My old lady definitely knows me

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and to those who don't, hi! I recently had a bit of a health scare, part of which is a long story, but I have type 2 diabetes (not new for me) but due to divorce and depression (a couple of years ago, I'm far better now) I ignored my routine control of it...

Anyone mind sharing some recipes for cooking tree rat? I've never had it let alone cooked it and I'm going hunting tomorrow for the first time so I'm being optimistic. I'm hoping to get bag limit which is 6. I keep hearing squirrel stew but what else is there?

A good video on one of the earliest "assault weapons"

I've been researching for awhile now on how to make small shot such as #4,5 and 6 bird shot. I've come across shot makers that would cost around $500 and others nearly free or low cost. I've also come across old methods made new again. A few 18th century methods I've found

I remember as a kid a guy my mom dated named Rick. He was a falconer and was going to take me on as his apprentice but it never happened unfortunately. Other than the intense birds of prey he had (a red tail hawk male and a fierce looking kestrel) he smoked a pipe and it has always stuck with me...

Then we can be friends

Looking for suggestions for a 9MM PCC, ideally one that takes glock mags. Would like to keep it at $800 or less. The first one that comes to mind is Ruger's PC Carbine but would like other suggestions

Fred is among my top 3 men. I don't have enough time in the day to write about all the good things my Great-Uncle Fred did. He was married for 45 years to the love of his life until her death in 2009. He was a Marine who served in Korea. He was like a grandfather to me. His funeral was today...

I'm a veteran. Served in Iraq late in the war 09-10 and left there as Operation New Dawn was kicking off. I turned 21 in Iraq in 2009 and had a Near Beer there (non alcoholic beer) for my birthday. I proudly tell people I'm a veteran and on Memorial day when people see my veteran stickers or...

Does anyone make their own black powder? If you do, what do you store it in? I know glass is risky due to possible static build up

If you like rock locks, percussion locks or old guns in general

I'm listening to a book called Breath, which initially sounds boring but if you like science, biology and ways to make yourself better or just understand our own biology this is a great book. The author is James Nestor. If you listen to JRE, Joe has also spoken with him about this subject...

I'm not a fan of polymer. I understand why it's so widely used but that doesn't mean I like it. So I want to replace my stock on my single shot but am having zero luck finding a replacement. I was wondering if anyone knew of some places to look but I'm guessing with the gun being such a cheap...

Funny, solemn, sweet, wise, whatever they may be post 'em here! My favorite is from Home Alone 2: "Get out of here you dirty little pervert or I'm gonna slap you silly!"

Does anyone know if there are any "you build" kits similar the Traditions style or AR platform rifles but specifically old west guns? Lever actions, single shots and the like? I found a Sharp's action for sale made by a company but a complete rifle was over $5k. Is there a possibility of...

Figures the French are so willing to give up their guns. The govt is destroying historical pieces (with some exempt) in the name of "safety" and what "could" happen, like a Luger getting in the hands of criminals...

My grandfather's widow doesn't know guns very well and brought down what she thought was a shotgun and a rifle. Unfortunately, one was a Savage bolt action new about 10 years ago. The other is a Remington 513 that was built sometime in the 40s. The scope is original and the sling may be as well...
