    Which .45 ACP Handgun?

    I would have to try all 4 and see which one fit my hand the best.

    RL-22 vs VVN560 powder

    USSR, have you noticed the much touted "temp sensitivity" of RE22 in your 6.5X55? I'm using IMR 4831, but I've thought about switching to RE22.

    Match bullet at what range?

    At 100 yards or less, you'll never see the advantages that match bullets provide. They don't become obvious until you start stretching out past 400 yards. For 100 and under, a flat base will suite your needs for 1/2 the price. Flat base bullets also have an advantage in bores that are more well...

    An unsettling experience my friend had recently

    Frankly, this story is a great example of how constant situational awareness is your first, and best, line of defense. Allowing yourself the ability to extract yourself from a potentially dangerous situation, without having to resort to the use of force, or being in the danger zone. Eyes, ears...

    Came upon a Swedish Mauser

    If you don't want it, buy it and sell it to me. I had a chance to buy one years ago that was in very good condition, all matching, and I've kicked myself for years for not buying it.

    Questions about Seguin Texas

    My wife and I are considering moving to Seguin, TX in the next few months if everything works out. Is there anyone here who lives in the area that can tell my about several questions I have about Seguin and the San Antonio area. 1: Is it true that Seguin has a lot of crime and gangs? I've seen...

    Isnt this ugly as xxxx ? New AK in the market

    First let me say that I have never been a fan, or owner of the AK platform. I have shot AK's that friends have owned. Other than the reliability factor, they just never struck a chord with me. But with that being said, personally, I like this new incarnation. I think it's a long over due upgrade...

    New, old Mauser Argentino 1891 questions

    That is in really good shape. The pitting isn't bad. It looks like someone cut the stock where the pitting is to repair it. You could leave it that way or have someone try to finish the repair. Other than that, from the pictures, it is a nice looking piece. The old carbines like that are harder...

    New, old Mauser Argentino 1891 questions

    When you are dealing with a Mauser military chamber, failing a no-go does not mean it has excessive headspace. If it fails with a field guage, then it is excessive.

    That's 8X57JS ammo on that Midway link. He is looking for 8X57J.

    History of Sporterized VZ 24...And What To Do With It

    I would bed the action first, and keep the fore end contact. A good solid bed around the action will do wonders. If, after that, you don't see an improvement, which I doubt you won't, then try relieving the barrel channel. Those original stepped barrels, when they were in their original stocks...

    cimmeron 45 LC

    At that price, if it's what you want, I'd jump on it. I love my Cimarron, but I've owned a Rossi as well, and I would buy another before another Cimarron just because they are much cheaper and still a really good rifle.

    Bedding vs Chassis

    I have mine in a B&C Medalist. I still skim bedded it around the action, and bedded the barrel under the chamber.

    Handgun you trust your life with?

    If it fits me well, and I can therefore use it well, and it proves to be reliable, that to me is what builds trust. Maker, model, and caliber, are inconsequential to those criteria. I've had several that made the cut, in different configurations, and calibers. I'm not a fan-boy when it comes to...
