Was shooting the other day, everything fine. But then, with a full clip in the rifle, I pulled the trigger and heard two bangs, super-fast. I pulled the op-rod back and ejected the clip with remaining rounds. After that, I just single-loaded for a while, then tried loading two in the clip...

I'm thinking about building a new upper for an Armalite AR10. Does anyone know a good source for a barrel in .260 Remington. Also, I think that .260 Remington is the same thing as 6.5x08. Is this right? Regards.

Does anyone use lead bullets for the M1 Carbine? Gas checked? Or does the gun require jacketed bullets only? I plan to use it to kill pieces of paper only. If lead is ok, does anyone have a commercial source? LeadHead doesn't have those lightweight .308 bullets on their website. That's...

Detroit and nearby areas were awash with PA plates over the weekend. It's an easy drive from Pittsburgh to here. After the Superbowl win, after collecting on bets, after getting over the hangovers, it's time to get in the cars and head back. On the path from Detroit to Pittsburgh...

Can anyone recommend a deer processing shop in SE Mich? Detroit -Ann Arbor area would be most convenient, but not critical. The last place I used is no longer in business. It's been a few years since I needed one, but I'm thinking positive as the firearms opener approaches. Maybe I'll...

Canadian border guards went on strike yesterday, or just didn't show for work, leaving the job to supervisors. Traffic slowed down between Michigan and Ontario. The border guards are asking to carry guns on the job. They feel that they're at some disadvantage when it comes to pulling over...

I have a bunch of 357 brass, and want .38 Spl rounds. Can I just load the .38 bullet/powder amounts in the longer case? If so, should I make the OAL for 357, or for 38 (pushed a little further into the case)? Any dangers here that I'm not seeing? Thanks

After reading the good answers and posts here and on smith-wessonforum, especially the "sticky" post by Jim March, I took another look at the 568 I was interested in. It is a model 568, no dash. The blue was worn near the muzzle, and a little worn on the cylinder, no big deal there. But the...

Houston TSA folks took lessons from NOPD. Many security inspectors failed to show up for duty at the Houston airport, causing big lines and delays during an evacuation. Maybe they're scouting out good places to loot... They hired some good ones. :rolleyes: Regards.

Ok, I still have no wheel-gun, still dumb and confused - even after some great answers on my first thread. I ran the 586 through the paces in the sticky thread, and it's pretty good. A little fore-to-aft wiggle of the cylinder in full lockup, but other than that, it's solid. Then I saw a...

I saw a S&W 586 for sale. It seemed in good shape, thought didn't run through all the paces in the sticky post. About a 4" barrel, blued finish. What is this thing? K-frame, N-frame? Are they generally a quality model? I know nothing about revolvers. I couldn't fine a 586 on S&W's...

How do you remove & replace the bolt on the K-31? What else is involved in routine field-strip & cleaning? I'm going shopping, and like to remove the bolt to look through the bore before I buy. Thanks

Does anyone reload for the Swiss K-31 rifle? I think it's a 7.5x55 cartridge, but haven't seen any 7.5mm bullets. Or, do people just use a 7.62 and hope it squeezes through the pipe? Is brass available? Thanks

Is replacing a firing pin on a Winchester 1894 a do-it-yourself project? I know it's easy on most military guns, but haven't dismantled a lever gun. Thanks

If you have your CCW, don't pull a gun and point it at someone in a gridlock traffic jam. Your escape route may be limited. :) Anyway, here's one doofus likely to lose that CCW, and likely to be an example to be used by anti's. Regards. Link to story

What are S.659 and S.1805? I wrote my senators about adding amendments to S.659. Now I'm seeing references to S.1805, which to me seems to be the same thing. What are these two pieces of legislation. I'm confused. (I expect my notes to fall on the deaf ears of Sens Stabenow and...

At a state-run range a few days ago, there were a bunch of folks zeroing their rifles in time for deer firearms season. There was also a swarm of "lady beetles", sort of a ladybug with an attitude. Someone would shoot a round, look through the spotting scope, and not be able to tell which...

Ok, he's not the guv. But he didn't drop out, and his votes could have caused problems for Arnold. So, is he in deep doodoo with the Cal Republican party? Never to be heard from again? Or does he still have support for the next race for guv, assuming Arnold gets bored with the job and...
