    Marlin Glenfield 25 Carbine?

    Any Marlin experts here? Did Marlin ever make a carbine version of the Glenfield 25? I came by a 1981 vintage Glenfield 25 with a barrel that is 18” long. I’ve not seen one with a short barrel like that before and was wondering if it was a factory option or if a gunsmith shortened a standard...

    Load Data for 90 gr .223?

    I came by a small quantity of 90 gr, .22 cal (.224) jacketed Fusion bullets. I would like to try these in some .223 loads but am having trouble finding load data for the powders I have on hand (H335, IMR4064, H4831 & IMR4350). Does anyone have any .223 load data for these powders they would like...

    Value of a Sig Centerfire X-Change Kit?

    Can someone please tell me the approximate value of a new Sig P229 Centerfire 9MM X-Change Kit? This is the kit that replaces the P229 .40/.357 slide and barrel with a new 9MM slide, barrel, magazine, etc. I understand they are no longer made and can be difficult to find. Thanks in advance.

    Selling Ammo

    I've been selling some of my extra ammo to my friend who owns our local gun shop. He has treated me well in the past so I figure it's my turn to help him a bit. He needs some ammo on his shelves to keep customers coming in. I can still make a handsome profit on my unneeded ammo while helping my...

    Can You Help ID this Pistol?

    A friend sent me a couple photos of a .32 cal pistol she is trying to identify. She told me it has a small eagle stamped on it which I’m assuming is a Nazi proof mark? She sent a couple of photos which aren’t the best but will hopefully be enough for identification. Can anyone tell me what...

    Copper Bullet (Lehigh) Question

    Please note - I’m not interested in a discussion of calibers for bear but rather in bullet performance regardless of caliber. Not long ago, I had a couple of close encounters with black bears that started me thinking about my choice of bullets in my field carry load. I had been using Gold Dots...

    AR Question

    An older friend of mine has asked me to help him find a good AR15 to replace his Mini-14. He wants a good varmint gun. I showed him my older Bushmaster and my Lewis Machine Tool and he likes the accuracy of both. It has been a long time since I bought an AR and I heard that Bushmaster is now...

    Flat Point Bullet Question

    I’ve heard people say that jacketed flat point bullets will create a much larger wound cavity than FMJ round nose. That sounds reasonable but has anyone had any real experience with them regarding terminal performance? Has anyone tested a round nose and flat nose side by side in ballistics gel...

    My thoughts on reloading 9MM & .357 Sig

    What I find most intriguing about reloading is that after having done it for 42 years, I’m still learning. For the past several years I have been experimenting with various 9MM loads using well over a dozen different jacketed bullet styles and weights and four different powders in eight or nine...

    It's Possible to Shoot 9MM in a .357 Sig

    When I’m reloading, I keep a can near the press for what I call “factory seconds”. These “seconds’ are rounds that are less than perfect for various reasons. Usually it’s because I didn’t like the way it felt when I seated the primer or the bullet. For whatever reason, I gage the round then put...

    Pics of the new Arizona border fence

    In case anyone was wondering what our new Arizona border fence looks like, here are some pics I snapped yesterday while riding our ATV’s. It’s quite formidable, constructed of welded railroad track and nearly waist high in some places. It stretches for as far as the eye can see. Who says our...

    Please help me identify this magazine

    Can someone please help me identify these magazines? I picked up a few of these in a package deal and I have no idea what they will fit. A couple of them have a Cobray emblem. They measure 8.25 inches and are tapered from front to rear. The rear is wider than the front face. They appear to be...
