    Browning Citori comb dimensions 1970.

    Anyone here have a Browning Citori 20 ga. built around 1971. I'm looking for the drop at comb and heel for a factory stock. I can't measure it and I don't think the seller knows how to do that or he would have listed it. Looks like a field shotgun that was common at that time. My guess is 1 1/2...

    Do I pay sales tax in both states?

    I'm in WA which is a Destination Based tax state. That means I pay the tax on a firearm when I transfer it here. My FFL has to collect it by law. I want to buy a firearm from an FFL in MO. MO is an 0rigin Based tax state. That means the seller has to collect the tax for MO. As I read it I'm...

    Recoil comparison 12 ga. v 45-70

    Just curious so I thought I would get some opinions. I've moved a lot of lead down range using many types of 12 ga shotguns but never owned or even shot a 45-70. Just for the sake of comparison lets use a 7.5 lb o/u shotgun (one barrel loaded) and a single shot 45-70 of 7.5 lbs. For the 12 ga...

    I'm going to buy a single action revolver.

    I just don't know which one so maybe the SA revolver connoisseur's can help me decide. I have a bunch of S&W's in J, K and N frames already. The only SA revolver I ever owned was a 5" Ruger Blackhawk about 50 years ago that I really liked but I sold it. Probably nobody has ever done that. :D I...

    Ruger #3 44 Mag. Can it shoot Specials

    I know nothing about these rifles so need some experience here. I'm looking at a #3 44 Mag to purchase. I have both 44 Mag and 44 Special brass and powder to load both. Just curious, but it won't be a deal breaker if it doesn't. Seems to me it should as the cartridge would head space on the rim...

    Powder for 32 Long cartridge

    I just purchased a S&W model 31-1. I tried a few of the powders I had on hand but no joy. 2400 is out because it doesn't burn well. SR 7625 seems like it might work with at least 3 grains of powder but I don't have much of it left and they don't make it anymore. I have some Bullseye so may try...

    Wanting to replace my RWS 36

    My RWS 36 was stolen sometime ago and I need to replace it. I'm not up to speed on any new air rifles. My 36 was around 25 years old and it did all I needed to do to keep the rodent and crow population in check. I have a 22LR CZ455 but just to keep the neighbors happy I would rather use an air...

    Smith & Wesson Model 16 32 mag

    Just curious about this revolver as I'm looking at buying one. I've always been intrigued by the 32 H&R mag for a very long time. I've been hoping that S&W would build a 6" revolver in 327 fed mag but it looks like it isn't going to happen. Next best thing would be a model 16 32 H&R mag. The...

    Winchester 92 new production, where are they?

    I sold my Ruger 77/357 about 2 years ago and I'm looking for another 357 rifle. Don't have one presently. I have a pile of brass, bullets and powder and I really like that cartridge, always have. After doing some research I decided on a plain Jane Winchester 92. I'm not going to admire it, I...

    Best bullet weight .223 with 1/9 twist

    I'm trying to find the most accurate load for my Bolt rifle. I mostly shoot at 2-300 yds. and I don't hunt. So far I've tried 55 grain and 62 grain. My best loads have been with 62 grain bullets. I use Hornady bullets and AR Comp powder. I know there may be better bullets out there and chasing...

    Found a pretty good trimmer

    I've started processing a lot of rifle brass lately. I was doing it with an RCBS Trim Pro but I still had to deburr and chamfer. So I went looking for a tool that did both. This one seems to do the job. It's a Trim Pro cutter head that trims, deburrs and chamfers...

    Which cartridge would you select in these calibers?

    The Grendel vs 243 debate had me thinking about buying a new rifle. Not that I'm buying a new rifle but many here might be considering one. I won't break it down any further than the caliber because obviously that would just bog us down. I think people understand enough about the suitability for...

    Does anyone trim their 5.56 brass?

    I have two rifles, a mini 14 that shoots about 2 MOA and a .223 Howa 1500 HB with a B&C stock that is about 1 MOA. I use nothing but range brass. Just recently I decided trying something new. I seperated all of the Lake City brass from everything else. Then I decided to trim all of it for...

    New Remington bolt handgun

    Anyone see this? They're calling it chassis pistol (CP). Interesting to say the least. https://www.guns.com/news/2018/11/16/remington-launches-new-700-cp-pistol-line-in-3-calibers-photos

    So who's going to convert their AR to 300 Ham'r?

    I just watched this video from Wilson Combat. I'm not an AR guy, don't even own one, but found this interesting. He states that the project goal was a cartridge equivalent to the 30-30. We all know how popular the 30-30 has been so now it seems we have the modern equivalent and AR-15 based...

    Ruger ARR 300 BLK 1/7 twist.

    I'm looking for a cheap 300 BLK to fool around with and this looks like a candidate. I want to shoot 110-125 supersonic around 2300 fps unsurpressed and that twist has me a bit worried. That twist is for heavier bullets and I'm wondering if it will be a dog with lighter bullets and such a fast...

    Ruger Mini 14 300 BLK accuracy

    I've always wanted a Ruger Mini so now might be the time to buy one. We have an election coming up here with an Initiative that will probably give us some additional restrictions on semi-auto rifles. Just trying to get ahead of that. I like 30 caliber carbines so I'm looking at 300 BLK again...

    Does anyone ever buy .223/5.56 range brass?

    Just curious. I have way more than I need as I've been picking it up at the range for a few years. I know most people don't reload it and leave it on the ground, almost like 9 mm. If it can be sold, what would be a good price? I was thinking $4/100.

    Anyone have an MDT chassis system on a bolt rifle?

    I was at the range on Friday and saw something that intrigued me. A shooter had an MDT chassis on a Howa 1500 mini action. I'm not an AR owner but I like the modular concept. This stock, if you want to call it that, looks adjustable in just about any way you can imagine. I just shoot benchrest...
