    NE Ohio gunsmith?

    Greetings! I've got an old Columbia single barrel 12ga that needs some help. It's a family heirloom, but still shoots well. The problem is that the tapered pin that holds the forend/barrel assembly to the reciever has worn to the point that there is noticable lateral play. Can anyone...

    trapshooting gun opinions

    Greetings! I've been interested in trapshooting for a few years now. It has been an expensive interest as I've tried several different guns to get the one that fit me. I've been through a Win 1300 20ga 24"(?), a FN TPS 12ga 18.5" (don't ask), a Browning Citori 20ga 28", and a Browning...

    Ruger 45acp question

    Did Ruger ever make the Vaquero in 45LC/45acp with a birdshead grip? I'd like such a thing, even more so the Sheriff's model with the 3-3/8" barrel, but have never seen one. Anybody know about Ruger single actions and care to enlighten me? 'alp

    Garand - McCann Adjustable Gas System questions

    Greetings! I just received my adjustable gas system from McCann and would like to ask for input from the forum. Is there a correlation somewhere between powder burn rate (and/or standard commercial ammos) and appropriate gas jet? Or is a truly trial and error process? What methods have...

    Cleaning a Garand after shooting corrosive ammo

    Greetings all! I recently picked up a Garand and LOTS of KA headstamp ammo. I realize the ammo is corrosive or at least is likely enough to be corrosive to be treated that way. I have read that Windex is a good first step in cleaning out the corrosive primer salts, prior to a standard...

    Beretta S55 opinions?

    Does anyone on this esteemed panel know much about a Beretta S55? The one in question is a 12ga O/U, 28", modified and improved chokes (fixed), 2.75" chamber, mid to late 1960s vintage. Would this be a decent clay gun (skeet, trap, etc)? I'm looking to upgrade my father into a decent SG...

    Help me out here

    Help me spend some money. I'm looking at upgrading my HD shotgun. I've currently got a 28"? 20-ga Win 1300 and want to move up to a 12-ga. I really like the 1300 platform AND I have a Knoxx stock and a c-more on it take I really like (and that allows my wife to use as well). I'm looking...

    beltman question

    So I've done a lot of homework and I've narrowed the huge list down to beltman. Help me spend some money. I'm trying to decide between the bullhide and horsehide. Now, I like a stiff belt as my normal rig is a Wilderness 1.5" 5-stitch belt. (The desire for a good leather belt arises...

    Mustang grips fit

    Don't know if this should be here, or in the 'smithing section.... Just picked up a old (unused) set of Mustang black walnut oil finished combat grips for my S&W 19-3 (2.5" barrel, ca. 1975). Nice grips, in original box, still wrapped in 1976 newspaper! Having never fit a new set of wood...

    peep sights

    Anyone ever mount a peep sight on a revolver? I'm interested in options for my Smith model 17. I can't use optics or red-dot in the league I shoot in. I've got the factory adjust. sights but am wondering what else is out there in the iron sight category. Suggestions?
