    Remington Settles $73m with Sandy Hook families

    As I understand it, Remington is defunct. It was the insurers that settled. Bad decision. Had it gone to court, it is reasonable to expect that the plaintiffs would have lost.

    Thompson Center Benchmark 22 target rifle

    Sucks getting old. Heavy recoil would probably put me in the hospital. Motorcycle has to go this spring as well.

    Likewise. Now I just sit out back with a bolt 44 mag and would never even think about my slug gun or 308.

    Thompson Center Benchmark 22 target rifle

    It's kind of a thing, I've always had something that I bough for one reason or another and just never used it. I've got a brand new BAR Mk3 on the wall that always wanted for deer hunting up north. My deer hunting days are pretty much over, the rifle has never been fired, or even outside of...

    Thompson Center Benchmark 22 target rifle

    Those rifles were spoken of as very accurate, but the mags were a bit sketchy...and hard to find. The way things are today, I can't imagine you would have any trouble selling it for a bit more than you paid.

    Elmers makes a wood filler that, in MHO, sands very well and takes stain good to boot. You could try the saw dust and epoxy, but the epoxy won't take color. Correction, "won't take stain" ....there are dyes/colorants that can be added to epoxy to color it. I put new handles on a chefs knife...

    who manufactures the BEST 22cal semi-auto rifle

    I'll stir the pot. Sold my 10/22 and purchased a Remington 597...years ago. It was finicky, magazine issues early on, although I never had a problem I have purchased the upgrade mags. But it is dialed in and will shoot 50yd cloverleafs all day. I've also got an old Mossy semi that I've...

    Average price in NYS for a long gun transfer?

    My last experience back in August was $50. Plain robbery by a guy I've known and done business with for over twenty years. No more. My barber has gone the same route, haircut is now $25, and he doesn't even work fulltime any more. I don't begrudge anybody who is in business to charge...

    Putting Guns in Storage

    As mentioned above, ensure that your agreement with the storage facility allows firearms. My wife's elderly aunt got into a shit storm in Massachusetts when it was discovered she had an antique rifle stored at a one. State police got called, took a whole day for them to figure out she violated...

    No more P3AT?

    Just poking around this morning, and stumbled into some talk about Kel Tec discontinuing production of the P3AT. One more production run and it's done. The story went that the 32 cal pistol would still be manufactured, and perhaps some new 380 acp would be produced. I checked the Kel Tec site...

    Windage Adjustable Scope Rings

    They would not work on this rifle. It's an old Mossberg bolt gun and the scope mount is a custom item from Havlin's. The mount accepts Weaver style rings, and I suppose Picatinny stuff as well. It's said that these rifles are super accurate. Bull barrel and hand lapped bore. The thing is...

    Windage Adjustable Scope Rings

    The rings arrived, they do not qualify as "pretty" but it seems that they will do the job. One good thing so far is that the scope sits a little bit lower now. I didn't get to boresight the rig as it was raining, again...... This wet weather this summer is crazy.

    Windage Adjustable Scope Rings

    Shopping around, I found Weaver, Millet, and Burris make rings that are adjustable. The Weaver rings were the least expensive...not Grand Slam though. And it turned out I had a set of the Millet Angle Locs, but they are some kind of weird silver color. The Burris rings use plastic inserts...

    Windage Adjustable Scope Rings

    I have a 22 cal rifle that was drilled and tapped for a scope mount. It turns out that the drilling was a small bit off...I ran out of windage adjustment on the scope. I messed around with it for a while and no doubt about it, the mount is not completely parallel to the axis of the bore...

    Why can’t I find slugs??

    Years ago a bought a Hastings rifled barrel for my Ithaca, yes those sabots are expensive. When shotgun zones went rifle I went with a 77/44. Slug gun in rifle form. A lot lighter too.
