    10/22 scope

    I finally got ahold of the stainless heavy barrel/laminated stock 10/22 that I have wanted for what? 25 years? I have a Leupold 3.5x10 in the safe. Too much scope for something that will spend most of its life in the safe, with occasional forays to the 50 (and maybe 100) yard ranges. But it...

    H&R .32 top break issues

    I sort of "inherited" this old .32 H&R top break. It has been sitting for perhaps 20-30 years. First I shot a bunch of lube everywhere I could. Opens and closes, and ejector function correctly. Attempting to cock the hammer, it goes back and locks there. Actuating the trigger (it's already...

    Wooden primer storage box sources?

    I was just reading about primer storage, and saw some pics of nice, solid 1" thick wood boxes. I suppose I could build one, but my carpentry skills are sub-standard, so I would prefer to buy one is they are available. Not having any luck with google searching. Anyone finding one with good...

    Researching first suppressor...questions.

    Okay, I finally got the Trust done (after about three years of vacillating/procrastinating). Now I am doing some more research. --Primary use for the suppressor will be on an SBR .300 Blackout, running sub-sonic loads. --I am a handloader and plan on rolling my own. Specifically, the...

    S&W K-frame trigger/hammer problem

    Okay, I did a search and could not find anyone else with this problem. Revolver is a Brinks trade-in M64-5 DAO (looks like it was made by S&W that way, but I'm not 100% on that). I bought it recently (used, obviously). Sometimes, stroking the trigger does not cause the hammer to rise and...

    Okay, I bought a supply of brass, and I bought the HF chop saw. Now, I have seen about six different jigs for sale. Which one do you use, and what is your experience with it? All recommendations and input are welcomed.

    Ruger SR9

    Took a new shooter to the range Thursday evening. Her hubby had bought her a Ruger SR9, and it was my first chance to see/fire one. She also brought a Ruger MkI (another of his guns) which was so filthy/fouled that the range officer who checked us in recommended that she not use it. I...

    1911 question

    Are the hammer, sear and safety interchangeable between a pre-Series 80 type 1911 Kimber (no firing pin safety) and a Swartz-safety-equipped (Series II) Kimber? I am aware that installed fire control parts work as a set, and plan on swapping all parts as a set. Is this safe to do? That...

    45 LC (stupid newbie) question

    Do I need another set of dies to reload 45 Colt, or can I use 45 acp dies, as one can use the same dies to reload 38/357 SPL, or 44 SPL/44Mag? Thank you, Rich

    crusty cases

    I just bought some 30.06 cases..about 600 of them. The price was right, but when I received them I am prety sure that the 06 part refers to their vintage. This is someone's great grandaddy's WWI brass. I've seen crusty bras, but this is tarnished beyond belief. I put 50 rounds in my...

    AR-15/ AR-10 parts interchangeability

    Are "furniture" parts interchangeable between the two? Looks as if the handguards, stock and pistol grip are should be identical, but... The barrel diameter could be an issue depending, on the design of the handguards. Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks, Rich

    CCW with a DWI on your record in CT?

    No, not me. I'm not leaving Texas. :) I'm doing research for a friend. I looked at handgunlaw.us but found zero. Looked on packing.org and found zero. Is a DWI a disqualifier for CT CCW? If so, for how many years after the DWI? Thank you, oh wise and well-informed THRers.

    Powder scale

    What do you use? Just trying to get started here. Cheaper Than Dirt advertises a ~$40 digital scale, but it is discontinued :mad: The sell a ~$375 digital scale...yeah, that's gonna happen. Not. What do I really need, accuracy wise? Planning on reloading handgun cartridges...

    4473s/Records retention/BATFE

    How long do FFLs have to keep 4473s? How about if a Gun Shop gone out of business? What are the laws regarding BATFE keeping records from a shut-down gun store/dealer?

    Where do I get dessicant?

    Especially the small/medium (maybe 6-12 oz) packages, in brown paper, that can be thrown in the oven and re-used? We used to see them in the military inside preserved engine cans and so on...haven't seen them in years. I'd like to throw one in each ammo can for long-term indoor storage...

    60 minutes interview with Condi Rice tonight

    Not a full-on hack job, although the interviewer was more than occasionally biased and antagonistic. In spite of that, Condi showed restraint and true class. I think she acquitted herself quite well. I do not know all that much about her, but that interview did absolutely no harm to my...

    "Gratitude" from N.O. survivors--disturbing

    (Forwarded to me by a co-worker) WOW. This is just a little of what is happening in the Peoples Republic of New Orleans. How is This for Gratitude? Here's a little information you won't read in the papers. I can only relate what was told to me by my daughter who works for AA (American...

    Springfield 1915 (Stevens?) 16 gauge double --stock removal/repair

    Hi y'all: Bought a 16 gauge Springfield (1915, Chicopee, Mass) double side by side at the gun show. Most of the blue is gone, stock is cracked but the price was right ($100) and the seller says its a good shooter. I was looking for a replacement stock but have had no luck. After looking at...
