Hello, Looking for a mild load using a 400 Grain FP lead bullet and Green Dot powder. I would like something around 800-1000 fps. I will be using a Handi Rifle chambered in 500mag. I know there are better powder to chose however I was given 8# for free. Any recommendations would be...

So I wasn't paying attention and resized some(300) 9mm with a 357mag die. Can I still use it or do I need to resize it with the 9mm die? I am really embarrassed to share this but it is what it is? Thanks for any information.

I called S&W about their Master Revolver Action Package for my Smith 986. They said it could be about 4-5 months to get the work done because they are so backed up. Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in New England? I did try a reduced main spring and it definitely lightened the trigger...

Hello, I friend send me a few pictures of what looks like a rifle round. After looking at the pictures it looks more like a blank. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Hello, Does anyone who has a Smith 986 know if the firing pin is hollow? Just noticed it after cleaning the gun. I have cleaned it a few times before and never noticed it until now. I have about 500 rounds of factory ammo through it without any problems. Got the gun home and started to...

Hello, Can anyone who has one or who has shot one describe what it's like to shoot the 986? I know its a subjective question to ask but i am looking for something to compare it to. I love revolvers. Just something about them. I have a GP100 and was thinking it might be close to shooting...

Hello, Has anyone removed the 4 screws to there Mini 14 gas block. I really want to add the forward rail mount by Ultimak. I know Ruger tells you not to remove them but its looks real easy in the video. The mount is not cheap and I don't want to damage the gun or effect accuracy. I...

Hello, A friend of my asked me if I new anything about a rifle his Grandfather gave him. It is a Japanese bolt action with only one marking. I have not seen the rifle in person, only pictures. It does have the bayonet but it is not in the pictures. Any thoughts on the make of rifle and...

Hello, Can anyone help me with a manufacturing date for a S&W Model 10-7. Serial number AEW66xx. Thanks for any information.

Hello Everyone, Just picked up my SP101 357 revolver. Took it to the range and shot both 38 and 357 through it. I then noticed a slightly raised area underneath the cylinder release. I am 99% sure it was not there before I started shooting. I tried to look at pictures on the web to...

I chronographed some 45acp out of a Beretta CX4 Storm with a 16.6 inch barrel. It was 41 degrees the day I did the shooting. I used a Master Chony to measure the speed. I tried three different powders and one factory load. I also used a S&W 1911 with a five inch barrel for the control. The...

I have a model 629 that is about 11 years old and needed some work. The timing was off so I called Smith & Wesson. Spoke to a customer service rep on the 11/17/14 and explained the problem. He said he would email me a prepaid shipping label that day, which I received minutes later. I shipped...

I am hoping someone can give me some insight to what is happening to my gun. I noticed the problem when I was cleaning it. The only way I can describe the problem is a chip to the frame right above the side plate cover. At first I thought it was just some carbon but as I ran my fingernail...

I know there are many other powder to use for a revolver, but has anyone tried Autocomp in 38 or 44 Special? I tried it in 40cal and it burn very clean with no smoke. I might load a few and give it a shot. Thanks.

Hello, I was hoping someone would be able to recognize this handgun and tell me what model it is? A friend of mine sent me a few pictures however I can't tell what model it is based on the photographs. He thinks it was purchased new around 1972. Please help. Thanks Jim

If you had to choice a pistol caliber carbine what would it be? Lets eliminate the 9mm because I already have one. Also, lets limit it to 40cal and 45acp as the only choices. I have both those calibers in hand guns and having a hard time choosing one in a carbine. I like the knock down power...

Thinking of buying one of these carbines. I have narrowed it down to either the 40cal or the 45acp. I do reload so it will keep the cost down or allow me to shoot more. I live in MA so I am limited to ten rounds in the 40cal. The 45acp only comes in 8 rounds. I did a quick search and ten...

I have a S&W 1911 that I bought new in 2007. It has about 7000 rounds threw it, most reloads. I just loaded some 230 RN copper plated X-Treme bullets using slightly over 4 grains of Clays. I know max load for that bullet is 4 but I pushed it a little. I fired about 50 round with no problems...

Just bought a new M1 carbine by AO. Having trouble with the magazine. To me it fits real loose. Lots of wobble front to back. Is this normal. I have tried other new magazines and they all wiggle. Any thoughts?
