I've got a S&W 629-3. When I rock it up and down (barrel up, barrel down), I can hear something sliding inside. Is there something in there that is supposed to float freely that would rattle like that or do I have a problem?

After tromping through the woods many times this year, I finally got a pig on the last public of the year. I was walking into my intended hunt area and I spooked one up. By the time I got my rifle up, it was already too far into the bushes. Then, I noticed movement to my right and saw one...

I carry a Ruger Securty Six 2 3/4" when I'm hunting. It's my protection against "Mr. No Shoulders". I currently use an Uncle Mikes sidekick holster. I've had great success using that style of holster with my other revolvers but the Security Six presents a unique problem. Like many holsters...

I've got a Savage Stiker Sport which is essentially a pistol shaped version of a left-handed MKII. I bought it 2nd hand. About 40% of the time, cycling the bolt does not put the firing pin into battery. If I push forward on the trigger as I cycle the bolt, the failure rate drops to about...

I got back from vacation last Friday but have been without most of my guns since then. I took the precaution of stashing them at my buddy's house for safekeeping. Luckily, nobody broke into my house so the precaution was not truely needed. Still, better safe than sorry ( a guy a few miles...

We'll be headed to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville for vacation the last week of this month. Are there any good gun places that I need to hit up there? I know there is a Bass Pro Shop up the road at I-40 (supposedly next door to a jerky outlet :)).

We worked up some loads for my short barreled (18.5") .260 using RL-17 and Hornady 129grn SPs. Playing with Quickload, this combination gave the best theoretical results. Since I was already invested in this powder, I started playing with Quickload to see what other calibers I could use it...

My reloading buddy and I were thinking "outside the box" the other day and came upon an interesting question. Would you gain better consistency (and therefore accuracy) if you weighed your in-line powder charges instead of measuring them? We know that BP (and substitutes) are normally...

This may seem like a dumb question but here goes. Suppose you have both dies (FL and Seating) for a particular caliber - say .308. Now, you want to try something new and load 30-06 which uses the same diameter bullet. I know you need a 30-06 FL die to do the resizing, but is it necessary to...

When you buy one of those tupperware ammo boxes for reloads, it will come with a couple of load data cards where you record the load data. I'm wondering if there is a pre-made downloadable template that would allow me to print more.

Suppose I needed to load 7mm-08 and I had access to a bunch of .260 brass and a bunch of .308 brass. Which is easier to reform to 7mm-08 (and also give long case life assuming same brand of brass). I'm leaning towards the .308 because you aren't thinning out the thickness of the neck walls.

When deer/pig hunting I rotate between several different rifles depending on mood or where I'm going. One thing that I lack though is a "rain" rifle. I need one with all stainless steel metal and a composite stock. Those are easy to find. However, I have one more requirement. I want iron...

My hunting/shooting buddy picked up a beautiful Remington 700 in .300WSM for what he thought was a good deal. One shot told him different. One shot shook apart a high-dollar Leupold scope. When he went to clean the barrel, he found that he couldn't even push his normal patched jag down the...

I went out to the range to shoot some 5-stand today. I brought a 20ga O/U Antonio Zoli that I bought last year but haven't had a chance to shoot yet. While I was waiting for the other lanes to shoot, I was moving the safety back and forth to see how stiff it was. When it came my turn, I...

I'm thinking of getting a new holster for small-of-the-back carry (5 o'clock position). I noticed that some people use a normal IWB holster for the hand they use (i.e. right handed holster for a right handed shooter). Some shooters however, like to use a left handed holster for a right-handed...

I don't have a true K frame handy for reference but it seems to be a little bigger than the true K framed guns. It looks almost the same size as an L frame.

I found this on another forum and thought I would pass it along. http://www.remingtoncountrystore.com/partsPaging.aspx?layout=0&number=3&catalogid=1&categoryid=3586&topcat=1038

I've been looking at inertia operated autoloaders lately and I'd like a quick lesson on the difference between the various Benelli models (other than the obvious cosmetic stuff like stocks). I see they have the Vinci, the Montefeltro, the Legacy, M1, M2, SBE and SBE II, etc. Are they all the...

Does anyone know of any Cyber Monday promotions from our firearms/accessories dealers?
