Hello...so I might have figured something out tonight...maybe a flash of brilliance...maybe not. So I'm going over in my head why newer S&Ws aren't recessed...then it comes to me...is it because the recessing was part of the hammer mounted pin system? Pinned barrels went away for a cheaper...

Hello all, The revolver bug is starting to burrow under my skin again, and I have really been putting off this purchase for a while due to its ridiculous cost, but... Can someone school me on the current production Colt SAAs? Anyone purchased one recently? Or was it a family heirloom? I've...

Just picked up my newest addition to my collection, a S&W "classic collection" 40-1 in Blue. I love that its a new production centennial. I love the metal to metal fit and deep blue finish. I'm not so sure about that grip...this is my first j-frame and me and that grip are not getting...

Hey Y'all this is a multi-part question, feel free to jump in on any part you know about. The first two are a California dealie in case you free-staters don't know, its the seccond two I could use help with here. 1) I have been keeping my eyes open for a small pocket .38, preferably a...

Hey y'all, Took the 'ol Kimber Gold Match out for a spin with its 3 new Wilson 47D's...not one problem in 100 rounds. And I learned something today, I really have a hard time shooting with standard 1911 panels, I've tried it with the stock rosewood, with some grip tape along the front for some...

Heya all, Quick question about a Marlin 336, or maybe just levers in general. So I cleaned it, lubed it, put it all back together, am working the action, look down and my pinky is bleeding right on the center of the cuticle. I can't really find a sharp corner on the lever, but any...

Hey y'all, quick question about the 30-30 ammo at Wal-Mart. I pick up my 336W on Wed, and am making a excursion up to Wal-Mart to pick up some ammo. IIRC they had about 5-7 different types (Remmy & WWB 150 & 170, JHP & etc.) I had planned on just picking up 2 boxes of each and seeing which...

Hello, for any of you familiar with laser sights please help me out on this. I just got some CTGrips for my 226, and shot with them and like them, but one question about the range setting. This is a primarily HD gun as I don't carry, they are factory set for 50' (about 16.7 yards) but the...

Hey all, as the title says I need some scope mounting help. My front sight on my Ruger 10/22 Fell off, and I want to shoot it while that part is on order. found a scope on Midway that I find right around my price range of $19 as they are still giving me a birthday discount ($3, but every $3...

Hello all, besides shooting I as a student of History enjoy learning. There is one handgun caliber that has a very hazy past, and that (you already know by now if you read the title. ;)) is the 10mm. Here is a sampling in no particular order of what I know or have heard about them: a) I...

Hey all, you've all been so supportive with all my stupid lever-questions. I had been eying the 336A at Big 5 for $399, but then the 336W went on sale this week at Turners for $379. For all you people that have $329 336A's at Wal-Mart, our Wal-Marts do not carry rifles, so this is about the best...

Hi all, As the title indicated I am starting to look for a small revolver. I don't want to turn this into a brand vs. brand thread. What I am more interested in is the caliber. I really enjoy the versatility of .357s. But that 642 is a tempting price, though I have never considered...

O.k. you've all helped me get to this point on choosing a make, caliber, model of lever action. So heres where I am at, the little stupid things. 1) As this will be mostly a paper shootin fun gun the stock is not crucial to my happiness. So if I do end up with a 336A, how crucial is not...

Hello all! Well its been 4 months and I finally got off my duff and snapped some pics of my 686, enjoy. Being a little slow in the head I didn't realize till I was editing these that the 7-Up box looks cool with the 7-Shot Smith. :) RFB P.S. Even more than the 17 coats of Mothers Mag...

Hello all, if you're like me you love hearing about other people shooting at the range. So, I just got back from putting 150 rounds through my Kimber Gold Match that recently had some Factory TLC performed on it...and it was great! I can almost say better than new! In fact I can say better than...

Hello all, is there some secret technique I am not aware of for performing a press check? When I picked up my new SIG 226 CA requirements made me load/unload and perform a press check. The dealer had me with my left thumb and curved forefinger grip the partially pulled back slide from under the...

Hello all, Kind of a weird request for a holster huh? The reason I want them to be cheap is I live in California, don't carry, don't compete, am not allowed to draw from a holster at my local ranges. I pretty much want a holster for my two autos (Kimber Classic Gold Match/Sig 226r) to...

Hello all, I pretend to know a little bit about firearms, but no doubt many of you here have forgotten more than I know about 1911s. So the query is: I own a Kimber Classic Gold Match 1911, and both from shooting a pre-war WWII 1911, watching documentaries and Magnum PI intros I know that my...

O.k. so I'm dry firing my new 50th anniv. flattop with some snap caps, and all of a sudden the hammer won't pull back, its locked up with the hammer down. So I think that I have the first Ruger internal lock malfunction ever, maybe the internal lock? Open the gate and the cylinder rotates fine...

Hi everybody! Just got back from picking up my Ruger 50th Anniversary .44Mag and the older owner happened to be in the shop and I mentioned it was my first .44Mag and he mentioned that He had owned the original flat top, and proceeded to show me a scar on the web of his hand from where the...
