. The 32acp has a semi rimmed design of the cartridge. I see references to “rimlock” and folks saying they have experienced rim lock jams –or not. As far as I know most guns chambered in 32acp are small semi auto design. We do not need – or want – a rim on cartridges for this type of gun...

I saw a Remington 870 express in a shop that was seriously in need to help - or the scrap heap. The wood was ok, but all the metal was rusty. The last 6" of barrel was extra rusty as if it had been jammed into the mud and not cleaned. The are asking $100 for this rust bucket. If this...

I was thinking about getting a CW9 from Kahr for CCW. While browsing a gun shop I saw an S&W 908 used with 2 magazines. The gun looks very good. This being a used gun it can be sold at any time and the opportunity gone. Asking price is $375. So now I wonder, should I grab the used...

I'm putting a sight on my BPS 10 gauge shotgun. I want this for coyote, turkey, and possibly geese. In trying to reach max range with a buckshot load for coyote. I want to be able to precisely center the pattern on the target. I'm hoping for 50+ yards with this combo. I know the game may...

I'm looking at the Baliistic products loading manual for the 10 gauge. I want a load for coyote hunting that will give me the max range for a shotgun (50+ yards)?. It seems I can load "lite" 1.5 oz loads at 1500 fps or heavy loads at 1250 fps. I am going to try nickle plated "F" shot in this...

Winchester M42. I have a new grandson. I was thinking about setting up a college fund for the little guy and debating how to fund it. One option is to sell my Winchester M42 410 and put that money into the fund. I know Win M42’s seem to be going up in value, but which would make the...

Reading a previous thread about Knoxx stocks - thread is now closed - they were talking about cheek slap. When I first got my stock and was sighting in slugs I got Whapped bad. I haven't been hit like that since a high school fight! At home I looked at the gun and realized that I still...

I did a walkthrough of the Yankee Lady today, a B 17G. I was surprised by several things. The waist gunners had optical-heads up sights. Does anyone know about them? Are they like our modern Red dot sights? They had adjustments for altitude, was this to compensate for bullet drop at...

Campground walk to the bathroom – at night. My tender half wants to go camping, but is concerned about a midnight walk to the necessary room. Note; this is tent camping – not RV parking. I say” we can take the 12 gauge and you can carry it back and forth” She “no way. I would...

I have a Hastings rifled barrel on my Rem. Express 12 gauge. Older eyes are having a tough time making out the front sight in dim light. (the rear sights not so clear either). I handled a shotgun at a dealers with Williams "firesight's" and thought "this is the answer". Calling Williams...

Reading another thread Touch a minor while lecturing them, become a sex offender? I wanted to comment in general without joining the general bashing. The US of America has one of the highest prison populations of any country. Many say the recent growth is because of the permissiveness and...

I just picked up a Taurus 45 ACP revolver- model 455 and started shooting it. 45 ball worked ok but when I tried WW 45 hollow points I ran into trouble. It seems some of the rounds would seat fully and others have about 1/8 “ sticking out. As I played with my dial chrono looking for the reason...

I’m experimenting with 32 loads for my wife’s Ruger 32. As I go into light loads, “cowboy†loads, I run into 2 problems. I tried to load a wadcutter bullet in a 32 mag case but the Lee die set would not seat the wadcutter flush with the mouth of the case. I seated the bullet as deep...

I’ve been around long enough to start attending funerals of friends that died of “natural†causes. I have purchased a gun from each of the 2 estates that I knew was the bedroom gun for my friends. When I shot each of the 2 revolvers I found they had problems. The Smith 27 had a bent...
