What can you guys tell me about Water's muskets? I know someone who has one and I'm wondering what the history of them is as well as possible value. I think its stamped 1830 or 40 something. I want to say 1836. Anything you can come up with would be great.

Hey, the transfer bar on my Ruger New Vaquero just snapped off. This seems really strange since I never fan it or anything. What's the procedure for having it sent back to Ruger? Will they charge to fix it?

Hey Guys, What are you all paying for Ruger Single Sixes these days? I've got my eyes on one with a 6 1/2 barrel, blued steel, and an extra 22mag cylinder. Does $349 sound too high? I'm not sure of the condidtion.

Does anyone have any experience using a clip draw on a handgun? I saw one in an internet article and it seems pretty handy. No need for a holster. What do you think? clipdraw.com for those who are curious

Just thought I'd get some thoughts on this. Aside from issues involved with black powder such as flame and sparks what would be your preference, a 44 round ball over black powder or a 45 cowboy cartridge? Think two-legged threat here. I know that the soft lead ball is pretty deadly but 250...

Are there any conversion cylinders for an 1851 Navy in 44 caliber? I've got a Pietta and have been wondering about this. Does anyone know if they're available?

Hey, I've been thinking of taking my shotgun out for deer hunting. What kind of accuracy can I expect from my Browning Field Model? Should I leave the chokes in or take them out? I'm not expecting much beyond 50 yards

Is the 1866 about the same strength as the '73 or is it weaker because of the brass? I would like to shoot full power traditional 45colts from it(not Ruger only). Is the action strong enough for this?

I just got back from the range with my Winchester 94. I had my Williams 5D Peep sight and my new taller front sight. At 25yds I was placing them right in the 10 ring and was grouping them really well. At 50yrds I was about an inch or two high as expected but was still grouping well. Now at...

Any nice bucks from Maine to report? I'll be heading up to central Maine this month but don't really expect too much. The herd sure ain't what it was a few years ago.

Hi, I'm wondering if the front sight dovetail for a winchester 94 is 3/8. I'm still in the process of getting a front sight. The dovetail is cut into the barrel. Can anyone verify that the dovetail is 3/8? I'd appreciate it!

Hi All, I'm trying to get a front sight for my winchester 94. Will this sight fit the barrel dovetail? I know its tall enough but I'm not sure if winchester has different size dovetails. I have a feeling it probably will but would like to make sure. I have a winchester 94ae will a barrel...

Just curious, how much ammo do you guys take along on a hunting trip? I usually fully load my Winchester 94 with seven rounds and another seven or so in my pockets. I like to keep them in the little plastic things they come in so they don't rattle. You never know when you'll empty your gun or...

I'm curious as to the year of manufacture for a Savage model 99. The serial number is 602xxx. The lever boss has a crecent with the number 24 inside. It may have been a circle with more numbers but its kind of worn so its hard to tell. It has a pistol grip and a schoble(sic) forend. On the top...

I'm pretty dissatisfied with the sights on my Winchester 94AE. I bought it used so I think the sights were put on by the previous owner. They are the flip-down ones similiar to those on a 10/22. My problem is that I can't depress the rear sight far enough. My bullets are impacting about six...

Anyone have experience with BB's heavy 30-30? Just checked it out on their website and it looks pretty impressive. They state that it will turn your rifle into an elk and moose gun and go through three or four deer. Sounds interesting.

I just looked at a couple of Ruger 44magnum carbines last night and all I could think was wow! This feels and looks just like the 10/22. What I'm wondering is does it shoot as nicely? It points beautifully and feels like it could put em right in there like the 22. What say you about this...

Do you Mainer's got any deer left? I've been hearing that the herd has been pretty much decimated in the past couple winters. A couple years ago I'd see more sign than you could shake a stick at but now it seems really scarce. What do you think about the 2010 season?

I've got some .38's from Roger's and I'm wondering if I can use them to load some 357magnum loads. I've used them to load 38 special and haven't had any problems. Will they lead my barrel at magnum velocities?

I've been thinking about going on a caribou hunt. The idea of hunting in such a remote part of the world really intrigues me. My question is which outfitters do you recommend? Share good and bad experiences as well as price. I don't think I'll be booking one this year but I've really been...
