    Question about Federal 9mm +P 147gr HST

    I know this forum is about Autoloading Handguns. My question deals with ammunition typically used in an Autoloading Handgun, but in this case is being used in a carbine. But that fact has no bearing on my question. It is just info for anyone curious as to why I am asking the question. I have...

    Need to Know What I Should Look For

    Tomorrow, I am going to a local gun show. I am going to look for a Browning A5. My father once owned one and, regrettably, had to sell it when I was just a baby to pay some bills. Even though I don't know for sure, I would being willing to bet that my "baby" bills were the ones he needed extra...

    Fiocchi or Winchester White Box Ammo

    For almost a year, I have had on order from "Sportsman's Guide" 1000 rounds of Fiocchi brand 9mm 115 Grain FMJ for a price of $206.12 shipped. As Sportsman's Guide regularly does, they keep pushing back the back-order date. I have found a place where I can get 1000 rounds of Winchester White...

    Brownells TCE?

    I am going to use Brownells Gun-Kote on a few parts I am working on. They are made out of aircraft grade aluminum. Brownells insists that I need to use their TCE cleaner before using the Gun-Kote. Is there any alternative to their brand of TCE? Just one can of their TCE aerosol is $25 plus...

    Dry Firing .22 Semi-Auto Rifle

    I own a Browning .22 Semi-Auto Rifle. I understand that you are not ever supposed to dry fire rim-fire firearms.

    4" or 6" Barrel?

    I want to add a nice magnum revolver to my collection. I am seriously looking at the S&W 686 Plus. I need some help deciding between the 4" and 6" barrels. The gun will be a shooter, but I don't plan on hunting with it. I know that I would lose a percentage of accuracy on the 4" barrel...

    Is My Ammo Ruined?

    I ordered some items from Natchez shooting supplies. Along with my order, I picked up a few boxes of shotgun & handgun ammo. I then went on a business trip out of town for a few days. When I returned home my order was in my "open air" garage. By using the tracking number, I found out that it...

    Any Info On This Scope?

    Anyone Used This Scope?

    I received a sales flier from Natchez. They are listing a Tru-Glo 6-24x44 Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle Rifle Scope on sale for $59.99 (regular price is $285.11). I know that I'm not looking at a Leupold. But for $60, is it a decent scope? The funny thing is, I looked at Tru-Glo's website...
