I just got a new Savage 114 American Classic in 7mm-08. It's my fourth Savage American Classic, and I'll admit it - I'm addicted. They're beautiful rifles with amazing out-of-the-box accuracy. I'm getting ready to order the dies, and I'm wondering if I can make 7mm-08 brass out of .308 Win...

I haven't owned an AR in several years, and just traded into a new Doublestar lower. I haven't entirely decided if I want to build an AR or trade the thing for something more interesting. I have a few questions for those of you with more AR experience than I have: 1. If I build, I'll...

Hi, I recently acquired an old Savage Model 23C in 32-20 caliber. I hand-load for a broad range of rifles and handguns, so I've already ordered the dies and components. The loads listed in Hornady come under the caveat "Use only in modern rifles or handguns in good condition." I think the...

I hadn't really expected to, but I traded into a Rossi 92 in .45 Colt - it's the 16" carbine version. I like the little carbine, and it seems like a potentially great truck/bumming gun, but I have a question for those of you with more Rossi experience than I have. I load heavy .45 Colt...

Independent representative Mike Harmon (who plans to run for governor in the next election) is introducing legislation that will eliminate all licensing requirements for concealed carry - no permit, no classes, no training. If you can legally own a firearm, you can carry concealed (or open...

My Local Gun Shop had this for 240.00 (on consignment). :scrutiny: It has been re-blued (but competently), and the DA is a touch stiff, but I can help that. All of the numbers match, and the sucker still has the U.S. Property stamp and the ordnance marking. This may be the best gun...

Guns and knives always seem to go together, and I always see several knife dealers set up at our local gun shows. I'm curious if one particular type of shooter is more inclined to also be heavily involved in knife collecting/trading. I know that several of us are interested in many different...

The Rolex in photos thread -- Here -- got me thinking about all the really sharp photos I've seen members post of their guns. Let's see your single favorite gun photo you've taken. I could look at gun-art all day. KR

I happened to trade into a beautiful Ruger Bisley Blackhawk in .45 Colt a couple of months back, and I've had a lot of fun playing with the hotter loads in Hornady. The heavy Blackhawk with its unfluted cylinder and Bisley grip frame soaks up the recoil, and even the magnum-level loads are...

I have a problem. My shooting partner bought one of the new little Savage bolt-action target .22 LRs and has been chewing my butt at shooting paper at 50 yards. I just traded my way into a Remington 504 .22 bolt gun, and I believe my new rifle will hold its own against the Savage. My...

At the local gun show Sunday, I traded a Smith & Wesson 66 4 inch .357 to a Ruger Blackhawk Anniversary .45. It's the Bisley model with the heavily engraved cylinder and factory faux ivory grips. It has the 7.5 inch barrel and looks to have been never fired. It came with a sharp custom...

The latest "shooting rampage" coverage (and especially the posted comments responding to it) have me wondering; what is the most productive way to get people to stop associating this kind of random violence with guns? Find the whole story of what happened yesterday in Kentucky HERE...

Please excuse me if this is a repeat posting; I searched the archives, and couldn't find this topic. A lot of other threads talk about the advantages of this discontinued model over that newer model gun. What firearms would you like to see being produced now as factory new? This could...

I have until tomorrow night to make a deal on a rifle. It isn't stolen, and I know the seller quite well. He's in a pinch for money and is offering to sell me his Interarms (Made by BSA he tells me) Mark X bolt action rifle in .308. I am not at all familiar with this series of rifle; please...

The "gangstas" mentioned in another gunshow thread reminded me of an incident some might find interesting. Some time ago - never mind how long - at a nearby gun show, I was looking at handguns on a local dealer's tables when two thugs came up. They were laughably stereotypical, the clothes...

I've wondered about this for some time now, and am hoping some of you can help me understand the reasoning behind the NFA ban on shoulder-stocked handguns. I realize that having a shoulder stock classifies a firearm as a long-gun, and that rifles have a minimum barrel length of 16 inches...

I didn't know this until I tried to find a good set of Millett sights for my Ruger Security Six, but at some point earlier this year, Millett Sights was acquired by another company and is no longer producing gun sights. They still make scopes and mounting equipment, but no longer manufacture...

Are there any meetings, exchanges, etc. scheduled in Kentucky before the next Lexington gun show in mid September? Stock yards, FTF, or any such? Any info is appreciated. KR

So, I traded into my first Ruger DA wheelgun last weekend. I went to the pawnshop with my father-in-law/shooting partner with a Savage rifle I was looking to trade. I was hoping to trade the rifle and some cash into a handgun of some flavor, whatever looked interesting. They offered me a...

The Daily Beast just posted this. Based on the number of NICS checks last year, here are the rankings of the 50 states based on gun purchasing. I find it fascinating how cleanly the single issue of gun ownership divides Americans and states into those two most familiar camps of "red state /...
