I've had this scope pretty much forever. I think it came with my Marlin model 99 when my dad bought it for me in 1961 or so. I think it mounts on 3/8 inch dovetail mounts. It's been stored all these years in the box. I never installed it. Now, I have a nice little Ruger American Rimfire...

Got a new 22LR Ruger American Rimfire with iron sights and threaded barrel with an Advanced Armaments Pilot II suppressor installed. I've been trying to figure out these iron sights. The rifle shoots dead correct laterally, but at ~ 20 yards, it is consistently shooting about four inches low...

I went to the NRA website to find out about a life membership, and the first page at I see at the NRA website quoted $1500. No links to discounts, no discussion. Ouch! I did a search and I found another web page, allegedly on the NRA website, offering the membership for $600. I'm suspicious as...

I finally got my 22lr suppressor and I can finally shoot my M&P22 and Ruger American Rimfire in my backyard without upsetting the neighbors. I'd kind of like to have some way of reclaiming the lead. All I'll be shooting is low velocity and subsonic 22lr, probably at a distance of no more than...

For some things, I'm left handed, and for others, I'm right handed. I'm clearly more comfortable with a handgun in my right hand though. Lately, I've been making a concerted effort to drop an old habit I have of closing my left eye when shooting a handgun. Now, when I level a pistol on a...

In addition to heat and cold, moisture can contribute to smokeless powder deterioration. I keep my powder sealed in the containers it came in, and I keep it in a basement where the temperature is pretty steady, but it can get pretty humid down there. Some seldom used powders could stay there for...

Edit: After investigating this further, I see that I don't need my existing Lee powder through dies to use a Hornady Lock-n-Load powder measure on a Lee press. I just need a PTX powder through adapter for each bulled diameter I load... not really that expensive for each different caliber...

I am trying to get the paperwork together to buy a silencer as an individual. I obtained the appropriate fingerprint cards and took them to the county sheriff's office to get fingerprinted. The card has a box for "employer and address" right below the date and signature of the person taking...

If you get tired of spilled primers when you try to insert the primer tray in the primer feed, you might like this little trick. Drill a hole sideways through the neck of the primer tray and insert a piece of wire in the hole. It holds the primers in until you're ready for them, then just pull...

Will any progressive press dispense a powder charge if there's no case underneath to take it? Will any progressive press feed a primer if there's no case there to take it? In other words, will it cause problems if you cycle the ram with no cases in any of the stations? Different with different...

I only reload pistol ammo, and I use the Lee Standard Auto Disk powder measure with the adjustable charge bar for all my reloading. The setup works very well for powders like W231 and Universal, but I never have been able to get it to consistently meter Unique in small quantities. When the...

Almost all the semi-auto 40's I've seen have some of the chamber cut away to form the feed ramp. Some have more some have less. My Kahr PM40 and 40 S&W Shield both have some chamber cut away here. Not as much as in the older 40 Glocks I've seen, but some nonetheless. I noticed a "Glock" style...

I'm looking at some 380 load data that calls for an OAL that yields .190 seating depth. I've put some rounds together to these dimensions, and it takes almost no pressure on the press to seat the bullets to that depth. The cases are properly sized, and flared minimally. 9mm rounds usually seat...

(I'm talking about auto pistol loads here.) I never have the exact bullet specified in a load listing. I always try to find a load that is as close as possible, as far as weight, jacket type, etc., and work from that, but almost always, the bullet dimensions are different. I try to...

Gamaliel took my back order and promised delivery... eventually. Well, after over two months, they kept their promise. 5000 CCI small pistol primers are on their way to me! I'm going shooting again!

I just got a flyer from CIA. They are plugging some new ammo, called Red Army Standard. Available in 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r, steel cased. "New Ammunition, Surplus Prices." No prices listed. "Call for pricing." I can guess it's Russian ammo. Re-labeled Tula or Wolf, maybe. I can also guess I'm not...

The Lee Auto-Disk Powder Measure (and the Auto Disk Pro too) both come with a stiff spring that pulls the disk back under the hopper after operation. That's the intended setup for using the measure on a single stage or a turret press. I see that there is a different actuating arm/lever that is...

I got the pistol about a year ago. A S&W model 29-3. I have plenty of large pistol primers, and even some large magnum pistol primers too. I have a decent amount 231, Universal, and Unique. I'll buy some other powder if I have to, but I'd like to make do with these for a while. I don't have much...

I'm trying to work up a load, and I was looking at the data in two of my load manuals. Both manuals provide load data for the exact same bullet, at the exact same OL, but the powder charges differ significantly. I'm looking at a 40 S&W 165 gr. bullet. The bullet used in both manuals is a Speer...
