After reading countless times of people loading up with a few shotshells for snakes I've decided to start a thread dedicated to finding out the reason why some people feel this is necessary. My thoughts are that any snake close enough to bite me is definitely close enough to easily shoot with...

What can you guys tell me about FIE derringers? I saw one locally today in 38 Spl and thought it was an interesting novelty. Has anyone shot one before?

I just read this and it really surprises me. (well, nothing surprises me anymore). http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/03/02/coming-after-the-standard-shotgun-colo-gun-bill-the-most-extreme-proposed-firearms-law/ I always thought Colorado was pretty decent in regards to firearms. Basically...

I was in the gunshop earlier today and saw a Smith and Wesson Model 66-3 for sale. It has a 2.5 barrel and and wooden round butt grips. The price was $495. I think it sounds like a fair price but is it a good price? If it had a 4 inch barrel I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat.

Does anyone here have experience with shotgun chamber adapters? I was thinking something like this would be cool. http://www.gunadapters.com/products/12-gauge-to-38%252d357-Shotgun-adapter..html For that price I'm not expecting too much but what would you expect accuracy to be like? Doable for...

From what I understand 38 Colt and 38 Short Colt will not work in a 357 magnum revolver. Is this really the case and why? They both seem to chamber just fine. Thanks

Anybody else like the way Joe Farah thinks? http://mobile.wnd.com/2013/01/time-to-roll-back-all-gun-bans/

Is it just me or does anyone else get a little annoyed at Henry Repeating for insinuating that they are somehow related to the company that made the original Henry Rifle of Civil War and Frontier fame? There ads on tv suggest that buying one of their rifles is like purchasing a piece of...

What would you recommend for a good target load for 38spl? I plan to use 148gr wadcutters and Unique powder for my Smith and Wesson Model 10. What do you find to be the most accurate? I have been using 158gr SWC and 4.3 grains of Unique and have been exceptionally pleased with the accuracy. I...

Hi, I've filled out the paperwork for a CMP garand but I have a quick question on payment. I don't see on the website who to make out the check to. It says mail forms and payment to CMP Sales so I assume this is who the check is made out to. I don't want to write it to CMP or Civilian...

Does anyone know where to get some preban M1A magazines?

I was looking at a Charter Arms Bulldog today and I wanted to buy it but I have a question before I do. The cylinder has a decent amount of wobble to it, however, when I cock the hammer and lower it back down with the trigger still depressed the lockup is quite solid. Does this sound ok or is it...

I've got an old Remington 1894 single shot shotgun and I'm wondering if it's safe to shoot with modern ammo. It seems to be in good condition with no defects that I can see. I've never seen one like it before and it has a little cocking lever on the side. It does need a bead for the front...

Hey, is there anyone from Alaska that knows if it is still legal to hunt blackies in Alaska without a guide? The Alaska fish and game website is not helpful. I'll be on Prince of Whales Island soon and staying with a friend. I'd love a crack at a nice coastal blackie. Thanks

Hey there, I've got a short barreled Remington New Army made by Pietta and when I lower the hammer I feel/hear a grating noise. Like something is rubbing against something. I hear it just as the front of the hammer begins to go throw the slot in the frame. I've examined it as best I can but I...

Have any of you bought a Model 10 from Bud's recently? At the price they are offering I think I'd like to grab one. I know they've been carried and to expect some cosmetic issues (which I don't care about) but how is the lockup, timing, etc? Any feedback is appreciated.

I just wanted to see if there was a barrel preference on Smith and Wesson Model 10's. I have a 4'' pencil barrel on the one I own and I love it. I have my eye on one of the heavy barrel ones from Bud's so I want to see what you all think. I may pick one up for my sister to use occassionally. Are...

I'm thinking of loading some 158gr semiwadcutters for use in my Smith and Wesson Model 10-5 when out and about on the farm. My target load is about 4.3grs of Unique. How hot would you recommend? I'd love to replicate or at least come close to replicating BB's Outdoorsman load. Any suggestions?

I've been wanting to get some grips to replace the horrific black ones on my stainless steel New Vaquero. I've been considering super walnut or bonded ivory from Altamont's website. My question is, does anyone know what the super walnut looks like? If anybody has any pictures that would be...

I've been wondering if a Stoager Uplander's barrel can be swapped out for a coach gun barrel and if such barrels are even available. Would they even be interchangeable?
