Biden is a moron. I remember seeing him talking about the steroid use in baseball years ago and just thinking of what an ignorant waste of life this man was. Low and behold now hes vice president. Great.

I just got a stevens/savage model 58-20 gauge bolt action shotgun. The thing is pretty cool. I got it cleaned up and functioning smoothly and have one magazine that holds 2 rounds. Looking for possibly a 3+ replacement for home use. I found a couple 2 round replacements, so Ill probably pick up at l...

I found out that it is a savage model 6. It was made under Springfield and Savage after the original company buy out. Also called a Savage model 87 or Springfield 187. Its a semi-auto tube fed. Looks like a fairly decent little gun. Someone spray bombed it so It will be a time killer. I think Ill st...

Thats too bad. The honda transmissions have the same issues. Most trans rebuilders will use a different set of clutches for them to keep them from failing. I had done quite a few while I ran a trans shop. I do hope you didnt pay 5k each out of pocket? We were overhauling them for around 2700$ with u...

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's an informal IDPA-styled shoot that doesn't get too technical, but allows you to shoot in various scenarios. For the rifle and shotgun events scheduled throughout the year, there'll be extra weapons for you to use, if you don't have your own, so don't let that keep you...

to me it looks like he was unaware that there was already a round in the chamber, went to cock the gun with his hand over the top probably using his thumb and pointer finger over the serations leaving the erst of his hand overhanging the rest of the gun, squeeze one hand to rack and what happens to ...
