I just recently bought 1000 O/F .38 special brass that is very old (guesstimate late 1930's). Besides tarnish that will clean off, would there be any issues with the aged brass being brittle? After cleaning, are they safe to shoot. I do not have a hardness tester to check/compare old to...

I found .357 O/F nickled brass for $13 per 250 + flat rate S&H, can fit like 2800 in a box for the same flat rate. He has over 200,000, I was thinking I can trim/re-size them back to .38 special and use them for my mid range loads on the cheap. I have an electric trimmer set that makes the work...

Does anyone know how much the mfg's pay in excise taxes on each gun manufactured as well as the ammunition? I tried to look it up on the net and there was nothing definitive that tells me how much of MY money goes to the FEDS when I buy a new gun or when one is manufactured. The NRA site...

Arthritis and pistol shooting As I am getting older now, my arthritis is getting worse and my gripping is getting to be a chore. I have changed grips on my K frame model 10 to both Pachmyer and Sile thumb rest, the Sile seems to help more but I cannot use speed loaders with them and they do...

I just received my new Lee Auto & Hand primer. The instructions warn of possible primer explosions and cited a "Cocked Primer" as one of the possibilities. I looked in both Lee manuals I have and a RCBS manual and NONE mention what a cocked primer is. Can someone please explain what this is...

I have seen many M16A1/A2 kits out there, all parts except the receiver (Sarco, Numrich etc.) for $485.00. Can those parts kits be built onto a Semi Auto lower without much issues and be legal and come out with a decent AR15/M4 to build up from?

I just watched a news report on Fox Cable. They state that the Castle Doctrine in PA may include in public as well. The only caviat being is by LAW you would have the "DUTY to Escape or Flee" the confrontation. I doubt anyone wants to just stand there and be a target and would avoid when...

Does anyone make a downloadable single caliber load formula / data sheet? (links to websites would be appreciated) I want to print them to the new Tyvek printer paper (wont tear or stain) for a few calibers. Every place I look they want me to buy a load book for hundreds of calibers and data...

I was wondering what you all thought would be a good set of survival put away parts for a K frame (Model 10 as well as a 1921 M&P)? I currently have: 2 S&W mainsprings 1 cylinder stop screw 1 grip screw for standard stock grips 3 sideplate screws 1 - pre-fitted drop in hammer assy 1...

While at the gun show this weekend, I picked up this nifty lil gadget that will load special conversion .38 special cases to shoot a pellet with a primer out of your .38 special revolver or rifle. It was made in 1963 and is in great condition. The instructions state that calibers .44 and .45...

I posted this at the S&W forum and thought you all would enjoy commenting on this ammunition. I was told there these are .38 Special AMU, although it does not say that on the box or ammo.... Ok I know I am new to all of this, but this has me stumped. I bought these at a gun show over the...

I have a 1936 S&W M&P (model 10) (4 screw) .38 Special. I bought it with two sideplate screws missing. The upper flat head sideplate and the far left round head sideplate screws are missing and have rolled over threads. I ordered the sideplate screws from a place called Brownells. Does...
