I sure wish I was in SE Houston.

Bought a couple of those single gun Big Sky and a couple of those shotgun locks a while back for next to nothing based on a tip from someone on here. If you can find a used one, Big Sky will rebuild the whole thing (new lock, new mechanism, repainted, new felt lining) for $1 per. It'll cost more to ...

My girlfriend used to tell people about my CHL. I think she has finally learned not to do so. I never whistled at her, but I was very clear that no one should ever know I have a CHL.

It's darn-near impossible to evict someone in Texas, so I don't know that you would ever actually get evicted. There are notice requirements, then you have to have a hearing. And if something changes, the notices have to start over. There is a certain way the notices must be posted, etc. Someone els...

I have the subcompact (3") model. It's a great gun. Too bad I can't justify adding to the collection right now.

Went to the range this week and the first two shells failed to eject. Didn't have any issues after that.

If I didn't already have one, I'd buy it. Good price for a great gun.

I got a call from Academy saying it was back and ready to be picked up. The guy couldn't tell me what they had to do to it, so I guess I'll need to call Briley to figure that out. I'll let everyone know how it is working once I get a chance to get out to the range. Unfortunately, that might be a whi...

I bought a gun there once and didn't have to wait too long - I was out the door in about 30 minutes. The only reason it took that long was that I was picking out the best looking stock I could find on the gun I was buying. I have had a couple bad experiences with the gun counter at the store on 75 &...

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you (in the general) sign a piece of paper saying that you will send firearms off to the manufacturer once you leave Academy? Every purchase I've made there says that if there are any issues, I have to deal with the manufacturer. With Yildiz, you're supposed to b...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I took it back to Academy today to have it sent off for repair under warranty. I took it to the same Academy I bought the gun from (75 and Royal), and was just as disappointed with the service from the guys behind the gun counter. The store manager and the guy...

That's a great deal on a great gun. I would buy it, but I already have one. I wish I could rationalize owning 2.

Well, I think I may have spoken a little too soon. I went out this morning for a quick dove hunt and had 4 shells fail to eject. The ejector on the bottom barrel got stuck 3 times and the top barrel got stuck once. That's a little concerning since I only went through 1 box of shells. I guess I'll le...

These ads always make me want to spend Saturday at Academy.

I will get pics up soon, but until I can get those up, I thought I'd share my thoughts with everyone. I went to Elm Fork on Sunday after church with my girlfriend. I was thinking about eventually getting the 20 gauge for her to use when we dove hunt (and I needed someone to push the button to send t...
