I caught the single action bug again. I've wanted to shoot 45 acp out of a revolver for awhile now. How well does your Ruger Convertible shoot them? Any issues?

I'm looking at a short cylinder model in 357. Like this.At the time of this writing, buying new, it is about $300 more than a SS 357 Ruger Blackhawk. I'm wondering from you Magnum Research revolver owners, how's the quality of these revolvers? I've always had the impression that they were...

I've been wanting to send my 686 and a 6" Colt Python barrel to Ten Ring Precision for a Smython build (I hate the sound of "Smolt") The idea was the stronger S&W action with the more accurate Colt barrel made for an ideal, accurate revolver. Not sure about that, but I find them very unique and...

Just curious what everyone's favorite 1873 SAA barrel length is. If you could only have one.

I'm not much of an AR guy, but I figured I'd have at least one. Nothing against them. I "built" this one a few years ago. It's an LMT Spm16 upper on an Aero Precision lower with an Aero Precision LPK and Magpul furniture (aside from the LMT handguard, which I'm not sure who makes that for...

Has anyone, maybe an SASS shooter, noticed a difference in accuracy with a Pietta, Uberti, EMF, Traditions etc Italian repros vs an American SAA like a New Vaquero or a Standard mfg or a Colt? I know they're not target guns with the fixed sights and all, just curious if anyone's noticed a...

I know these are tough times for us shooters, but I never thought I would see the day where a Ruger Blackhawk 357 neared the price of a S&W 686. $829 MSRP for a 6.5" blued Blackhawk 357. $893 MSRP for a SS S&W 686 357. What gives? I paid $475+tax for a NIB Blackhawk, from high dollar Cabelas...

I'm curious what powder loads and bullets have been the most reliable for those of you that reload the 50 AE for the Desert Eagle. I know lead bullets aren't recommended and that jacketed bullets are required for the best function due to the gas system. Also, I've read one post somewhere that...

I'm looking to buy a Desert Eagle 50ae but I never liked the picatinny rails on these since I dont plan to mount an optic, so for me, they appear too busy. I really prefer the look and lines of the ones with just two slots cut in. What are the models or years of the DE in 50ae that just had the...

I've always wanted a "Japanese Steel" folder. Just to add to the collection. I dont have one single Japanese blade in my collection. I love the Higonokami. But I'm kind of muddied up on what that can mean. I've done a little research and I believe Nagao Kanecoma makes a true to the name knife...

I have an old Boker Tree Brand from Solingen with a Rostfrei marked blade and wow, the quality is excellent. How do new Bokers stand up? As I'm to understand, the Tree Brand is still made in Solingen. Are they still Rostfei? Still quality? Just looking for a 3 or 4 blade folder that's not a...

I have used Tru-Oil and Linseed in the past with good results. I seen a post on another forum where a guy used Tung Oil finish, could have just been his prep, but the stock looked incredible. Anyone here use this stuff? What was your process? How about maintenance? Thanks!

I see Skinner has an offering but they seem to be more "set it and forget it" type peeps. How's the build quality on these? Then there's the Lyman 48 and Redfield 80. I've heard these things are great. Any input on either would be appreciated. Am I missing any others that will pair up without...

Ive been considering a USP again and am only finding the V1 in 10 round capacity here. No 12 round capacity ones. Is there any difference between the 10rd and 12rd USP V1 mechanically? Like some sort of extra CA compliant part in the 10rd gun? Or do they just list them that way because one...

I've had the SxS bug for awhile now. Finally found a nice Stevens 311 at a pawn shop north of me for $200! Sold in the 30 mins it took me to grab some cash from home. Now the bug is biting hard enough for me to just go on Gunbroker, even though I like to handle something like a SxS before I buy...

I do love a nice .308 Win or .30-06 bolt action rifle. The pre '64 Winchester Model 70 would be my favorite bolt action. Followed closely by the Mauser 98k. But... I'd like a bolt action chambered in something unique. Like a rimmed cartridge or a handgun round. Any suggestions? Preferably...

I just can't justify the $60 for a one or two time job. I would compensate shipping obviously. Cutter/bit would be returned asap. If not, I'll bite the bullet and buy one. Thanks!

Dynamit Nobel 1075 plus. $5 per 100. I think the fine folks at Fleet Farm mispriced them as I'm seeing them sell for $10.99 elsewhere. Anyways, I bought about 2000 of these caps. Just wondering if any members have experience with these and your opinions. To my understanding they're basically...

From what I was led to understand is that the Sears Model 54 was made by Winchester and is just a Winchester '94 with a Sears Roebuck roll mark. Anyone know if there are differences internally? I assume maybe cosmetic differences like lower quality wood. Maybe not though. If anyone knows...

I didn't know how to title this one. A picture? A plaque? But here it is. My Grandpa gave this to my Brother a few years before he passed away. He was the man who introduced me to firearms. My very first gun was gifted to me by him on Christmas when I was 8 years old. Great man. Anyway, my...
