A dead blow hammer is filled with lead shot to make the head heavy. The soft plastic outer case is to keep from marring items that you don't want scratched.

I would love to have one of Mike Brooks 20 gauge, Type G, Carolina Trade guns. Because he speced the barrels out with HC profiles & barrel wall thicknesses, they come in at around 6 pounds, 2 ounces, with a 47 3/8" long barrel. He had to go to Bobby Hoyt for the barrels as most others would not...

A Rice .50 caliber Fast Twist barrel measures 1" across the flats octagon. Rice doesn't make the .50 caliber in 15/16" octagon. The .45 caliber is available in either 15/16" or 1" straight octagon. Barrels come standard at 28" & 32" long, with the underrib, 2 ramrod pipes, and the barrel wedge...

Get one of those curved barrels like Elmer Fudd had, and then set up a 440 yard round track with a target frame on an electric hoist that can be raised & lowered quickly. Then, all you have to do is shoot, with the target frame raised, get the bench and yourself the hell out of the way sideways...

A twofer in just a couple of minutes being in your stand counts as a memorable hunt to me. Especially, as it was your last in Georgia. How are things going in Maine?

Just tell the bunny rabbits & pheasants that you're sorry!!!!!.

Lewis, my set of those pin gages cost me $32.00 online. The brand name escapes me at the moment. I purchased them for checking out both inline vent liner wear, as well as sidelock nipple wear. For touch hole diameter wear, I am going to have to purchase the next larger set of gages, because most...

Jim Kibler posted over on ALR, on 04/26/2021, that he had a surplus to needs of .40 caliber SMR kits, and .50 caliber Colonial kits that would ship in 2 weeks if purchased now. I'd hop on it if those are the calibers you want. .

Congratulations. This is the kind of out of the box thinking type of testing that all smoothbore shooters need to engage in. Your initial results would never have been able to predict what you have been able to come by up with by constant experimenting. For those who think that small caliber...

Good show! Next, you have to "Send some Yankee Red Legs on a Missouri Boat Ride!!!!". Just like Clint did in THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES.

Just looks kinda like the kind of guns that Turner Kirkland used to source out of Europe in the '50's, '60's,

Dixie Gun Works?

I have osteoarthritis in both shoulders necessitating a low-recoiling rifle, so I understand what MtnMan is talking about. OTOH, I don't want to carry a heavy rifle weighing more than 7 pounds, for the exact same reasons, the osteoarthritis. I prefer to be on the ground moving, as opposed to...

Didn't Barbie Chambers kill a snow goose, (or a swan?), a couple of years ago with one of these in a 10 bore down in North Carolina?

You are not a competitive shooter. You have stated this many times over the years that I have been reading your posts, and watching your videos. You shoot long range because it challenges you, and makes you happy. At least, that's my take on what I have observed online of Idaholewis. As smart...

One reason that I, on a regular basis, consider not visiting forums, regardless of how much I love the information that is available; is the nasty back-and-forth discussions that regularly seem to erupt out of nowhere, when certain posters JUST HAVE TO JUMP ON THEIR HOBBY HORSE, and start...

First, I have progressive osteoarthritis in both shoulders, and the doctor's orders are to avoid heavy recoil at all costs. A 28 gauge smoothbore reduces the likelihood of damage to my joints to a reasonable level, as long as I don't get carried away trying to load it up to magnum levels...

The number one reason that hunters fail at killing game, is not the guns fault, nor the load in the guns fault. The failure rests solely on the shoulders of the hunter himself/herself, and nowhere else. Practice with any weapon is mandatory, regardless of the type of ignition system. When...

Congratulations!! Great hunt with a small bore. Good eating ahead!! You should be proud of yourself. It's no small accomplishment. Well done. Once again someone proves that it doesn't take a large bore smoothy to get the job done. So much of what we "KNOW" today about shotgunning comes from...

bigted, Did you use a drill press to drill all of the holes in the breech plug? Did you use a grade 8 stainless steel bolt to plug the clean-out hole? Thanks.
