    Winchester 9422 Value

    The local gun shop had a Winchester 9422 marked for $870 today. There were the usual few handling marks in the wood and a minor mar on the receiver in the right light, but was in overall good condition. Likely 90-95% condition. What should be the going rate for a rifle like this? I am...

    What has been your experience reloading .30 carbine? I reloaded my first set of .30 carbine cartridges last night and was surprised by how thin the brass is and how sensitive to alignment it was. Two cases were crushed during belling and bullet seating. Does anyone have any suggestions for...

    Smith Wesson ILS IDPA/IPSC

    Does disabling the ILS in a new Smith-Wesson revolver disqualify a revolver for IPSC or IDPA competition? The way I read the rule book, all safeties inherent to the gun must be in working order. I have the feeling that this is primarily intended for 1911 grip safeties, striker safeties...

    "I want to get rid of Outdoor Shooting Ranges"

    Before I get any flames, the quote in the title is not mine and I do not agree with it. I much prefer outdoor ranges to inside ones. The title is a quote from one of the county commissioners in the article. Read the article below. That an official like that got voted into office in TN is...
