    The Rolling Stones magazines educates us about guns.

    No more calls, we have a winner! A Mr. porgiefirefighter comments; "Fat guns, skinny guns, guns that climb on rocks. Tough guns, sissy guns, even guns with chickenpox." I tried to post this earlier, but I needed to clean coffee from my keyboard.

    Fieldcraft Fanny Packs

    Wil, I've used this one for a few years. BDS Medical Fanny Pack. It's worked for me on the range and hunting/scouting. Not too big, I just added a nalgene holder.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Winkler Knives

    I have the Belt Knife. I like it a lot and carry it whenever I'm in the woods. Last season I used it to cut through the ribcage on two deer, no problems. After the field use, I washed it off and used it to cut the backstraps and veg for stir-fry. Holds an edge well, mine has the micarta grips...

    It looks like their Crossbow Sling. Found the website, but it only shows 2-point slings. Confections Carcajou Hope that helps.

    On more then one occasion, you had to give one of your BUGs to a teammate. Because half way to the job-in-progress he realized he left his pistol in his locker, but said he knew you would have a "spare".

    Gunsmithing Timney 510 into a McM HTG ?

    Update- Just installed the Timney. It couldn't have taken more then 10 minutes, start-to-finish. Ordered direct from Timney, m510 w/long sear, set at 2.5 lbs. I spoke the them about the Calvin Elite, when I explained it was for hunting and #2.5 was as low as I planned to go, they suggested the...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Here's mine after a couple of days at the range. Real happy with it. Shooting FGMM 168gr at 100 yards. By the way my first time shooting prone. Anyway, now that everything seems to have come together, I'll be taking it apart to install a Timney trigger. Thanks Remington! Rem 700 AAC 16.5...

    Gunsmithing Timney 510 into a McM HTG ?

    Thanks guys, I heard back from McMillan. They agree with you, there should be enough room. Very little, if any, to remove. I placed my order with Timney by phone last night (they seem to be putting in a lot of overtime, thanks to Rems recall). DaveT, thanks for the heads up re; the U-sear...

    Gunsmithing Timney 510 into a McM HTG ?

    In light of the Rem 700 trigger recall, it seems like the right time to swap out the trigger. I'm trying to decide if it's a DIY or find-a-Gunsmith situation. Since the Timney 510 and Mcm HTG Stocks seem to be very popular here, does anyone have experience fitting one into the other? Is there...

    DIY flush cup install

    Darkside, yeah I covered the spot with tape and drilled through it. I found that tip somewhere, I think it was here on SH, I could be wrong. I think it helped keep the drilled hole cleaner, at least I know it didn't hurt. I used a Plug tap to start the threads, it starts the threads deeper in...

    DIY flush cup install

    Punisher, I just installed flush cups in my HTG this past weekend. On the forend I drilled the left side, lined up in the middle of the two bottom sling swivel studs. I set it below the centerline of the forend (judged it by eye and used a friends drill press). No protrusion into the barrel...

    Hunting & Fishing extreme boots for extended hunts sub-zero

    I completely agree with 45.308s thinking. And given his AO makes me think I've been on the right track. For most of us, including the OP, I would think insulated, supportive hiking boots for the hike in. I use Lowa Tibets, (the foot form of Lowas fit me perfect), then I add overboots once I'm in...
