I'm talking about this pistol here... Steyr Mannlicher M9-A1, 9x19mm or .40S&W: I was groping one at Gander Mountain last night and I liked the feel of it. It pointed well and fit my hand superbly. The trigger was great and the trigger reset distance for follow up shots was insanely...

I saw on Mossberg's website they have a "new" lever action rifle available: the 464. It currently lists .30-30 as the only available caliber with more calibers to be available in the future. Does anyone currently own a Mossberg lever action rifle in any caliber? How do you like it? I'd...

I'm not a small frame pistol type of guy, so I am considering the Glock 20. For those that have used/carried a full size Glock, what are the pros and cons of this weapon? I've shot 9mm and .40cal glocks, but never the large frame (grip) models. Please, no "they're ugly" or "Glocks are...

...because they are freakin' priced like they do. What has been up with Springfield Armory these last couple of years? I bought my 5" tactical XD45 two years ago for $520 out the door and now they can't be had for less than $600 new. The new XD(M) two-tone model sells for $749 in Bass...

For those of you in the central Florida area, heed this warning. I’ve been buying ammunition from an independent ammunition company named Space Coast Bullets in Melbourne, Florida. They are located off of Dow road in that industrial area. I’ve purchased from them for about a year now to fill my...

I am going to refinish the stock on my Tranditions (Fausti) O/U shotgun. It has some nice grain patterns that would look great with a nice oil finish. So, questions: 1. There does not appear to be much in the way of a finish on the wood now, but what cleaners/solvents should I use on the...

For some reason unknown to me, I misplaced the screw that holds the trigger spring/sear in place and I can't find it. The other action screws are the same size and appear to be a M6.5-0.8x10 or 12mm. Is this right? A M6 is too small and a M7 is too large. Should I just drill and tap the...

I held out long enough. Weather had been poor for picture takin'. It was good this evening though: And for comparison...:D Nice rifle for sure. I got the trigger adjusted down to minimum and it feels pretty darn nice. -Jason

Well, I decided to lighten the trigger pull on the PBR, but when I pulled the action out of the stock, I realized the adustment nuts on the trigger spring assembly were well-covered in some kind of epoxy or something of the like. Does anyone know that has this rifle how to get this crap off...

Here is my bullet list: 70gr Nosler ballistic tip boat tail 72gr Barnes Varminator (HP) 87gr Hornady V-Max 105gr Hornady A-Max I have some loads for the 70gr Noslers and the 105gr A-Max, but I am short on loads for the remainder. I've found some 87gr V-Max loads on sites like...

I ordered the barreled FN action and Hogue stock from CDNN last week and picked it up yesterday. So far I am impressed. I have never bought a rifle like this (separate of the stock) or for such a price for a product like an FN rifle so I was a little skeptical about the condition it would...

I picked up a box of these for a good price and thought I would give them a try. I do not own a Barnes loading manual and I am having trouble finding a load to begin with for this bullet. I currently have Varget and IMR4895 on hand for my .243. If anyone has any load data for this, please...

So basically, ballistic tips versus the whole of the soft point community... Which do you feel is better; more accurate, etc.? I would think that if the ballistic tip was manufactured symetrical that it would be the superior round, but show me the light if I am in the dark on this. -Jason

I've got a .243 that I am about to begin hand loading for. I will have about 40 casings from factory ammo to load, but I see reloadable boxer primes .308 casings all over the range a lot. Is it possible for me to just gather up .308 casings and heat up the neck/shoulder area and run them...

Tonight for the past two hours I have been reading numerous sites about reading and utilizing mil dots in rifle scopes. After all the reading, I understand how they work and how you read them, I think. Let me state my confusion: Lets say I am shooting my .243 at a 10" tall (at the shoulder)...

The trigger is horrible, but the rest of the gun is sweet. Is this something I could do myself (I have a high aptitude for mechanical things and I am very patient and meticulous with my work on such things) or something a smith should do? I can live with the weight of the trigger, but the...

Hey everyone. I'm new to the forum and I've posted a few times in other parts of THR. I have begun kicking around the idea of creating my own wildcat round. The specifics of which have not been decided upon yet, but I do know some general things I will need. Firstly, I am fairly certain...
