Review: Kleen-Bore ChamberMate

Tuesday February 14, 2012

The Kleen-Bore Chambermate is a great tool, and I really enjoy owning it. I've been using this one for more than ten years now, and it has always done well. I had one Mossberg shotgun that really benefitted from this chamber cleaning tool, and I routinely use it on every 12 gauge shotgun that I clean.

Before You Buy a Used Rifle

Monday February 13, 2012

I love buying used stuff. I usually buy my vehicles, houses, and many other things second-hand - including most of my guns.

Review/Profile: Winchester Model 62A Pump (Slide) Action Rifle

Wednesday February 8, 2012

You could say that this rifle was born in the 1800s, but that doesn't mean it's outdated or that it can't keep up with any modern 22 rifle. On the contrary - in many ways it's superior to some of its modern counterparts. While this particular gun has been "rode hard and put away wet," it's still very functional and dependable, and can be easily taken down to a short length if you need to conserve space. Check it out - the 62A is a nice old rifle that deserves respect and admiration.
