When I started my time of precision shooting during my late teenage years I cleaned a rifle about like most people who don’t give it much thought. When I was in college I was lucky enough to be taken under the wing of a benchrest ( NBRSA) shooter with years of experience with match riflesContinue reading “Cleaning The Precision Rifle Barrel”

US&S M1911A1
The M1911A1 pictured below is special. it is an all matching US&S M1911A1. It is in beautiful shape. Finding one like this would take a very long time and cost a small fortune. In this case, it was restored. The gun was a effort of love by the owner of Moore Militaria ( http://www.mooremilitaria.com ) Continue reading “US&S M1911A1”
Winchester Model 97 Riot Shotgun
I have always loved the Model97. Just it’s look is iconic. I doubt any one has made it to adulthood as a gun enthusiast and not seen pictures of Marines in the Pacific, GIs in Vietnam or even some Doughboy in the trenches with a M97. That isn’t counting all the police units who haveContinue reading “Winchester Model 97 Riot Shotgun”

A Pristine Model 52
A guy in the pre64 collectors group flexed on us all with this beautiful Model 52 with custom box and accessories. Too bad for him its not as impressive as it would have been if he had a real Unertl.
New Colt 7.62×39 M4
Looks like Colt has decided to jump back into the x39 AR15 market. It’s been a long time since they offered a rifle in the commie round. The last one that was sold on the civilian market was the R6830 which I had one of for a while. You may recall I wrote a reviewContinue reading “New Colt 7.62×39 M4”
Lew Horton Model 29
Karl turned this interesting 6 shooter the other day. I never saw a 4 position front site before.
The Farmer 1977
The Farmer is a film that was, for a long time, considered a “lost movie”. Having had a small theatrical release and a couple of airings on cable, it then seemed to disappear. Now is a good time to rediscover it. The Farmer is a pure B movie, grindhouse-style action movie from the late 70sContinue reading “The Farmer 1977”
