    Looking for a 45 cal lever gun

    I just picked up an Old Model Vaquero in .45Colt and wanted a companion for it. I got the Old Model because it will handle the Ruger only loads. Should I expect that any lever action rifle will also handle them?

    Question about shipping a shotgun to Belize

    A good friend of mine who owns property in Belize has just been granted a permit to own a shotgun there. He has no idea of what he needs to do to get it there, and his airline (Continental) has been no help at all. Does anyone here have any advice?

    A wedge remover

    I was cleaning my '51 Navy and didn't have the piece of antler that I usually use to tap the wedge out handy, so I used the rim on a 30-06 case I had handy. Worked great. Just thought I'd pass it on.

    Scope mounting question

    I recently acquired a Simmons 44 mag 4-12 X 44 scope and want to mount it on my Savage 110, which already has a Bushnell Sportview mounted on it. I know I'll need higher mounts for the Simmons, but my question is how do I figure out which ones will give the correct spacing for the scope tube...

    Single shot .22 info needed

    I'm going to teach my 11 y.o. nephew to shoot and I'd like to pick up a decent single shot .22. IRRC somebody made a single shot Martini or falling block action (I think) .22. Wish I could remember the name of it but I seem to be having a brain fart. If anybody out there remembers, or has any...

    Source for 2nd Amendment Info

    I just found this site: https://www.law.ucla.edu/volokh/2amteach/sources.htm by Eugene Volokh, a UCLA law professor and authority on the 2nd Amendment. It is one of the most comprehensive articles I've ever seen, with legal opinions, state and federal constitutions, and English common law...

    What the heck did I buy?

    And does anyone want it? I just received my last purchase from Evilbay and it turns out that the old guy who ordered it (me) didn't pay close enough attention to the item description. I assumed I was bidding on a cylinder for a '58 Remmie, although the listing just stated it was probably for a...

    Best way to ship ammo?

    I've got 540 rounds of .308 that I don't need. I'd like to sell it but the quotes I"ve gotten from UPS are ridiculous ($50+ from CA to NB). Do any of you have any ideas about better shippers. Thanks.

    Mysterious Problem with nipple

    I have an 1858 Pietta Remington. Last week I was putting it back together after cleaning and discovered that one of the nipples wouldn't seat in the cylinder. I swapped nipples and had the same result. The nipples start fine, thread in smoothly about 3/4 of the way, and then seize up. I tried...

    Kimber service is number 1!

    2 weeks ago I sent my Kimber Compact Custom CDP back to them for a failure to extract problem. I got it back today, with the guide rod polished, chamber polished and reamed, a new rear night sight (they said the old one was getting dim) and best of all a new slide with INTERNAL extractor. I'm...

    Got made yesterday

    I was at a truck stop breakfast buffet yesterday, loading up a togo box with fuel for a hard day of fishing, when a waitress approached me, and with trembling voice asked, "Sir, do you know your gun is showing?" "D--n, I think to myself, my vest has ridden up over the butt of the 1911" (which I...

    Forester Tap-o-cap

    I just came across this while looking for #10 Remmie caps. It looks like a paper punch and some sort of mandrel, and is used to make your own caps. Does anyone have any experience with these? Here's a link if you're curious: http://www.lockstock.com/prodinfo.asp?number=FRTC1000
