A526051.............Glad to hear you didn't have any problems with the Vortex Venom on your 629! I used to have a 629 years ago, but sold it to buy cowboy guns when I got into cowboy action shooting. Steve in...

Thanks for the replies guys! I don't think so either, otherwise info would be easier to find. The models you listed all look like good choices, and I believe I'm still going with the Vortex. That's a good idea. Funny, never even thought of it.

I want to mount a red dot reflex sight to my Jack Weigand base on a Super Blackhawk 44 magnum. The base limits the weight of the sight to 3.5 oz. Does anybody out there have one that's held up to a 44 mag? I've researched a lot of models but none of them say words to the effect of "This is the...

I put my initials in silver wire inlay on a muzzleloader I built.

I wish it was only 5 or 10 minutes in Wisconsin. We get the NICS check for every gun purchase, and the typical response I get is "I'm sorry sir, there's been a delay." Then I go home and wait for the store to call to tell me I've been approved. A week goes by. If after a week there's been no...

"Keep your powder dry."

Marlin 39A bought sometime around 2010. Would constantly fail to feed, fail to fire, and fail to eject. Couldn't wait to get rid of it. A couple of years later I bought one made in the 1950's and it works fine.

The 1894 Marlin can be used in every category except Classic Cowboy. Classic Cowboy requires an 1873 or earlier rifle chambered in .40 caliber or larger. The Marlin is also a good choice for the black powder categories because they are easy to disassemble for cleaning the action. One screw...

There's always the Ithaca M66. A "lever operated single shot".

Kaybee, Monday at 8:49 PM That looks familiar. Is that The Shooter's Shop in West Allis, Wisconsin? Nice shop with lots of used guns on consignment, and an indoor range.

Here's a link to a discussion on tapered chambers in my Walker. Since that time, I've shot a couple hundred rounds out of it and haven't had a problem with the ball creeping forward. I've been using .451 balls and 40 grains of black powder. However, I do occasionally have a problem with the...

Since we're in the black powder section, I'm assuming he's looking for an alternative to ballistol to be used with black powder guns. I use this: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/00269233 It works great for me. Dilute it for cleaning, or use it full strength to oil the bore till you...

To get more dexterity in your left hand, you need to do things you wouldn't normally do with your left hand. Start with using your fork/spoon only with your left hand. Use your computer mouse only with your left hand. It will seem totally awkward at first, but will become easier in time. That...

I had the same problem once. The firing pin hole was cratered in the recoil shield. The fired primers would back out into the "crater" and prevent the hammer from cocking.
