The museum had old retired fighter pilots on their staff, and I enjoyed being greeted by one of the Veteran's stories of flying an EA-6 Prowler. They also had one of the oddest planes I had ever seen, known unofficially as the "Pancake." It was the only one and I believe it flew once, if I'm...

That is cool! I was fascinated by planes when I was young, and although my interest trailed off when I found certain practical limits to learning about them, I have really enjoyed the two opportunities that I have ever had to see old airplanes in person. Once was at an air show when I was very...

I must say I'm surprised to see that such a cheap scope has a lifetime warranty, and even more surprised that they honored it. Good on them for that!

The more I learn about these outrageous events, the more strings I find attached. Is that what happened here, don't know yet, but I have a hard time imagining something nefarious wasn't happening in the background of what we are seeing. jimbires summed up all the outward facing issues very...

Windex makes some sense being as ammonia is an ingredient and seems to be good at getting stuff out of barrels. I just wouldn't want to leave any in the barrel since ammonia is also very corrosive. Although now that I think about it, I don't think ammonia is usually used in gun cleaners unless...

Sounds like some sneaky people trying to rob you of information they are not entitled to. Did he actually start crying for some reason?

I hear these are very nice to shoot. I don't own my own hand gun yet, but the Beretta 92 is on my short list of possible hand guns I would buy. I think I might prefer the CZ 75 though. If I ever get the chance to shoot both, it would probably make my choice easy, but I don't know if I will get...

People are very different than they used to be. In the short time I've lived, I've watched my generation grow up and traditional values vanish. I wish I could say there was something else to expect, but this is what I believed people were becoming for years now. Even though I anticipated this...

Oh, that's great.

Classic black powder rifles are beautiful things, and Issac Haines was an excellent designer to copy. Love the shape of these guns. That is a very special rifle. Your buddy did you a good one.

Oooooh, fun! Love Henry rifles.

I think you should define a weight that you would be comfortable with, taking into account how much extra weight the scope you want will add, then pick out parts that will be as rigid as possible within your weight constraint. As far as barrel brands, Krieger, Brux, Bartlein, Hart, Lilja...

I think it is one of the most important overlooked skills to be able to shoot either handed. I was somewhat lucky I suppose in the fact that being cross eye dominate kinda made me learn both whether I liked it or not!

That sucker looks tricked out! M4 right? I have a Mossberg pump with a Magpul stock and forend for home defense. My parents gave me a Red Dot optic as a present to put on my shotgun but I haven't gotten the chance to zero it so it hasn't gone on there yet. I don't have a problem with the brass...

What Guy said above about his SWAT rifle, the fact that it isn't picky about ammo, that is something that is an important aspect of accuracy to me. I am more likely to keep a slightly less accurate rifle that is not particular, than I am a slightly more accurate rifle that only shoots well with...

Um, wow. I would not have thought of that. Cool. :cool:

Sorry to hear about your loss of ability to shoot with your right eye. Hopefully you can find a shotgun that fits properly left handed one day.

What is a .30 WCF, I'm not familiar with the name.

I'm left eye dominate, but right handed. It's made things a little weird for me. I started shooting left handed in my yard with a BB gun with open sights and have now grown more used to shooting left handed, but if I were to shoot a scoped bolt action again, I would probably shoot right handed...

Guy uses a Ruger No. 1 I know, he might have some insight on follow up shots with it. I will probably never own a double rifle but I always daydream about having one. Good luck on your search, they are such nice guns.
