As a long-time member and very infrequent poster I feel like this is a good time to chime in. Today, Alabama's governor Kay Ivey signed the bill ending permit requirements for concealed carry in the state of Alabama. We're now the 22nd state to enact constitutional carry...

I love the look of this pistol. The slide is non-traditional with angled cuts down toward the recessed bull barrel. Not for everyone. It's not quite commander length at 4", has tapered Hogue G10 grips, a flat trigger (that breaks cleaner than any other I've owned), checkered front strap, a...

Will someone please send me a pm with the code? Thanks

Trying out some new ammo in the Ruger MPR this morning and got a case stuck in the chamber. I was able to free the stuck bolt carrier but couldn't understand why the extractor wouldn't pull the case out. Once home, I pushed it out from the muzzle end and found this... It appears that the...

Evening everyone, I have an old Dewey cleaning rod that for reasons long forgotten, I screwed in a male adapter for female jags. It is now good and stuck. I've tried using heat to loosen up the threads with no success. Any advice on how to remove this without ruining a good cleaning rod? Thanks

I took out the new 556 MPR today to sight in. Sights are Magpul Pro irons. Set up at 25 meters. It took a lot of clicks to raise my POI to match POA, but I found that there was about a 3" difference in elevation shooting from a rest vs shooting from field positions. The photo below shows the...

Good afternoon, everyone. It's been a while since I've posted, but I find myself with an issue. I've been using a Lee Classic Turret press and dies for over 10 years, and while I never felt like they offer high precision, they normally provide a decent amount of repeatability once I have them...

I've been shooting hard cast, but am thinking of trying some swaged 158 gr lswchp's for my snubs (m10/m19). I can't find Remingtons, so I'm trying to decide between Speer, Hornady, and perhaps Zero, which are lubed more like a hard-cast bullet. My intent is to load them in the 800+ fps range...

Mastercast of Illinois' 165 gr rnfp 30-30 bullets? They are priced almost 50% below the similar offerings from Laser-Cast, Penn, and Hunter's Supply. My experience with Mike's 200 gr swc bullets has been positive, but this price seems to good to be true. Yea or nay?

The front sight on my 1991 Commander came unstaked, so I had someone local re-stake it. Yesterday, the front sight came off entirely while shooting rapid-fire. I've called Colt customer service and they told me to send it in to them, but I'm wondering if I should consider having someone cut a...

I've been loading for handgun calibers for a couple three years now, and I've decided to branch out to 30 WCF. I've been loading with a Lee turret and Lee dies up to this point, and I like the powder-thru-expander die option. It appears that this is not how it works for rifle rounds. Could...

I'm trying to determine if these are police dept markings or something else on a 1943 Colt Official Police. Can you help?

I picked this up last weekend at the Bessemer, AL show. I had no intention to purchase that day, but y'all know how that works. It reads C.O.P. #127 on the butt. Is this a department marking? [/IMG] [/IMG] Introductions were made. New friends... [/IMG] I spoke with Brian at...

Just a little gun humor from Firesign Theater. Don't take it too seriously or anything. :D

I just installed swivels on my Marlin 336 and am wondering what you lever-lovers use to sling up?

There's a pretty big difference in starting/max loads using 2400 in these 2 books. Also, Lyman doesn't list data for 158 gr lswc, which is the bullet I'm using. Question #1 - Is Lyman's data real light or is Modern's data real heavy? Question #2 - What is your preferred charge for target...

I'm branching out from loading .45acp to .38 and .357 and am running into a small contradiction. The Lyman manual calls for a magnum primer and Modern Reloading by Lee calls for a small pistol primer. Can I use both?

My 8 year old daughter, who has exibited no interest in firearms ever, accompanied me to the range today. We discussed the range rules, gun safety, and the parts of the gun. She understands and retains more than I thought possible. We shot .22 pistol and rifle. Not a lot, just enough to...

I bought a beautiful specimen of S&W goodness only to be disappointed at the range. I can shoot .38's with no problem, but the ejector rod sticks and I have to pull one or two cases out by hand. That was annoying, but not as annoying as the cylinder locking up while shooting .357 rounds. I...

I shot this group last Friday with my trusty Marlin 336 and an old Weaver K2.5 Shot seated at 200 yards, no sling. I do hope y'all will forgive my excessive pride, but this is about the best shooting I've ever done.
