    Ruger 7 1/2" Bisley holster fit

    Anybody ever try a Ruger Bisley in one of these? Now, before anyone says "just scroll down!", I know what it says below: The Bisley is clearly listed, but I've been "had" by Midway before with holster fit on a Hunter 1100! What I'm looking for is someone with first-hand experience...

    7x57 for Brazilian 1908

    A few weeks back I picked up a Brazilian 1908 -- you know, the full-length South American Mauser in 7x57. The shop had some 139 grain PRVI, so I bought a box to see if it was accurate and to for brass to reload. After cleaning cosmoline and giving the barrel a scrub, I was greeted with 16 inch...

    Williams WGRS on Tikka T3: Anyone ever try this?

    I was thinking of finding an aperture sight that fits a T3, but nobody advertises one as a direct fit. Then I noticed that the same rear base (Weaver #61) that fits the flat receiver Savage 110 / Knight M85 also fits the Tikka T3. By extension, couldn't one logically surmise that the Williams...

    Tell me about the craziest issue you've seen with a new gun...

    ...and I'll start it off with something I saw today. A friend of mine wondered why his new single action .22 revolver was keyholing at the range this afternoon. It was the first time he was shooting it at paper. "Let's check the bore," says I. I pulled the cylinder, and... ...no rifling...

    Wooden swinging targets

    I have access to a sizeable pile of scrap wood from our maintenance department at our townhouse. 2x4's and various other sizes. Anyway, I got to thinking how easy it would be to rig up a frame, round up some of the old rope pieces I have laying around, and hang some chunks of wood for some...

    WGRS and Lyman 17 on Savage 11 bolt action

    Bear with me on this, because details are important here. OK guys, here's a thought. I got this Savage 11G in .223 brand new in 2004: As you can see, accutrigger-equipped, which also means it has a round receiver bridge at the rear. It is equipped with these sights: I can't...

    Williams WGRS on Model Seven?

    Anyone know if the WGRS for the Model 700 will also fit on a Model Seven? Can't find one specifically for a Model Seven.

    Lee Loader powder

    I recently bought a NOS Lee Loader for .38 Special from about 1979 or 1980. In it I found a powder charge table listed with several powders, and the instructions say to include a level dip of each from the included dipper. I am posting to ask whether anything has changed in the last 30 years...

    Has Smith and Wesson ever made...

    ...a 5-shot J-frame with a 3" barrel, adjustable sights and no underlug in either .357 or .38 Special? Something like the current 3" Model 60, but with no underlug? Sounds like an ideal lightweight, compact, yet easy-to-shoot revolver. Does it exist?

    .357 Ruger Redhawk

    Saw one of these beasts with wooden grips and a 7.5" barrel today in a shop around here for $549. The cylinder walls were the thickest I've ever seen. What was the point of such an overbuilt revolver, or were they made just as a curiosity?

    Blackhawk rear sights

    When Blackhawks were first introduced, they had the Micro rear sight on a flattop frame. Later, protective ears were added to prevent damage. My question is, has anybody ever had a problem with rear sight damage on a flattop? Now that the 50th anniversary models are out, are their rear...

    Stack-On security cabinet

    Anyone here have the Stack-On 14-gun security cabinet? If so, how do you like it? I'm looking for something inexpensive and it's on sale for $120 and looks like it fits the bill.

    NEF Handi-Rifle scope question

    A friend of mine needs to scope an NEF Handi-Rifle. What height of rings are necessary to clear the hammer? Also, is a hammer extension necessary?
