Hunting & Shooting

I took a young man out yesterday for some basic firearms fundamentals and “Manual of arms.”  We started out with some coffee and the review of the three basic rules of firearms safety. 1 – Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded. 2 – Never point a firearm at anything you do not…

I was looking at a couple old Stevens Maynard Jr barrels today. I could see where rifling used to be in one of the barrels. It was pretty flat, but you could still see the gentle swirl down the barrel if you caught the light just right. Yeah, its going to need to be bored…

Is This The Dumbest Little Pea Shooter or… #short #black powder #NAA #22 #cap #ball Quick View of the North American Arms .22 Black Powder Cap And Ball Revolver. For more follow my channel here on Rumble. In most US states you can have cap & ball and flintlock hand guns, rifles, and shotguns shipped…

If you have followed this site for very long, you will know that I found many of Paul’s videos entertaining and educational over the years.  Leave it to Paul to go out with a splash of showmanship like an actor killed off in a TV show getting to play one more scene.  

Here I break down a simple sound suppressor as designed by the manufacturer on the Benjamin Marauder air rifle. VIDEO BELOW. In case your country blocks Rumble due to its free speech policies I also uploaded to YouTube.

My newish yard toy arrived… wow, almost a month ago. I have missed the weight balance of a bullpup ever since I sold my .25 Kalibre Cricket several years ago. The thing is I never found another bull pup at the right price at the right time until recently, and as long as I take…

I really go into PCP air rifles for a while.  I’ve got a .177 Marauder I regulated that shoots about 120 shots on a fill at 920 feet per second.  Its more than adequate for short range pest control, and even hunting.  At practical airgun ranges its a little under powered at about 20FPE at…

One of my projects is this double 16 ga “MAC SXS Shotgun – manufacture nat. d’armes de chat” (C&R) action I bought a while ago. Stock and action is complete. No barrels, block, or forend. I found a good deal on a couple unfinished generic barrels a while back and put them in the safe…

General Info: It should be obvious, but nobody is going to ship a gun to anybody but a federal firearms license holder.  If you are an 01 or 07 license holder you should have no issues in that regard except for the exceptions listed listed below.  If you are an 03 license holder qualified guns…

I know of three revolvers that as near as I can tell the model name is also the caliber. Dan Wesson 357 Magnum Colt 357 Magnum (“I frame” if I recall is the first Colt model chambered in 357 magnum.  Yes, before the Trooper (Trooper existed in 38 special)) Astra 357 Magnum (Spanish made &…

1899 (1904 or 1905) 303 Savage I’m looking at an 1899 Savage right now. Probably made in around 1904, but possibly as late as 1905 depending on who you believe. It’s chambered in 303 Savage. Savage’s answer to the 30-30 Winchester. (Yes, I know they aren’t the same. LOL) It’s got the half octagon barrel…

Remington Rand 1911A1 Pistol What can you tell me about it and its history? I was not really aware of it until I ran across this one owned by a friend. It was his dad’s service weapon in WWII. First I looked up its value using the completed sales option on Gun Broker, and then…

They may never monetize this video, so you might need to subscribe to see it. (Non-monetized videos are only visible to subscribers on Rumble.) A short series on finishing out an 80% 1911 frame for a 1911 22LR pistol. Rumble’s rules do not allow me to show actual manufacturing, but I intend to show everything…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Well, technically not the weekend for us.  We hunted Friday and Saturday.  I’m not going to say exactly where, but it was high desert… well kinda middle high desert.  It was high enough both mornings I considered grabbing my jacket out of the Jeep. We didn’t see a ton of birds, but we saw them…

President Proudly Supports VETO PROOF BILL that reverses presidents own explicit overreach of power. “Bullshit. You just got overwhelmingly shot down, and now you want to try and take credit for doing the right thing after being forced to do the right thing against your will. ” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-house-confirms-biden-will-sign-bipartisan-bill-reversing-his-own-admin-s-crackdown-on-hunting/ar-AA1hp1Mw?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=c649b34a70f74861a96df3a6bf6cb89b&ei=11#image=AA1gn0Uq|1

As usual Jared kind of gets over excited and overstates some points. However, at this time it does not look like the forest service will be bullied into issuing lead ammo bans in national forests. As stated in the video however this will not necessarily have any effect on state laws and regulations as the…

It was a special day for me. I got to hunt with a couple friends, but more so, my son bought his own license and wanted to join us. I didn’t shoot very well. Not compared to my last couple years, but I shot enough. Of course we finished up with bacon wrapped dove poppers….

You can convert a 1911 pistol to 22LR as fast as you can field strip and reassemble it. It takes me a few minutes. A skilled armorer might be able to do it in under a minute. In this video we will: 1. Field strip a replica of a 1911A1 Pistol. 2. Convert it to…

VIDEO: Jarred tends to overstate the points, but this is interesting regarding the right to carry across state lines. This case is in regards to two states that DO NOT have reciprocity agreements. Massachusetts and New Hampshire. This was in the (State District Court), so it has no bearing anyplace other than Massachusetts. Yeah, I…
