My never gun is an abused beat-up New Haven 600CT pump 20. I've owned it for 30 years, I haven't fired it in 10, I never shoot it or hunt with it anymore, I only take it out to fondle once every two or three years. The receiver has been drilled and tapped for a scope mount with no.8 machine...

I am putting an A1 stock on my AR, I just noticed that I ordered an A1 length butt cap screw without the hole. What's the hole for and does the absents of the hole matter? Why? My thanks in advance. RH

Fear not, I intentionally misspelled Krag, because that's what my co-worker called it. At first I thought it was just a pet name for it, like Remmy or Winny. But as his boasting progressed I knew I was in for a story. Understand that this guy claims to have been in every branch of Special Forces...

The A2 stock on my AR was too long for my liking, so I decided to put a M16 stock (w/o trapdoor) on it to get the shorter length that I wanted. While checking prices for a stock I discovered that I could get a complete M16 stock set in fair condition from Gunparts Corp for $24 shipped. I still...

I and PT140 went out today and shot my Lithgow #1 Mk III*. This was the first time I had fired the rifle since I bought it, however I had fired the rifle before when PT140 owned it and was very impressed with it and above all it functioned flawlessly. Last week I bought some 1960's Surplus .303...

I have a couple of boxes of 8mm Mauser ammunition identified as "198 grain SWAT" What does the "SWAT" stand for? I have gone over every bullet acronym I can think of and I still have no idea what "SWAT" stands for. RH

The other "Wal-Mart gun" thread got me to wondering just how many of my guns came from Wal-Mart. I came up with 10 that I have owned, 7 of them I still have. They are a Ruger Mini-14, Marlin 1894c, Winchester 1400 MKII, Remington 1100, Ruger 10/22, Marlin 917V and a Lakefield youth 22. How about...

I've been looking for a cheap reusable target and finally found one at the Dollar store in the toy section. They are called Foam Dice and measure about 2.5 X 2.5 inches. They come in a 2 pack in several different colors and cost $1. The pictures, T1 shows the entrance holes made by .22lr 40 gr...

Got my Father's Day present today, a Yugo 24/47 8mm (Century Arms) for $129+tax. It has a 3" crack on the front of the upper hand guard, but I took care of that with a little wood glue. Wood and metal look good and all the serial numbers match. Of course I spent 3 hours getting the cosmoline off...

FYI Pass this on to your kids, it offers some good advice about what to do if your not sure who is pulling you over. Not gun related. but this knuckle-head could end up getting shot if he keeps it up. Here's the story http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/Story.aspx?type=ln&NStoryID=5988...

A Ruger MK III followed me home today from the FT Wayne gun show. After cleaning the pistol I started messing with the mags. I noticed that when I load the 9th round the follower sticks and when the mag is turned upside down all the cartridges fall out of it. The follower stays stuck until I...

Just pick up a MN 91/30 for $69.99 at Dunham Sports in Angola Indiana, They also had a MN M44 for $79.99, so I bought it too. I am one happy camper.:D :D

Anyone own a Indian Armory Hi Power? I see them quit often at Gander Mountain for $279 on sale. I want an HP but I am also a tight wad and if I can get a decent (beauty is not a factor) HP for $279 then I will. What I don't want, is to buy a $279 paper weight. Thanks for your input. RH

Just watched a Crime Stoppers add on TV, turn in a person for having an illegal gun, if it results in an arrest or gets a illegal gun off the street then you get the normal crime stopper reward plus a bonus on top of it. IIRC the CS reward is $500. This is in NE Indiana and is the first time I...

I have a Springfield Mil spec 1911 that I normally carry "cocked n locked". But over the past six months or so I have developed a habit while working outside or in the garage to carry it hammer down on a loaded chamber. Why? I don't know, just have. Today I noticed that the round that was in...

Me and a buddy were shooting clay pigeons at his house today when my Winchester 1400 jammed. It was a typical failure to feed, the leading edge of the shell hung up on the outer edge of the breech face. Very simple to clear, if you do it the right way... Have you ever knew that what you were...

I'm thinking on buying a Taurus 945 blue in like new condition. It's fired less than 150 rounds it comes with 3 mags, box and paperwork. All for $275. The seller is a friend of mine and is selling it because he carries his .40 and "just don't need the .45". Well neither do I, but for $275 I...

I was checking out the 1911 selection at a gun shop today. I was looking at low end 1911's by several different manufactures, the clerk trying to get an idea of exactly want I wanted kept bringing different makes with different features. Then he brought up a $1200 Kimber. I told him that owning...
