Im attempting bring a Unique Model 17 back from the deal. All I lack is the safety and asociated hardware. Anyone know where those parts might be found? I have struck out in all the usual gun parts suppliers. Wondering if there might be a part from a similar pistol I could substitute also...

I just bought a ‘52 built Model 94 in 32Win that does not have a butt plate. The screw holes are about 2 3/4 apart, much narrower than what I’m seeing for sale out there. Anyone have any insight? Did it originally have a steel or plastic plate? Thanks.

I just bought my wife a Kimber Micro 380, and the salesman at the gun shop swore up and down a trigger guard Crimson Trace sight for the P238 would fit on the Kimber. Best I can tell the dimensions are off a bit as the trigger guard seems wider than the Sig. She picked out some grips that she...

When I was a little boy I saw a pump action 22 in my grandfather's gun closet. He told me it fired without touching the trigger. At 98 years old he passed away this week. After the visitation my uncle handed me the rifle, a Savage 29a with the same warning and story of what happened. He...

Picked up an older MEC 600 the other day after wanting one for a while. I finally got it set up, bought a loading manual, 25lb of #8 shot and 5lb of 00 buck. Basic question, with a given load, say one ounce, it doesn't matter what that load is (shot size), as long as the load weighs what the...

I'm planning on loading some 200gr JHP for my 44 mag with this powder. It was with a bunch of stuff I bought a couple of years ago, still smells good / no reason to believe it's not usable. Question is: is the data in my Lyman manual good for 2400 of this vintage? I know some powders have...

I finally got around to loading some 380 rounds and the results aren't too pretty. Several rounds seated off center. Some cases were sized with a RCBS die, some with a Lee. All were belled, seated and crimped on Lee dies. Can't figure out why some of the bullets seated off center. I've...

My go to Accurate 2015 has gotten a little expensive to plink with. Need some suggestions other than CFE that meters easy. My Crapatalk search feature yielded nothing on here, hence the question. Thanks in advance.

New one in me, but it's been a long time since I've been on the boards. One primer didn't want to seat. Upon pulling the case off the press I noticed the Sellier&Belloit case had a small primer pocket. Apparently 45ACP isn't the only one with large and small primer pockets.

My wife wants one. She'll be carrying at times as well as general shooting. I'd prefer her have a 9mm, but she is dead set on the 238. What do I need to know about this pistol? How is it carried (SA trigger, 1911 like?). Anyone handload for it? Thanks!

Just picked up a box of 147 gr 9mm plated Extreme for grins. I usually load their 124 gr at 4.0 of Titegroup and 1.135 OAL. Anyone have a good starting point for the 147 gr, specifically the OAL? Thanks!

I generally load Titegroup or 700-X in my 44 Special loads, and almost always 240 gr plated bullets. On hand, I have some Unique and 255-258gr PC cast boolits. I have found no recipe, but roundabout math from the 240 gr cast boolit 44 Russian load leads me to believe a 3.8 gr charge is going...

I think it's getting close to time for a new rifle. I'm in the mood for something scoped, short action, tactical-ish. It'll see mostly bench use, but depending on what I end up with, I might use it on whitetail. 223, 243 or 308 are likely the calibers I'd lean toward. Let's hear some...

That old Rock Chucker I swapped some stuff for turned out to be an old Jr. It's a fine press but I'm not fond of the way it feels, and it takes some considerable force to size full length rifle cartridges. The question now is whether to sell it and buy a new Rock Chucker for $100 or set...

This weekend I bought a bunch of old reloading gear (old-ish). In the box is a Redding Model 14 trimmer. I know they don't make that one anymore, but when did they quit? Also picked up these with it: Two cans. Five of these. And these. Curious if anyone can ballpark how old they...

Going to be loading 158 gr JHPs. On hand I have 700-X, Bullseye, and Unique. Still have a little Titegroup as well but didn't plan on using that. I'm not exactly looking for charge weights, just powder suggestions. Thanks!

Potentially trading a Norinco SKS for a complete Rockchucker set up, case trimmer, two sets of dies, brick of primers and a couple of other items. I've got a Lee single stage at the moment and all that goes with it. I'm not real attached to the SKS and already have an internal mag semi...

Getting ready to head out the door and checked handgunlaw.us. Sanity check time. I'm good for loaded, concealed carry in my car on my AL permit, no duty to inform, "no guns" signs carry force of law. Yes? Anything else I need to know? Thanks!

Getting ready for a Thanksgiving road trip. Any places to check out in the Tri-Cities area? I know Wideners is up there but didn't think they had a physical store.

Looking at a 5 digit s/n A5 Light Twelve in rough shape. It has some light surface rust, dings on the stock but no cracks. It needs some TLC but likely nothing I can't handle, cosmetically anyway. Asking price is $500. I've already gotten off to a rough start on this deal when the store...
