Marlin did its run of 38/55's at .380 groove diameter for a majority of the rifles. As cast boolits must be .0005 to .001 over groove diameter for best accuracy and little leading, this is a problem, because there aren't many companies offering those boolits. I've found Rimrock, though they're...

Do modern semi auto handguns still need a function break in? I had a discussion about this with a couple gunny friends of mine. They both asserted today a semi auto handgun does not need a break-in, and would be concerned if a new gun from a modern manufacturer had a hiccup with function. They...

You may recall the thread about Midway's flier, the 'regular bullet prices' listed inside which were not the actual prices at time of sale- even though the flier had just arrived. Some prices had risen 30% or so. It was a shock and I couldn't understand why my go-to place for reloading was...

I went to order a Christmas splash of reloading components from Midway today, and included were two boxes of 500 count 41 and 45 cal bullets from Oregon Trail. The prices listed were the same for two months running- November's and Decembe's flyers, 46.99 for the 45 cal 250 grainers. "Nope," The...

Yep. That's the discussion. A man I like and respect believes so much in the 40 that the 41 and 44 mags just aren't as good at stopping bad guys. Guess why? Because all that extra power just zips through and is wasted. I feel a little like the bureacrat who just lowered the LA Police...

That's pretty much it. The new American Rifleman issue features both the proposed new cartridge and that HK and another investment group were developing the XM8, the prototype platform of our military modular rifle. I do not intend this question to become an argument about Germany or...

All you guys and (gals) who carry the large hunting or self defense revolvers, especially in the fields, desert, woodlands and mountains, how do you like carrying it? I personally take my 4" 58 or 57 with me most of the time. Or the 45 Colt BlkHk in 4 5/8th" barrel. I've carried the Rugers...

I've a few thoughts on this subject, and with modern firearm introductions changing the market- like the Smith 500 and 460, proprietary 475 Linebaugh, thought I'd air this out and see what other's think. First, my own personal prejudices are that a handgun is never going to be a rifle. It...

I've never owned a traditional revolver, single or double action, that was longer than 7 1/2" I'm slowly saving my pennies for a Ruger Super Redhawk in .480 I'm toying with the idea of the longer barrel. The recoil on the 480 isn't bad with a 7 1/2", the longer tube will soften it further. A...

Which is better? Always wanted an M1A, and when I finally got one, it was as if a part of "Home" had come back. I've owned, and/or shot most of the others of this type=.308 military style rifles. The FNFAL is enjoying a honeymoon right now with American shooters. They're attractively...

When I sign on to the High Road, I always check to see how many people are in the Revolver forum and how many handgunners are in the Semi-auto forum. Every time I've looked in the last week, the Semi-Auto forum has TWICE as many viewers as does the Revolver forum. Some questions for the...

I screwed up a set of grips on my model 57. I kept taking off wood and taking off and went too far. ( I like removing material and taking the angle off the square of the grip) I'd like two more sets to play with. They used to be plentiful when Smith switched to Round exclusively but the...

I've spent quite a few hours trying to find out more about a 386 Hunter AK I own marked Valley Guns, LA. (Los Angeles) It is the type one Hunter, but does not say Norinco Hunter 90 on the reciever. It only has the 386 Polytech mark. I got it from a private source that absolutely swears...

On the Revolver portion of the High Road's program, a gentleman has written in a thread that he is a semi auto fan, but his favorite handgun right now is a revolver. Well, the same thing has happened to me, only I'm a revolver nut whose favorite handgun right now is a Colt Delta Elite enhanced...

OK, This summer through enemy territory and hostile environs I took with me to my bunker in Montana a nearly new Colt Delta Elite, with box and three mags. This cost 600 bucks from a good friend. I now own the, "best semi auto handgun cartridge I never owned." As a extra dividend, the...

I mean, wasn't the ghost of Skeeter supposed to fly over me? I never owned an older Smith. This is my first recessed chamber experience. Sorry I can't post picts. The blueing is great, would be near the top 98% except the former owner got SANDPAPER PARTICLES ON HIS CLEANING CLOTH...

My seven year old has a dominant left eye, but is right handed. He can switch hit at baseball but cannot throw with his left hand very well- just his right. He draws and writes with his right- This summer is going to be the time to introduce him to a .22 rifle. But now I'm perplexed...

Yep, birthday present and anniversary present to my wife, took it to the fields today and it failed to fire with new box of CCI minimag 22 lr. It had been a display model. (had I been there at point of sale it would not have been) The clerk had difficulty in turning the stupid mandated...

My wife just bought one. That's right, no research, wanted small, liked the weapon and got it. She do good? She do OK? She throw in river? munk

Forgive me - this is probably not new to many of you. Yesterday I got a note from the Firing Line that they're starting up again. I was curious as to how that would affect the membership of the High Road. There's gotta be room for two great Forums. Anyway, if anyone could supply any...
