    30-30 Ammo

    This is NOT a solicitation for purchase. My Dad passed away this year and I inherited a Winchester 94 lever action. After growing up with the privilege of being able to hunt with him from CA to TX, I have not gone out for nearly 20 years. Anyway, I went online today to get some 30-30 ammo...

    Looking for a Reasonably Priced Rifle - AK vs. AR

    Dark Knight - I thought that was the case, and never intended to convert it, but how do the "fully auto" shooting places in NV or all the YouTube videos with fully auto shooters, get away without a visit from the Feds? I have no idea...

    Looking for a Reasonably Priced Rifle - AK vs. AR

    thanks all and sorry for the horrible title (thanks Mods for changing it)...I should clear up and state that the $700 budget was for the rifle...I'll still have funds for ammo. But I had not heard that .223 is that much more expensive. Also, what I want to do with this purchase is fill out the...

    Looking for a Reasonably Priced Rifle - AK vs. AR

    I have begun reading all the helpful links posted nearby, and will continue to do so, but I wanted to get opinions as well. In choosing a purchase I factor in value for price, availability of ammo (.357 was my first handgun for this reason - shoots more than one type), and then stopping power...

    Anyone go to the Phoenix show on 4/19?

    Sorry if this is wrong place to ask, but I was wondering if anyone went to the Phoenix, AZ gun show this past weekend 4/19-20. And if you did, see any Kel-Tec p11? thanks

    Best CCW 9mm

    Thanks Thank you all for the suggestions - keep them coming. I have to say that picture of the PPS really made me want to try one. That looks "pocketable." I did like the feel of the G26, but there is no way that gun can fit in any of my pockets without feeling very obvious. And while I...

    Best CCW 9mm

    Rather than sift through old posts (which I did for the last 30 minutes) - I'll just post my question directly. I am looking for a 9mm CCW. I have shot the g26, and really liked it in my hand. I have done a little research over the past week, but I want some of your opinions. When...

    Gunsmith in SoCal?

    Anyone know a good gunsmith in the LA westside area? Right now I need work on an old S&W model 19-3. Beat up shooter. I also have a 1911, so those suggestions are helpful. Thanks

    Requesting Your Valued Opinions

    A little personal background ----- I have been using THR for awhile as I slowly get back into firearm ownership (Texan father taught me to hunt as a kid, but I spent my 18 - 33 years owning only my original "Sear's special" 20 gauge single shot - ha!). As I got back into this I have purchased...

    S&W m19-3 spring replacement

    The ongoing saga of restoring an aging m19 closer to new!!! FUN So, I previously posted and got such helpful info - thanks to you all. As background, this is an older “shooter” that’s seen some wear (and has three numbers engraved on one side and under the cylinder area). Pics here (Boss...

    S&W m19-3 misfires

    thank you all for the sound advice! I think it is the main spring strain screw. I seem to recall seeing it sticking out of the front strap when I took the grips off (out of curiosity - this is my first S&W). I'll check it again tonight. As far as end-shake goes - I'm confident that's...

    S&W m19-3 misfires

    Okay - round 2 (thanks for all the previous advice). Took the old m19-3 to the range last night, and it shoots great; however, it may have a minor problem. I out about 150 rounds through it. It had 3 misfires, all of which occured firing DA. I shot about 100 rounds SA, and 50 DA, and...

    Hammer firing pin replacement

    Not sure if that is the right terminology...anyway. I just bought a "shooter" S&W model 19-3. Did the revolver check and everything is very tight. Only one thing concerns me: the firing pin (which is actually an insert into the hammer) is a little loose and can rock up and down about...
