    45 "Long Colt" (rant)

    I know this is a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things but this drives me crazy. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A 45 LONG COLT!! Or 45 LC, for that matter. The round is called a 45 Colt, period. For those that don't belive me, try and find just one reloading manual with data for a 45 "Long...

    Happy birthday, Art

    Today is Art Eatman's birthday. He's ummm... old enough to vote. The area where we live is quite remote and Art is always there to cheerfully help out his neighbors. He'll use his maintainer (and fuel) to keep up folk's bad, dirt roads; stockpile gravel and sand on his property for others to...

    S&W mod. 12 grip adapter

    I'm about to buy a round butt S&W mod 12 and I started looking around on the net for a grip adapter for it. I've used Tyler Ts and Pachmayers in the past and like both. Pachmayer apparently doesn't make them any more and the Tylers are $25. :eek: Chaps my butt to pay that much for a little...

    new software problem

    I'm not sure if I can discribe this so that it makes sense, but here goes. When I am in a forum, say revolvers for example, and look at a thread therein, when I go back to the "revolver forum" I'm not taken back to the same place in the forum that I started from. In other words, if the thread is...

    New Mexico gun law?

    I'm taking a short road trip to New Mexico from Texas next week and I have a quick question. If I toss a holstered, loaded handgun in my bag and carry that bag in the passenger compartment of the car, am I legal? It's gonna happen anyway but I'm curious if I should worry about it or not. Thanks...

    S&W Mod. 38 W/ stainless cylinder

    I'm starting to see blue Mod 38s with stainless cylinders for sale in Shotgun News or Gun list; can't remember which. I remember 10, 15 years ago seeing a couple of these, supposedly so one could use +P. I'm not so sure about the merits of that. Anyway, anybody know the story behind this...

    gauging a barrel

    I read discriptions of military rifles with the barrel "gauging" a number, such as 2,3,5... What is being gauged? Thanks in advance.

    weaver sunshade

    I asked this in Gear and Accessories and didn't get a response so I'll try here. Anybody know where I can get a sunshade for an older, El Paso made K12 Weaver scope? The objective is aprox. 1 13/16" in diameter; is there a generic shade available? Thanks in advance.

    22-250 pet loads?

    I've been reloading for pistols for twenty years or so but I've never really fooled with bolt rifles much. I've ordered a Remington 700 in 22-250 and should get it next week. Got any pet loads for paper-shooting? Also maybe some good coyote medicine. ;) They usually run about 25-30 #s around...

    Price check on Rem 700

    I'm looking at a left handed Rem 700 BDL in 243. It's in excellent condition with weaver bases installed. Remington isn't making short actions for lefties any more. He's asking $450. What do ya'll think about that price. ------------------ Join the NRA. [This message has been edited by...

    S&W mod 19 FTF

    I bought a used S&W mod 19 last week that locks up tight and, though it has a lot of holster wear, doesn't appear abused. After shooting 150 .38 reloads I've had 2 light primer hits. The rounds fired with a second strike. I'm sure this is not ammo related as I've shot about 800 rounds from this...

    parkerizing recommendation

    I recently bought a S&W mod.19 that's tight and shoots well enough but the bluing's gotten pretty thin and the back strap's gone brown. I don't care too much about the looks as I got this piece to carry in the field and expect it to get dinged but I'm kinda thinking about getting it parkerized...
