    Why choose a folding stock?

    What are the opinions on folding stocks and reasons for liking them? I just can't seem to think of a situation where I would require one. Transportation certainly could potentially be easier, but that's about the only time I could see it being beneficial. There have to be a huge number of...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote and sights?

    What is the most popular method of protecting the sight setup of pistols which people are having coated? That is my first question. A few layers of tape on the front side of some stock sights should protect during the blast process as far as I understand. However there may be better options...

    Hunting & Fishing Where do you leave your guts and scraps?

    Sorry for the stupidity of the question, but I'm curious to know where everyone leaves their leftovers after cleaning their game? If you clean them right on the spot and leave all the leftovers, will they be eaten and taken care of by other animals? If so how long do you think it takes for a...
