      WTS: CZ 457 Training Rifle-Discontinued .22 LR

      Hi guys, I'm visiting family in Lafayette for Thanksgiving. I've kept this rifle here in Louisiana for 10 years. It's been rarely used and is in great shape. I don't have any reason to keep it and my step dad could use the space in his safe. Because I'm a Hawaii resident this will have to go...

      Can I sell my rifle to someone here in LA without a FFL being involved

      Hi, I'm a Hawaii resident (originally from LA) and have a 22 rifle that I kept here in Louisiana. (The gun was originally registered in Hawaii.) I'm visiting family here in LA and I'd like to sell the gun while I'm in town. Since I'm a Hawaii resident, do I need to go through a FFL to sell...

      Best Rifle/Scope for Smallbore Silhouette?

      I bought a used one like this for our local matches and it served me well out here in Hawaii. Surprised to see a new one for sale: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/863906411 Dustin, I think I bought the Air Arms from you quite a few years ago. It's been an awesome airgun and shooting that...

      what revolver would you take

      I’d get an older no lock, 6 round 686 and send it to Clark Custom or other quality gun revolver smith for a good trigger job. And I’d have them change out the front sight to a Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight. Then I’d put a Bowen Arms rear sight on it, change out the grips and call it...

      I Have This Urge (1911 Changes)

      Kensight makes very high quality adjustable sights.

      Fiber optic sights

      Fiber optic sights can be a very nice upgrade. For pure target shooting I still prefer a black Patridge style sight. I do find that the fiber optic sights seem to hold my attention better if I've been shooting a long time and start to lose concentration. I think the best fiber optic sights...

      Pistol Ramblings: Your Most Accurate Pistol?

      My 686 is consistently accurate with many loads. Here's some 50 yard groups. Some are under 2 inches. These little guys get it done at 25 yards. These seem to do real well with Blazer aluminum ammo at 25 yards. I was sighting in the adjustable sights...not shooting 5 shot groups...

      Accurate Handguns

      For a 45 I'm very impressed with my Cajun Gun Works CZ 97b. Got a 2" group at 50 yards on a rest. If I wanted and accurate 45 I'd order a custom 1911 from Clark Custom. But for the price the CZ is hard to beat. The trigger is just as good as a tuned 1911. For a new shooter I would suggest...

      686 Questions

      Get it and send it to Clark Custom for a duty trigger job and have them install a .100 or .110 wide Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight. Add a pair of Hogue Monogrips and you will have the ultimate 4" .357 mag revolver. Do it to it!

      Beeman R7...impressive springer

      That's great news that the R7 is still made in Germany. I'm glad they didn't sell out. Thanks for clarifying that. Dave

      Beeman R7...impressive springer

      Thanks, air guns are a lot of fun. These guys know a lot about airguns and can shoooooot. http://www.southernsilhouetteshooters.com/?page_id=244 I think one of the best airgun silhouette shooters may live around Baton Rouge....may be wrong. Check it out....lot's of fun. Dave

      Beeman R7...impressive springer

      That one had a trigger job too and it was very clean. Don't they make the new R7's in China. I'm not positive but I think I heard that and the quality is not the same as the old German one... Later, Dave

      Beeman R7...impressive springer

      I was back in Louisiana for Christmas and gave this old (1980's) Beeman R7 to my dad. It had been tuned by a guy known as "John in PA" and he installed a Vortek spring kit and did a trigger job. The R7 is an accurate, easy cocking, highly regarded rifle. It's not made for power...more a...

      22 LR Supply in Lafayette

      Sweet, thanks for the info guys. I'm going to bring 4 boxes of the Federal AutoMatch. I was able to stock up recently out here. Man, it sucks about the 22 shortage. But it does seem to be getting a little better. Thanks for the tips. Dave

      Hi All, I live in Hawaii and will be coming home to Lafayette for Christmas. (Save me some po-boys and boudin.) I love to get some shooting in while I'm home...and 22LR is my favorite plinking round. My guns like Federal Automatch and CCI Standard Velocity. Will I find any of this stuff...

      Deer sausage recipe?

      Thanks, it was a blast. I think the guide charges around $1200 for a full day per hunter. Our cost was quite a bit less since we live in Hawaii. We could take a buck and a doe. You are pretty much guaranteed to get something since there are so many deer there. The guide does not like the...
