Being a bit budget conscious and having a darned time with all the terminology, and also being a BIG CZ fan. I would like this groups thoughts on the CZ Mallard 12g 28" as an entry into the shotgun world. I'm visiting some friend in CT next month that want to take me to their SC club for an...

I have a Rock Island Double stack .40 1911. The pistol seems based on the Para design. Issue. I am left handed. The ambidextrous safety (right side) digs in to the base of my thumb in a horribly painful way when fired. I rest my thumb on the safety and that is not going to change...

This is a question of what to expect and look for when choosing someone to refinish an older pistol. I recently purchased one of those older low priced CZ 83' that tend to show up in batches every once in a while. The components are in good shape and I am currently in the process of taking it...

First live practice session in three months. Due to an issue with my foot, I was benched this year. But I can't sit around much longer. Now that I have the correct size shoes, I went out for a short practice session and to try out some new stuff and test out my ammo builds. Talk about good...

Okay, Lets' see what we got here... I am an old man (54) but a beginner hunter. I am putting together my gear for my first guided Deer hunt this November in S. Carolina where I'm told the average range is 150 yds. I would like to know if these following number are reasonable. I own a...

I'm a beginner learning, and trying to understand using my rifle. Today, I took my Rem 783 30-06 and started my practice at 50 yds. The goal this weekend is to ensure I zeroed properly at 100 yds. and then to explore and test my hand at 200 yds. So I think this is nothing out of the ordinary...

I just purchased the Lee Power Quick Trim and the 30-30 QT Die. Is this how the case should look? It seems rather excessive to me.

I want to my EDC wear to be primarily IWB with a tucked shirt. This is what I would like to become proficient in my style of carry. As best as I can tell from the rules this should be acceptable. Am I correct in my reading of the rules? (1) The IWB holster is Kydex. So the holster top...

I just tried a few rounds of VV 3N38 with 165 FP per Vihtavouri's guide of 9.6 - 9.8 grains, OAL - 1.126. The data load produces +1250 fps and a pretty good fireball. I understand this means a lot of un-burned powder. Here is my question. What are the concerns with going under spec? And I...

Recently, I purchased an RIA M1911 A2 .40 S&W. This is a double stack that comes with a 15 round magazine. While talking with RIA support, it came out that this specific model is part of a limited run, a 'Special Edition' as it were. Might anyone know how many of this 'limited' run was...

While I have seen several discussions, I have not seen a direct answer. The 'why' is unimportant. What I am looking for is an answer to the hole on the Magpul MOE Stock (pic below at red arrow). I have heard that it is for paracord. My question is is there something that fits that hole...

Hello everyone, I was looking into changing my ar15 upper for a walk and stalk hog hunt. I was looking to something 30 caliber as I am lever gun happy. I read that a 450 bushmaster round has the oomph for a good heart/lung shot. And it might be fun to walk and stalk with an AR. Is this a...

While I continue to read through all these Reloading threads I'd like to put forth a few specific question to avoid beginner damage. My first loading attempts is .40 S&W for USPSA Limited Major. (later, when i know more, I'll work on 9mm for IDPA amd 9mm major) I have V. N320 Powder and...

After a long search I finally tracked down a Mossberg 464 SPX w/flash hider. This will eventually become my 'Gone-off-the-rails' Hog Hunter. I will post photos after I do the sight abomination (still working on red dot vs. mil-tac scope). The Suppressor will obviously take a while to set up. I...

I do not know if this is a stock made by a custom builder or is a stock manufacture. I'd appreciate any assistance with determining its source. I have removed the Mauser parts for cleaning. I assume the original owner's initials are the inlay. Full Photobucket Library

From what I'm reading, The CMP Rimfire Sporter targets are for 25 and 50 yd usage. On the CMP order form, i see listed two variants. I am guessing the 'Full Face' targets are for competition use and are self explanatory. What are the same named targets but listed as 'Reduced'...

I have been shooting for a little over a year and most of my practice has been DAO with a Sig P250. I also started USPSA competition about 3 months ago with a 1911 that feels quite comfortable. Recently, I started training with a CZ85 as I find the grip to be quite comfortable. However, I am...

This tale of what transpired this past week shows how a 52 year old man can still enjoys life like a 3 year old. I've spent the last year learning trigger control with my SIG P250 9mm FS. Being full-sized, I'm not impressed with gun as a EDC. So I come across a subcompact exchange kit and it...

Regent R350CR Review This past week I purchased my first Commander 1911. There were two things that first appealed to this burgeoning 1911 fan, The sleek matte black look stood out from the dozens of 1911 on the shelves. About $500 out-the-door. The clerk demonstration of trying to...
