    Scariest movie ever?

    Alien, it was at the theater for months and my wife and I went to see it at an afternoon matinee right before it left, sitting in the middle of probably 300 seats we were the only ones there. Also for some reason I rented The Ring and found that pretty scary. I don’t find anything scary anymore.

    Mountain Lion Attack El Dorado County

    California had two verified mountain lion attacks that proved fatal in 1994 and another in 2004, they didn’t change anything and I’m sad to say I doubt this one will either. See attached. In my area we’ve had two mushroom pickers go missing, one a number of years ago and one only a few months...

    ideas needed for a speed six 2" holster

    I've purchase holster's from Caldwell Gunleather. He's a one man shop and can probably build you any type of holster you want, his build quality is top notch, I think his prices are fair and I wouldn't hesitate recommending him. I used to have his card but I can't find it but you can contact him...

    Recommendations on buying a Dremel.

    I couldn't possibly list everything I've used mine for since I got mine back in 1974. The short list is building scale models, gun polishing/deburing/cleaning, polishing guitar nuts and sanding edges of pick guards, inlaying, cutouts for installing speakers in cars, etcetera. My grandson is...

    Recommendations on buying a Dremel.

    I bought my Dremel moto-tool (the pocket sized machine shop) somewhere around 1974, came in a plastic molded case with all the attachments, it's corded since that was the only way they came then and has the round rotary multi speed knob. It's held up for me all these years and has to be one of...

    Manual safety on semi auto's or not?

    When I’m out hunting with a shotgun or a rifle it’s lightning fast to take the safety off, I’ve done it hundreds of times at game before I pulled the trigger. The pistol I use for conceal carry doesn’t have a manual safety that I have to release before I shoot a target, I just draw and fire...

    22lr carry for defense??

    My daughter is a small, lightweight young woman and she had nothing but problems with her Glock 42 .380 cycling, she could never get through a full magazine without FTF, stove pipes, etc, nothing wrong with the gun her husband and I could shoot it just fine. She moved on to an Sig 365 9mm about...

    DISAPPOINTED W/"NEW" 1022 Trigger Assembly

    I took mine apart and worked on it, using all the factory parts I have it down to 3lbs 1oz and it totally passes the safety and drop tests. Probably should have just bought quality replacement parts and thrown away the junky Ruger internals. I’m going to drill out and tap the trigger for an over...

    DISAPPOINTED W/"NEW" 1022 Trigger Assembly

    I bought a new Ruger 10/22 and was also very disappointed in the factory trigger. The rifle weighed 5lbs 7oz scoped, the trigger pull was 5lbs 13oz. It does go bang when you pull the trigger but It sure doesn’t make for a very accurate gun when the trigger pull is over the weight of the rifle.

    Lightweight .22 rifle recommendations.

    Yes you're correct, they just might as well have painted it brown on the one I own. I remember when I first saw this type of finishing on the backs and necks of guitars, the guitar company's said "it makes it sounds better, more airy and open without all that thick finish muting the natural...

    Ivory vs Bone ????

    I don’t know know why the add didn’t explain what it’s used for but they probably didn’t know, a picture’s worth a thousand words so here’s a video on making a leather holster that’ll show you how it’s used. Fast forward to 23:38 that’s when he starts using it.

    Lightweight .22 rifle recommendations.

    I can see by your tailgate picture you’re already out shooting it. What I noticed with my 24” barreled Marlin and CZ in how quiet they are with the sub sonic .22lr rounds. You got a good catch, nice looking gun.
