My best friend asked me to clean up a few of his Dad's old guns back when we were in college, and now his Dad's mental status is somewhat questionable, and since I have a safe, I am again the caretaker of his Dad's toys. The only notable piece in the collection is an Italian made Jager AP 15 22...

Today I layaway'd a "Used/ Unfired" Polytech M14S. (Ser# 22XXX) Since then, I have done nothing but read up on the Poly's and I been pleased with what I've seen for the most part. (Some recommend it over the Springfields!) I did however find that just about everyone recommends changing out for a...

I just got my new Savage 12FVSS, and I am going to break the barrel in tomorrow. (Will be using 150 gr SP's on 45g of 748) After that, I really want to develop a good match accuracy load, still using 748, since I use it in several calibers. Does anyone have any suggestions or loads they get...

I have heard and read about people using surplus powder that seems to be aquired at much cheaper prices than the powder I buy? How would one go about finding this surplus powder? I mainly load .308, .223, 40 S&W, 38, 45ACP.

I looked through the 'fun things to shoot' thread, and was unable to find anything about shooting eggs. So, I will volunteer to be the guinea pig on this one:D . Some friends and I were trying to come up with something fun/ cheap/ reactive to shoot, and I thought eggs would be just the ticket...

As soon as my local dealer can find one for me, I will be getting a Savage 110Tactical .308 w/ HS Precision stock. This will probaly be one of my #1 shooter's, and I want to dress it up a little bit, mainly with a set of back up irons. What type of sights do any of you have experience with or...

I am somewhat of a new reloader, but I have loaded a few thousand 40 s&w's, so I have a decent grasp of what to do. I recently got some 38/ 357 dies (RCBS 3 die set) and all of the components to load a few hundred 38's. I tumbled the brass (all commercial) deprimed and resized it, flared and...

I took my Christmas cash to the gunstore(s), with nothing in particluar in mind, but knowing I'd bring something home. After hours of shopping, I found this like new Beretta 92FS (9mm) with a very interesting accessory. It is a LASERTRACE Inc. (Navarre, FL) laser unit that is obviously designed...

Santa is bringing me some funds for my next toy, and I am in a dileema as to what I want. The only thing I know for sure is that I am getting a 308, but I cannot decide between two very different packages. My first pick, is the JLD PTR 91, either the standard or the "tactical." Second choice...

I have a few hundred pieces of what I think is military brass, and I was just wandering about the headstamps, and the extra steps when fooling with military brass. Most of what I have is stamped: R O R G 16 with a "crosshair" L C and 99, 02, 98, etc (year???) and "crosshair" W C C 0 3 I was...

A while back I found a high quality, low profile G3 mount while searching TFL. I now need to try and get one of those mounts, and I cannot find it again to save my life. As i said, the mount was very low, and had picatinny rail. I believe the cost on it was somewhere around $110. Any help would...

I aquired an Ithaca Mod 37 "feather lite" for my wife to start shooting clays with, but it seems to sticking rounds. I have never really dealt with a bottom eject gun, can anyone give some guidance on dissassembly of the 37, or tell me where I could put my hands on a manual. Thanks in advance!

I had a posted a somewhat lukewarm review of my new Sig Mosquito a few weeks ago, but after making an ammo change, the Mosquito is rocking!!! I began shooting it with CCI Blazer 22lr because I have several thousand rounds of that on hand. Unfortunately, the Mosquito becomes a single shot, with...

I never leave home without a Glock of some sort (department policy and, well ... because I can) and I wanted a holster that offered retention without bulk. I love my Fobus paddle, but when the BLACKHAWK CQC with the trigger lock came out, I had to have one. I got mine from Sportsman's Guide for...

I had been thinking about getting one of Para's LDA doublestack 45's some time down the road, but the other day I got to shoot a friends and I could not shoot with that trigger. 99% of the time I shoot Glock(s), and have grown quite fond of that 1/8th inch reset, but the Para trigger seemed to...

IS anyone familiar with this American made "match" Hk91. I have been saving up for a Springfield M1A1, but was told by a usually very reliable coworker that the PTR91 was more rifle and less money. He bought one recently, but hasn't got to the range with it yet. Check it out for yourself...

I have been wanting a "normal" ( similar to other caliber guns, not weird space shipish) 22lr pistol, mainly as a cheap to shoot training tool for larger caliber service weapons. I researched the Mosquito quite a bit as is very similar to the other Sig's, and asked around, and my local shop had...

Since there were very few posted when I was looking for one, I will post the load I used for a good 40 cal practice round. I loaded once fired brass with Winchester Pistol Primers, 180 gr Hornady XTP's and 8 grains of BLUE DOT powder. These shot very well and were plenty accurate at 25 yards. I...

I will be making my first ever reloading in the morning, and I wanted some help on a good load. I am loading with a friend of mine who has been doing it a while, but I wanted to see what TFL'ers thought about a load also. I will be reloading Speer 165g GDHP's with BlueDot powder. I will be...

I am about to start reloading, primarily 223, 40, and 308 when I get one. Is there anything in particular that I need to know or do as far as reloading for semiautomatic rifles. (ar15 and M1A1) I have a good friend who does a lot of loading and is teaching me the ins and outs. Just want to be...
