I acquired what I think is a Pennsylvania long rifle last week. The rifle is pretty well worn but I did make out the last for raised letters of manufacturer, "BURGH". The one thing that puzzles me is it has a percussion hammer instead of the flintlock. I can see the slots where the pan and...

They're not a huge company but I was wondering if anyone has any of their sidewinder 30 on their rifle, particularly mounted on the m1a. The one I have, (not mounted yet), has a ranging knob and I'm curious if this is accurate. and finally the quality of the scope in all weather conditions.

I had the opportunity to shoot a Barrett last Sunday at 300yds, (sorry we don't have a 3 mile range). The boss took it out to see how it did in really strong crosswinds gusting to 40~45mph. It didn't even phase it. Shooting it is no worse than a 12ga for the shooter, however the spotter behind...

I had my right cataract remove/replace on 03/09 and managed to finally get to the range this morning. I can actually see the bull from the 300yd range! without glasses. Two months ago I couldn't see the target at 25'. It's kind of weird too. I don't need glasses on my right eye, everything is...

Been having more and more trouble seeing targets and sight alignment the past couple of months, (came on really fast). It got so I couldn't even the bull at 25', everything was white. I got to the doctor last Tues and found out I have cataracts in both eyes, right eye being worse than the left...

Can someone please explain what the difference is between .45 Colt and .45 Long Colt. I think "long colt" came from the good 'ol days from the military to keep the shorter .45 Scofield from being mixed up with the .45 colt. The reason I ask is I have a number of .45 colt and .45 LC...

I've been to some of the gun sites checking on M1A pricing but am trying to get a realistic idea on what I could expect to pay for an M1A with less than 100 rounds put through it. There is no FFL , shipping, or tax issues. Thanks

I was thinking about picking some up for handguns, but there's hardly any data on it. (at least in my reference manuals). It just seem that a powder that's been around since 1913 I'd see more load data, and from what I've read it's a pretty fast powder. My ref: Hornady 7th ED, Speer, Alliant...

Because of the shortage of primers around here, I've been buying them as I find them, I guess it would be called hoarding, but I run out by the time spring shows up. The question I have what is the primary difference between match primers and magnum primers. I know about reducing loads for...

I have a 1lb can of Accurate No. 5 double base that I've had for about a year, (unopened) and I'm wondering if anyone has ever used it. The Accurate load manual for GAP states: 185gn SIE JHP 6.9gn, 866fps min, and 7.7 894fps max. I've never used No.5 before and am wondering if anyone uses it...

From the Columbus Dispatch today: http://www.dispatch.com/ I totally disagree with the last paragraph. As predictable as any "community Liaison officer", they white wash a lot, The North side I Columbus is a mini war zone, and has been since they shut down Northland mall.

I found this on govdeals.com. It looks like they're from the local PD range since the city is selling them. http://www.govdeals.com/eas/itmDisplay.cfm?itemID=66&acctID=2116 I'm not sure if the link works but in case it doesn't you can pull up the web site I listed, then under advanced select...

Came across this on GSA this morning. http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/ At the top of the page in the search box type in "PA". Hit the enter key and it'll pull every thing up for PA, about 10 entries. The auction ends today and you have to be a dealer. Its about 1250 lbs, and...

From what I've read it get rid of the ugly bulge, but you still need to resize. The major reloading I do is .40SW range brass but I'm not sure this die is worth messing with. http://www.redding-reloading.com/pages/grxpushthru.html

I came across a Stevens 77 12ga shotgun (actually a Savage) and am looking for a blowout of it so I can break it down an clean it. I couldn't find the serial number any where on it and would like to some some history on it. It has an adjustable choke but I can't get off. It's also got a lot of...

I'm thinking about buying a used 30-30 lever gun for 300.00 at a local pawn shop. I checked the bore and it's not pitted but I am wondering about its age. The barrel is stamped "JC Penny Co". I don't have any more information than that right now. I am driving back over this afternoon and get...

I'm looking for information on what looks like an old S&W revolver. It's chrome plated, 5 shot with black grips, and breaks open to eject cartridges. It has the S&W logo on the side, with very small printing on the ridge, "Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass.". the rest of the printing looks like...

Can I get some feedback from anyone reloading the 460SW mag round. The primary use will be for target at 150'. From what I've read you have a pretty wide choice of bullets but I'm not sure of the best bullet/powder combination. The shooting will be for targets and accuracy only using a 46XVR...

Recently over the past few months I seen quite a few 229's, 9mm at the range and I'm extremely impressed with the accuracy. In every case, different shooters at the range with different styles of shooting were getting consistent 2~4 patterns at the 25' target ranges. At first while watching...

My earmuffs ended up smoking the batteries after 3 yrs of use and am looking for another set. Problem is there's about a million different kinds out there. I can't use the foam plugs because I have hear what's going on at the range firing line and I sure as hell can't afford the those 500.00...
