The land I hunt has several fox squirrels on it, with several variations of colors. Near our main stand there are at least 6 of them that we've been watching this season. The landowner has asked us not to shoot them as he likes them and their colors. I can't really blame him, as I've come to...

Has anyone used S&W Performance Center refinishing? https://www.smith-wesson.com/customer-service/performance-center-precision-gunsmithing I have a 29-3 that was one of my first Smiths, but the bluing was well worn when I got it. After deer season I was thinking of sending it out to be...

Does anyone have dimensions for the OEM moonclips that come with a the S&W 627? The ones marked "TK" Trying to make something for someone but don't have a clip to measure. Looking for outside diameter, inside diameter, and thickness. Preferably measured with a dial caliper. Thanks in advance.

I've loaded a lot of 45acp over the years, but it's mostly been for training and general shooting. As long as they functioned and shot to POA, I was good with it. I've decided to see what kind of accuracy I can get out of a couple of Kimber Classic Gold Matches and a couple of S&W 625's. I know...

I've been wanting a model 17 for a while. Finally caved and ended up picking up this 17-4 K22 this week. A couple of small blemishes but in good shape overall with box and papers. 6" barrel, target stocks, target hammer, and target trigger.

Not trying to start a flame war, because I believe in individuality and to each their own. So if you love them and they work for you, that's great. But IMO nearly every set of Altamonts I've seen look like overpriced stained plasticized plywood. I just don't get the hype. They look like fake...

Last weekend I picked up a Bergara BMR steel at an LGS It comes with a 5 and 10 round mag, and out of the box the trigger breaks right at 2.5lbs with zero creep. I mounted a Leupold VX-2 6-18x40 and added a Victor Company cheek rest. I got everything together over the past week to take it...

Anyone into shooting .22's with aperture or peep sights? A good friend of mine has a Rem 40x, a Win 52B, and used to have a Win 75. Ever since I first shot his guns several years ago, I've kind of been on the lookout for a target style .22 with aperture sights. Last week I finally picked up a...

Today was youth day in Eastern NC, where kids under 18 can take a deer using archery/muzzleloader/firearm of choice a few weeks before the firearms season opens. My 13 year old has been excited for weeks to get back to hunting. He killed his first deer, a nice 8pt buck, last year in October...

Couple weeks ago I was sipping on some bourbon and surfing gunbroker, and came across something I'd been after for a while. Way back when I was 16, I shot my first 1911. A blued Kimber Gold Match that belonged to my best friends dad. I was instantly in love. Since then I've wanted a Gold Match...

Ever since I sold my old 10-8 heavy barrel, I've been keeping my eyes open for a 4" tapered barrel or a 2" snub Model 10. Prices seem to be all over the place lately, mostly higher than I'd like to pay for examples that are rough overall. I stumbled across this example a little over a week ago...

Picked this up yesterday. 1959 Winchester Model 12 12gauge. At some point the vent-ribbed barrel was shortened and an adjustable Lymanchoke was added. The gun is in decent shape, just really dirty inside. I'm not a fan of those style chokes, so I plan to chop the barrel around 20" and install a...

Posting this thread to help people in the future. Was looking for Faux Ivory Grips for my Cimarron Sheriff's model, I liked the pics I found of Arizona Custom products, but couldn't find much info, even on their own listings. I did message them directly, and they answered all my questions. I...

Picked this up Friday evening. Older Cimarron Sheriff's model with 3 1/2" barrel and 45acp cylinder. Been wanting a shorter barreled SAA replica for a while, and I loved the look of this one. Coloring is nice, and the action/trigger are smooth. Makes a nice companion to my 4 3/4" 357mag I just...

Two of my favorite things I still have a couple pairs of Ahrend's that I need to find revolvers for, but My wife says I need to slow down. Anyone else love Smith's and Ahrend's?

I'm trying to find a source for hardcast 215wfn .452 bullets, preferably coated. I've been buying them from Missouri bullet co, but they aren't even listing them anymore due to high volume of more standard bullets. I like to use them in 45super and 45acp woods loads. Anyone have a line on a...

Anyone here use Power Pistol in 44 magnum loads? I shoot 240gn and usually use Unique for low-mid loads and W296 for top end loads. I have nearly a pound of Power Pistol that I use for 45 acp and some 45 super loads, and it seems like it would work for 44 mag in the 900-1200 fps range, but it's...

I recently aquired a '78 Marlin 1894 in 44 mag. I've found a couple of good loads for it, and while the Buckhorn sights are perfectly useable, I think I'd prefer a peep. I've looked at Williams, Lyman, Skinner, and Ranger point so far. But I'm not sure which one would be best. I'm kind of...

About a year ago I picked up a gun I've been wanting for a while. A 4.75" SAA replica in 357mag. It shoots well, the fit and finish is nice, but I've never liked the grips. They were too "reddish" for me on this gun, and just didn't jive well with the rest of the gun to me. Sometime back around...

Picked this up after work today. 2.75" M69 in 44mag. Changed out the factory grips for some Ahrend's as soon as I got home (I actually bought these grips with this gun in mind when I found out Kim Ahrend was closing up shop) The factory grips were ok but these are so much better. Double action...
