Could someone please explain the difference(s) between the Model 53 and the Model 92.

Has anyone checked the Starline site recently? I do it sporadically. Yesterday, they only showed three calibers that were readily available...none of which I could use. If I remember correctly, previous posts here inferred Starline was cranking up production. Anyone have any knowledge of what...

In the past 60 or so years, I have managed to purchase five Winchesters in 25-20, along with a couple Remington pumps in that caliber. Current advice is to form the 25-20 from 32-20. Now I understand the 32-20 is also gone. I do have a 92 Win that someone converted to .256 WM, which I can form...

I recently acquired a 38-40 '92 Winchester with a button magazine. Other than owner desire, is there any real rationale for a short tube?

Has anyone purchased any brass from Starline recently. I checked online this afternoon. Of the half dozen I checked, all were not available. While I admit some of the calibers were not mainstream, but even the 357 was "back-ordered".

I noticed a few days ago that Lock, Stock, and Barrel hasn't been advertising on GB. There are also a couple other vendors I occasionally checked haven't been seen either. What could the reason be?

I keep a spreadsheet listing my rifles and handguns by manufacturer, serial number, model, caliber, and a brief description. I do it for my information and identification should there be a theft/loss. etc I know how many colts, S&Ws, etc I own, if asked. . I list my Contender frames only, not...

I inherited an old Colt New Service in .455 Eley. Checking the archives I found one discussion from 2010 that left me more confused than I was before I read it. Can I just use .45 LC brass? What bullet (diameter & weight) can I safely use?

Can anyone comment on whether or not a rifle barrel liner affects the value of an antique rifle? I recently purchased an 1892 Winchester from GB and upon delivery I found the barrel was relined. I know this isn't a bzillion dollar rifle but I have mixed thoughts. On one hand it is an...

I have had my eye on a modern-day Winchester '94 in 38-55. Since I reload, I checked with Starline for brass and I learned there are two lengths available. How do I determine which length to buy?

I have been thinking about picking up a 38-55. I noted that cartridge is available in the Henry, cheaper than the Winchesters. What are the feelings about the popularity and utility of the cartridge?

I'm looking for a laser for my Sig 365. I came up with one, Crimson Trace LG-422, that appears to be easy to install and not as obtrusive as I've seen on other guns. Anyone have this model or another model? If so, how has your experience been?

This area has probably been previously discussed, but there were 296 pages in the archives when I searched for "pocket carry" . I am in the process of changing my pocket carry gun from a S&W 442 to a Sig 365, with a manual safety. In the service we carried 1911s cocked and locked, holstered. I...

I ordered 500 bullets for my .30 Luger a month or more ago from Penn. I received a "Thank you for your order" soon after. A few days ago I sent an inquiry to the "President" of Penn. No answer, no bullets. Anyone else had problems with them?

I have a Uberti Schofield #3 in .44 Russian. My searches for loadings for a 200gr RNFP Missouri lead bullet have led me to loads all over the place. In addition, the reports I found seldom, if ever, mention the gun being used. Being a middle of the road reloader, I'd like to hear about loads...

I recently bought a Luger in .30 Luger. My other Luger is stamped "1920" and it's a 9mm. This new one isn't stamped with a date. Is there any way to date the newer one by the serial number?

I've been cleaning my guns for over 60 years, but this one has me stumped. It's an old Remington 25 pump in 32-20, circa 1923, that I've had for years but I don't remember the last time I fired it, or if I ever have. I've used two different products, JB bore cleaner, Shooters Choice lead...

I'm in the process of buying an old Luger in the new to me 7.65X21 or .30 Luger. Surprisingly, Starline had the brass and I picked a set of dies. My quandary is finding bullets.It's my understanding the original recipe used a 93gr jacketed bullet. Lyman's 50th only shows one jacketed 85gr, round...

It suddenly occurred to me that today's inflated gun and ammunition prices do have a positive side. I now feel so much better now about the items I may have overpaid a wee bit too much in the past. At the current prices, I would be the low bidder/buyer!

Is anyone reloading 9mm for the C96? If so, what weigh bullets are you using, and which powder and weight?
