Hi all, I am interested in hearing peoples opinions on new/newer 22 revolvers. I would like to do some plate shooting with it and maybe introduce new shooters to revolvers with it. I own a S+W model 34 kit gun but the trigger is awful so it doesn't get any use. Should I try to improve it...

Hi everyone, I just got a message from a guy who was having problems with his remington 48 shotgun. I own one myself and am fond of it. The shotgun is recoil operated. The barrel slides back into the receiver. There is a spring inside the fore-end that pushed back against the barrel. A...

A coworker is getting into skeet and asked me about over and unders for it. He has a mossberg which had to have the firing pins replaced. He now worries that they will break again and wants some advice on a lower priced O/U to use. So what ones are decent and reliable? If he buys used, is...

Hi everybody, I am wondering if anyone has some suggestions for me to assemble a First Aid Kit for my clubs shooting range. We have a small kit for our public shoots but I feel that having one around full time would be a good thing. I thought that I could use an extra tool box I had, stuff it...

Hi All, is there interest in a CT meet up in the spring? I remember there was one a while back in Guilford. I've met some of the guys here and had a great time shooting with them. So does anyboy want to try it again? pete

What the title says. I'm interested in what happened or what you did. In my case I was living in Bridgeport, CT in a not so great neighborhood. When the Rodney King riots started there were demonstrations that blocked off access to my block. I tried to go around and got lost. I found myself...

I just got a 1022 carbine and I want to learn some simple smithing. Parts change out that sort of stuff. The rifle will be used for plate shoots with iron sights so it needs to be handy and reliable. Any thoughts or ideas for me? I did the search and found the other boards. There seems to be so...

Hi everybody, I have a storm carbine and am generally happy with it. It is handy andaccurate for me. There are a few things that I have questions about. Firstly, does any one make upgrades for the trigger and the sights? The peep sight is driving me nuts and the trigger could use some help...

Hi everybody, I'm looking for some help with the mental parts of competition. I started shoooting plates last year and have found that as the pressure gets more intense I shoot worse. It isn't only me. In the round where I was eliminated I shot 14 rounds and the winner shot 15 but there were...

Hi everyone, A co worker of mine is a serious hunter. He uses mainly bow, but will use a rifle or shotgun when he has to. He is a meat hunter and will bring home at least 1 or 2 deer every year. He said he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a pistol and asked me if I could spend a day...

Hi all, I'm wondering if I'm ruining my watches wearing them when I shoot pistols. I have several timex chronographs that have all failed the same way. The stopwatch function has become messed up. I don"t know if they just crap out like that anyway. I'm scared to wear any of my pricier watches...

Hi All, With the winter coming my club stops outdoor rifle competitions and goes to pistol caliber carbines instead. I think it has to do with concern about ricochets(spelling?) from the frozen ground or the berm. People use Barretta storms,Rugers, Kel tecs and lever actions. There are a couple...

Hi All, I just wanted to brag I finally won a plate shoot at my club. It isn't that I'm all that great but the weather was crappy, the match format a little different, and the turnout was low. That means I snagged the A class trophy. There are some guys who can smoke through the plate...

Hi all, I'm just back from AZ which I would recommend to anyone BTW, and want to share one anecdote. We were in Phoenix getting ready to return and my wife said "I saw an ad yesterday where you could go to a gun club and rent guns." That's no biggie I thought. Nothing I couldn't do at home...

Every body put down your tinfoil hats I'm not asking about burying guns in the back forty. A co worker of mine who is not a gun guy has a Plainfield M-1 carbine that he inherited. He has only shot it once over 7 years ago and cleaned it then. After that he just left it in a soft case. I told...

Hi everyone, I just joined a gun club and went to the first meeting. It was an interesting experience. Invariably any disscusion went off topic in about 5 minutes. It seems that most of the work is done by a few of the people but everybody has a gripe. We are improving the range by building...

Hi everybody, I was reading some threads here about retail transactions namely Eric the holster maker and Bearcoat the "refinisher". In Eric's case he admitted he made a mistake and apologised and offered to refund peoples money without too much fuss. Bearcoat seemed to go out of its way to...

Hi everybody, I have a CZ 97b and it's getting under my skin. It is sooo close to being perfect for me that the 2 small problems really bug me. The grips are a hair too big for me and I have to get 12 volt man to sand them and refinish them. The kick is they are only held on by one screw in...

Hi, Has anybody ever taken any classes from Defense Associates at Blue Trail in Connecticut? What do you think about LFI 1 or Chuck Taylor's defensive pistol course? I am interested in taking these classes and defense associates has a package deal for them. Are they good training? What...

Why does that phrase always make me want to throw up? Is it because it is always the rationale for some new way to restrict my rights and steal money from my wallet? To enlarge the power of the state at my expense? Why do voters fall for such a line of horse manure? The poster on the...
