    #4 Rolling Block question

    I have two old Remington #4's. I have been getting them back in shooting order and still cannot find anything out about build dates. They are s/n'd in the 352,xxx and 354,xxx ranges. Both are late series take downs with round knurled bolts, shiney bores. They have s/n's on the barrels...

    Penn long rifle help needed

    I aquired a pretty solid black powder collection a few years ago when my Dad passed away. My step-sons have an interest in muzzleloader hunts this year so we have been experimenting with a couple of them. I really would like some insight or info if possible on the rifles. Gun #1 is a...

    Ruger factory Seconds?

    I was reading my handy dandy Blue Book and it has a bit of information on Ruger Blackhawks marked with a "S" stamp. Well I actually own one of them, I think. It has a big "S" stamped on the cylinder and a couple of little spots that look like they have been scuffed up with an electro-pencil on...

    Russian capture Luger question?

    Anybody got one? Anybody know anything useful, entertaining or of historical interest about them? How about just an opinion of the one I bought? I picked up a Russian capture BYF 42 Luger the other day and was wondering the usual stuff, did I pay to much, are they desirable in any way...

    I bought a pre-28 Highway Patrolman today, it was in fair condition and priced roght for a good shooter. It has a couple of appealing features. It is a five screw, six inch bbl gun and it is a few hundred off from one I already own. But in the crane area of the frame below the usual part...

    Enfield .455 revolver question

    I came across a revolver the other day. It is an Enfield made version of the Webley MK VI made in 1924. It has 97% finish and period holster. It is apparently a low production version of the Webley revolver according to the one book I have with any information. Does anyone know anything...

    Amazing bullet performance?

    One of my bud's sent me a link, it is listed in the new "Cheaper than Dirt" catalogue. The next Extreme Shocker is some amazing ammunition from a company called DRT. Apparently if you shoot it at "organic targets" it makes an astonishing wound by creating a void or wound channel that is FIVE...

    Local Gunshow,,,ugh

    So the biggest show of the year was this weekend. My buddy had a table and I sat in with him for the heck of it. Anything we had that was a bargain was snapped up by dealers during set-up, quickly remarked for 150% of retail and set out on their tables. Everything was overpriced that could be...

    Range report CZ-452

    I recently purchased a CZ-452 American. This is a spiffy little .22 rimfire, bolt action. Besides being a left handed gun, it has plenty of features and high quality throughout. Once I saw the stock, it had a lot of tiger stripe in the walnut, I had to have it. I put a cheap Bushnell 3x9...

    Buying less is good for the economy.

    I've been watching the congress, Wall Street and all the various drama hitting our pocket books lately. It has me thinking. The whole mess was and is being created and driven by credit, over-extended and over used in all forms. The only way to stop this train wreck is to buy less, a lot...

    Shiloh Sharps question?

    I really do not care to get into the blackpowder/smokeless powder whining that accompanies any post about reloading a 19th century rifle. In spite of whatever is posted or disclaimed by Shiloh Sharps, Garrett Ammunition says their +P 45-70 is suitable for Shiloh rifles on their website and...

    Me and my Sharps have a few questions,,

    I have an 1886 in 45-90 and recently purchased a Shiloh Sharps in the same caliber. It left me wondering a few things. I have 300 and 350gr loads in smokeless for the 1886 and tried then in the Sharps. They stink,,,,,no kidding. They are hardcast bullets and mild loaded and they group the...

    So I bought a vault door.

    from a "quality company" or so the interweb and BBB claimed. I spent a small fortune to keep toys secure. I asked for a specific size of door, they normally build it, with a specific set of options that they offer and for a wall of specific thickness. Sounds like a good deal, they build what...

    Speak up for paratrooper.

    http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46vYZFU1Dew I have a friend in this unit. Those barracks are a crumbling dump at best. Since this got posted on youtube, they have been torturing these guys. Everyone is on 24/7 GI party so they can get the dump painted before a congressman shows up...

    Sportsman's Steel safe question

    I am hunting for a vault door and these guys come up from time to time. The problem is they have as many nasty comments and lousy customer service stories as they do good stories. How is their quality? Product support? and Does anyone here own anything from them? Sorry for yet another...

    S&W Aircrewman

    I recently purchased a K-frame USAF M-13 revolver in about 80-85%. I know it is as real as they come, since it was this guys seat kit equipment and it followed him home in the early 1960's. I have not seen one in twenty years before this one came up in a conversation and I offered to buy it...
