Been gone for a while (from the entire forum, not just revolvers. Not sure if I've ever posted in this sub-forum.) While I was gone, I got remarried. My new wife's late husband had several guns that she wasn't aware of. She knew he had some but didn't know anything about them. My late wife...

... is that when you move the gun collection, your wife finds out how many guns you actually own. :) We bought a house a couple of miles away from our current abode and the biggest issue for me in terms of value was getting the guns moved over. There's nothing individually very valuable...

So I'm sitting at home going back and forth between freezing and feeling like my face is going to spontaneously combust along with all sorts of other nasty symptoms so it seemed like the perfect time to do some work in my reloading room. In the middle of it I realized that I only have about 400...

My dad inherited a High Standard Model B from his brother when he passed away a few years ago. He was finally able to take possession of it this week. He went out and shot it* and it wouldn't cycle. It shoots fine, but he says that the slide doesn't move at all when fired and had to be cycled...

For those who don't have it, the latest issue of Handloader has a full reprint of the 1st ever issue. Just a couple of things I noticed in the old issue: 1. In the "Clean Those Guns" column there's a reference to a blue ointment used to remove lead fouling. It's a mixture of tallow and...

So about two years ago, I picked up two rifles to use as action donors for builds. One is a Savage 110 in 30-06 that I plan on turning into either a 6.5-06 or 280 (either may be AI, but I don't know yet.) It came with a 4-16x50 Barska "sniper" scope on extra-high rings. They were high enough...

So I worked up a nice accurate load for my AR (Stag lower, RRA NM varmint trigger, RRA Predator Pursuit 20" upper). Using Hornady 60 gr v-max and sp bullets, 26.5 gr Varget, CCI #41 primers, and LC cases. I'm getting consistent 3/4" 5-shot groups @ 100 yards with the v-max and slightly larger...

That conclusion is that if you've never touched a gun in your life, you probably won't be able to defend yourself with one. In other news, people who have never touched a piano do very poorly when trying to perform on piano at Carnegie Hall...

So, I was given a Winchester model 190 yesterday by my Dad. My uncle (his brother-in-law) gave it to him a couple of years ago. My dad didn't shoot it at all and my uncle didn't clean it at all. Ever. I'm not exaggerating. The 190 is the budget version of the 290 which was designed...

Also known as the Pheasant opener in Utah. My son (in his early 20's) finally got a license and we're going tomorrow. At least my family has lots of land to hunt. We'll at least come home with some cottontails. Pheasant populations are supposed to be up some this year and my brother, who...

If anyone else is looking, it's in stock as of right now. I've been waiting for _any_ 257 Bob brass for over a year. Nosler is a little expensive, but it's usually really good stuff...

They've identified the 5 most dangerous guns in america! http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/pictures/the-5-most-dangerous-guns-in-america-20140714 It's a slideshow, so I'm going to have to paraphrase: 1. Pistols 2. Revolvers 3. Rifles 4. Shotguns 5. Derringers :banghead: The...

http://www.slickguns.com/product/0-billet-ar-15-lower-receiver-80-arms-2899 I want one! Only $28.99! Matt

So, this was my first interaction with firearms-related customer support and it was a very refreshing change from the usual computer software-and-hardware related phone calls I've made in my life. Since I've yet to buy a gun that was anywhere near new, I haven't had the opportunity to utilize...

I've got a 257 roberts that I had built last year. Like an idiot, I wasn't buying up every bit of 257 Bob brass when it was available everywhere last year. I only picked up a bag of 50 because "I'll get more later." Now, there ain't no more later. Those 50 are currently loaded, but I have...

This has to do with the rifle mentioned in this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=730315 It's a Dominican Republic mauser with the original 7x57 21" barrel. It seems that it has a very tight chamber headspace-wise, but has a very oversized throat/neck clearance. All of...

Here's the latest victim, er, acquisition... It's a Dominican Republic 1908/53 or whatever it's called dated 1959. It started life as a short rifle with the 21" barrel and is now wearing a monte-carlo stock, a Dayton-Traister trigger and safety, and a Redfield mount. It's still...

Why is this illegal? Thankfully I live in Utah, which always scores near the bottom of the Brady Bunch's scorecard, but my son asked me this today. I have family that lived in California and had to abide by their draconian gun laws until a short time ago when they moved to a more gun-friendly...

So. I picked up a Lee Load-All 2 at my LGS a couple of weeks ago. I'm not saying that it's old, but it had a layer of dust on the box that completely obscured the printing and the free load manual that came in it was from 1995. Oh, and the first time I saw it on the shelf there was over 10...

I'm in the market for a lever-action 30-30, just because I think I need one. Ok, I don't really need one, but I want one. I know that some consider it blasphemy, but I want one with a pistol grip, a-la the standard Marlin 336's, Savage 99, et al. Because of a little bit of limited rotation...
