I recently acquired a nice condition Swedish Mauser that I want to reload for. I reload for my other rifles and pistols of various calibers. When I started to assemble my components and data I discovered what I believe to be a significant discrepancy in the LEE load dat for powder charges.
The...
Been eyeballing a Beretta 85 (380) for a while but still haven't made the purchase. Anybody have any experience with one of these? It would mostly be a small range plinker and maybe and possible part-time CCW.
Any Pro's or Con's with these appreciated.
I recently aquired a 1954 Marlin 39A (22 Lever Action) in a very used condition. The stock neeeds work and the metal has some light surface rust on some spots and a uneven brownish patina on other spots. I would like to restore the rifle as a possible gift to my daughter (likes lever actions)...
I was at a small local GS where I purchased an Ithica SKB XL900 shotty, gas operated semi.
I bought this with the purpose of learning to shoot trap (which I know nothing about), hopefully this suit that need. I haven't been able to find much info about this model. Is anyone familiar with it...
I recently bought a Ruger American in .243. Placed a cheap scope on it and took it to the range. I was surprised by the accuracy of the rifle , right out of the box, but I did experience 2x a failure to feed from the magazine. It has a 4 round rotary mag similar to the 10 shot 10/22 rotary mag...
I recently finished my AR build using Magpul furniture for my 20" flat top rifle.
I then purchased a Redfield Revenge 6x18x44 scope. I started with a set of med height rings, but the objective lens touches the top of the front handguard, thus preventing the scope from seating in the front...
I've Been trying for a while to find the "sweet spot" for my 5.8mil Garand. It's a pretty decent FG from CMP that always shot the HXP pretty well, but I began trying various hand loads without much improvement until our last outing. I had been loading 150 fmjbt's varying from 44gr - 46.5gr of...
Just picked up a very clean Western field (Mossberg 500) at a small local GS today for $100 OTD. Clean and has engraving on the sides of the reciever, It also has checkered walnut with a 26" inch barrel and an adjustable choke.
Seemed like a good buy for the price, I have almost no...
Lately I've been thinking that I would like to have a 1911 platform in 9mm. Does anyone have experiences /good-bad/ with these? I would want it to be a reliable shooter. I understand the Star B's can be tempermental with ammo feeding.
Any suggestions?
I finally got out to shoot an 03A3 that I bought last year. Metal and wood look very nice on this rifle, but after shooting it at 50 yds it is consistently shooting 5"-6" high. The grouping is good and repeatable. I checked the front sight blade nd found the letter "C" on it. After some...
After finally coming to admit that these old eyes just dont seem to be what they used to be, I have finally decided I need to put a scope on my AR 16" carbine.
Cost is a factor.
I have made the "Black Monday" on-line purchase of a Nikon P-223 3X32 with the 2 piece mount from Optics Planet...
Today I was at the range with my Marlin 39A (vintage 1968). She was shooting fine when at one point I was working the action and the lever action will not close. The bolt is in the rear position. I don't want to force anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Recently someone gave me a very nice sporter stock that came off of a sporteized K98.
I have an old Yugo M48 mauser that is fairly beat up on the stock. I have been thinking about using the YUGO for a sporter project using the recently acquired stock, but I'm not sure if these rifles would be...

Just suffered an impulse buy. After doing some xmas shopping for the family I sat down and was cruising some sites on the net to relax, I saw an ad for a LNIB Ciener conversion kit w/2 10 rd mags. according to...
I've been thinking about getting a 1917 Enfield for my collection. The CMP has some Field Grades for $450 + s/h.
Has anyone purchased one of these recently? Can you give a description of what you recieved.
One of the disadvantages of buying from theh CMP is that you dont get to actually...
I was at a GS today and saw a JC Higgins model 66 in 12ga. It was in decent shape with enough nicks and dings to know somebody had made considerable use of this gun.
The asking price was $190.
I 've been wanting to get a semi SG so that I might try shooting trap. I currently dont own any...
I saw this and noted at the bottom of the ad it mentions the mfg date of 1960 (milled reciver) and also mentions possible C&R status.
Has anyone heard of this?

I know I've been living under a rock and all, But it's been a loooong time since I last ordered from the CMP. I was looking to order a can or two of HXP for my Garands, but I don't see ammo listed on their website.
Am I missing it or are they sold out of ammo?
