Here's an activism thought: VOTE! Better yet; vote, then get someone else to vote also. Round them up and take them to vote. Ask all the like-minded people you know if they vote. I'm sure this has been done before, and if it isn't specific enough I apologize. I hope this call to action fits...

Found some '06 ammo at the gun show today, wondered if it might be to old to be safe to shoot. Headstamp must mean March 2005, Federal Ammunition, or something, right?:) Seven years is too old to shoot I think. Would you fire it? Think it would still go off? I'm tempted to try and see.

delete Never mind. I realized that I posted the type of question I dislike; "What's this worth so I can sell it?"

A friend recently bought a new CZ rifle in .300 Win Mag. I don't remember the model, but it's a beautiful rifle. I know he paid a pretty penny for it. He reloads and has a favorite load for his old rifle, using 180 gr. bullets. He worked and worked with it in the new CZ but couldn't get...

I know that there are some very knowledgeable folks here that might have some suggestions, though this isn't the typical 'how can I make this thing shoot' question. Two rifles with brand new (US made) barrels installed, both shoot about 10" 'patterns' at 100 yards, from the bench. They are...

I have acquired a large quantity of shotshell hulls, and have been trying to determine a fair value so I can put them up for sale. I think they are all Winchester; some obviously once-fired, some look to be more. I have 12 ga., 20 ga., 28 ga., and .410. Obviously the .410s and 28s are worth...

I bought a bunch of reloading stuff, with the intention of selling most of it, and there's a number of boxes of brand new Federal 6x47mm virgin nickel brass cases. Can I neck this stuff down, trim it and use it for blasting ammo in my AR? Just kidding! Is there any demand for this caliber...

My friend and I were shooting his AK rifle, and I can't figure out what the problem could be. I know many of you will laugh and just say not to shoot that junky old ammo, but here's the thing: We have a bunch of questionable old Egyptian ammo. I think the primers are on the edge, kind of like...

I have a bunch of LC 7.62 NATO blanks, both empties and live. I'm tempted to just scrap them because I don't know what else they are good for. At the current price of brass, they're worth about 5 cents each as scrap. Of course I'd pop the live ones first. Is this stuff of any value to anyone...

I don't post about stuff like this normally, but this worked me up a bit. I've never in my life been so rudely treated in my life, in a store. This particular business has a reputation for attitude. They have maybe half a dozen guys that work there, and most of them are jerks; the owner is the...

I know internet legal advice is worth what it costs, but I thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone has some thoughts on it. A friend of mine borrowed a car. He got pulled over for some minor reason, and the officer saw some empty rifle shells on the seat or something, and asked if...

I'm getting low on 4895. I have an 8 pound keg of Ramshot Big Game powder that I bought because I was told that it is the right powder for the M1. I thought that TAC would be better because the charge weights are closer to 4895, and Big Game uses a heavier charge weight, and I would have...

A friend of mine wants to hunt duck, and has an old Ithaca 37 12 gauge. He knows he shouldn't shoot steel shot through it, but wants to know if there is anything other "non-toxic" loads that would be safe to use in it. I figured there would be some experts here that would know. Any ideas?

A friend brought over an old shotgun he inherited. It seems to be some kind of convertible cartridge/ percussion gun. A 16 gauge shotgun shell will chamber except for the rim, and it has firing pins as well as hammers. There are two steel "cartridges" stored in the buttstock that chamber also...

A friend of mine is thinking about selling his old Colt SAA revolver. It's been in his family for a long time, but he knows it's worth quite a bit. He's trying to figure out just how much, or at least a good starting price, as some estimates of value have been all over the place. More photos...

I was cleaning up an old rifle for a friend, Winchester pump .22LR. It's been in his family for generations, and has obviously seen some hard use over the decades. The one issue that I can't fix is a "ring" in the bore, about an inch or so past the chamber. I'm assuming that someone at some...

I have an older Marlin 1894 in .44 mag. It's in excellent shape, and info I found online indicates a manufacture date of 1979. I didn't buy it new, but have had it for a long time. What kind of accuracy can one normally expect from one of these? I posted about this a year or two ago, just got...

I've got a bunch of 12ga hulls that I'll never load, so I'll need to get rid of them at some point. There are different types, Remington, Winchester, Federal. Quite a few Rem. Gun Club, but none of the good AA hulls. What are good types that would be worth keeping or selling? My wife...

This round has been laying around for a while. Does it look safe to shoot? Also, I think it's boxer primed: is it OK to reload? :D

I have an EAA Witness in .40 S&W. It is a ported model. The first time I shot it a couple weeks ago I noticed it shot about a foot low at 30 yards. Yesterday I got serious, broke out the sandbags, and paced off 25 yards. I really focused on shooting as good as I can. My last ten shots were...
