    New To Slug Guns Need Some Input

    Pre cantilever barrels and bolt action slug guns everyone around here used pump shotguns with slug barrels and we drilled and tapped the receiver to accept a scope base. The weak link was the fact that the barrel and receiver are two different pieces. We drilled, tapped and "pinned" the...

    Drought for the west

    Finally getting some much needed rain in Indiana. 2" In my gauge from the last 12 - 14 hours. Hopefully the ponds, lakes and all the wetlands will get filled back up.

    New To Slug Guns Need Some Input

    Check around the midwest where many states have in recent years switched from slug gun regs to centerfire rifles. Very few are using shotguns setup for slugs and they can be acquired pretty cheap. The gun shops and gun shows are full of them.

    Minnesota Shotgun Zone going to Rifle

    I'm in Indiana and we switched to rifles over a decade ago. Wasn't in favor of it then, and I'd still prefer we would have just stuck with shotguns. The shotgun requires closer range shots and made things a bit more sporting and challenging. Seems like every deer hunting rule change we've...

    Car Insurance - (For 16 year-olds)

    I went straight to work right out of high school and one of my first brilliant decisions was to buy a brand new 1979 Camaro. Insurance back then for an 18 year old ran about $120 per month which was terrible, but all my buddies were doing the same thing and we had cool cars. Got rid of that...

    Car Insurance - (For 16 year-olds)

    Don't rule out making the kid(s) get a job to help with the cost of some of this stuff. It's a good wake up call, showing them what is to be expected in adulthood. At todays labor rates it wouldn't take a lot of work to earn $3,000.

    Yellowstone Spinoff Marshals

    I think they chose a poor character (Jamie) to build Marshalls around. He wasn't exactly all that entertaining in Yellowstone and a lot of that drama between him and his wife sucked the fun out of some Yellowstone episodes. The real Jewel characters in Yellowstone IMO were; Beth, Loyd, Rip...

    New Illinois bill wants handgun ammo serialized

    I think most of the rural sheriffs in IL have said that they are not going to pursue or enforce this stuff. There are already millions of these so called assault weapons in the state that were legally purchased and are owned and used responsibly by law abiding citizens. No way in h#ll they can...

    New Illinois bill wants handgun ammo serialized

    I live in IN but own property and spend a fair amount of time in Rural IL. 80% Of the IL land mass is occupied by good conservative people and they can't stand the government they get out of Springfield and Chicago. Unfortunately, these two cities politics rule the state. All IL is...

    The evolution of a dream shop build. Eventually with pics.

    I think the upstairs apartment is a poor idea. Do a larger building with living quarters on the ground floor and a fire wall between it and the shop. You will get real tired of those stairs every time you need to bring something into the house.
