      Recommend an auto mechanic in west Indy?

      My family has used this family run business for decades. Similar to above some may be cheaper but they have always been completely honest. D and A automotive Address: 150 N Lynhurst Dr, Indianapolis, IN 46224 Phone:(317) 247-5553

      MCFG: Organizing a Work Crew to Install More Steel Targets 6.30.13

      Work goes well when you have a handful of good people.... and a power auger! It's nice to give back to a range that has given so much to me in the form of friendliness and advice. Start another thread whenever the next project comes up.

      What is your gun related bucket list?

      Great thread, thanks for starting. I have many similar long term goals in regards to owning the classics, owning some great land etc. Some great members on board here have helped me cross several things off my list, including: Fire some classic fire arms: 100 year old colt 1911. Fire some...

      Ruger Red Label - Love it or Hate it?

      That is not a bad price for a quality over-under, but I am not sure if red label is lasting quality. Stop by Indiana gun club and feel the action (hinge) of several quality over-unders. If you are in luck they will have a used red label to compare. I read great things about red label, but was...

      Work/Cleaning Bench

      Menard's often has a nice sturdy laminated oak bench top measuring right at 5 foot by 2 foot. I have two of them adding weight and stability to home work benches. I think the most recent one I purchased was around $65, which is well worth it to me.

      Inconsistent throws with TiteGroup

      Agree with making sure you are getting a full upstroke as stated above. Hornady will suggest that the most common powder problems come from not having the powder throwing device completely clean of any oils. I have noticed that the electronic scales tend to wander over time and don't just need...

      Horse shot by stray bullet in Westfield!

      I agree Classic. Anything is possible, but common things are common and the simplest solution is usually the best. Lawn mower blades throw projectiles at hundreds of miles per hour. Regardless I like that the printed the family response: It's not a gun control issue, the gun didn't harm...

      Anyone used Rocky Mountain Reloading Plated Bullets?

      I don't have a ton to compare to, but I have loaded and used a few hundred from this company with great results (very consistent from handling through shooting across the chrono). I've heard their bullets are from Montana Gold. For fun I was carving at the jacket with a utility blade and was...

      .223 bolt gun choices

      I guess I get to be the first to point out that the OP is a dork for posting this within the survival thread instead of the long gun thread he intended :) Sorry about that, i kept getting logged off at work and tend to have too many threads/tabs open at once. Thanks for all the feedback so...

      .223 bolt gun choices

      Mudcat, good reminder about the utility of slings. I envision this particular rifle as a sit and shoot one for the most part. The two farms / ranches are both set up primarily for sitting and waiting. I may get a second similar rifle in a lighter weight/ shorter barrel if I have increased...

      .223 bolt gun choices

      I am considering a bolt action rifle chambered in .223 rem caliber for building up my target practice skills from 200 yards and maybe up to 600. I would also have the opportunity to shoot some varmints at a couple of family farms (not sure on reasonable distances, I guess whatever the target...

      Need some family trip recommendations in the midwest

      We have always been very impressed with the family friendly atmosphere at Holiday World in southern Indiana. Go when its warm enough to enjoy the amazing and plentiful water rides.

      Recommend me a riding mower.

      The green ones get lots of well deserved good reviews. I have had no issues with husqvarna for six years.

      Need advice on a 1911!! Will be my first 1911 purchase

      I'm not surprised by the amount of recommendations for .45, it is the original and works very well. I love the Remington 1911 R1. I have put a lot of 9mm rounds through a STI Spartan 1911 and never had a single malfunction. I love this platform in a 1911: Heavy gun, with crisp, light trigger...

      Atterbury June 15-16: Free Ammo & Sample Rifles Sponsored by Wolf, IWI, Mach 1

      I have read and talked about appleseed as I am planning to get to one myself before I bring the kids. Since I have never been to one, this thread has been very informative (but of course I still have questions). Are first timers discouraged from this particular event? Obviously there is an...

      Corrupt-A-Wish V 2.0

      Granted, but you must always have pink accessories and your wife's ability to club your nice cars puts Tiger's ex to shame. I wish I had the body I did at age 19.

      Boeshield T-9 anyone?

      I have used Boeshield T-9 as my favorite penetrating lubricant / protectant on all my tools and hardware the past several years and love it. The woodworking world gives it great reviews on tools for rust protections as well. It does a better job than WD40 at everything WD does. Anyone have...
