A local range puts on public rifle or shotgun matches a couple times a year in between training classes etc. Nothing too hardcore, just shooting for fun and getting some practice in. Although Vang Comp did give a $295 gift certificate to the winner of the Heavy Metal (12 gauge pump) division. I...
I have bought a few rifles long distance but haven’t previously sold any that I’ve had to ship. Is there a preferred source for shipping boxes for a long gun of this size? Any other tips welcome. Not super happy about having to sell but taxes got me this year.
My FFL is shipping it because the...

It says Beretta 92FS in the listing and on the slide... but... is it a mixmaster with an FS slide/upper on a 92X frame? Or is it a 92FS Vertec? Or something else? Is this offered in a factory configuration? Thanks
Curious if anyone has reliable info on this. Obviously "registration" isn't a thing everywhere (thankfully) so data may be spotty, but is there info on form 4473s by year or anything?
This guy does quick draw and triple shot stuff and talks about his modifications starting about 9:30 in this video

He says Bob Munden did similar things and talks about extending the leades into the cylinder notches, adjusting the timing so the...
Tumbled a batch of mixed range pickup brass (pre-sorting) in relatively uncommon calibers (some of which I don’t even have a firearm chambered for, like 5.7, .300BO or .22-250) and pretty much none of the 5.7 got clean LOL
I've been shooting reduced (published) loads of 8.5 grains Unique under Laser Cast 170 FP in my .30-30 at 18 yards indoors, and it's super fun on steel targets and doesn't beat them up. I have only one 8mm Mauser, a Czech Vz. 24, and I rarely shoot it because I don't have a rifle-length range...
Right side carrier screw on an old 1894 (1910 production) is frozen in place and one of the previous owners buggered the head badly. So it’s been rusted in place for at least 50 years and I’m guessing quite a few more. I was able to get the guts out because the carrier is the old flexible type...

Honestly I'm not fussy about the caliber but IMO this is a looker, particularly for the price. Still too rich for my blood, though.
Happened upon this deal at local Cabela's; they were clearing out these Stoeger STR-9/Burris FastFire 3 packages for $299. The FF3 sells for about $170-200 so I figure I could pay $100 for a (potentially) very functional handgun. And Stoeger was offering a $50 rebate, which I only found out...
Found this stuff in a box in my garage. Paperwork and receipt from my mom buying an 1849 pocket and 1851 navy for my dad in 1969 and 1970. Including a letter from the dealer and a .31 ball mold.

Local Cabelas has a bunch of these pistols for sale in a combo package including a FastFire 3, on clearance for $299.
I don't need one. Don't really want one. Don't love shooting semi-autos much anymore. But my Scottish blood has a hard time passing...
Reminder for the uninformed; particularly on a 1911-based pistol. Don't "drop the slide" unless you're actually loading a cartridge.

I’ve been heating one jaw/tip of my long nose pliers to cherry red and placing it on a frozen screw head trying to get some Kroil/heat cycles to free it. Anyway I’d like to use the pliers afterward without them shattering or bending. Do I water quench or oil quench or do nothing? As for you who...
Tactical match. Everyone else shooting ARs. I shot my crusty Blue Sky import M1 Garand and lumbered around and blew a lot of ammo. It was fun. I missed a lot of longer range steel and had fun and hit some shorter range steel and had fun.
Interestingly, I watched the guys in my squad have quite...
$286 after tax at local Cabelas. 5.5” black model. Overall pretty impressed. There’s a defect in the cerakote on the front/bottom edge of the muzzle but I don’t care. Trigger is heavy; initial 7.5 lbs now about 5 lbs 13 oz. But it breaks pretty clean. Trigger spring feels overly strong. Fit is...

for any interested
Also the 1860 army 5 3/8" barrel half-fluted model is on sale for $330 (cheaper than the brass-framed variant currently).

I'm not talking about auctions for historical or hollywood guns. I mean if I wanted the best currently made custom double rifle or hand-made shotgun or whatever, what would it cost? I used to hear rumors of $250,000 hand-made Parker shotguns that you had to order 20 years in advance.... is that...
