I am visiting my parents and we shot my muzzleloading rifle. Since I moved away, I do not plan to shoot it again for at least a year, possibly many years. I shoot black powder and patched round balls. My system involves using liberal amounts of Bore Butter bullet lube which lets me shoot...

Sighted in the 6mm remington at 400 yards today. No wind at all, but temperatures in the mid '30s (F). How much can I expect my point of impact to change when I use the rifle in the summer?

What's the most powerful CO2-powered BB/Pellet gun? I was thinking about making a BB gun that took a CO2 tank from a paintball gun, and paintball parts. But then I realized that since BBs are so much smaller in diameter than paintballs, then there might not be enough pressure to get good...

I'm looking at buying a new shotgun, and trying to decide on whether to go 20guage or 12guage. I had been leaning toward 20guage simply for cheaper ammunition. When I bought my XD I got a 9mm instead of 40 strictly because 9mm is cheaper, and haven't regretted it once. But after looking at...

I'm sure this topic has been done before, but Academy has a sale with Remington 870 express for $199.99, and Mossberg 500 (synthetic) for $149.99. My family has always had 870s and Mossbergs feel 'cheap' to me. However I really like the tang safety on the mossbergs, and as far as I know the...

I recently got into reloading, and people told me that for the most part, buying the Lee collet neck sizer die should be fine, since for bolt actions full-length resizing is not necessary. However we've loaded a hundred rounds or so now, and noticed that sometimes the bolt is hard to shut...

My dad (who lives far away) has a 6mm remington that he can't get ammo for. So for father's day, I bought some reloading stuff. He now has a rock chucker supreme, powder scale, bullet puller, Lee collet die set, chronograph, tumbler, and calipers. I sent the stuff to him through the mail and...

I'm buying my dad some stuff for father's day. He has a 6mm remington which is an amazing rifle but nobody makes varmint loads for it anymore. So, I was going to buy him a rockchucker supreme, and dies. He already has a tumbler, powder scale, and bullet puller, and calipers. I'm looking at...

Last week I had dropped the wife off at church and went to do a little bit of running around. Having a bit of time to kill, a broke out the longboard for a quick loop around the park. As is common, I managed to take a rather standard tumble, which would have been completely unmentionable but...

I loaded it up to see how heavy it was and all the rounds fell out of the bottom, along with the mag spring and follower. The plastic magazine floorplate broke. Kel-Tec is sending me a new one. I think I'll epoxy it on when I get it.

Is it time to stop appealing to the doctrine of 'law abiding'? Is it time to stop denouncing 'criminals'? Without getting too Randian, we are at the point where everyone breaks the law. There now needs to be a disconnect between 'criminal' and 'bad', now that there are some heavy-duty crimes...

Of course gunscrubber seems to be like 8 bucks a can. I'd like to use the 99 cent carbureter cleaner from the local auto parts store, but I can't stand the thought of it melting my guns...they all seem to say 'avoid plastic or rubber'. Does anyone have any experience using solvents other than...

I think I want some slim grips for my 45. Apparently you have to install some thinner bushings to install them. Is this a job for the shadetreer or are special tools involved? Why can't I just file down the bushings that are on it now?

What factors influence bullet seating depth? Do you just roll with a particular distance off the lands, or does this depend on the gun itself or other factors?

I'm looking for a comfortable and concealable, preferably tuckable IWB for a M&P9 and maybe a 1911 in the future. I have a High Noon Split Decision that I bought back when holsters for the MP were more scarce. It gets the job done, but it's not very comfortable nor sturdy in either a...

I'm going to buy my dad a decent binocular for Father's day. He's never had even a half-decent set. He uses them for groundhog hunting. I can only afford 100 or maybe 200 dollars.

With the new summer heat, my daily carry M&P9c started rusting. First on the end of the recoil spring guide, which I cleaned up, and now on the takedown lever, which won't come off. I clean it at least a couple times a week because I have to take it apart to clean all the pizza flour out of it...

I don't really know much about reloading. I've been going to get into handloading so that I can afford to shoot my .45s. I've been told to get a Dillon 550 so that I can reload a good volume in a reasonable amount of time. My dad also has beanfield rifles that need fed, in .223, 22-250...

Is there common locally available material I could use? JB weld? Bondo?

My safety and slide stop plunger tube thing is loose. I can see how it is screwed on, but it seems I'm going to have to buy an allen wrench and grind it down so that I can get it in the frame to tighten the screws. Does anyone know what size allen wrench I need to get it right the first time?
