Carolina Shooters Supply has Surefire 2 rounders in stock for $29.95..I have one and it works without a hitch....I polished the bolt and it will do 2+1

23,041..but I feel better now cause xjumper is OLD!

Any guy who has the patience to wait two years to fire a new gun DEFINITELY has the patience to convert one!

We have an organization here in west Virginia called "WV Citizens Defense League".. CDL is primarily concerned with protection of self defense/concealed carry laws here in our state, but has grown to be a voice for us in all state gun legislation. We have a representative at all legislature hearings, and a group "Legislature Lobby" day. NRA`s deal with Pelosi would throw groups like CDL under the bus..to save their own ass. Last time we even saw NRA reps here was when Heston showed up to stump for Gee Dub Ya..and thats been a while.

Chickens at 200 offhand is the first round in BPCR......Which allows me to prove just how bad an offhand shot I am. From 200 to five hundred im ok sitting..Beyond that I much prefer prone. For deer hunting I like sitting..mainly cause it keeps me from "fidgeting" so much.

Pauly, Not sure what level experience you have so forgive me if this is too basic..Ive hunted and killed deer with recurve, longbow, and a compound. By far the most enjoyable hunting for me was with the long bow. But there are a couple basics I felt should be mentioned...The longer a bow the more "forgiving" it is. The trend in modern compounds is shorter and shorter. No matter what type bow you get be absolutely positackly sure you match the arrows to the draw weight of the bow...If you buy the best equipment on the market and use under or over spined arrows they will not shoot worth a h

It is ironic that voices from the northland are now being raised in anger over government that wants total control of their lives....A mere 150 years after crushing the people of the South for saying it would happen. I can only say..Deo Vindice!

My fellow Amuricans..I wish to announce that if nominated I will not accept, and if elected I will not serve, as your squirrel czar. LBJ (PS) It has come to my attention that there are more than enough squirrels in this town already.

Arik, I dont have experience with Paras, but generally what I have heard has been very positive. My experience is with 1911 in general. Between my son and I we have owned in the neighborhood of seven or eight 1911`s and for every negative I list someone else will add a positive. My carry gun is an older Springfield Champion. It is simple, rugged, and shoots well. The first and probably foremost drawback to any 1911 is weight. Your 1911 "Mega Blaster Special" does you no good if its at home on the night stand cause you didnt want the weight with what you were gonna wear...And on a

Once I was bitten by the "Sharps bug",(Shiloh Number 3 Sporter) my muzzle loading dropped off a lot, but still use a 54 "flinchlock", a 36 turkey and squack rifle, and a repro 1858 Remington. I use Goex in all of em..I cant speak to the performance of Swiss..Ive never used it, but it has a heck of a reputation so must be good stuff. Goex burns well when compressed, and I make my own bullet lubes so fouling has not been a problem.

I wanted to do a "temporary" conversion so I could try turkey hunting with my S-12 next week..Then do a total home defense conversion later. I already had two AR butt stocks lying around..an Ace skeleton, and an original A2. I used the Mako and it worked..BUT.. It is made of plastic and you will do a lot of "fitting"...Took forever to get it that last 1/16 of an inch to fit against the back of the receiver. The biggest issue by far was when it came time to install the buffer tube...Be VERY cautious here. It is very easy to get it cross threaded. Also it gets so hard to turn you hav

This has probably been covered in some previous thread..but Im totally inept at finding old threads. It has been over a year since my last conversion.. so I used Moe`s excellent pictorial guide to refresh my memory. I was doing a very basic "trigger/buttstock" conversion so I could use the gun during our spring gobbler season. Things went fine till I got to removing the trigger guard. Moe said to bend the trigger guard up enough to allow drilling out the rivet underneath. I bent the trigger guard up and ..SNAP..broke off just ahead of the bend. If someone else is going to try tha

When I was a kid it was sop to tell kids that if something bad happened to run to a cop. The town I live in is so small the "welcome to" and "come back soon" is on the same sign. (pop. 2000) But our "police force" dresses as if they are going on a swat operation in the next five minutes...Would I tell a kid to run to them? Hell I would think twice before I approached them. And they seem to like it that way. i know policemen have a tough job in todays world..but if you dress and carry yourself as if you are a member of a military op, dont expect the average citizen to to feel all warm a

Hobby and Nalioth..Thanks guys. I hadnt thought about the change in grip. My son has got to deer hunt with me some the last few years, but this will be the first spring gobbler season he has been able to come to camp and hunt with me...I want to let him use my "old faithful" Ive used the last twenty or so years. This S12 will eventually be totally redone..including rust blued..to be my primary HD gun. Who knows..if this works out I may have an excuse for yet another S-12..Thanks again.

