  1. It wouldn't be a bad thing to attend. The TWRA receives Federal grant money based on the number of students they have in the hunter education course. Take a neighbor kid along and attend. You might like it.
  2. My wife swears by the Galco purses.
  3. It takes me a while to reload a muzzleloader, but that doesn't keep me from enjoying muzzleloader season. I sometimes hunt with a single shot as well. If you hit what you are aiming at, the second shot isn't very helpful. You might want to rethink the people you hang around.
  4. Look around and find a used Model 37 Ithaca. If you can't find one, the BPS will do. I like either, as I am left handed, and they eject out the bottom.
  5. Yes. I would think that your local boy scout troop would love to get it. My son is a scout, and the often have various competitions where something like that could serve as a prize. It would be a good place to get rid of it.
  6. To the OP: Since no one else has the fortitude to ask, I will. Have ya hit it yet?
  7. Yeah...you, me, and the other 9000 guys who will open this thread.
  8. Not at all what I expected. You will get a lot of hits on this thread.
  9. Is it their policy to search you before going through a lock?
  10. Yeah...the 10mm is too small. I like the BFR 45-70 for everyday carry. It has superior penetration to the 10mm.

    Glock Vs 1911

    I'll sure be glad when Glock comes out with a 1911!
  12. Sounds like her fiance has a rough road ahead.
  13. +1

    Any competent gunsmith can improve the factory trigger for you for a nominal fee. If you don't completely understand the inner workings of the trigger, I'd discourage you from stoning on it yourself. I agree with GunTroll; the Model 70 Winchester had the perfect trigger. Why they changed it, I don't know.
  15. Sounds like a good plan.
  16. Sorry. I sure did misread. I thought it said "tell my why you do or don't open carry.":hiding:
  17. He's full of feces. I dont know anyone who's ever worn out an 870 . A pump will impart more recoil than a gas operated auto, but I sure don't understand why they wouldn't hold up to shooting 100 rounds of light target loads. Look for a gently used Remington 1100. Wal Mart sells a Beretta 391 auto that isn't very expensive. It is the same action as their more expensive counterparts, but lack the fancy wood stocks and highly polished metal.
  18. They are quality knives. They are heavy, however, and the way the tip of the blade is shaped means you will almost certainly bust a gut open with it. I prefer a straight tip; a skinner style blade. I like high dollar knives, but the truth is you can take around $20 to the Walmart sporting goods counter and get a knife that will gut more deer than you'll ever shoot. Gerber, Buck, and Kershaw are all good quality, inexpensive knives sold there. For hunting, I prefer a fixed knife to a folder, but that is purely personal preference.
  19. That pretty well sums it up. You can't go wrong.

    Sporters

    No. My father builds them. I did cut down the Mexican with the military stock. The second one in the bottom picture came as a basketcase with that stock blank included in the deal. It is a bit short, but one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I've ever seen. I don't know what variety of walnut it is. The very bottom one is a commercial sporter called a Musketeer. It now belongs to another forum member.
  21. I think you'd simply have to purchase another hammer and you'd be good to go. Gun Parts Corporation should have them. Smith and Wesson might be able to sell you one as well. If I wanted one to carry, I'd prefer a bobbed hammer. I have several rervolvers, and I believe the 19-2 is just about the perfect all around revolver.
  22. Not a BAR, but I've had 742 Remingtons in the past, and they'd cycle anything I loaded. I would expect the same from a Browning.

    Do you feel the same way about Mausers? The reason for it started way back when. You could buy a surplus military rifle for next to nothing, and turn it into a hunting rifle for a fraction of the cost of a new rifle. Money was tight, so this was an attractive option. It is also nice to have a custom rifle built just for you, so it is an art form that has stayed with us. The "Bubbafacation" of guns is another matter.
  24. My LCP has two springs around the giude rod.
