I recently got back an old model 60 that I'd lent to my father probably 30 years ago. The action is gummed up, and firing pin strikes are too light to fire it. Not an ammo problem, as the ammo with firing pin marks work in my buckmark. What's a good way to degum it? If this is the wrong place...

I'm considering getting a new 1911 in .45 acp. Been checking reviews on a Standard Manufacturing and Colt Gold Cup. I used to have a Gold Cup and realize the differences between the two. Same price range, but no adjustable sights on the Standard. Is it possible that the Standard is nice enough...

I just ordered a S&w model 10 from buds. A French police trade in for $269.00 Has anyone seen one of these? I'm hoping for a carried much, fired rarely example.

I've recently been invited to hunt local piggies. My friend says that most shots will be at about 100 yds, so I may need to acquire a rifle to put a scope on. My 60 year old eyes need the help these days. So I'm wondering if anyone has experience with a Ruger American. Looking at a 7mm/08. I...

I'm considering getting an AR type rifle.Two that look interesting are the Ruger 556 and the Smith Sport ll. These are currently listed on Buds for $499.99 which after taxes, shipping and ffl is about all I want to spend. Is one clearly better? I've always been a bolt or lever type, so your...

Stopped by a local shop today to just have a look. Brought home a Keltec .32. Used, but in the box. 2 magazines, and 48 rounds of silvertips. So I guess the prior owner fired it twice. $175.00 out the door

What do you folks think of the Keltec .32? Saw one today for the first time. It's tiny. Seemed fairly well made, and like it would go nicely in a back pocket. Price is right too.

I'm interested in a new Winchester featherweight. Trouble is that they all seem to have that seriously ugly recoil pad. I can't buy something so cosmetically hideous. Is there no option for the red rubber butt pad like my 1980s 30/06 featherweight has?

9x19 is a cartridge that's new to me, and I've no experience reloading for auto pistols. So, can anyone suggest a load using 124 xtp's, and Unique powder. And what c.o.l.? I'm shooting a CZ75 bd. Thanks

I just picked up a new CZ 75b, but haven't had an opportunity to try it out yet. Interested in hearing about opinions/experiences others have had with these pistols.

I've already asked this on the revolver side, but will try here too. I have an old Colt New Service from 1914. It's chambered in .455 Eley. I have some original ammo head-stamped .455 Colt, made by Dominion. I have not, as of now, shot any of it. I have fired Hornady and Fiocci .455 Webly in it...

I have a Colt New Service chambered for .455 Eley. It was produced in 1914, and is in good condition. I've used the Hornady and Fiocci factory .455 Webley ammo, the Hornday is much more accurate. At around $1.25 a round, it's pricey. I have loading data from the '50's showing 3.5-4 grains of...

Much like the guy from Arkansas, I'd like to find a place locally that would like help with a hog problem. I've asked at Deseret Ranch, but they want a ridiculous amount of money for a years lease. Any local folks with ideas?

I've been noticing a few older, damascus barreled, shotguns for sale lately. Mostly of English and French manufacture, with very well-known name brands. A large percentage seem to have 2.5" chambers and relatively reasonable prices. Now, I know lots of folks will jump in and say that all...

I recently got a Pietta 1860 Army. It seems to shoot better than I can see the sights. So, naturally I'm looking for something better. Can anyone suggest where to look for front and rear sights? I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but there has to be a better set up out there. Your ideas are...

Having just aquired an 1860 Colt replica, today I went to get some .454 balls(Hornaday) and #11 caps( CCI Magnum). I already have a pound of FFF 777 powder. Didn't bother to look at the price tags, I mean, how much could they be? Imagine my surprise to find out that caps were $7.95 per hundred...

I've been thinking about a Contender rifle. Is it possible to convert it to a pistol, and back again? Is it legal? And does anyone have personal experience with the rifle version?

About 2 weeks ago, I was the proud winner of an auction on GunBroker for an Old Timer Sharpfinger knife. It was listed as carbon steel, like new. I had one about 25 years ago and loved it. So today my new knife arrives. New in the box, Chinese made, stainless steel. Don't want it, feel ripped...

I have an old Colt New Service(1914), chambered in .455 Eley. Could anyone suggest a good load using original brass and 255 gr cast bullets?

I have a Ruger convertible in .45 Colt/ .45 ACP. I use 255 grain bullets in the Colt cylinder, and would like to use them in the ACP cylinder as well. Can anyone suggest a load that would get close to 850 fps?
