I can find little information on these firearms. Any idea of how many commercial carbines were made ? I know of the USID issued, but can't find a number of commercial carbines produced. TIA ! Btw it's in 45/70....

Can anyone identify this Lyman sight ? It has a patent date of June 25 95 on it. Neat little sight.

Does anyone know if this rifle was converted by the factory to sporter configuration or was it built originally as a sporter ? It has a .318 bore if that helps. There are no markings on the rifle except the SN, 21, which is on the barrel shroud, barrel, receiver, and other major parts. No sign...

My two cents: NRA should take the lead in promoting common sense gun safety. Persuasion, not legislation. I'd rather see them spend my donations on commercials promoting safe handling of firearms than sponsering NASCAR races.

I'm looking for an adapter that allows you to mount a modern scope on the older style "Unertl type" blocks. I've seen them online but can't seem to find one now. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it !

Lost the detent ball on my Rock River Arms rear sight windage knob. I see Brownells offers several sizes. Anyone know what size RRA uses for the NM model ? TIA !

Looking for an adjustable (windage and elevation) rear sight for a Ruger SR 1911. I believe I read somewhere that the Ruger has the same rear dovetail as a Colt Gold Medal, but can't confirm this. Asked Ruger, but no response yet. Anyone know for sure what rear sights out there will fit ? TIA !

Got started in BP shooting last year and used a trapdoor. Although I got it to shoot pretty good I was a notch below the top shooters. I ran into the owner of the new Providence Tool Co at a gunshow, and since it's only 20 miles from me decided to order one . It is a Peabody action and is in...

Anyone have any feedback on this rifle in 38/55 ? How accurate it is, bore diameter, et cet. I've been looking for a target rifle in 38/55 and this just might fill the bill if it's a good shooter.

My club has been holding 200 yard "Buffalo Gun" matches. Only rules are that you shoot 38/55 or 45/70, cast lead. Shooting is off hand and prone or sitting with sticks. Targets are metal chickens/rams and paper targets. Rounds are single loaded, slow fire. I have been shooting a trapdoor, but it...

Save those empty popcorn cans that come out around Christmas, the type with the three compartment divider. You can use them for holding your spent brass at the range. One compartment for 45,another 30-06, or whatever. I also use them when prepping bulk brass.

After trying at least a dozen loads I finally got one to work with my 1888 trapdoor ! Don't remember what site I got it off (Might have been here), but thanks to whoever it was. My groups went from bad to awfull (some over 2 feet at 200 yards) until I found this load. 13 gr of trailside under a...

I'm thinking of getting a Pedersoli 1863 Sharps and am looking for an online source of information on shooting this and BP in general. I have ZERO knowledge/experience with BP. Anyone reccomend a site ? TIA !

I also got the bug to get a trench gun. Didn't have the $$ to buy a genuine and did not want the Norinco so I built my own. I bought the Numrich bayonette lug and bayonette to put on a cut down Winchester. Got the magazine cap off GB. Rear sling swivel off an old Mauser. Only thing is the barrel...

With a Republican Gov, Senate, and legislature it should be a slam dunk. My state rep won't answer emails about it. We were told it would be introduced after the swearing in and so far NOTHING !

Getting set for the CMP rifle matches and am going to build a range cart as my previous cart fell short. If you have any photos of your cart please post so I can borrow some ideas. TIA !

A friend of mine has three spam cans of WW2 45 ACP ammo, imported from Russia(your 1943 tax dollars at work). He thinks there are around 750 rounds/can. He is an older person and does not use the internet and is trying to sell them locally. Does this have any collector value ? What would be a...

In order to attract younger shooters into high power rifle, the NRA has changed the nomenclature for classifications. They are as follows: OLD Classification Name:............................... Changed to: Marksman ...

Went to Cabela's and Varget down to $22.50/pound and 75 gr Hornady .224 bullets $14.00/100. That's $2.50 lower for powder, $3.00 lower for bullets. Primers down a buck/1000. Still a ways to go though !

Ever since I bought it I never had much luck getting a used Palma rifle to shoot well. Best I could do was just under 2 MOA. I tried different powders and weights, overal length, even commercial Palma Ammo. Took it to the range today and brought the wrong ammo, my 308 Garand handloads, and...
