They seem to be a chain. They opened one real close to me and I have yet to check it out. Based on my endless emails from them they appear to be a gun shop with a range. They get about $25 an hour for range time but they offer a few membership options based on a monthly membership. This is the...

Years ago a friend needed money so I bought this gun. I planned to sell it but after shooting it I grew fond of this little gun. Hell I am anything 1911 anyway. My wife is a cancer patient and like many one step forward and two back. Kathy was in rehab about 4 years ago so it was myself...

My friend and neighbor was at a local mall today. Beachwood Mall in the Cleveland suburbs. This mall has had problems with carjackings and of course all the doors have tiny little No Gun stickers. My friend was not carrying a gun. He has his CHL License but was not carrying a gun. He and his...

So the daughter calls me and informs me she needs some help. Her husband wants a rifle. Well "a rifle" is not very specific. Little details like action type and cartridge sort of come to mind. Not to even mention several other picky details. So yesterday I get my Bass Pro / Cabela's flier and I...

Got an email from Midway for .223 NATO Green Tip Penetrator. They are looking at something like $0.82 a round. IMI Ammunition 5.56x45mm NATO 62 Grain M855 SS109 Penetrator Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail While there is no way I'll pay that I guess someone will pay $978 for a 1200 round crate. Just...

My wife left the latest Cabela's / Bass Pro flier laying out. I generally toss these things out but decided to give it a look. November 21st through 25th they have a sale running which includes the Browning BL-22 GR1 22 LR caliber lever gun. My last actual new rifle purchase was a nice little CZ...

The CCW laws in Ohio have changed many times since Ohio began permitting CCW. The latest change I see as good but with a few mixed feelings. A simple Google of Ohio CCW Veterans will get about a dozen hits with this being just an example of the changes. There is much more to it. Not only are...

This story just ran on my evening news and in the interest of gun safety along with some humor tossed in I figured I would share it. This is the story and can you imagine? The guy apparently did well with his intention, maybe not too bright but at least was looking to secure a gun from...

Just in passing I got a Cabela's Flyer in the mail and they are having a sale on The Heritage Arms Rough Rider through November 22, 2017. The combo revolver with a 22 LR and 22 Mag cylinder is selling for $139.99 which is not a bad deal. While the gun is not a S&W Model 17, Ruger Single Six or a...

Have a question that maybe a Colt Guru could help with. While not an avid collector of Colt Series 70 Government models I have several. The question came up elsewhere as to which magazine would be correct? Below are a few examples: I want to recall the Gold Cup guns had the rempant...

Beautiful morning so I decided to load the truck and head for the range. My outdoor range is Kelbly's located in North Lawrence, Ohio. As I approached the range looking to my left I asked myself "where the heck did a hundred or so RVs come from? I forgot the Super Shoot takes place every year at...

Came upon a S&W Model 17-2 Serial Number K789408. Traveling for the Holidays and believe one that I already have is a Model 17 No Dash #K336897 a much earlier gun and I think it is a 4". The one I just grabbed is a 6" and I "think" the one at home is a 4". Any idea on the date for this Model...

This thread which was closed for good reason got me thinking. While I am not a sword or knife type I actually have a sword long forgotten. I actually still have my Marine Corps NCO sword with the scabbard. Last time it was used was several years ago when a Marine friend got married I loaned the...

So much for decades of resisting a new caliber in my life. Yesterday I came upon a Colt MK IV Series 70 Government chambered in 38 Super which being a Series 70 type I couldn't say no to. The gun was real nice and the price was real nice, what can I say? Already have dies on order and 500...

Before this thread got closed, for obvious reasons, a few members mentioned die storage or more like the packaging which our loading dies come in. Lee dies for example boast the round red plastic packaging and RCBS the flatter rectangular green or grey boxes designed to hold three dies. Don't...

My neighbor brought me a Remington 550-1 literally in a bag with barrel and stock poking out. While over the years I have seen a few I never saw one up close and personal. Seems a friend of his loaned the rifle to his son and to say this rifle was abused would be an understatement. Plenty of...

I was going to include this in the Bud's 180 Day Layaway thread but thought better of it. Since it isn't Bud's and it isn't Layaway. Got an invitation in the mail the other day from Cabela's for an after hours party at the Columbus, Ohio location. Having family down in Columbus we do shop...

I know several users here are using QuickLoad software and I have done some reading on the software. I did check out a few reviews including QuickLOAD Review at 6mm BR. I can appreciate that much ballistic information can be calculated using readily available formulas. What has me curious is...

Yesterday I ended up with a S&W Model 17. Traveling so hard to post an image but here is what it seems to be: S&W Model 17 (no dash) Serial Number: k336897 Curious as to the year of manufacture? The gun shows normal wear looks to have been well maintained. The lockup is very good from...

The following information is aimed at the new hand loader, the individual just getting started in rolling their own ammunition themselves. However, any input and added information from the well seasoned hand loader is most welcome and appreciated. There currently exist a plethora of case gauges...
