    T/C Contender barrel wont fit frame

    I recently bought a used T/C 32 H&R Contender barrel off an ebay estate sale, but it will not fit onto my frame. Having some barrels be a tight fit is nothing unusual for the Encore and Contender, but this one doesn't quite line up and the pin won't go in. The frame is a G1 frame. I assume that...

    ATN THOR 4 640 battery mods or replacements?

    A local pawn shop has put a ATN ThOR 4 640 thermal scope on clearance for $1,200. Which is an insanely good price for a thermal scope like this. My one problem is the internal battery. With no way to replace it myself, the scope will eventually become useless and I don't want to rely on...

    Primer Cratering in T/C Encore. Solution?

    So I have a T/C Encore that craters primers on rifle pressure 223 loads. The primers end up looking like this, Since this is a break-action gun, this binds up the gun and causes the action to be difficult to open. Obviously the cratering isn't as "nice" as the picture once I break the gun...

    Lucky pawn shop find, Ruger PC-40 Takedown at PC-9 price.

    I'm a huge fan of the Ruger PC carbines. Both the old models and the new models. I have one of each of the old models, 9mm and 40 S&W. I have numerous of the new Takedown models in 9mm, but I missed out on the 40 S&W Takedown during the short time it was produced. I've been keeping an eye out...

    Where to get a custom picatinny rail made?

    I have a Savage Mark II FV-SR 22 LR that I want to setup so that I can put my clip-on night vision in front of the scope for nighttime shooting. The problem is getting a picatinny rail long enough for both a scope and my NVD. I could go the simple route and just get a 10"-12" cantilever rail...

    Need help mounting a scout scope on a E. Arthur Brown 97D

    I have an E. Arthur Brown 97D falling block rifle in 375 Winchester that I want to mount a Leupold VX-II 1.5-4x28mm scope to. This is an intermediate eye relief scope. The scope rail is not long enough to mount the scope to in the traditional way. I figure my options are to find 1" scope rings...

    Will people hate me if I do this to a somewhat rare Ruger No.1?

    I'm looking at a Ruger No.1 in 357 Magnum that was an overrun of the California Highway Patrol Limited Edition in the 1980s. It doesn't have the stamp that the "real" limited edition guns have. The gun does come with the original box and papers. Would I be doing a bad thing if I bought it and...

    Wildcat idea: 510 Whisper alternative using 500 Auto Max vs 50 AE. Thoughts?

    I figured I'd brainstorm here before I bothered the nice people at SSK with my ideas. I've liked the idea of a 510 Whisper, but it has always been so cost prohibitive. Even today, cases are made by cutting down 338 Lapua cases. Surely there is a cheaper alternative. I would mainly shoot cast...

    When staff mark a used gun for new gun price... from 1990.

    Sooooo, went to the local Scheels today intending to check and see what powder they had available. Went over to the used gun section just to peek at what was there and I find a late production Winchester 94 Ranger in 30-30... With a Leupould1.5-4x20 scope on it... For $599?! *Checks to make...

    Value of a Bauska BBK-02 Square Bridge Magnum Action

    Cleaning my basement and came across a Bauska BBK-02 Square Bridge Magnum Action that I bought years ago at an auction with a laminated stock. I had originally thought about making a 338 Lapua rifle or a 510 Whisper, but I am now thinking I should sell it to fund other projects. The question...

    Browning A-Bolt action lengths

    I purchased a bare Browning A-Bolt action setup for .223. I went and bought what was claimed to be a short action Browning A-Bolt synthetic stock off Gunbroker. The action fits, but I find that the forward action screw is about half an inch too far forward. Inside the stock it says, "BROWNING...

    Help me build a .223 Browning A-Bolt

    So I have traded my way into a blued Browning A-Bolt action. It is setup for .223. SN is 08974MRXXX. I would like advice on who would be the one to buy a barrel from? Preferably somewhere where they can install it as well. Then I can have any stock fitting done locally. Not looking for absolute...

    What to build with a Browning Short A-Bolt Action?

    So a shop I frequent has a Browning Short A-Bolt Action for sale. (Ignore the label saying it's an X-Bolt.) I'm trying to think of something to do with it that doesn't cover something I already have. Also perhaps find out who can actually put such a thing together. A fast twist .223. Perhaps a...

    Recomend me a Marlin 39A gunsmith

    I have a mid 1950s Marlin 39A that will not feed properly. I took it to my friend, who is a gunsmith, to see if it was something simple. This was a couple years ago, but I believe he said that the lifter is worn and needs replacing. The part in question was impossible to find and required...

    Backed out primers in 22 Hornet. Should I care?

    So I made some 40 grain 22 Hornet loads with a small pistol primer and about 12.1 grains of Lil'Gun using my Lee AutoDisk. I zip out to the range and test them out. I get about 2,550 fps out of my Encore SBR with them. Everything fires just fine, but the primers on all of the cases are backed...

    Pepper ball gun recommendations for an elderly woman

    I have an elderly acquaintance who I have taken out shooting several times. They can shoot a rifle just fine from a rest. The problem is her hand strength and arthritis. It makes even a 22 pistol or revolver not really an option for her. She knows this, but still wants something for personal...

    Extended receiver rail for Ruger American short action, 7.62x39

    I have a Ruger American (short action) in 7.62x39. I want to put a red dot and BUIS on it. The problem is that the rail on the receiver is not long enough to accomplish this. I don't want to use bolt-on extensions because then I need to raise the red dot. I've looked around and come up blank...

    358 Winchester 10.5" SBR load ideas?

    I picked up a Gary Reeder Ultimate Encore barrel in 358 Winchester. It's roughly 10.5" of barrel and 2" of muzzle brake. Put it on my SBR Encore frame and I have a handy little SBR with a 1.5-5x20 Leopold on top. The question I have is what sort of loads to use to get the most out of this...

    Old school Ruger Police Service-Six race gun, 38 Special

    Well I've come across something unique and oddball. Therefore I bought it. A Ruger Police Service-Six race gun in 38 Special. Clearly for 1980s PPC, a person today would easily mistake the barrel for an integral suppressor. The double action is about as good as other guns single action...

    Military marksman plaque found in a pile of dirt?

    Someone in one of the Telegram groups I belong to found this in a pile of dirt today that was dug up from under the road. The Military marksman symbol makes us think it's something shooting related, but we are not sure. Can anyone help us figure out what it is and when it is from? I have...
