    Legal to Import Brass?

    I have a chance to buy a large quantity (for me, anyway) of brass from Sweden for a hard to find caliber. However, the seller says he will not be responsible for the legality of the transaction. Does anybody know if it is legal to import cartridge cases from another country? Thanks in...

    Recommendations for Target Throwers

    Our Western target throwers (circa 1950 something) are now officially worn out at our local trap range. I am writing a grant to get them replaced and also get two throwers for a skeet range, courtesy our state Game & Parks Commission. (Not international trap, I do know that is a whole 'nother...

    EAA .38 Super Question

    I have seen EAA Witness .38 Supers listed as having a capacity of both 10 and 18 rounds, both under the model number 999151. Am I right in assuming that the reason for this is simply the difference of whether the magazine was made during the Assault Weapons ban or after? Thanks for any...

    EAA .38 Super Capacity

    I am doing a little research on the full sized steel EAA Witness chambered for the .38 Super (last minute or late Christmas present). Anyhow, I have seen the Model number 999151 as having an 18+1 round capacity on some websites, and also as having only a 10+1 round capacity on other listings...

    Need Supply of Trap Patches

    I am looking for a source of "25 straight" trap patches to hand out to those who shoot at the local Izaak Walton trap range, of which I am a member. Specifically, I have purchased some from the Izaak Walton League, and have a line on purchasing some from Winchester, but would like to hand out...

    USA Today "Sanitizes" Story

    I am sure many of you have heard the news story in which a man stabbed eight coworkers in a supermarket. What I am not sure about is "which" ending you have heard from your particular news source. Here is one ending: ...Ingram, chasing one victim into the store's parking lot, was...

    Competition Taking Over Gun Club

    Our rifle club just spent a considerable amount of money on steel reactive targets for the various competitions we have at the gun club. However, these are only put out for the competitions as the powers that be do not trust the rank and file membership not to shoot them up with high powered...

    Solvents for Plastic Fouling in Barrels

    Does anyone have a recommendation on solvents for removing plastic fouling from shotgun barrrels and inline muzzleloaders. Commercial or homemade, either is fine. I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of solvents may remove copper, lead, and powder okay, but may not do so well on plastics...

    .460 Smith & Wesson a Beast

    I had my doubts on whether practicality was abandoned when Smith & Wesson came out with the .500, so when the .460 S&W came out, I thought it was a step back towards a more sensible definition of a handgun. Pointed bullets at over 2,000 fps seemed a good idea, if you could get it to work out of...

    .22 Winchester Auto Ammo

    Can anybody tell me the last time anyone ran a lot or two of ammunition for the .22 Winchester Automatic ammunition, and was it Winchester that produced it? I am trying to run some down for my uncle, who is teaching his grandsons how to shoot with a Model 1903(?). Yeah, probably cheaper to...
