    Aftermarket 1911 mags

    +2 on Wilson's ... carried them in my 1911 for over 3 decades with never one single solitary malfunction...NONE! They were not babied either but used like any other magazine with 1,000's rounds put through them, speed reloads dropping the mags on the range floor, drill after drill, etc. Clean...

    New Athlon Doppler Chrono Unit $350

    Looks very promising! Also appears that you can unscrew the face plate - maybe it'll have a user serviceable battery if it ever needs replacement. Thanks for the post!

    Reloading 3 rifles for Elk loads..

    I would have to pull my load data for the exact powder weight, but I hunted with my 30-06 on elk for decades using Nosler's Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip's in 180gr with around 54.gr's of 760 which in my rifle gave me great accuracy & chrono'd in at about 2700 fps. Personally I did...

    Copper fouling

    I would agree for the most part ... when I am breaking in a barrel I clean it more rigorously than after the break-in to remove all the copper fouling. After that, no. As a matter of fact, when I use to clean very well I would fire a fouling shot so that I do not have to deal with the first...

    Pack out gear

    About 25-30 years ago I bought a pack & frame from REI, took off the pack & never used it, I made a rope net & have used this setup to haul out elk for the past few decades. Absolutely no complaints about the frame; it's held up flawlessly to the use & abuse without issue. It's not pretty, does...

    NF ATACR – 5-25x56mm

    I have mine mounted on my Nosler Model 48 Long Range using a one piece base with Nightforce rings. Also using a Bradley adjustable cheekrest to get the proper cheek weld. Best real life hunting distance so far was an elk at 802 yds ... still working towards my goal of 1,000 yards...

    Quadra Fire 3100 Wood Stove

    Bummer - I have had the exact opposite experience with my Classic Bay 1200 Pellet Stove Insert which I bought in 2002 and is still going strong 22 years later. Of course everything needs maintenance and as expected I have replaced the igniter, fan & auger motors at least once. ...and I still can...

    Complete Nosler Reloading Manual set

    Congratulations on reaching 83 years old! I've been into reloading since about 16 years old & still going strong over 4 decades later. Nice looking set of manuals ... matches mine as well! No plans on selling mine but will probably pass mine down to the son-in-law or grand-kids when it's time.

    Anyone notice????

    It's a great decision!! Saw a Meme... What I found amazing is that all the bump stocks that were lost in boating accidents back in 2017 miraculously washed on shore after the decision ....:unsure: Personally do not have one but it would be fun to play with.

    2024 Colt versus Springfield Mil-Spec Defender 1911's

    Same here ... I prefer having one from the original mfg's therefore opted for the Colt even though I own other brands as well. Carried my Colt 1911 for about 10 years before sending it off to Wilson Combat for a list of extensive work I wanted done. Carried it for another 20+years and still own...

    2024 Colt versus Springfield Mil-Spec Defender 1911's

    Personally I would opt for the Colt. I have shot and carried a Colt 1911 for 30+ years and have never regretted one bit having owned it. Nothing wrong with the Springfield - Don't own one but have seen them in the stores & they look nice.

    30 nosler 185gr vld/ 180 ballistic tip

    Guy - I came to the same conclusion as your friend concerning Nosler Partitions ... I had too many hits result in core separation & switched to Ballistic Tips first then settled on Nosler's Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip's & never looked back.
