Fitting and Finishing a Wood Rifle Stock on an Original 1895 Winchester
Published: October 2, 2022 { 1 comment }Recently, I had a rather interesting project come my way from GunsAmerica’s own True Pearce.

Published: September 11, 2022 { 5 comments }For those who have had the opportunity to shoot somewhere besides a public gun range, you have most likely scrounge around looking for targets minutes before leaving. My homemade steel targets would constantly need to be repaired or replaced and would allow a dangerous amount of spalling to fly in all directions. That is why back in 2018 I started researching steel targets.
