    Would you remove a mag safety from a collector gun?

    Hi all, So I am looking at buying a couple of Sauer 38h pistols (both very good condition). I am a big fan of the design in general and would be buying these mainly as collection pieces but also as shooters and occasional carry guns. The only hitch is that I don't use pistols with magazine...

    Lee turret or hornady progressive

    Hi all, hoping you could give me some advice on a press purchase. I just started going to grad school this fall and am living 200 miles away from my main reloading setup. I still go back about once or twice a month but am often too busy to do much reloading. I have a single stage press at my...

    Styrka optics. Any experience?

    I was on the lookout last week for one of the Vortex Sparc II red dots to mount a new Kel Tec SU-16 but midway was out of them as were the two gun shops that I checked. The owner of the second shop recommended a similar red dot made by a company called Styrka. I decided I'd try it out, so...

    H4895 Reduced load AR 15

    Hi all, I'm wondering of any of you have tried reduced loads of H4895 in a 223 AR and what results you got accuracy and function wise. I have my AR set up with an 18" barrel, mid length gas system, and a JP adjustable gas block. It is tuned to just barely run with bulk pack remington. I...

    Powder for gentle 9mm loads

    Hi all, I am planning to work up a gentle 9mm load that I can use in a variety of pistols, mainly for old mil-surp pistols for target shooting. Do you all have a recommendation for a powder that would give good case fill and accuracy while also running at the lower end of the pressure scale? I...

    Cut down m14 barrel

    Hi all, So today at the Wheaton gun show I saw a box on random gun parts and mags for a dollar a piece and I picked up a part out of curiosity that I was hoping to find a use for. It looks like an M14 barrel that someone cut down to about 8.5" overall. The chamber and throat area look fine...

    Norwegian Krag Identification

    Hey all, I could use some help identifying a rifle. I just bought a Norwegian Krag Jorgensen. Its been sporterized but the gun itself and the markings on the receiver are still in good condition. It has the Kongsberg stamp and both 1897 and 1907 on the receiver. I can't find any serial number...

    Picatinny mount not fiiting rail

    Hey all, So a while ago I mounted one of the brass stacker scout mounts on my mosin nagant. Installation was easy and the mount looks great, but today I tried to mount a scope to it and I found that the rail was about a millimeter or two too wide for the rings to slide on to it. I am hesitant...

    Hey all, I am heading to New Zealand in a couple of months and i figured it would be a travesty if i were to go and not hunt at some point. So as part of the planning for a possible hunting trip I am trying to figure out what would be the best way to bring a gun over. New Zealand has a...

    National FOID?, gun law idea

    Hey all I wanted to know what you think of an idea that I have been thinking about for a while. I think that it is time for a national set of comprehensive gun laws to be adopted to replace most state gun laws as well as the relevant federal laws. I also think that the best way to make this...

    ruger 30 carbine to 32acp conversion

    Hey all, I am running an idea through my head and i was looking to get your opinion. Basically, would it be possible to get a super blackhawk cylinder chambered in 32 acp and have that fitted to a blackhawk in 30 carbine? This would just be so you could use a quieter and cheaper round for...

    Hi all, Ive been looking into the possibility of constructing a SBR from a Henry Mares Leg in 44. All of this be be compliant with NFA regulations of course.

    OK so basically I am looking at buying a Ruger Redhawk that has come up for sale in my area. Normally if someone asked me about the idea of a 44 as a first handgun I would laugh in their faces but there are some circumstances that are making it seem like a good idea. First, although this would...

    bottom barrelled top break revolver

    hey all, im wondering what you guys think of an idea i had. what about a top break revolver that fired out of the bottom chamber as in the Rhino or Mateba (but top break). I would think that since the stress put on the action would be closer to the hinge it would be stronger than top breaks...
