    Help Installing Pin for Marlin 60 Tube Magazine

    I bought a new Marlin 60 in 2018. The experience has not made this one of my favorite guns. Had to send the first one back because it shot 4" groups at 50 feet. Marlin gave up and sent me a new one. The magazine tube fell out of the second one right away, and the pin that holds it in landed in a...

    10mm and Accurate No. 7

    I have not reloaded in quite some time, and I'm about to start up with 10mm. I use 180-grain Speer Gold Dots. I don't have notes made from the last reloading session, so I am trying to piece it together from the evidence. I recall that I was getting 1200 fps or so from a Glock 29, which has a...

    Coronavirus Causing AR15 Shortage?

    I'm not a huge fan of the AR15, so I haven't bought one, but I feel like I should own at least one to see what the fuss is about. Today I started poking around online, seeing what's out there, and it looks like a lot of the mid-tier rifles are GONE. Is this something new? Is coronavirus driving...

    9-Shot Colt Woodsman?

    Today my Beretta Neos magazines arrived. They are not SIMILAR to Woodsman magazines. They ARE Woodsman magazines. The only difference is the base. I took the spring out of a Neos magazine and stuck it in a Colt. Suddenly, the Colt magazine words perfectly. Someone had stuck the wrong spring in...

    Glock SF Guns: any Problems to Look for?

    I'm thinking of getting a full-size Glock to carry around the farm. I notice Glock and retailers seem to be pushing short-frame models. I find regular Glocks comfortable, but I picked up a Glock 20 SF today to see how it felt, and it seemed fine, too. Are people noticing any problems with these...

    Colt Woodsman Doesn't Extract

    I'm shooting my Woodsman for the first time, and it's not even trying to extract. Can anyone tell me what the most likely cause is?

    9-Shot Colt Woodsman?

    I am fiddling with the 3rd generation Colt Woodsman I picked up today, and it is impossible to get 10 rounds into the magazine, which has "Colt" stamped into the bottom of it. Has anyone here ever heard of a Woodsman magazine that only held 9 rounds?

    Info on High-Standard .22 Pistol Models and Prices?

    I am beside myself with happiness because I finally got a Colt Woodsman to replace the one someone stole from my grandmother's estate. Now, of course, it's time to shop for something else. My grandfather had a High-Standard .22 semiauto in addition to the Woodsman, so obviously, I need one...

    Crimson Trace, Glock, and Galco Holster?

    I'm thinking of getting a Glock 20 and putting a Crimson Trace on it. I have a Galco Miami Classic 2 holster for a Glock 29, and I like it a lot. Does anyone here know whether a Crimson Trace will work with a Glock and this holster?

    Pistol Gongs: One or Two Holes?

    I've never used a gong. I am thinking of getting a couple of little ones for pistol shooting, plus a bigger one for rifles. I assume I'll be shooting pistols at 10 yards to 50 feet. I figure 6" will be good for the pistol gongs. It's too big for slow fire at 10 yards, but it will work for rapid...

    Good Cheap .50 AE Jacketed Bullets?

    I started looking for .50 AE bullets, and it looks like a lot of them run close to 80 cents each. For that price, I might as well buy ammunition instead. Are there sources I haven't found yet? I want jacketed bullets, not solid lead.

    Desert Eagle .50 AE Lots of FTE's

    I am looking for input on my Desert Eagle. I don't know the series, but it would be from around 2005. Hard chrome and .50 AE. When I used to shoot it with Samson ammo, it ran okay. I felt bad about not shooting it, so last week I ordered some Precision One JHP. The ammo got great reviews, so I...

    Pin Sticking Out of Crimson Trace

    I have a Glock 26 pistol with a Crimson Trace laser sight. I bought it for my dad and then inherited it. The pin that holds the Crimson Trace on is protruding on the left side of the gun. I find it annoying. It has been so long since I installed the sight for him, I don't remember much about...

    Stories About Gun Safes That Worked?

    Last week I had to travel, so I lugged my guns to a neighbor's house for storage. His garage has a built-in gun room. The walls are rebar and concrete, and the door weighs 500 pounds. Very nice. I would like to have some kind of security for my guns in my own home, but I have been discouraged...

    Three Cheers for Smith & Wesson

    I bought a Thompson Center rifle, and I got a $75 rebate. I put the rebate card in a place where I was positive I would not lose it. Then I went to look for it. It was gone. I looked for the card for weeks. Finally, I called S&W (parent company) to see what they would do for me. I figured they...
