    I shot my Mossberg 590 in a tactical shotgun match (video if interested)

    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...

    Good box for shipping a 1903 Springfield?

    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...

    Beretta 92 experts: what is this?

    https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1038031091 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

    Is there any data on the number of guns owned per state, and/or the percentage/ratio of citizens/gun ownership by state?

    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?

    Goon and Jackrabbit: thoughts on tuning revolvers for fanning?

    This guy does quick draw and triple shot stuff and talks about his modifications starting about 9:30 in this video https://youtu.be/InZF3JOFmXw?si=i2Fxr__jKW4G4761 He says Bob Munden did similar things and talks about extending the leades into the cylinder notches, adjusting the timing so the...

    Note to self: don’t tumble .357 mag and 5.7X28 together

    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

    Has anyone tried "The Load" (13 grs. Red Dot) in 8mm Mauser with lead pills?

    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...

    Removing rusted screw with buggered head. Got it out; update p.3 post #70

    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...

    In today's edition of Guns I Want: Dan Wesson Heirloom 1911 in .38 Super

    https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1022684415 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.

    Initial impressions/review and video of Stoeger STR-9 and comparison to Glock 17 and 19

    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...

    Cool old paperwork from 1969

    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.

    Talk me out of this: Stoeger STR-9 and Burris FFIII combo for $299 on clearance, Clarence

    https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/101334542 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...

    Don't drop the slide on an empty chamber (Mas Ayoob video)

    Reminder for the uninformed; particularly on a 1911-based pistol. Don't "drop the slide" unless you're actually loading a cartridge. https://youtu.be/LJdsSJsNKU8?si=rku1E7B5yEfLaSrA

    Re-tempering a tool after heating?

    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...

    Fun chilly match with M1 Garand today

    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...

    Got a Super Wrangler

    $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...

    What are the most expensive guns currently being made for sale?

    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...
