    Nipple thread standard?

    Does anyone know what thread might be standard on the Nipple (New Orleans Ace pistol...from Classic Arms). This was given to me used as a gift, and I removed the nipple to replace it and the threads (on the Brass Frame) look like they could use a bit of re-tapping...before putting in a new...

    Cheap 150grain 30-06 hunting ammo question?

    WHAT is the best CHEAP (yet reliable) ammo in 30-06 150grainers? I got myself a new Rem700 in 30-06 and I'm thinking of Elk this year. My original plan was to get a bunch of cheap FMJ for practice, then a box of Nosler partitions for hunting. But, I'm changing my mind. WHAT is the best...

    Good SMALL rugged 3x scope (or less) with lighted red-dot (or similar)?

    I typically like a red-dot, but I'm thinking some slight magnification would be good for coyotes. I don't typically risk shots out past 200yds with my old eyes anymore...and this AR Coyote stuff is new to me. I'm not looking to spend the money for an Aimpoint/Trijicon/etc, and Magnifier...

    .300winmag, .300H&H, etc to .300Weatherby conversion?

    Okay, here's my problem. When I was 17 I traded my .300weatherby Remington 721 that Dad had given me for an M1Garand...and to this day I never will hear the end of making such a dumb move. (the rifle had irreplacable sentimental value). It was a Rem721 that was originally in .300H&H and...

    Smallest Concealed Carry .45acp?

    If you were going to CCW (IWB) a .45acp, AND let your wife use it to CCW also, what would be your WEAPON OF CHOICE? My wife is pretty small, so it's gotta be a pretty small frame, and of course the smaller the better for my IWB carry. I'm happy with say 5+ rounds or better, as it's MORE...

    Drill/tapping S&W442 J-frame for REAR site?

    I would like to drill/tap my 442 for an adjustable rear site (for small single mounting screw, in the center of the existing gutter site). As you can see in the pictures below, S&W does make some "factory" J-frames that have been both tapped and dovetailed for adjustable rear sites, but does...

    Max safe bullet weight for .38 special?

    I am a believer in the larger/heavier school of stopping power. I currently have a SW Jframe 442, and I keep Buffalo Bores 158gr HP's in it...but I sometimes wonder why a 180gr or 200gr load has not been manufactured...is this an UNSAFE combination out of a 2" barrel? It seems that they...

    Winchester Model 100 .308 safety question?

    I just purchased a Winchester Model 100 .308 circa about 1961. It appears to be in excellent condition. Should I be worried about firing today's modern .308 rounds in a rifle dated from the 1960's? It's just so pretty I couldn't pass it up...I don't have a picture yet, but will try to get...

    Kahr P45 for CCW!

    I've decided on a KAHR P45 for my CCW rig, and now I'm still trying to finalize my holster choice. The problem is warm weather. Does anyone carry something similar with shorts and a polo shirt type clothing? I will carry strong side under a polo shirt, but I'm still torn between IWB or OWB...

    IDPA/USPSA/CCW Holster choice?

    I'm lost! I have recently purchased 2 handguns for near future CCW (and hopefully IDPA/USPSA or similar) use: A SW442 (.38)revolver, and a KAHR P45 (.45) and I want to get involved with competition pistol shooting of some type (after the CCW class) to improve my shooting / training with my...

Within 90 days, we will go back after kitchen table dealers, and work to end the gun show and internet sales loopholes.

    Tactical start with drawstroke?

    Should I get a couple hours of private school instruction just on drawstroke to start Tactical Pistol training? I'm a complete "tactical" pistol novice. I want to start with the 100% proper drawstroke, and need the proper instruction to do that correctly. Still deciding on carry...

    .38 Special TAP ammo?

    I just recently purchased a SW442, and will CCW it and keep it as a bedroom gun. So I've been comapring ammo specifications (assuming there's ever any more on the store shelves) and have found some surprises. I had been hearing about the 135grain Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel HP's, and was...

    I Won't be hunting at all here in Az, except with a Camera, and I will take 00 buckshot on Photo expeditions here. But summers in Alaska I want something that would be as effective against Bear as possible (last ditch emergency/close range), and I'm not sure exactly WHAT slug that would be...
