Completed

    A while back I posted a thread asking about refinishing alloy guns. A couple of folks asked me to show the result. Well, here tis! 😁 I picked this poor thing up a couple of months ago. Hy Hunter Frontier Six Shooter in .22LR. According to the internet, these were actually made by J.P. Sauer &...

    Questions about Red Dots for EDC?

    I really don't know a lot about red dot sights. I've got a couple on target pistols and a couple of EOTechs on rifles. But this current trend of Micro Red Dots on EDC pistols leaves me with a couple of questions. 1. Do you leave it turned on all the time? Doesn't seem to me that there would be...

    The Every Trip Range Gun.

    Do you have a gun that seems to go along on almost every trip to the range? No matter what your purpose, no matter what else you will be shooting. This one just seems to constantly find its way into the range bag. For me its my S&W Model 18-3. This particular gun was set up by a previous owner...

    Refinishing alloys?

    I recently bought a Hy Hunter Frontier Six Shooter (actually made by J.P. Sauer and Sons) in .22 LR caliber. These were imported in the 1960s. I paid $30 for it. Its actually a decent gun and shoots pretty well. However, the finish is badly worn and the poor thing looks like poop. I want to...

    Why we're gonna lose.

    Over the years I have seen, observed and reasoned to the conclusion the Conservatives and the United States are we remember it are doomed. Conservatives, for the most part, simply want to live our lives as we see fit and be left alone to do so. Just leave us in peace to do our own thing...

    The Other Cowboy Revolvers

    I've mentioned before how a touch of arthritis in my right hand makes it difficult for me to shoot the traditional Colt/Ruger style SA revolvers. Simply put, the shape of the plow handle grip causes the back of the trigger guard to beat the holy hell outta my middle finger knuckle. It only takes...

    Its been an interesting couple of days.

    We had a nasty storm blow through the Memphis area last Sunday evening. I live right next door in the City of Bartlett. It only lasted about 30 minutes, but winds got up to 80-90 mph. Lots of trees down and power out to 122,000 homes. Add temps in the 90s and it hasn't been fun. My power was out...

    Question about posting pictures?

    I'm still pretty new here and a of bit a technologically challenged old man. :rolleyes: So help me out. Other forums I belong to, to post a picture you have it on a hosting site and link to it with BB code. That doesn't seem to work here. But I have posted pics by uploading directly from my...
