Joining a new club that has a siluette league. I have many handguns including a very accurate 1911, a 22/45 and what I think may be the most accurate a 5" 686+ Talo. My question is if the 686 would be accurate enough shooting 38s to be competitive on a fun level. Is there a 38 cylinder...

Finally was able to pick up this little gem that I bought over 4 months ago. I will post a few pics as soon as I find my camera and get it cleaned up. Looks like its been shot well then stored in a sock drawer for 50 years without being properly cleaned. In the mean time. Does anyone know where...

Love my xtrema and I would like to consider using for NJ deer also. Sure I can shoot buckshot or use my CVA. But, that leaves the A300 in the safe. So is it a bad idea to use for slugs? Is there a rifled slug barrel available for the A300 Xtrema? I dont think they are the same as the A300...

More than anything I wanted to show this off. But at the same time I would love to hear some opinions, values, general knowledge of my newest aquisition. I have wanted a WWII 1911 for some time. My only concern with this one is the barrel, and the light 8 on the serial number. Other than that I...

First off- Let me make it very clear I have no intention of reloading this thing. Not at all in any way. I didnt know where else to post this on the forum. I have always wanted a large case to use for a bank or just set in the corner of the reloading room. Over the weekend I found a 3" navy case...

I want to buy a garand at some point but I'm in no hurry. I like to let them find me. Anyway I'm liking a beretta garand but I can't view it in person. Auction sight. What is different on a beretta garand from a springfield or h and r. Is the quality up to par with the us made garands? Am I...

I was given a partial band of belted 30-06 blanks. they were in a bucket that held water at one time. Condition varies from poor to bad but still cool IMO. Anyway, I would like to clean them up a bit. I can probably use soap, water and a stiff nylon brush to get them good enough for my eye. Can...

What rifles were or are chambered in the very inexpensive and useful 7.62x54 other than the Mosin and the Draganov/VEPR? I wouldnt mind having an AR upper in this cartridge or some other sport type modern rifle.

I found a company producing ARs in 30-06 while on gunbroker. Norden is the manufacturer. I have never heard of them, but the long action of the -06 in a ar platform is interesting to say the least. It opens up so many other cartridges to AR shooters. Anyone know anything about this company or...

Replacing barrel in my Kimber 9mm. The factory barrel is a LH twist and the Wilson replacement is a RH twist. Twist rate seems about the same. I was wondering if there is any noticeable difference in the direction. I havent shot the Wilson yet so I cant comment. I also have never noted with my...

A friend of mine gave me a bunch of 9mm ammo after Sandy. Packs had been wet but the aluminum case ammo looked fine. I shot up about 25 of the 100rnds and noticed that the cases were not flying as expected, getting a bit more smoke than expected. And I felt some dust.debree hitting me. So I...

It might sound crazy with the small woods here in NJ. But, its easy to get lost on flat wooded ground. When im in PA and have the hills to use as landmarks (walk in uphill walk out downhill) along with other points. At home in NJ I have the sun and if im lucky I can find a stream or something to...

A while back I shot some old aluminum cased ammo that got wet. I know it was dumb. Anyway several cases came apart and I trashed the remainder of the cartridges. I have since noticed a ring where my cartridges seat on my slide and I did a chamber inspection and found the below pics. Its a little...

Local guy has one up for sale. Listed at $500 and says it has 30 or less rounds down the tube. I was planning a build of a 700 ADL but for what it would cost me to get to the point that the SPS is already at it seems like a bargain. Is that a fair price for a used 700sps? What do they run new?

My buddy who is about to be ret-LEO is looking to pick one of these up as a EDC. They are inexpensive and from the online pictures I have seen look decent. Wondering if this pistol is low quality (due to price) or is it solid and reliable enough for EDC. His current EDC is a Kahr P380 and he...

Wifes step mom has several guns that were left to her by wifes dad. She lives in S. MO and doesnt have a good way to store the guns. My son cleaned and oiled all of them and she then packed them in hard sided plano cases and stuffed them in a closet. The house gets damp and isnt always A/c so I...

I want to machine my Kimber Target II to accept a Docter red dot. If you havent seen this setup its very clean way to mount a red dot on the slide and keep your sight close to your bore. Anyway the Kimber T2 as well as many other modern 1911's are series 80 and have the plunger safety that...

I have looked a t a few P-38s lately and is it just me, or is this a 92 without the dust cover and extended slide? I own a 96 and have had it apart countless times. I never owned a P38 to take the time and break them down side by side. Similar- Trigger linkage, safety, locking block, takedown...

Pretty sure it's 8mm and looks complete with non matching bolt. Belongs to a friend and been in the family for years.

My FIL left a Mitchell Arms Company 45lc in nickel finish after his passing. Perfect condition with gun belt full of plated 45s. I have never heard of Mitchell, it doesn't have a transfer bar so it's definately a few years old. Are these quality firearms? It's not for sale but would like a...
