I have a Ruger Old Model Super Blackhawk with the square trigger guard. It raps my knuckle pretty good unless I wrap my hand further around the grip than I usually do. I have been thinking about installing a Pachmayr grip set on it. I thought I had one for it- I inherited the revolver and a...

A friend asked me to look at his grandpa's old shotgun. The slide would move freely- too freely. It wasn't moving the bolt. I looked and the action bar that connects the forearm and bolt had broken in half. I ordered the part from Numrich but wanted to ask if anyone has taken one apart that...

Is there any problem using the Blackhills 300gr .44mag load in an older Super Blackhawk? I inherited this from my father, and he bought it in about '68. I don't want to take a chance on damaging the revolver. I don't think it will be a problem, but I want to check to be sure this load isn't...

I have been thinking about getting a target .22 rifle for informal match shooting and practice/fun shooting. I collect C&R rifles and shoot the Swede and Swiss rifle in vintage rifle matches, but have never had a good .22 rifle. I found a savage/anschutz Mark 12 and a Mark 10B...

A friend came across a Savage Mk2 .22 rifle. It is missing the bolt. Does anyone have a source for a replacement bolt? He called Savage and they said he could send it in and they would replace it for about $89.00. Thanks, Jim

I have been using ear plugs since the mid '80s. I recently used some cheap muffs I have after forgetting my plugs. They were actually more comfortable and quieter than my plugs, so i have decided to wear the muffs. I do need a better pair though. Are the electronic better than the...

I just received my Ultradot Matchdot yesterday and finally managed to look at it tonight. I noticed what I think is a flaw. The dot is not round. It has what looks like a "comet tail" coming from the right side of the dot. It is there on all 4 dot sizes and at all brightness levels. Has...

I saw in the latest CDNN flyer that they have Russian CM2 olympic style target rifle for $299.99. Military Gun Supply has Schultz and Larsen M70 .22 Target Rifles for the same price. Is there any difference in the quality/accuracy of these rifles? Is there enough of a difference to make...

I recently picked up a Remington M700 PSS and need to mount a scope on it. I have some Leupold QRW and PRW rings that I bought new a few years ago. They are for a Weaver style mount. I need a 1-piece mount and saw the Leupold Mark 4 at Cabela's. It has 20 MOA elevation so it should do well...

Last year I had a goal of breaking 800 shooting bullseye- I had been hovering around 650 when I started and was stuck just above 750 until late last year. I finally broke 800 with an 824. Last Monday I shot in our first bullseye league match with my Ruger MkII .22. I have not had time to...

I ran across one of these pistols in a pawn shop. It is a .22LR semi-auto with a bull barrel about 6". I knew about the Colt Woodsman and other Colts but I don't remember seeing one of these before? Are they an accurate target pistol or is that a marketing scheme to sell them? What are they...

I need some large pistol primers, 5000 if possible, either CCI or Winchester. Does anyone know of some on sale? I found a couple of thousand at Alpine Range (a local shop here in Ft.Worth) for $27.99 per thousand. The other prices I found were around $29.99 per thousand. I know it has...

I load .45acp for bullseye. I weighed a few of the 200gr LSWC bullets that I use and found, out of the 10 I weighed, a variation between 195.0gr to 196.6gr. Is that enough of a variation to be concerned about for accuracy? All load data I have ever read shows loads for a bullet weighing an...

Is it necessary to do anything to the bolt or bolt face on a Ruger MkII to improve accuracy? I used my old bolt in a VQ LLV Upper. Does the bolt even matter? I only ask this since I know truing the bolt face on rifles helps accuracy. Of course they also true up the rear of the receiver and lap...

I shoot falling plate and bullseye matches with my MkII and a SA 1911 .45acp. I have reddot scopes on both. I am happy with the C-More on my .45 and the Leupold Gilmore on my .22, but reading the Encyclopedia of Bullseye site article on redd ot scopes makes me wonder. They show the possible...

I have a Ruger MkII that I have been using for falling plate matches as well as bullseye. It had a 5.5" bull barrel, and I was never really happy with the accuracy. My dad has 3 and all shot much smaller groups. I recently installed a VQ LLV comped upper. I haven't had time to see what it is...

Has anyone tried this receiver/barrel on their Ruger MkII? I have a MkII with a 5.5" bull barrel. I use it for falling plates and bullseye. I am always looking for more accuracy, and this looks interesting. Dad bought a Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite Upper Receiver. It has a fluted aluminum...

My dad loaned me a pistol to use in the centerfire portion of the bullseye matches. I had been using my SA .45acp and he thought a lighter caliber would help my score. He had 2 1911 pistols in .38spcl and loaned me 1. It's a Colt that was in .38 Super and was modified, by someone who knew what...

I am looking for some options to look at for competition grips for my SA Loaded government model 1911 .45acp. I have Pachmeyer signature grips on it now, and while they do give me a decent grip for everyday shooting I find I am not getting a consistant grip. I shoot falling plates and...

I shot my Springfield Armory Loaded Stainless .45acp tonight. It has a C-More reddot sight on it, and use my handloads of a 200gr LSWC over 4.5gr WST. I still haven't broken 800 with it yet, but tonight I did shoot a 793. Sooo close! I saw a major improvement by not drinking anything with...
