    M1A trigger

    This is a new one to me. No trigger problems with either of my Springfields. (the op rod on one is a different story though)

    What qualities bother you most about businesses which sell firearms?

    For years I was a "regular" at a local store. It was almost like being "Norm" on "Cheers" when I went through the doors. I bought a lot of guns, ammo and reloading supplies there. The store got bigger, and staff changed. If I knew I could always deal with the owner when I went in, I'd still...

    It Doesn't Take Many Idiots To Ruin It For The Rest Of Us

    I always have a few contractor type garbage bags in my truck. When I go out to the local gravel pit I usually end up filling one with shot up beer cans, TV parts and other junk that people have just left there. A lot of these places are getting gated due to slobs. But sometimes I get lucky...

    Kimber 84 Hunter

    84M Classic here in .308. Very pretty little rifle that replaced my Remington Model 7. I like it a lot, light to carry and comes up naturally. Little Leupold 1.5-5X VX3 on it. As others have said, it heats up after a couple shots and starts stringing, but it's not meant to be a battle...

    .22 Short ammunition

    Been a while since I've even seen it. I still have a pretty good stash as I use a lot of it in my Marlin 39....good for thinning out the tree rats.

    Firearm and Ammo Inventory Management

    I've got an Excel spread sheet for my guns....been meaning to add pictures to if for years now. Ammo?....it's like Christmas sometimes when I dig through the boxes. Nothing like finding a few spam cans of 30-06 loaded in enbloc clips you'd forgotten about...or half a dozen 7.62 Nato "battle...

    Ruger just released LCR-X in 22

    I have a little snub nosed Hi-Standard Sentinel...9 shots and lighter. I just can't get too excited in this new Ruger.

    special and magnum loads, same point of aim

    I wonder if it may be in part caused by unconsciously taking a firmer grip on the magnum loadings?? May be a good self test to have a buddy load the cylinder with a mix of rounds and see what happens.

    special and magnum loads, same point of aim

    Oh heck...it's a total mish-mash of everything from powder puff 148 grain wadcutters to fairly hot magnums. It seems the most pronounced in my 8 3/8 Mdl 629, as you said the difference is a foot or more. I just adjust the hold and seem to do OK enough when plinking away at the gravel pit. I...

    M&P 9 shield am I the only one

    Don't worry about the frame having just tabs instead of a full length rail, or being able to see the spring.. Take a peek at a Glock and it's the same set-up pretty much. Even my HK USP is the same. As far as the ergonomics, I like mine. I've got fairly big hands and even with the short...

    Walther Pistols...

    I only have one Walther, a Houlton made PPK/S. It brings out the Bond...James Bond in me. So that's the one I'll keep, and since I grew up in Houlton Maine, it has kind of special place in my heart....

    special and magnum loads, same point of aim

    I get a pretty pronounced change in POI when going between .44Mag/Spcl or 357/38. The specials hit higher. But I'm shooting off hand, and not sure if that has any effect. Longer time in the barrel and thus recoil has brought muzzle up higher at time of exit??

    Practicing at an outdoor range- awareness

    I do almost all my shooting in remote gravel pits. I too, like the OP always carry a loaded handgun and never leave any gun on the tailgate of the truck if I walk down to reset a target or staple up a new one.I also lock the cab and have the keys in my pocket. I'm not going to set any records...

    Hornady and Vortex Teaming Up To Make Bullet Cams?

    Average video clip at 100 yards would be about 0.10 seconds...better not blink!!

    .22 readily available

    I'm seeing some of the hoarder's stashes coming out in the weekly local swap and trade magazine. LGS has it, but pricey still. Nothing on the shelf at the Walmart in Brewer Maine. Maybe because we're at the end of the road up here is why it's taking so long. Luckily I bought 20 bricks of...

    Perfecta 158gr 357 and 38 special ammo

    I've never bought any myself, but sometimes I shoot at the local gravelpit with a friend who doesn't reload. He buys what's ever cheap. Last summer he bought 4 boxes of 38 and a couple boxes of .357 Perfecta at Wally World. Seemed to work well out of his old Model 58. Best part is I got all...

    Herter's 401 PowerMag??

    Thanks for all the information and links to stuff about this "classic" loading. There does seem to be a small cult following. Yes,The Herter's 401 was made by Sauer and Sohn. Their insignia is stamped on my gun and "Made in West Germany" stamped on the barrel. German proof marks on the...

    Herter's 401 PowerMag??

    Does anybody else have and shoot one of these "world famous" single action beasts? My brother and nephew found one and gave it to me for Christmas of 2015. No ammo for it to be found, but I managed to resize some 41 Mag brass with my 10mm dies, trim down the case length and using 180 grain...

    Question about Numrich gun parts

    I just did my first order with Numrich last week. I never got any notice of shipping, but FedEx showed up in the driveway with 2 new cylinders for my Herter's 401Powermag.

    .41 Mag Association

    Hey 200Apples! Nice gun for sure and I picked up a used 3-Screw just like it a few years ago. It didn't like full power factory ammo and kept spitting the base pin. I keep my re-loads on the mild side as I'm just punching paper and plinking. I checked it out and couldn't find anything wrong...
