I think mine was fun and my then 12 year old daughter liked it (and pronounced it “Her” gun) until the hand spring broke and I have not “Gotten A Round Tuit” on fixing it. I do not recall our powder load of BP but we used Single Aught buckshot loaded off the gun, then used the lever to insure...

I recently got to look over an old RG 40 2” .38 SPL revolver. I got to doing research and dFanged if I can tell the difference between an RH38S and RG40. Anyhow I got to poking about the Internet and found piles of …. er, waste… and what appears to be a few nuggets and jewels. For one thing I...

Are those close to any S&W frame size? Will they fit a K-frame holster? … an N-frame? Does anyone that uses a S&W K-frame or larger use them as a training aide? -kBob

Got to handle one that was open a Tractor Supply and I do not think it will do for me. Clunky, feels bulkier in the hand than an 1863 Remington BP revolver (folks call the 1858) yet much lighter. No idea how it shoots, and not likely to find out. -kBob

Anyone care to talk about their experience with one or more? How close size wise to Remington “1858” BP Revolver? -kBob

That is hit half the time at 100 yards! Hitting at the more realistic 3 to 7 yards was easy Sorry a late supper confused me! -kBob

So In the late 1980’s the Beretta M-21a WAS hot. A bud had one and after shooting his I got one. 35 years ago I could see the sights, if the lighting was right. Bud did the opposite of everyone else with his sights he painted that round hole on the back of the slide a sort of yellowish white (...

Anyone still using one? I used one from 1975 until 2005 when a “gun school” instructor said that if I loved my kids I would go to a “Standard Barrel Bushing” I was wondering if anyone has one they used longer than 30 years with no issues. Despite all the stories from instructors, gun smiths...

Doing some chores in the Tack room today and went to give the Daisy its monthly flip. I store it either muzzle down or muzzle up to let the lube run back and forth. Cocked it muzzle down and sure enough it did not pick up a BB but aimed and fired like it had. Second cock was muzzle up and I got...

When the slide stops on the magazine follower Flip the safety on and jack the slide back that last half inch. Then thumb back the mag catch while hooking mag finger hook with the same hand index finger and shuck out the mag. Load new mag. with same hand pull down and rotate the safety...

I will be punished by some folks for doing so and writing about it, but in the last century I carried mine with a loaded chamber and at the half cock. To give you an idea of how long ago I will say my carry ammo of choice was the Super Vel JHP. At the time My buddies had Walther PPk, Astra...

I have taken an Appleseed and “attended” two with my kids. I slapped Tech Sites on a 10-22 and larger sling swivels for a GI canvas sling ( I learned NOT to use the nylon model half a century ago.) After my experience I added an extended mag release, modified my bolt lock, and did a trigger...

Some of the Savage 6 series semi autos will cycle Crimped bird shot. More often than not. For whatever reason holding the trigger back longer between shots seems to help cycling I suspect the Rat-shot does not push the bolt fully to the rear, but far enough to allow the trigger to lock back...

I wonder id CBC in Brazil might still have any stocks laying about or could still make new ones? If they still have the molds in stock perhaps they could use a “modern” plastic in them to make replacement stocks. Unfortunately I do not speak Portuguese. Other than an ejector I have not tried...

Local shop has a Seneca Green and the price tag reads “Not For Sale” -kBob

Ah but do any of you guys have a GR8 rifle? -kBob

No opinions, just your experiences, please. If you have no experience with Tech Sights on a Ruger 10/22 take down Please do not confuse the issue. I imagine that having the front and rear sights on two different pieces during take down MIGHT lead to loss of zero, but I do not know. If you...

Oh and our local scout council used a hanging carpet as the back stop for Cub Scout Summer day camps using the lever action spring powered BB guns, both the old Rotary Club target models and whatever passes for “Red Rider” type today. As a kid I was used a smallish card board box about a cubic...

Do not use Hollow point .22 LR on “self sealing” rubber targets. The HP acts like a tiny cookie cutter. I have some stall mat scraps from new mats and some used mats I hope to play with this summer….. or when ever the artificial knee decides to let me dash about for more than a half hour. -kBob

well I have done “door breaching” with a concrete block. Of course being Florida and a downstairs apartment the door was a glass “sliding patio door” The heat may have been a factor as we were dealing with a kitchen fire in an apartment with no one home…. amazing how many folks go off and...
