So I started reloading recently, and was told that HP-38/W231 is pretty much as versatile as is get. I have tried working up some loads with it, but I keep getting some really nasty fouling with it. It looks like lots of little orange/yellow crumbs. Ive loaded it hot and mild in 38 special and...

What ever happened to federal? I know this is probably an odd question given whats going on in this country at the moment. I have been looking for Federal ammo for close to a year now, specifically 22 and it seems to be gone, like it dropped off the earth. Even now, Im still seeing the more...

I recently picked up an 18" barrel for my mossberg 500. after I shot it I realized that the single bead sight is off center. Its a single brass bead screwed into a hole in the barrel. I dont see any way to change it so that its centered without drilling another hole in the right spot and trying...

Im looking at getting into reloading. I have the tool set mostly figured out and figure Ill work all the kinks out as I go. Now I just need to figure out the components. The question I need help with is what kind of powder(s), if I had to stick to one or two, would give me a healthy set of...

A friend of mine is in love with bolt actions. Its not my cup of tea but its not going to be my gun. Im trying to help him find a good bolt gun in a fairly common caliber that has iron sights and costs 300-400. Before you jump all over me with Mosins, Ive already suggested that. Hes not...

My friend has a bold action 20 gauge that he wants my help with. The stock is damaged but Im not worried about that. The only markings on it I can find are "TRU-TEST" stamped on the back left side of the receiver and "P.T.G.A." or maybe "F.T.G.A." stamped on the bottom back edge of the barrel...

Ive been looking at buying one of the H&R Pardner single shots for a while. My problem is that I cant figure out what caliber I want to get it in. For a while I was thinking about 12 ga and chopping the barrel, but I have a Mossberg. Then I saw the Buffalo classic version of the rifle. 45-70...

Finally got my first gun. Its a Mossberg 500. It came with everything. Wood furniture, ported 28" barrel, 3 chokes. Havent gotten to shoot it yet but I will soon. My only regret is that I wasnt able to buy it on my 18th birthday. I want to know if there are any mods that can be done to the...

I had my heart set on the 500 for my first shotgun but I was looking around on gunbroker and saw the 1300s. Now I cant decide. What would you guys do? (I can only afford one right now)

In regards to Arizona and federal law: I know that you cant purchase a handgun between the age of 18 and 21 from an FFL. I know that you CAN purchase a handgun from a private individual between the ages of 18 and 21. I know that possession of a handgun is legal if you are at least 18. Am I...

My friend and I took apart a Lefever Nitro Special to clean it out. It was all full of rust. There was so much grime that the spring and pin that hold the release lever open when the action is was fozen down. The cleaning went very well all things considered. Now I have to admit that I am in...

Hey guys, I would like to know if there are any good SxS shotguns that fit these criteria Shorter barrel (18-22") Double triggers 3" chambers ( not really important, just dont want to have to worry about whats going into it) NO automatic safety (safety doesnt come on when you open the action)...

I need a few pieces of advice. Last week, my friend lost his dad to a blood clot in the lung. He was probably one of the most interesting people I have ever met. He just knew so much about so many different things. I am telling you all this because he had a shotgun. It was a fairly old (as...

Is there any particular reason why almost all (maybe all) double action revolvers have cylinders that swing out to the side for loading and single action revolvers have a fixed cylinder and a loading gate? Why is it never the other way around (SA with a swing out cylinder)?

I am trying to decide whether or not i want to get a 44 revolver when I'm old enough. I like the idea of it. The only problem I see concerning whether or not i will enjoy shooting it is recoil. Now, I would love to go test fire one to see if its my cup of tea but I don't seem to know anyone...

I heard about someones attempt to make a 357 magnum even more magnum. The 357 Maximum. It seemed to be a wonderful concept until they realized that, in revolvers, the super high pressures would cause the normally slight gas cutting of the top strap to go deep enough to cause significant...

I am a 17 year old, soon to turn 18 and plan to start my collection of things that go bang ASAP. One of the first things I want to get is a Ruger GP100. I know that I cant buy it from a FFL and I know a few people who might be willing to part with theirs. As I understand it, Its perfectly legal...

... for specific theory questions about various firearms. If Im in the the wrong forum please direct me to the right place. now on to my real question Looking at your typical tube fed shotgun, I notice that the receiver is really long (around 8") and I was thinking that it really doesnt help...

I know this is going to sound a little crazy but I want to build my own gun. Not from parts but from solid steel (with perhaps a few exceptions where it makes sense). I have a friend with machine shop that I am allowed to use as long as it doesnt interfere with his business so equipment is more...

From what I understand, according to NFA regulation, a shotgun with a barrel under 18" or a rifle under 16" or either one with an OAL under 26" is prohibited without the proper paperwork/tax stamp. But what about those rifle/shotgun combo guns such as the Springfield M6 and the like? If you...
