    New S&W 686-6, 1st range trip

    Been wanting either a 586 or 686 with 4" barrel for a while now. Gentleman at my local range let me try his some time back, & took a liking to it immediately- something that's never happened to me with a revolver. Thought hard about ordering a 586 (beautiful gun!) & might still have one...

    Swedish Mauser 38 information check

    Local shop has one in pretty good condition. Took note of the markings & configuration, then did a little research to see exactly what it is. What I saw on the rifle, and what I think I know about it: * Receiver marked WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER OBERNDORF 1899 * Serial 29935 (all match except floor...

Have been wanting a 550 to sort of round out my CZ armory, but admit I didn't know much about the caliber, or whether the price was right. Did a little homework over lunch & decided the caliber...

    Range trip, CZ 527 carbine

    Rang in the New Year with a range visit to put my CZ 527M 7.62x39, purchased ~6 weeks ago, through the paces. It had shown some promise in a few range visits earlier, both with the factory sights & a scope borrowed from another rifle. Wasn’t all peaches ‘n cream though- spent case ejection...
