Well I have a new toy, can anyone give me a little more info on it. There is nothing resembling a serial number on it. I'm guessing a very early model. The serrated suicide safety doesn't resemble the triangular nub I have found in photos of the earliest models. Thanks.

I'd love have some one tell me what I have here. It's a 4" K frame with the serial # stamped in 3 places, butt, back of cylinder, and bottom of the barrel. On the back of cylinder are s, p, and v. On the Grip strap are WB-S-SDGN. It's an interesting the mix of rough machining inside the frame...

I love it when liberal big city media does a story like this. Announcing the "13 year old with an AR15." https://abc13.com/society/teenager-shoots-kills-400lb-feral-hog/6002044/

I thought some folk's might enjoy seeing this one that showed up on my facebook feed this morning. It was taken north of Stephenville, TX. I photoshopped out the shooter whom I do not know as I don't like to share person's images without their permission, not that Facebook is privateo_O.

EDIT: (Pierced is the P word that my brain couldn't find) This last week I've been working up some loads for a new AR build, having just dumped my range brass out on the mat to sort I realized I've been getting a few primers punched through. I would appreciate your thoughts on resolving the...

I just finished my first AR last week. Just wanted to know if anyone has issues with barrel nut torque specs not quite hitting 30 ft lbs on the first notch and hitting 80 well before the next one lines up? Did I get unlucky or is this sort of routine? I used white lithium grease on the threads...

I'm working on my first AR build and I was wondering if anyone knew about the availability of oversized parts, in my particular case a safety with an over sized shank. I'm mot pleased that the safety allows about 1/3 disengagement of the sear, I need one with about .015 more meat on it. My...

I've inherited a a Haenel #1 air rifle, anybody have any info or leads on parts. I've started to clean it up, stayed in my uncles shed for many decades. I't not in the best shape. The action was held into the stock with fishing line although the screw was still in the stock, it was broken, I'm...

Yesterday was a fairly typical range outing, I usually carry 3 or more to spread out on the bench to shoot. This particular day was my Randall .45, Ruger Std. .22 and the CZ85. So I lay them on gun rugs left to right and load the magazines laying the appropriate magazine next to it's respective...

I know I'm going to get some excellent advice on this I've seen the posts in the past, search just didn't turn up the ones I remember. So here's the lowdown, I tried shooting lead in the Redhawk a few years back and got horrible leading in the first few inches of bore, MBC 240gr 18bhn .430. I...

I'm very surprised to find these factory loads dead at such a young age. These were dated 1/89, I've got much older stuff, both factory and handloads that are just fine. These were stored in an air conditioned environment. I was also surprised at the lack of rusty powder/ acrid odor.

Once in a while perusing the old manual I run across this photo, it sticks in my mind that Clint Eastwood could have taken a lesson from this guy on how to do the "Make my day." Hard to go wrong with a stern look with a large bore revolver. Page 378 in Speer #10

Researching ammo for my pocket gun and ran across this review on Federal's website, took a screenshot of it.. Brilliant! I'd love to hear how he managed this.o_O

I'm hoping to find out a little about knife maker J.W. Thomas. My Uncle had this made for me decades ago for a birthday present. It came with a hand made sheath with my initials engraved. IIRC I was told he was a well known local maker in the Shreveport area. Any info much appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone here has put a flash hider on their old skinny barrel Mini14. I know the reputation they have for lack of accuracy, mine suffers from that very issue, grouped about 4" with factory loads, that said as a handloader I solved the problem decades ago backing off the load by...

I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what it need to find to have a complete rifle. I hope I can get out what ever somebody screwed into it to hold the peep sight. Looks like a shoulder screw and perhaps a safety lever at the rear of the trigger assy. I'd love to get the correct rear sight...

I may make an offer on this piece, any suggestions. Ser# indicates made in 62, as you can see it's very clean and a good shooter too. Thanks, Shim

I've been reloading for 35 years and never ran across this little bugger. I was sorting range brass out of the tumbler and almost tossed it into the .380 pile, after a careful look 3 more show up. Oh the things that keep life interesting.

I was just perusing my Lyman manual for potential powders to fit the gap between W231 and HS6. I'm currently burning old stock of Unique which I hear is nastier than the current formulation. Power Pistol certainly seems to fit the bill for the performance loads I intend to use it for. I'll...

I just bought this last weekend and in studying my new (used) gun I noticed something very odd to me, having never owned a single action Ruger perhaps this is perfectly normal. Single action Ruger owners please chime in. The cylinder seems to be fitted with end shake limited by the bushing...
