    Basement bargain O/U?

    Is there such a thing? I see $500 cheap O/U and of course the nice ones going for 4 digit prices, but is there any made that are really cheap? Just something made for killing and getting beat up in the brush would be cool. That's something I never even see used, a beat up O/U, they're always in...

    WTT M-1923 Garand Cartidge belt and collectable Winchester ammo

    M-1923 cartridge belt marked USMC and dated either '43 or '48, can't read it. Also have a collectible box of Winchester 16g slugs, 5 boxes of 5. The outside box has a small tare but the inside 5 boxes are fine. Would like to trade for AR parts or accessories. Prefer FTF in Binghamton area...

    DONE Big Jon downrigger

    Was saving this to get back into fishing but my boat restoration is on hold for now. I think the boom is 40 some inches. I'm not positive what Big Jon used to attach the middle pulley but it has two pieces of rubber belting on it. I can get a better picture of that if you want. Looking to trade...

    Why I can't stand coyotes...

    So I'm on my way to my mother's house about 10 miles away and seen something on the side of the road that seemed eerily familiar. Stopped to check it out and yep, it was what I thought. This would have been a buck, and the biggest reason there's always a low harvest where I live. Coyote season...

    Let's talk chest rigs.

    I've been looking at different chest rigs, some better than $125, others cheap and probably made in China. I really don't need anything extravagant, just to carry the basics, mags for pistol and rifle, radio, lights, ets. I've also been thinking about some that have sling attachments on them...

    Icom ID-5100 arrived.

    I finally have my new Icom installed and getting familiar with the menu system for programming, much easier and user friendly than I expected. The business view... I found this mount in my shed, kinda like a Ram mount but older and stronger. There's an adapter that comes with the radio but...

    Vintage Winchester slugs

    So I have this box of Winchester slugs sitting around that I'll never shoot, is there any value to these things? I don't collect these kind of things, but I suppose I could use them on a range day for fun. I don't hunt with a shotgun any more.

    F/S RC Airplane

    Gotta go, reducing the number of interests I have on my plate. It's a Flyzone DHC-2 Beaver with bush wheels and floats. I had it in the air once a couple years ago after being out of the hobby for a good 20 years. My thumbs just don't have the finesse they once had so no sense crashing it and...

    Future second upper

    So with wasting time I thought I'd explore options for a second upper build, and retain the 5.56 lower. Is it just me, or is the 50 Beowulf pretty sexy :D Too bad they are pricey. Just the uppers cost more than my complete rifle :nutkick: Might have to slum it and do a 6.5 Grendel to stay with...

    Killer combo

    I finally got sick of the junk coyote call I had and couldn't afford a good electronic call so I had Lights Out Predator Calls make me a couple. They sound awesome and are way louder than the junk they are replacing. I can't wait till deer season is over so I can put them to use.

    DONE 1971 GMC 1500

    I need to sell my truck. I love the truck but it's too small for my needs and I have my eyes on a replacement. It's starting to get rusty, needs rockers and patches on the quarters and door skin. probably fender patches too. The cab floor is good though. I have a picture that's a few years old...

    Hearing Protection Act

    Any of you guys been following this? Text - H.R.3799 - 114th Congress (2015-2016): Hearing Protection Act of 2015 I'd like to think it would be great for this to pass now that Trump will be in office, but still, we're in NY and would probably still be shunned from owning such safety objects :-/...

    .22 and muzzle flash

    Ok another question, busy mind tonight. So, I'm wondering how much muzzle flash the lowly .22LR produces as I've never shot mine at night. Is it quite substantial from unburnt powder? I'd like to try a NV scope on it for hunting instead of using lights but a lot of flash will raise hell with it...

    Winchester model 12 furnature

    Anyone here a Winchester guru? I'm pretty much hating the factory butt-stock, but is there anything I can do as a replacement? Will any other model fit, or am I stuck making one myself? I'm not very wood friendly so the results probably wouldn't be very nice lol. I hate to see a gun set not...

    Paint time

    Finally got to the much needed painting on my lowly Savage 7A. It's been a great rifle, bet it's killed 10k squirrels and rabbits. Age and use was taking it's toll on the finish. My Encore 209x50 felt left out so I gave it a makeup job as well. The colors weren't as dark as I would have liked...

    F/S '01 Blazer

    I know this is a long shot but might as well put it up. Have an '01 Blazer LT that needs to go so I get my wife something older to drive. I'll start with the bad, the transmission decided it wanted nothing to do with reverse yesterday after her visit with her surgeon. In the driveway it was...

    Comms subforum ?

    Any chance there could be a Comms subforum under Prepping & Survival ? I think it would good to keep it a separate section to keep everything related in one area for easy access and it won't get buried. Could start out by adding the already running comms related threads there. Sound logical ? :)

    DIY night vision

    Thinking this fits in the accessories part. This is pretty cool and easy to make. I bet with some ingenuity it can be fit into a much smaller package and used as an extension to a regular scope.

    Getting the AR going

    I finally got around to ordering an upper and barrel combo Friday from Primary Arms. Great people and they sent it right out that afternoon. I should have the handguard this week as well, a used Trinity Force Atlas. I couldn't see the sense in spending $200+ on a handguard.
