While killing a couple minutes on facebook earlier, I stumbled across these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8xSNiPx791A http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_3215710535&feature=iv&src_vid=8xSNiPx791A&v=MkOGb5_ML_8 While I realize these are...

I've got a 329PD that has been collecting dust in my safe. I do enjoy shooting it but I find myself reaching for other guns far ahead of it. It is in very good condition with a light turn line. It came to me with Hogue grips on it. The trouble I'm having is that prices for these things are all...

I'm out of state visiting family for Thanksgiving and stumbled upon a used Beretta BlackWing at a LGS. The gun is in nice shape but missing the box/papers/ and the third choke tube. As far as I can tell this is a bare bones 686. Any major reasons not to grab it? It feels great and points...

Sunday I was out playing at the range when my Kimber Tactical Pro II decided to misbehave. This gun has been pretty reliable through probably well over 10k rounds at this point. Twice while shooting, the gun ejected a live round and closed on an empty chamber. This has never happened with either...

I had started a thread in the revolver section about a grip fitment issue with a '50's Detective Special. After it was pointed out, I can see the frame has been modified. I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a custom maker who can build be a set of grips to fit the gun. The grips...

A couple months back I happened upon a 1950's Detective Special while on a road trip. The price seemed right, so I grabbed it. The only was the aftermarket grips on it had a chip where they extended below the frame which bothered me while shooting. Fast forward a month after waiting on a new...

With the current market and an unreliable at best shoulder joint my .50 Beowulf met the chopping block. While the recoil isn't that bad, firing it repeatedly can be a touch abusive. Really, who wants to slow fire a Beowulf. I'd been hunting for a S&W 44 Special to fuel my new found love for the...

Since it seems most are unimpressed at best with the customer service department at Kahr, I thought I'd share my experience. I purchased a CW45 through Bud's. Coming to the 200 round mark they recommend for break in, reliability markedly improved. Yes, a break in period is debatable but the...

My girlfriend bought me a Taurus 445UL for Christmas. For those unfamiliar with it, it's a 5-shot, snub nosed, 44Spl. I've put about 200 rounds through it as of yet and noticed a couple things that I've never noticed in my high mileage SP-101. First, when closing the cylinder, the cylinder face...

I'm looking for some input on some pretty large discrepancies in data. If anyone can run these through QuickLoad, that'd be awesome too. My girlfriend bought me a Taurus 445L for Christmas and I've been working on some loads for it. Looking at my manuals as well as a recent thread on the...

On June 21st, I ordered a Rem700 SPS Varmint .223. When it arrived a week later I stopped by to check it out. Upon inspection, I found what appeared to be tooling marks left in the bolt face. Fast forward to present, Remington has had the rifle for two weeks, though they'll only admit it was...

I'm looking at getting one of the Remmy 700 Tactical models and have a couple questions. I'm pretty set on the 20" Tactical model as I'm only planning on 300 yards max range and like way the gun handles. Remington has a fairly new offering of this rifle that uses 1:10 twist opposed to the 1:12...

Sorry for all the threads here lately, but I blew out my shoulder recently and have lots of free time to ponder new ideas and can't go shooting for a while. I've searched quite a bit and found some plinking loads using 12gr Unique under a 300gr bullet for ~1000fps give or take. Seeing as I have...

I know the exact opposite of this has been discussed ad nauseum, but would using regular primers to load .357 Mag loads have any ill effect. I load for 9mm, .40, and .38Spl, but want to dabble with the .357s. I don't, however, want to buy 1k magnum primers for something that might be ~200 rounds...

So after working with pistol calibers for a couple years I decided to dive into a rifle caliber and 45-70 seemed like fun. I picked up some Accurate 2015 powder and CCI 200 primers today. I'll be using Missouri Buffalo #2 300gr., .458 for bullets. I've got several manuals, but the only one that...

About three weeks ago, I bought a brand new SA Loaded Champion light weight model. It sure is a pretty gun being OD green with the Armory Kote on the slide and all the small parts. I'm kind of disappointed with its performance. Accuracy is poor compared to my Kimber Tactical Pro and the trigger...

Havn't had much time to post here as of late, but I thought some here might offer some insight. My grandfather, who's health is rapidly failing gave me his 1911 and an old Savage shotgun. The best I can tell, the 1911 is a "lend-lease" gun. It was given to him by his father in law as a...

Has anyone here ever used the oversize grip screw bushing kit from Brownell's? http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/sto...INGS%20&%20TAP The other day while shooting, I noticed the left grip panel on my Kimber Tactical Pro II had loosened up. Upon disassembly, I found the bushing was stripped...

A friend linked me to this on another board, thought I'd share. Apparantly it was posted on CraigsList "Dear Mugger, I was the white guy with the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I hand over shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my...
