I'll post an update on this thread in the near future. We ended up shooting at "Shoot Las Vegas", which was fun, but had some negative aspects I'll comment on later. We did the big Ferris wheel ("the link") and the roller coaster in New York, New York (possibly my favourite roller coaster ever; it w...

So I'm sending my 12" 870 in for choke threading and cerakote. I want to add a breacher choke to the end of the barrel and extend the mag tube to the same length, less an integral qd sling attachment. I've built the tube already, extra long. I just need to cut off the excess and rethread it to the d...

Been planning on buying one of these for a while ... https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51qWFSuUVjL._AC_SY400_.jpg And one of these ... https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91-850we8RL._AC_SL1500_.jpg So lately I've been thinking about making them one and the same. Probably...

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this. But Harbor Freight sells a Pelican like case for a fraction of the cost. And it gets pretty good reviews. For something that you likely to just fit in your car or bug out location it would fit the bill perfectly. Their brand is called Apache. We don't have H...

Asking what happens in an emergency is on the to do list when we call into the municipal office to start planning our cabin. Making a clearing large enough for a helicopter is on my to do list come spring. Regardless, you can bleed out from a chainsaw accident faster than you can get to the road or ...

I do believe in the "buy the bag last" practice. I will not be purchasing anything until the stock is fully acquired. I just figured there would be limited options that fill every requirement I've listed. My current provider level is ... Basic plus? I've taken CPR/first aid courses since I was 8, bu...

I'm starting to compile items to stock a basecamp first aid kit to be used on property I acquired in December. The property is off the beaten path, may take a while to get emergency medical attention, so the kit will need to be fairly comprehensive. Should be built to care for 2-6 people. There's cu...

Thanks everyone. So far, it's just been a lot of planning, prioritizing, discussing with the wife our own expectations of the property. While we're mostly on the same page, where we differ, she has sound logic behind her thinking. Our next opportunity will to visit the property probably won't be unt...

So as of Tuesday, an offer was accepted on a 10 acre wooded lot in Central* Ontario. The land is solid coniferous forest with 110 yard frontage on a municipal road allowance, about 3/4 of a mile south of the maintained road. About a mile from two separate lakes in opposite directions. The neighbouri...

So, without further delay, here's my newest addition to my casting set up ... I started with a home made forge torch, built along the lines of some outlined on YouTube ... Inspired by designs like this ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaaH1SbrVpU&feature=youtu.be Instead of drilling through holes ...

Here's the problem with EMP prepping: no one knows anything. The "experts" say a lot of different things. Some say a solid steel box is the only option, some say plug everything into grounded surge protectors and you'll be fine. But are they talking about an atmospheric nuclear EMP or a solar flare ...

That barrel tension adjustment seems to be an important bit! I'll have to look up the Chiappa manual and see what they offer.

You never really stated your purpose for it but it seems to me like a Chiappa mares leg in .357 might be right for you.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

But do I want a standard variety Mare's Leg, or a takedown version?!

I'm putting my casting production on steroids in the near future. Just a teaser post to get the ol' blood flowing.

Sorry to post and split. I'm (less than) three weeks away from getting married. Kind of got derailed from my original post. I'm looking at a Chiappa mares leg in .357, and while a lot can be done with a solid 586 (686), or GP100, they don't fit my needs (in Canada). Lots of great options out there f...

I've been eyeing a Mare's leg variety gun for a while now. I keep coming back to the Chiappa take down selection ... a take down rifle has some advantages, especially in the packability department. But moving parts ... move? Who's got experience with take down firearms, and what are some things to b...

Alright, so my fiance's best friend is celebrating her 30th birthday this year, and we're thinking about doing the weekend in Vegas, Friday (night), Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday (morning). So for those who have done Vegas, or live there, what is worth doing, and what's worth skipping? The goal ...

if anyone could lay out the hierarchy Marketing. Fire millions of rounds and you can gain a larger market. Otherwise, you are like everyone else. One stoppage might get attention online but it means nothing to the guy/gal whose rifle has not had a mis.... While that's valid, an off brand manufactur...

I'm curious if anyone could lay out the hierarchy of AR parts manufacturers? I suspect I see over representation of lower quality brands, who choose to supply the Canadian market, while top tier manufacturers don't bother jumping through as many ITAR hoops because they are happy with the much larger...

Mid layer down has become a trendy fashion in the past couple of years. Does it stand up to real world use outside of urban centres? I've always stayed away from down/synthetic shells for outdoors purposes, because the odds are if I'm in the woods, I will likely be near a fire at some point, and an ...

So I just got the Warrior/Emerald lever action in the mail today. Very pleased initially. Despite a rather rough action, I think it has potential. It's actually very closely based off an 870, which I'm very happy about, because that's the shotgun platform I'm most invested in already. Pictured here ...

FTFY. Thanks. Is that "Warrior" shotgun the same as the Adler lever shotgun that the Australians get ? They look pretty similar and given that both are Turkish guns, it wouldn't surprise me if they were the exact same gun just with different names for different markets. Looks a little different fro...

There's a pretty sweet looking turkish, 12", 12 guage, lever action up for sale near me at a reasonable price ($300 shipped). Talk me out of it? I just bought a $1500 suit for my wedding in September and I know I shouldn't, but these things didn't last long when the Canadian distributor brought them...

That's pretty good halfapint. A lot of guys talk down about reloading for 9mm and .223, because of the availability of cheap/surplus ammo. But your recipe sounds like a sweet spot.
