Firearm information for the enthusiast
No rock-a-billy, no 60’s rock, no Neil Young, no Jackson Browne… not even the Eagles. Today it is all Commodores and singing along with front man Lionel Richie. Great voice, mellow fellow and I can actually understand the words to his songs. Anyway… The Ruger 77 Series rifles: 77/44, 77/357, […]
The Browning BAR is drilled and tapped for scope bases. I picked up a Warne one piece base that was catalog illustrated with continuous Weaver/Picatinny slots, but it actually has only a couple of slots that don’t offer much latitude in ring placement. A simple two piece Millet base set […]
I’m not sure when it all began. Might have been in the 70s and a fateful trip with our children to Disney World. More specifically, the “It’s a Small World” exhibit. My wife and I share much in common, however, in some ways we significantly differ. I stepped out of […]
I know, usually I am meticulous… okay, semi meticulous with photography, but the clear plastic lid and gray body of the dehydrator would require putting away the white seamless paper roll and dragging out a darker gray roll, mounting it on the crossbar, then taking some test shots… Can’t do […]

My wife and I were after dinner, mambo dancing to Kid Creole And The Coconuts… as we often do, when I got to thinking about how, when it comes to firearms, “new” is a big draw. Why not? It is fun to wring out a new combination, handload a new […]
I grew up as part of a very Italian family in New Jersey. My Uncle Joe, on my mother’s side, was the first to leave the very tight knit community when he, his very Irish wife Kay, and their children Bobby and Joanie moved ” down the shore” to Wildwood. […]
I owned a Remington Model 51 for a number of years, a 32 Automatic, and really enjoyed shooting it for recreational target practice. It fed ammunition without hesitation and fired reliably, the pistol’s balance was good and it was subjectively a terrific looking pistol. The only reason I sold the […]
In early exposure to the 350 Legend, Ruger’s Compact American Rifle Ranch and the 350 Legend Part I and Ruger’s Compact American Rifle Ranch and the 350 Legend Part II, the 350 Legend proved to be not only an excellent cartridge for the deer hunter in states where only straight […]
