Beautiful Outdoorsman there! The pre-war revolvers just have a different level of fit and finish than the guns from the 1950s on. I really enjoy shooting my early post-war Outdoorsman:

I'm a big fan of the Stihl sharpeners, and have two of them for different chain sizes. This video seems timely to the discussion:

The trap bar does make it "easier," and that is why it is such a useful piece of equipment: it permits you to lift heavier weights than you might be able to lift with a conventional barbell deadlift....
Perhaps they're just carrying on the CBS tradition started by "Magnum P.I.", where Selleck carried a .45 at small-of-the-back without a holster?
We travelled about seven miles south of our house for the 2017 Eclipse (we're about 20-miles south of Portland) and it took us over three hours to get home--and this is the area I grew up in, so I...

I haven't used this service, but I've heard good things for several years about his re-bores and it would be a quick way into a 35 caliber rifle if you have a spare '06...
One thing I've tried in the past to address squat depth is heavy-ish singles. I found that only doing one rep left me free to concentrate entirely on doing that rep correctly, and not subconsciously...
One sometimes overlooked aspect of the use of large diameter lead semi-wadcutters and LBT-style hunting bullets is the ability to punch through and provide an exit hole, which can make tracking...
I've seen the dual pins on several N-frames and pre-N frame 38/44's. I had a 4" no-dash M28 that had the dual pins with the standard ramp. Sometimes the pins are left domed like the pins in the...
Are there any markings on the stock? The stock '03 Sporter I had, which looked quite similar to yours, was marked "Bishop" on either the buttplate or the pistol grip cap, I can't recall which. It...
I used to have one just like that, complete with the long-slide Lyman rear target sight and 1950s vintage after market stock. Great gun, and I regret letting it go. I agree with Okie John that...
Saw it today on the IMAX: excellent movie and well worth paying a premium to see on the really big screen. Some observations:
1. We saw five previews--only one appeared to be an original story,...

Probably the best of the grunge-era MTV Unplugged concerts.
What's the general consensus on 60-70cc saws for running a 28" bar? The 20" bar on my 50cc Husqvarna is great for small jobs but is tedious when bucking big Fir logs into rounds for firewood. I've...
First I want to say thank you to those of you who suggested where I start to look for hunting. That led me to getting in touch with some great people and ironically a father of one of my prior...
One thing to keep in mind with K-frame 22's is that they often have tight chambers, which, after a few cylinders of fouling, can make extraction and loading difficult. This can be mitigated by...
It is listed on Taurus' website as a small frame revolver; it appears to be the same frame size as the Taurus 856. I'm looking forward to an alloy frame version.

I’m in for three of the 432’s. Looking forward to a run of 317’s regulated for the Federal Punch round.
As for the QC issue, I’m cautiously optimistic. I’ve had to send several Rugers back to the...
With diligent shopping in local stores--not online auctions--I've found several clean Belgian and Portugal assembled Browning Hi-Powers for reasonable (sub-$1,000) prices. I didn't buy them because...
Thanks!
Thread bump for a question: can the front pocket of the Runner's Kit Bag fit a "Max" size iPhone? My phone is 6.5" tall with its case and I'd like to able to hold it vertically in the front pocket.
Third millennial to reply; I was born in '81.

Just bought one; tried to buy two but it said the seller only had one available. Great little lights.
What's the consensus on the blued Mec-Gar magazines for the P89? Local shop has a very nice P89 in the case for $299 and if the Mec-Gar mags are good to go I think I may become a P89 owner. My...
