    "Winchester 231" on Gun Store Shelf

    Along with HP-38, both made in Kansas plant of course. Bunch of other "Winchester" powders on shelf too. Guess Hodgen figured they could trade on the name. All same price $26.95 or thereabouts. Bought 1000 CCI large pistol primers....$32.95! Prices gone up a lot since I bought my last ones! :)

    Is Shooters Choice Smelly?

    Starting to shoot a lot of lead in my pistols and want to try something different. However, I clean in the house and prefer to use stuff not so smelly. Have never used Shooters Choice Lead Remover.

    New Walthers PPQ 45 ACP

    Won't go into details other than to say I can shoot this one more accurate than any others I have. Ran thru half box of Rem's and box of my light reloads. It gobbled them all and made nice tight groups when I did it right. As others have reported, it has very nice, smooth, trigger. Factory...

    Anyone Load 100gr for 9mm?

    I have a lot of 100 RNFP plated bullets that I bought for 380 loading, which i don't do much of anymore, and wondering if they might be used for 9mm plinking. Powder on hand is Clay and Bullseye. My Lymans loading book has nothing for Clays; for that matter, nothing for 100 grain bullets...

    Looking to Research Rem-Rand 1911A1

    I have an early model and would like to try to research where it would have been sent after it was made in 1943. I'm guessing the records are vague or nonexistent, but would like to pursue it to see what can be found. Ideas, suggestions?

    What Date is my Lt-20?

    Recently got a used Rem 1100 LT-20, 20ga, Magnum, blued, nice wood, with KE on barrel. I know K=may, but E was used in 1936, 1958, 1984 and 2010. Guessing by nice cond of mine that it was '84 or '10, but which? Serial nr is N5546++U.

    Sight Pusher?

    Won't this pusher also work on the rear of 1911 type guns? It says its a "front sight" pusher. If not, do any of you have any recommendations for other products that might work on both front and rear dovetailed 1911's...

    SIG Ultra Lightweight 45

    Bought this one used today and it tested out fine with a mixed type of my reloads. It has a very small scratch on the black alloy frame and I'm wondering if the Birchwood Casey Aluminum Blacking solution would work? Has anyone used it?

    Danged Berdan Primers

    Decided to load some 9mm nickle today and about the 4th one, the decapper pin bent! Sorted through about 250 of the cases and about 25 or so were Berdan. Took the pin out of my 380 set and continued loading. Also order 3 spares from Ebay. Don't recall who I got these from but I do...

    Traded for a Rem 870..What do I have?

    I know very little about shotguns but a friend traded me this one that he said he got from a police officer. I'd like to know how old it is, what kind of barrel (modified, open, ect), and approx value. Barrel appears to 20". Right side receiver says "Remington Wingmaster 870" with serial nr...

    Does this Colt Serial Nr tell me anything?

    Talked with a guy I know who said he has a Colt Commander MK IV serial FA038**E, blued in excellent condition, with white grips, no box. I'm going to look at it next week to discuss a trade. I'm guessing that its a Series 80, but does that serial provide any more info, and ballpark...

    Snug 1911 OWB Holster?

    I'd like a 1911 compact/commander size OWB holster that holds the grip up snug against my body. FWIW, I carry a Sig C3 4" and Colt New Agent 3 1/2". My current holster, made locally, has a loop on each end and does a fairly good job except the grip is not as snug as I'd like. Any...

    How can I smooth out a sharp hammer?

    Had not shot my S&W Mod15 for several years but got it out the other day and really enjoyed shooting it. Its renewed my interest in wheel guns again after shooting only auto's for a good while. One issue that bothered me was the knurled? hammer hurting my thumb when cocking it. Its a case...