I like to have all the parts for a conversion on hand before doing any work...Also, because of weather and illness I havent had a chance yet to pattern my S-12. Im going to be using one of Cobras EXCELLENT choke adapters which will allow me to use one of my "xtra full" turkey chokes. I am ninety percent sure I can do this but thought I would ask the question...Am I missing a problem I might have if i install a G-2 and move it forward, but leave everything else bone stock? I know I can hunt with it as is, but if the S12 trigger is as crappy as my 223 was, Id really like to replace it before

Shannon..I just wanted to let you know I received my choke adapter today...What a great piece of work! If anyone should ask, most of my Mossberg "factory" tubes fit flush with the end. The Briley and HS Strut tubes extend the length a bit because of their design. You need to get feeling better and come up here and help thin out some of these spring gobblers! Wes

There seems to be a tendency when the "best gun for home defense" question is asked to answer "either/or." There is no one perfect home defense gun. Just like concealed carry, everything is a compromise. My son lives in a two story home with basement..Is a 45 or a 12 gauge in the bedroom going to do his wife any good if she is doing laundry in the basement? (They have no children in the home yet, so their solution is at least one gun on each floor stashed out of sight.) I live in a single level, small home... so my needs are different than his..or yours. I have hunted with rifles and shotg

Most of what we read about the war is either written by historians of today..or by generals who were many times trying to "improve" their performance in hindsight. In 1994 five "scrapbooks" were discovered in a Connecticut bank vault..They were priceless watercolor sketches done "on the scene" by a northern private named Robert Knox Sneden. Later, Snedens five thousand page "memoir" was also found. "Eye of The Storm" is the result of the combining of Snedens sketches, and his memoirs. Because of his artistic ability Sneden was saved from much of the "drudgery" of life as a private, and

If I had all the money I have spent on holsters over the years, I could probably buy a full-custom Wilson. Several years ago I bought a model 457 Smith. That gun would shoot anything I put through it (including my dog crap handloads with cast bullets) with ONE exception....CCI "snake loads". For some reason it wouldnt lock up. Like most of us do at times, I dummied up and sold that gun..and have regretted it ever since. During the time I carried the Smith, I discovered the "clip draw" and it was by far my favorite way to carry. After some time carrying a stainless snub 38 (that I couldnt

I dont know if this will be of any help to you but..the hand guards DO fit very tightly. But, since these guns are ground zero for the WECSOG way of doing things, I rubbed beeswax on the inside of the retainers and on the ends of the handguard. Then when it got very tight I laid a narrow strip of wood on the edge of the guard and "Persuaded" it with some taps wiff a hammer. Good luck.

I can tell em where all their damn ice went. I just got in from shoveling yet another nights worth of "global warming" off my walks.

Does it strike anyone else as a bit odd that a freaking newspaper has time to get in place to do a photo spread?..And even more odd..do they take them along for publicity shots when they raid a meth lab? Ole Heinrich would be proud.

Mine is Latin for..uhh..Sharps 45/70

Hi All...We all have read stories about someone doing something stupid with a firearm and getting hurt. (Or worse, hurting someone else) We read the story and think.."What a dummy!" Well..Today was my turn. I wanted to pass this along in case someone else runs into something similar. A friend wanted to shoot a couple of his rifles so I took him to the local gun club. Took along my Sharps and my newly converted Saiga. I recently bought a Surefire mag and wanted to see if it worked better than the Promags I bought. (It did..not a single FTF) After about half a mag I noticed a "hole"
