But that is not always the case, and guidelines are in place that allow for relatively easy and problem-free transport of your firearms on commercial airline flights.

When I flew to Denver and back earlier this month, it was my first time flying with guns. It turned out not to be that big a deal. I even decided not to regret the high cost of my gun case, considering the value of the guns that were crammed inside of it.

Ruger 44 Carbine Assembly Help

Once upon a time, several years before I was born, Sturm, Ruger, and Company built their first commercially-available rifle - and it wasn't the 10-22! It was a handy little semi-auto 44 magnum carbine, and I used one exclusively during my first two decades of deer hunting. They can be tricky to assemble, though...
