A chance to use the .44 mag for deer last week, my own handload using a 265 gr ftx bullet. Was a "walker" to help move deer, but an opportunity presented itself for a shot at 70 yards. Used a bipod to rest the pistol from kneeling.

Opportunity to hunt in some Michigan orchards, walk and stalk. One round and dropped with a neck shot at approx 220 yards. STG58 Fal variant.

Recently acquired a CZ-83 in .32, manufactured in the early 90's before the rollmark was changed on the slide. After the required shooting/adjusting the sights, it was time to learn how to field-strip and clean it. The tricky spring is the "slide stop retainer spring", easy to dislodge when you...

Was shown this at the lgs, found in the lining of an old gun case. looks to be 12 gauge in diameter, roughly 12-15" long, threaded for a receiver and has flats for using a tool to install. The muzzle end also has a hole drilled for a bead sight to be installed. Aged patina overall, smooth bore...

As the title states, I'm looking for feedback about this rifle. Been reading various reports online, to include limited factory ammo options, gonna reload for it anyhow. Hence my interest in the bolt action rather than the AR platform, plus the Scout offers iron/peep sights as a standard...

I just picked up a Standard Mod 8 with factory checkering, ran the serial # and found it to be made in 1910. Good solid shape with user wear but not abused for it's age. I have one box of vintage .35 Rem ammo from my stash, need to find some brass for another reloading project. Did a horsetrade...

Did a horse trade at the (LGS) local gun store, he had a personally owned A3 sitting in the back room. Decided to let it go cause it's not correct, a previous bubba had touched it. It had been fitted with a scope at one time which means the receiver was tapped at the chamber, the rear sight...

What am I missing, I pulled the "pivot pin" but what else is holding the sight in place? Do I need to depress the leaf underneath it, or is there a roll pin that has to be driven out. Bought the Accumount scope base to put in place of the elevated sight.

Just a humorous look at runnin. I can run on the road for fitness, or run down to the local store in my truck to get some groceries. When did it become vogue to run a gun, I must have missed something over the past few years in terminology. Just like everyone became an "operator" overnight, did...

I got the idea to make some varmint rounds for my FAL rifle, was gonna use Hornady 110gr V-max for this. Need to know that with the pointed polymer tip, that these will cycle/feed into the chamber without any problem. Has anyone any experience with these?, or is there a comparable bullet that...

After reading so many posts here and elsewhere about ammo shortages , it still amazes me that more people do not start reloading. I am a small time reloader that started around 6 years ago, and do around a dozen calibers as I need them. My supplies are usually 3-5 thousand primer of each type I...

I have a cartridge here in Afghanistan that is the new M855A1 green bullet, meaning lead free bullet. Has anyone seen these bullets on the reloading scene? I did read a posting on another site of a person who found a bag of bullet at a gunshow. What I'm looking for is a retail outlet for the...

For me it was from attending gun shows in Illinois when small, looking at all the greasy guns. Of course could not buy them then, time in the army and then the young family thing kept money tight. Finally did buy a correct JC #5 in the late 80's for $140, that started my collection. Some people...

Can anyone tell me if this show is still being held, was always at the Princeton Illinois (Putnam County) fair grounds. A regular show for years in the area, a decent variety of guns. As a youngster it was .50 to get in and then up to a dollar last time I attended around 1999/2000. Does anyone...

Are there any owner/shooters of this rifle here? Got a decent deal on mine about 2 years ago, rifle and 1000 rnd,s of .223/5.56 for $300. If ya dont know, its the Norinco made civilian version of their AK just after the Clinton Ban in the early 90,s. Norinco got around the "evil features" by...

Hate to ask cuz I have the Big Book of Smith at home, but I,m not near home at the moment. A snubbie with D26 over 54205 on the crane when ya flip out the cylinder, 4D174XX on the serial #. Just need the mod# and aprox year, no pic cuz its at my sisters house. Belonged to our dad, I gave it to...

This is a pic of my oldest from last year, went to the range. I had created a good recipe for the MAS 49/56, checking it out at the range for function. So I put in a 10 round mag so she could shoot it, told her to put 6 in the center and 4 in the head. Around 150 yards, so I guess that makes her...

C.O.W.S. Leather Here is an option for shoulder carry for a large gun. These people are out of El Paso, TX, a small place of 25 workers and family owned, of course the leather products are made on site. They make stuff for the cowboy shooter crowd plus a line of stuff for the Ruger line. I...

Been gone for a couple years from this site but am back, I,m nobody special but I do like the older N frame Smiths. This is an early no dash from 55, bought it for $300 around 9 years ago. Had it lettered to find out about the engraving, no luck. Posted on an engraving site and a man identified...

What are you paying for the new Sterling machine pistols in your part of the U.S.?, are you seeing them on the market yet. michigan classes them as a pistol cuz of overall length with the stock folded so we have to register it as such if purchased. They are a new make of the old britsh sten...
