Read a good article on the 7600P that indicated they were getting MOA groups with the right ammo and a good scope. That's certainly accurate enough for me. I'm wondering about modifications to it though. Having never had a 7600, I wonder if the folding stocks meant for an 870 shotgun would be...

As a strong Ruger man, I jumped at the chance to buy a 7.5 inch LNIB stainless Old Army with a .45 Colt aftermarket cylinder too at a great price. Ruger Forum members, thanks again for the help and guidance. Not a BP shooter ever before, I'd like to buy appropriate accessories too when I go to...

A good friend was recently gifted two revolvers by an aging fried. We're trying to find dates of manufacture and possible values. First is a Smith and Wesson .38 special with 4 inch taper barrel. Looks to be a pre-k frame. Serial number "C 355XX". Looks to be 80-85 percent condition. Old style...

Back last year as the "ban" died I bought a new Vector UZI carbine (Group Ind receiver, semi-auto) with the folding stock. Enjoyed it a great deal, and put several hundred rounds thru it before my interests changed. Is now a safe queen. A friend may be interested in it since he can shoot pistol...

Just returned from the store for a few last minute items. Crowded to say the least. Quite offensive were the folks who apparently had had big breakfasts and thoughtlessly eructated large, all-encompassing belch clouds I was unable to avoid as I worked my way through the checkout. I always try to...

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool revolver guy. I realize the jump from the cylinder to the forcing cone of the barrel is a hindrance to revolver accuracy when compared to the consistant positioning of the single chamber and barrel unit of an auto, but has anyone ever really quantified loss of accuracy on...

Never have used them, but as I have aged, the attraction of gloves as a helper to recoil absorbtion has become more apparent. Arthritis in my hands you know. I use Hogue rubber grips on my .357's and .44mag and they help a lot. But I read of gloves and even wrist braces being good precautions...

My VEPR is scoped and I'd like to put a folding bipod on it that attaches to the front sling swivel. Lots of brands have shown up in the last few years, including one that Walmart stocks for about $40. Mine is a nice rifle and I don't want junk, but I have a limited accessory budget right...

Just wondering. I didn't know it was available. Does it have the non-slip pebble texture I like so well on their rubber grips? Dishwasher safe. Not MY dishwasher.

A physician I work with has a French(?) Unique pistol, cal 32ACP. Haven't seen it myself, but he says it was a WW2 bringback or was bought shortly thereafter. Problem is, the magazine has been lost down thru the years. I told him I'd post a request to help me find him a replacement. Were there...

Just had the pleasure of assisting two state troopers change a flat. They help others, and I was glad I could help them for a change. Their vehicle, similar to mine, did not have a flexible joint needed for the cranking rod that drops the spare from under the truck----probably is sitting in some...

I have 10 acres and would like to construct a dedicated dirt backstop down from my patio to allow me shooting from a bench. Does anybody know of a site that shows some construction methods for nice backstops (outdoors)? I have generally in mind a clay and topsoil backstop berm 6 feet high...

I'm no military person or LE. Just a middle-aged fat man raising his family as best he can.I have read the postings and many contain, in my opinion, very sound reasoning on selection of SHTF weapons in urban and rural settings. Yes, ammo weight is an issue, and should one have to leave a base...

Favorite dealer has a NIB 10 inch stainless MK2 for $320. I have one already and it's a favorite, but an identical twin sister for mine could be fun. Is this a good price folks? Told him I would let him know this morning. Thanks.

Dad passed away in 1978 at the young age of 46 from a heart condition. I was 20 at the time, and this year I turn 47. It really makes me realize just how short Daddy's tenure on this earth was. I still miss you every day Daddy. In 1966 Dad bought a used Smith 41 for paper punching. It was...

On my little 10 acre farm , deer run through my front and back yard routinely, ( I'm told KY has over 600,000 deer statewide, so I'm not suprised) and the woods just behind my house harbors a small herd. I find that I am concerned that come deer season, my scoped 6 inch GP100 may be impractical...

Some days ago, I posted that I was debating on either a 9.5 inch Superredhawk or a Bisley Superblackhawk. Thanks so much all for the beautiful pictures and the insightful input into my personal debate. My reasons for choosing the SRH do not in any way reflect unhappiness with the SBH, it's just...

My SP101 seems to be the forgotten child when pocket holsters were designed. Don Hume (I like their products) has a nice leather pocket holster with the hook I want but , of course, not for my SP101. Smith J frame holsters are too small by a fraction, but I wonder about the Colt Dick Special. If...

I'm a diehard single action fan, with a 10 inch SBH,and 2 stainless Single Sixes. Time for adding something, and with freed-up cash for only one, I keep vascillating between the two big bore revolvers. I love the double action Rugers too you understand, and the idea of having a BIG brother to...

If I remember right, MIM stands for "molten injected metal". Please educate me. Is this correct? If so, what are the ups and downs? As a toolmaker, I'm familiar with powdered steel approaches and castings. Are these parts still n Smiths? Thanks.
