So well said HH!

During the last administration, when the ATF had it's zero tolerance policy, a small LGS owner died, and his daughters were too afraid to continue the business, for fear of getting in trouble. They had a slow and long "going out of business sale" for everything except firearms, that probably...

Mark, I'm sorry this is happening to you, I saw your post on Facebook as well. Stand up strong, meet them head on, that will turn most of them away, the rest will scatter when you look at them with that "Is that all you've got look", and they realize their backup ran for the hills...

Someone mentioned having ammo for guns you don't own ... Many years ago, When cleaning out my grandfather's stuff, I found a mostly full box of .32 Winchester Special ammo. Not knowing much about it, and never having known Pop to shoot anything but .35 Rem for deer, I of course decided I had...

Buying ammo “as needed” presupposes availability. That’s how most of us got to where we are today. It’s a crappy feeling realizing that what you need isn’t available, or even it is available but cost 2 or 3X what it was last time. Some Powder and Primers are often scarce as well. For a long...

Doesn’t open until 4/30 here in CT.

Very interesting thread called ‘How many Guns are Too Many?’ Some also took the opportunity to discuss/ comment there about ‘How many guns are enough?’ That got me wondering, How much ammo is enough? Some ammo is easy to find, or usually is. Years ago, I’d just replace what I had shot after...

Good for you, Good luck with this new venture!

Very very nice trophy room, and really nice trophies! I agree with those who say that having the mounts vs just pictures means a lot to them. Do whatever makes you happy. I have started getting bigger Canvas Prints made of my animals and scenes from the hunts, but they are there to add to the...

I’ll be following this thread closely, Good luck on your adventure! When you get your arrows built, let us in on what the specs are on your shafts and broadhead.

03/29/1911 - 03/29/2025 Today, we celebrate the greatest automatic handgun in history... On this day, 114 years ago, Lt. Col. John T. Thompson (yes, of Thompson Sub Machine Gun fame) sent a letter to the Colt's Manufacturing Company in Hartford Connecticut informing them that their .45...

Wow, is about all I’ve got!

The CMP pistols are in surprisingly good shape for as old as they are. They are functional and in issuable condition. Obviously not new, BUT how can one say they love 1911s and not have one that likely saw action? Of course you can buy cheaper but You know the price is reasonable when you see...
