When my father died some dozen years ago, I let my brother have almost all his small gun collection instead of taking half as our mother offered. I selected one S&W and let my brother have the rest since he was gun poor. The collection included my grandfather's Springfield trapdoor .45-70...

I've reloaded other calibers but I'm going to start loading .44-40 in the near future. Since it's said to be more challenging to load, does anyone have any particular guidance or tips to share on reloading .44-40? Thanks, Larry

The .32 H&R magnum seems like it might be a good small game cartridge. Has anyone hunted with a .32 H&R magnum? What results did you have? Thanks, Larry

I want to plug the ports in a stainless steel revolver barrel. My plan is to use J-B Weld to plug the ports leaving a little space above the bore to keep the rifling clear. Although I'm using J-B Weld because of it's adhesion and high temperature characteristics, I've got some concerns...

How many attackers do you anticipate? Ideally we won't have to defend ourselves with our guns but if we do, how many non-terrorist attackers will there be? In other words - How many bad guys work together in your area? My immediate neighborhood is peaceful and secure so the most likely...

re: MCA Chamber Adpaters I'm wondering about the accuracy of .32 ACP or .32 H&R adapters in .30-30 or .308. If the adapters are worthwhile, then I can easily use my .30-30 Contender (pistol or carbine) or planned NEF .308 for small game (or even plinking) without changing barrels in the...
