What are the best tools for inspectin a bore? I expect one answer to be Bore Light, but can I get something simple from the hardware store that serves? For a light source, should it be directed or not? Are optical devices available for weak eyes?

If you haven't found it, the Swede runs www.firarmsforum.com. The server software is miserable, but many of the old faces are there.

The CA sec of state says they expect about 58% of the voters to turn out for this election--the second lowest on record. With a low turn out, gunnies can make a difference. Encourage all your friends to vote RKBA.

I posted this on the Competition section, but have had no input. Did Jerry Miculek with a revolver place over auto shooters in the IPSC World Shoot? I participate in IPSC, but am not interested enough in the competitive side to really worry about understanding the scoring sysetem...

A real life situation question of legal and PC that could only come up in California. Or Mass, or.... I decided to put a couple of revolvers and 700 or 800 rounds of .38 spl in the trunk of my car at noon as my next and last customer is located just over the hill from one of the ranges I...

...with other safes and lock boxes? This item can be bolted to wall and or floor and seems pretty sturdy. On the other hand I've noted comments about cracking welded seams with a hammer. Comments?

I decided to check out a small safe for my revolvers that I could bolt into place. The local stores have Homak cabinets but they look very poor as the door is bent sheet metal with large gaps in the corners and other places to provide pry bar access. The bars are also just stamped steel plates...

Some time back a young gentleman of lean dimensions started out a thread with an image of his revolver hugging his hip. I believe the revolver was an N-frame and the holster really tucked it in. I have searched past threads to locate this one with no luck. If you know which thread or are the...

Has anyone experience with the Fobus Roto holster versus the standard? Is the rotary mechanism reliable? Clunky?

Since I will be focusing on my new M66 4" I decided to check out the performance of a couple of loads. !* WARNING--THESE LOADS ARE IN EXCESS OF LISTED SAFE LOADS AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN YOUR FIREARM! WARNING *! At one time I had been loading my .38 spl with 4.8 gr AA#2 under a WCB copper...

I pulled apart what I thought was my relatively clean MK512 after a couple hundred rounds and found waxy crud in every nook and cranny. I didn't feel that Hoppe's #9 was getting it out with the tools I have so used Bore Blast. That stuff seemed to discolor my stock plastic grips and didn't...

What are your experiences with the above? I decided to try Break Free CLP rather than the time honored Hoppe's #9 for my revolvers to see whether it is a good alternative with less heady aroma and skin drying qualities. I had tried the M71 or whatever soap in the white bottle, but found it...

When adjusting either my Hornady or RCBS combination seating/crimp dies my setting often comes down to the setting just short of producing a sag/crimp/bend in the case midway. This is below the bulge at the bottom of the bullet and above the characteristic bulge from case resizing. Unless...

(Political disclaimer--S&W didn't get one cent for this one.) My first new gun in 3 years. Lordy how I envy some forum members. I haven't a use in the world for more guns, but it is really ego satisfying to have new toys. Learning all about your new toy is also a great diversion. Maybe...

S&W just gave me a new M66 that I intend to use in IDPA. I would be interested in suggestions for real AND efficient concealment rigs that are legal in IDPA. Something relatively inexpensive, i.e. no $125 leather beauties. I just go for the workhorses. I plan to use Safariland Comp III...

Wisdom amongst competition revolver shooters with ultra light main springs in their revolvers is that Federal is the primer of choice for dependable ignition--at least of the primer. What about the other side? It seems that a healthy flame would be a good thing in a big half empty .38 spl...

...of the S&W Performance Center 681?

Well, free in terms of cost of gun. The California and Federal requirements are adding almost $100. Actually I am looking for a list of "real" prices in California to get an estimate of the value of the Model 66. This is my second low cost revolver resulting from the S&W sponsership of the...

I will be taking possesion of a family heirloom L.C. Smith field grade double barrel 12 GA that has never been transferred during an era of regulation and paperwork. I haven't dealt with long guns in almost 40 years so am not current on shipping, registration and whatever in California. Any...
