Please correct or add advice where appropriate... I wanna buy a suppressor, and avoid the CLEO. (I'm legal; I've got an approved Florida and MS CCW. My CLEO has a reputation for reluctance.) I already have a revocable trust in force. I read all the links in post #2 here...

Dunno if I should be allowed to brainstorm or not... I was thinking about converting the hammer/safety system on a 3" 1911 clone by installing a Cylinder and Slide "Safety Fast Shooting System" so I could carry the midget in my pocket as a BUG. In order to streamline the hammer for pocket...

I have a newly delivered Commander that fails to properly load the last round from several magazines. I've used the mags in two other Commanders without any problems, but in this Commander, the last round chambers 'completely' except that it loads in front of the extractor. I know this probably...

Hope somebody out there can help me. I thought I remembered reading that RCBS sizing dies are interchangeable with the Star lubricator-sizer. Is this true? Thank you.

Credit Redneck2 for the above advice. I added another "refinement".... You can work even faster if you use a foot-pedal to operate the case-release lever on the left side. I cut a notch on either side of the lever's handle to allow me to fasten a length of rope to the handle firmly (so it...

I spent almost 3 hours on 4 websites reading every piece of advice for cleaning lead-fouled barrels. There seemed to be 8 favorite methods that were repeatedly suggested (in no particular order): 1) Lewis Lead Remover 2) Shooter's Choice Lead Remover (soak; no maximum time limit) 3)...

I bought a gun through a private internet sale and filled out the usual paperwork for it at the store. My FFL holder says just in passing, "ya know, there's no record that this gun ever changed hands unless they come check here". Huh?? My FFL says the only information given is that my ID...

Title line pretty much says it all.... How can one tell a barrel is stainless steel and not carbon? Thank you.

For all ya'll who're devotees to IPSC/IDPA-type shooting-- do you regularly shoot bullseye targets for practice, and if so, why/how do you think it helps your 'combat shooting'? Out of every ~1000 rounds, I probably shoot 975 at torso and steel plate targets; at most, I'll shoot mebbe 25...

What does it mean when someone describes a CZ75 as "old style--new 1998"? Does that make it more desirable than a model built in, say, 1999 or 2002? Thank you.

Given this hypothetical data, how far could this bullet travel if it didn't hit anything til it hit the ground? .45 ACP 850fps 185 grain bullet assume a BC of .135 barometric pressure- 29.70 300' above sea level temp 75 degrees, humidity 60% I'm told the optimum angle is ~30...

Forgive the idiocy. I'm not up on AR-15's. This is advertised as a NIB MT6400C, 16" barrel, 1-7 twist flattop. What should I look out for? Thank you.

Hawkeye markets 2 borescopes--a "Limited Edition" and a "Deluxe Kit". The 'Deluxe' includes an adjustable focus eyepiece for an additional $250. What does the 'Deluxe' version do that the LE won't? For $850, the thing oughta get out and mow my lawn. :)

from http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/09/holster.recall.ap/index.html : Holsters recalled for causing guns to fire accidentally Wednesday, June 9, 2004 Posted: 8:08 PM EDT (0008 GMT) WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Pennsylvania company is recalling some 3,200 gun holsters because the...

Been away from shooting for the while when Walther and S&W "merged". Did they go in as partners, or 'who bought who', out? What would ya'll say about the current quality of Walthers now, and if it has deteriorated, when did the reputation start to suffer? Thank you all.

I modified an RCBS manual trimmer like this http://www.midwayusa.com/rewriteaproduct/715371 for speed. (You will need shellholders for it, and Midway sells the "full version" of this trimmer with shellholders [for an illustrated example].) "Used" will cost you about 50% of internet vendor...

I posted this as a reply to another thread, but thought it deserved its' own under a more appropriate title. The recommended place to store primers, powder, and assembled bullets is a "cool, dry place" that won't go through temperature fluctuations. I store mine in derelict refrigerators that...

The Accurate Arms version of 4064 has always been way cheaper than IMR4064. Does it shoot so much uglier than IMR4064 that it warrants the bargain price? Anyone like XMR-4064 for .308 ?

I'd like to know if anyone has fired 45-70 ammo in a rifle chambered for 45-90 cartridges? What kind of accuracy is possible out to about 300yd in this scenario?

Does anyone know where I might find recommendations for charge weights for smokeless powder reloads in caliber 45-90 ? Thank you.
