    So They Want A Lock In Each Hole?

    “Person” isn’t mentioned. Key portion of the rule: "Only the passenger should retain the key or combination.” TSA locks for guns are actually illegal in the US. TSA won’t say anything about it as they like having easy access, but they are against the law. The big issue isn’t really TSA in...

    The Great Zebra Steeplechase Of 2018

    My Zebra. The light is deceptive. A flash was used for the photo, and 10 minutes later, it was full dark.

    This was my first safari, and I had an incredible time. I’m already scheming about how I can go back.

    1982 M70 Stainless Classic 300 H&H & FN Winchester M70 Safari Express .375 H&H For Sale

    I'm curious about the date. Wheren't the Model 70 Classics introduced in 1992? Is 1982 a typo, or were there actually some Classics done at that time?

    Selling a rifle how to

    Your last bolded sentence is really the main issue. For a long gun, ship it USPS. Inexpensive and (usually) hassle-free. For handguns, use UPS “Next Day Saver.” It is the (most common) cheapest solution that meets the legal requirement for “common carrier” delivery. Important to note in the...

    Selling a rifle how to

    Neither handguns nor long guns are required to go FFL to FFL. Anyone can ship to an FFL, no license required. Now, some dealers won’t accept a shipment from a non FFL, but that is their own silliness, not the law.

    Concealed Carry

    Jeff, You forgot to describe an important part of your setups. The Mika's pocket holsters. Mika's are the best thing going for pocket carry. A 642 in a Mika's holster is my everyday carry.

    Greetings From Montana

    Hello, everyone. Just a quick introduction. I got interested in hunting Africa more than 20 years ago, but life and family responsibilities made it impossible. Now that the kids are grown, a safari has moved up to the top of my list of "to-do's." I've hunted most of my life, mainly birds...
