    magazine lockout?

    I'm not much of a shotgun guy. I've been dusting off the same old Mossberg 500 every turkey season for thirty years now, and I'm completely ignorant about semi auto action shotguns. I recently have come upon a good deal on a brand new H&R Excell Auto 5 that a buddy of mine won in a raffle...

    I'm looking for a particular bullet caster.....

    I've dealt with him twice in the past. He makes a really nice 250 gr gas checked .44 bullet. I remember his first name is Bill and he lives in Burnham, PA, right outside of Lewistown. I can't recall his last name though, and I lost his e-mail addy since my computer went T.U. last summer and had...

    Handguns in rec. vehicles

    I'm the happy new owner of a travel trailer, planning a trip across several states. Some of them honor my PA CCW permit and some do not, with our final destination state, Alabama, in the "not' category. Said state also doesn't allow for a handgun to be in my vehicle legally either, in any...

    Range report: Ruger Frontier in .308

    I just got it on Sunday, the first one I found in .308, after passing on several in 300 WSM and .243. My first bolt action .308. I've had the Burris 2.75X Scout scope waiting for it for a month now in anticipation. I knew I wanted one for deer season, since I'm stuck with using crutches in...

    I need clear-coat suggestions

    I'm looking for recomendations for a clear-coat to go overtop a camo paint job that I put on my beater Cetme rifle. It's already got one coat of a Rust-o-leum product that was labelled a 'matte' finish, but seems a lot glossier than the paint was by itself. It's a good hard finish, but...

    Two Thousand Mom March

    I just heard about the "great" turnout for the MMM ralley in D.C. today. Hurray! Maybe they'll hit two hundred next year.

    Chronograph the Storm yet?

    I've been over the threads here and over at the Beretta forum and I can't find any chronograph data to compare with the same rounds from a handgun yet. Somebody's had to run one across a Chrony at some point. Fess up.

    Dampener box legal?

    If you had enough acreage to have a safe shooting range but the nieghbors were still close enough to be bothered by the noise, would it be legal to build yourself something like this to shoot through? Or would the BATFE consider this a supressor device and want to tax it.

    Gun show in Allentown?

    Someone told me today that there was a good show in Allentown this weekend, but he wasn't sure of the exact location. Does anyone know where it is located so I can pull it up on Mapquest. I already threw out last month's "American Rifleman" or I could probably find it there.

    Redhawk SA pull

    I've got this Redhawk that, after a trip to Ruger service, has a great double action pull.....smooth, easy, and always goes off. The single action pull though is gritty and inconsistent and I want it better, so I got out the rubbing compound and some Q-tips to smooth the sear engagement...

    Charter Arms Bulldog- Man, am I confused

    I got this thing from a friend and am trying to figure out if its broken or not. It seems to lock up tight and the timing is good, but when you swing out the cylinder nothing looks or acts familiar. The cylinder, when out, has a quarter of an inch of freeplay front to back. The ejector rod...

    I couldn't help myself....

    I just had to have it. It was lust at first sight. The plan is to just use it as a .44 special platform and save the heavies for my Rugers. I'll be brewin' up a half dozen different 240gr loads tonight. I can hardly wait to see what it likes.:what:

    A good day at the range

    I managed to shoot a new personal best today. Usually I shoot 30 to 50 shots at the same target, but I brought this one in after 10 shots since I was afraid I'd ruin the group if I kept going. I've suspected some 10 shot groups like this in the past, but couldn't prove it because they...

    Trapdoor carbine

    We decided to air out my buddy's 1873 Springfield this fall while we were at deer camp. I brought along some 45.70 cartridges with black powder loads that I normally shoot in my Sharps. Even though it had been given an "OK to shoot" verdict from a local smith we decided to err on the side of...

    .30 car.

    Is there a reason that the .30 carbine dies are more expensive than any others in the Dillon line. Something in thier manufacture or just marketing?
