I would agree. I do not use “cheap” ammunition in ours, unless you count 9mm European ball such as S&B in that. That stuff actually works quite well. I will NEVER use (or even try) steel-cased Russian ammunition it it, as I save that for Glocks and beater 1911’s, etc. My reloads are assembled...

I’m one who actually gets a fair amount of use out of it, with both the 9mm & .38/.357 cylinders. I’ve put about 2,500+ .38, 500 .357, and a whole lot more 9mm through it in the last year, and so far it has been 100%. Now, I will say that I keep the face of the cylinder very clean because of...

I got tired of dealing with new firearms that had lots of problems. So far, I have been very pleased with this:

Here is a 3”(?) 586 made for a Brazilian police contract that was never delivered.

No, just no. The factory shouldn’t be pinching these butt nuggets in the outgoing shipping basket. Hoping to eventually get something worth your hard-earned money by sending it back even once is totally unacceptable considering what you paid for it.

As to the ending of the NFA and GCA OF 1968: Respectfully, I do not see that happening anytime soon, at least not in my lifetime. That case would have to slowly wind its way up to The Eunuchs of SCOTUS, after having to go through a likely gauntlet of lower court shenanigan, as illustrated by...

Starting to sound like the way California is headed. We currently are allowed to do a “family transfer” within certain thresholds, but that definition is narrow, and must by law be reported. I see the whole situation with National gun shows and sales eventually going the same as California, in...

A comforting notion to his family might be that over 350 people who likely never met him in person took time to send their best wishes, and remembrances of the helpful insight he offered. That is huge; it is a part of the spirit that makes America such a special place, and to know that there are...

Skribs, that is EXACTLY how I evaluate what given load I may use.

You have done very well! The more I fire our 625, the smoother it gets.

I have had occasion to put a bit over three hundred rounds down-range, mostly from field positions from two examples. Both functioned 100% and seemed to be very accurate. If I were in the market for an AR-type .308 semi, it would be my first choice.

Yea, I remember well the zip codes when I grew up there in the SFV. Sure has changed over the last fifty years.

That is a very good summation of the ammunition situation. I have friends who have no problems, and yet they live within city limits of Los Angeles. Others I know in local neighborhoods only a few miles from them can't get much. Go figure. L.A. is so spread out, so expect anything, none of...

Jrdolall, Thank you for the tip. I will look for same next time I walk through our local discount store. I do a fair bit of night shooting with various electronics, so that may help. However, like burrhead advised, I keep only the best in our weapons when they go back on the grab-&-go rack...

I like mine so much I am considering a second for my kids. Mine shoots very well, about 1inch at 100 yards with our reloads. I like the iron sights, they are very simple. The bolt works very smoothly, and ejection is robust. The factory trigger is excellent, no creep at all, and even lighter...

Ruger SP101, 2.5"

We now own three (3) GSR's, the latest with stainless action and synthetic stock. For our uses on the ranch, they have turned out to be the best jeep gun yet, being very rugged and reliable. I much prefer using an EIR optic, two of the examples using the Leupold 1.5X5 EIR Scout with Firedot...

Interesting, as my 527 shoots Wolf just fine; I too had a large stock of it, and bought the 527 to shoot it up.

Can't say much about the savage, other than the examples I own in other calibers are all very decent rifles. I can say that the CZ 527 in 7.62X39 is a very well made little rifle that is very accurate with many types of surplus, ball, and modern hunting ammunition I have tried in it. While not...
