    Does the stiffer spring change the trigger pull?

    CWD Is Spreading Out of Control

    A friend has a hunting camp and acreage in Huntingdon PA. CWD slowly crept toward his area and it is now included in a CWD zone. He has let even nice bucks walk because of CWD. The butchers in the area have stopped processing game and he is leery of consuming the meat or of sharing it with...

    Omega Repair

    I bought an omega for my dad when they first came out. He traded it away in months saying the small trigger guard was too small for a gloved hand. Our muzzy season is in late December. Maybe he should have waited for climate change!

    TC white mountain carbine 50 cal opinions

    If the price is reasonable I would buy it. Light and easy to carry and accurate too, what’s not to like? Get a small TC tang peep, fix the trigger and you are good to go. 80 grains of BP and a TC maxi hunter bullet have killed a lot of deer and most anything else. I’ve even seen ones with a...

    broken stock

    I should do this with my White Mountain. I shoot a TC conical out of it and always worry. Then refinish the stock and maybe that heartsick feeling whenever I see it will go away!

    broken stock

    Here is a first year (1948) 20ga Browning Superposed with repairs made with Titebond 3. There were 2 checks that were caused by drying through the years. The large one is easily seen and the smaller one almost invisible at the end where the point is in the checkering. The large one was open and...

    broken stock

    Here is a photo of my TC White Mountain repaired with epoxy. No attempt was made to refinish the stock or disguise the repair. It’s held so far but maybe a screw under the tang would help. It really shattered when I dropped it on frozen ground.

    Is Guns.com a scam site

    I would be as hesitant as you are. It looks fishy but...I would look at all the listing sites and google the gun and really know what it is worth. Along the way I might see the same gun offered on another site or maybe just the pictures In an old listing, that would make me very wary. Since an...

    Is Guns.com a scam site

    When I purchased my Savage 219 as posted above, I made a counter offer about $50 or $75 dollars less than asking. My reply, as I recall, was within about 48 hours. The Savage 219 is not an expensive used gun all though it has a small but rather rabid group of followers. I paid $350 or so. When...

    1st time W/ a White

    When I received my used Whitetail the thin recoil lug looked liked a potato chip. The Bell and Carlson stock is very soft and the single action screw allowed the action to rock with the recoil of heavy loads. When I disassembled the rifle the area around the lug had compressed due to the soft...

    Whitetail to the range

    The Lightning gets my love too. It’s light, points well, accurate, and it’s a White. If only I could have one in 45!

    Is Guns.com a scam site

    I bought a Savage 219 30-30 bored out to 375 Winchester off guns.com. The purchase went through without a hitch and the rifle went to my dealer over the course of about a week. Maybe things have changed but I had a good experience a year ago. They have been hacked twice so internet security has...

    broken stock

    I dropped my White Mountain on frozen ground and it cracked like yours. I repaired it with epoxy and so far it has held. The repair is noticeable. The problem with epoxy is if you close the crack you risk squeezing all the epoxy out and starve the joint. I use Titebond 3 now for repairs. It’s...

    Remington sued?

    My early 90s REM ML has been fine but if I ever shoot it again, I’ll use extra caution. I’ve been meaning to try it with BH209. It’s set up with a sealed breech system that was sold here on the forum years ago.

    cva optima v2 pistol

    Here is my pistol/carbine. It weighs exactly 6 pounds as you see it. I plan to rework the grip and try to make it look better but it is very shootable as is, just ugly. Once I get the shape right I might even try some stippling with a soldering iron.

    Desperately need help with firearms decision

    Reliability under adverse conditions is more important than accuracy. 7.62x39 is cheaper and more available right now than 5.56x45. Use that stimulus check wisely!

    Desperately need help with firearms decision

    If you live in a state that allows private sales between residents, only buy this way. This is important. Pay cash. Buy a decent AK. Buy 8 or 10 30 round magazines. Pay cash. Buy 2 or 3K rounds. Pay cash. I would avoid Century Arms if possible. A comblock or chicom built AK47 with a chrome...

    Scoped and Ready

    My Whitetail came to me with a bent recoil lug. The combination of a thin lug, only one action screw, a relatively soft plastic stock, and heavy loads was no doubt the cause. Whitetails are known to have this issue. I straightened the lug in a vise without removing the barrel and added a rear...
