I know this topic has likely been beat to death, and I've read other threads from other forums on the topic, but would like input. I went on a successful squirrel hunt with a friend this weekend. This was my only my second time hunting and the first time I've taken any game myself. I went home...

I’m considering getting into .350 Legend, but have one reservation. One of the things attractive to me about .350 Legend as a reloader is the prospect of being able to cook up loads using the same cast bullets as what I might load in .357 Magnum or .38 Special. However, it sounds like .350...

I was recently working on a 10/22 for a friend. He was having some feeding issues with it and I told him I’d be happy to take a look. In the end, I diagnosed the gun to just be in need of a thorough cleaning (which I did, and it cleared the issue). What alarmed me most though was this: I...

Hello, A few years ago, I inherited my grandfather's 1911, which he shot in various steel challenge-type matches over the years. I believe he acquired it sometime in the 50's or 60's, and he shot it a lot. By my limited estimation, it is an original non-A1 Colt 1911 frame built circa 1918, in...

Hello, I have a Webley Mark VI that was carried by my grandfather during WWII. It's one that had been re-chambered to .45 ACP. The story is that he acquired it from a Canadian Mountie when he was stationed up north prior to being shipped off to Europe. As far as I can tell, it functions fine...

I'm looking to make my first foray into .17 HMR. Planning to mainly shoot benchrest at 100-200 yards, possibly dabbling in some varmint hunting at those ranges. I'm looking to get into a CZ 457 Varmint with 20.5" barrel. I'm reviewing scope options. My optics budget is <$250. I'm looking for...

So, this question is purely academic, and probably has no practical bearing, but I'm curious anyway. I had a thought as I was cleaning my Single Ten the other day after putting several hundred lead rounds through it without a thorough cleaning (I often just do a superficial cleaning with a CLP...

Howdy, I have a Single Ten with stock Williams fiber optic sights. The gun shoots fantastic, but over time I noticed some windage inconsistency in my groups that I couldn't quite account for. Shooting from rest at 7-10 yards, my windage was sometimes spot on, and other times I was ending up...

I’ve loaded .45 Colt almost exclusively now for the last 4 years or so. My pet, all purpose load has historically been a 250 grain Missouri Bullet RNFP or 255 grain SWC over 8.5 grains of Unique. This is a pretty traditional load with a well-documented love throughout the forum over the years...

I was standing at the reloading bench today and got to thinking (which is always dangerous). I’m curious: Who taught you to handload? I’m interested in what the demographics would look like among the forum members these days.

I am considering putting a scope on one of my Rossi 92's in .45 Colt. Scope will sit in front of the action and require long eye relief. I don't have any prior experience with scout scopes. Any recommendations on a scope for this endeavor? Was thinking something like a 4x28 fixed with about a...

I've been looking for some fiber optic sights to replace the stock sights on my .45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk, but can't seem to find any. There are a number of aftermarket options for the Super Blackhawk, and some listed for Blackhawks as well, but they all state in the description, "does not fit...

Alright, I have to be doing something dumb, and need some help. I recently picked up a Ruger American Rimfire in .22 LR with a 22" barrel. I've been very pleased with it so far. I ended up adding Tech Sights, which I've used for 10/22's in the past and have had great experience with. I went to...

I have a Ruger American Rimfire .22 LR with Tech Sights on it. I enjoy the Tech Sights, but would like to see if there would be a viable way to also mount a scope (not a red dot) in such a way that leaves the Tech Sights visible. The Tech Sights, of course, are already fairly tall, and as it...

I'm trying to find a full flap holster for my Single Ten 5.5", but having a frustrating time. I tried one holster, which was supposedly made to fit this pistol, but the flap had an enormous amount of "dead space" between the gun and the flap. It just felt way too bulky. You can see what I mean...

I recently picked up a new Rossi 92 in .45 Colt. I put about 80 rounds through it at the range and decided it was a keeper. Thought I'd share my amateur refinish project with you. The original factory finish on these guns is very hit or miss. This one overall had a fairly consistent finish, but...

I found a very well priced H&R Topper 158 at my LGS this week. Had some trivial surface rust spots in the exterior of the barrel, but the bore looked great. Stock was a bit dirty and grimy, but nothing concerning. Could tell the ejector needed some love, but other than that; nice tight lockup...

I'd like to install side sling mounts on a Rossi 92. While researching, I learned about the Winchester 1894 "Belgian Congo" rifles that had side mounts. This design seems to be about perfect for what I am wanting to accomplish. Does anyone have any idea where I could find these parts, or parts...

I have an H&R Classic Carbine that the previous owner had installed a rear sling stud in. I'd like to get rid of the sling stud to return it to a more classic look. To keep things simple, I'm hoping there is such a thing as some sort of filler screw I can buy, just to fill the void and make...

Hi there, I'm trying to wrap my head around the current state of the SAA replica market -- specifically the world of EMF/Taylor's/Cimarron and Uberti/Pietta. Historically, I've owned only Vaqueros and Blackhawks, but I have a hankering to add a more classical SAA replica to my collection. I'm...
