Belt Fed 22 cal Machine Gun
If you like the full auto stuff, this one might be for you. I will say that it at least sparks my interest, but I don’t know if it’s worth the tax stamp. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abTGAP7tG0Y]

If you are reading this post I assume that you are an average shooter who does not have access to a parts washer to help you clean your guns. If you want to get the fouling out of your trigger mechanisms without total disassembly you have a few options to help you get the job done. One is Powder Blast from the Break Free line of products. This a good product that works well and quickly dries on your parts without much residue. It smells like oranges and is not flammable. Another plus is that it doesn’t require a lot of ventilation...

I recently saw someone running with an ASP, presumably for protection from 4 legged predators in our neighborhood. It got me to thinking about some of your options when you are exercising. I live in a very calm urban environment for the most part, but in other places I live there have been real threats to exercise like bears and wild dogs that were turned loose by their owners at the end of hunting season. A person is often most vulnerable while exercising because they don’t carry much, and they are normally very focused on the...
read moreAt What Point Is Your Gun A Lost Cause?
From time to time I get a gun in the shop that someone has inherited or been given, and they won’t to know if it is safe to shoot, or if it can be fixed. In the life of every gun there is a chance that it will have an owner that doesn’t maintain it. When that happens the damage can be disastrous. You have to ask yourself whether or not the gun is salvageable. If it is badly rusted, it is going to be tough to get right again without a serious time and money investment. If the bore is bad, you will have to rebarrel the gun which...

read moreWinchester 290
I recently wrote a post about a Winchester 190 that had come to the shop for a detailed cleaning. Having not been familiar with the 190, I have been surprised to see how much traffic that post has attracted. Evidently there are a lot of you out there who have found this great gun to be fun to shoot through the years. Because of the interest, I thought I would follow it up with some information I found about the Winchester 290. The 290 is the same gun as the 190 with some very minor external variations. The main difference is that the 290...

On Monday, in many places, dove season will get started to open the fall hunting season. If you have never had the opportunity to hunt doves, you owe it to yourself to get with some guys who know their way around the dove field. It is so much fun to be out with the guys or the family and spend Labor Day hunting these birds. By the way, they taste pretty good! Before you go out remember these things; Clean your gun and remove any oil from the barrel before you shoot. Make sure you take your choke tubes and wrench. OFF. There are still...
read moreKershaw Chive
If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Kershaw line of products you should get to your local retailer and spend a few minutes playing with their designs. One of our customers loves this little knife for his everyday carry companion. The chive is a small knife for pocket carry. The blade is just less than 2″. It utilizes the Ken Onion Design opening system that makes it esy to deploy one handed with the touch of a finger. One thing we love about this knife is that pocket clip can be removed so you can carry it without...
