OKAY, I am a dummy. Bad start to a new year. Bought a nice little Stoger .410 Coach Gun (used), figured it would be a good starter for my Grandson. Took it down for a cleaning and inspection. It was pretty good overall just a few patches down the bores to get it clean. Oiled the moving parts...

I can not find a definitive answer to a question. Can a LEGAL alien, 40 years with a "green card" (they are not really green anymore) legally own a gun in the United States. My conjecture is that a long gun is legal. A hand gun is not. Any references?

I am looking for a cylinder for a Pietta 36 cal Remington. I find them for .44, but a .36 is elusive. My only source that I know of is "flea-bay". When I find one can it "pop" right in or will it need to be fitted? I may also need a new "hand". I can not determine without a cylinder. The gun...

I realize this is better placed on the Cast Bullet board but I wanted broader coverage. I have cast a lot of bullets and always used the Lee "tumble" method to lubricate. But, I have a "hankering" for a real luber. Trouble is I can't find a lot of information on lubrisizer use. Do you need to...

I must confess ignorance. I've cleaned a lot of firearms; but never a "lever loader". Picked up a Rossi, s.s. 16 inch 45 Colt. Fired a few and now what is the proper cleaning procedure? I swabbed out the chamber area, cleaned the rails and lever and took a bore snake to the barrel. It all looked...

Just read an article on the US Navy's newest destroyer, The USS Zumwalt; named for a fine forward looking CNO in my opinion. I feel competent to reflect on the entry after 26 years in JP Jones' canoe club. But it seems the fancy new main battery, envisioned to shoot 75+ nautical miles, cost...

I have a Walther .380 stainless that I like a good bit. I also have a Walther 22 that is abysmal. Academy Sports has a Walther PPK/S .22 LR advertised at $249. I believe it is blued (haven't made the 30 mile journey to the nearest A/S store). Any feed back on this firearm? Is it made by the REAL...

Cruising the classifieds this A/M saw a Winchester 9410. Price was --- $1,800 "never" fired! Have I gotten so old and so much time has passed me by that a 410 shotgun is really worth Eighteen Hundred smackers? Or is this a "special" version of a Winchester?

Hello moderator. This inquiry tends 99% to the political: But, I am only seeking clarification and some "Civics" education. No "flames" please. A Democrat, as the next POTUS, is viewed as a negative towards firearms ownership as we know it. Can I get some clarification from Nevada (and Iowa)...

My condolences to the family of Justice Scalia, may he rest in peace. I have attended three gun shows in my area (NE TN) since the Presidential Executive Orders were put in place. I have yet to see ANY effect. When I read those E.O.s and the comments of others on this Forum I really could not...

Just got a flyer from Cabella's. Noticed that they were offering a LCP marked down from $329 to $199. Big drop in price. Only two ways I could see this going: Ruger is trying to "corner" the market or is unloading inventory on a slow seller. Regrettably; I'm just a few miles over the VA/TN...

Just some "use" feedback. I pulled my hair out with my Loadmaster. Gave up on it and got a Dillon 550B. BUT---I bought a pair of the NEW primer feeder gizmos. LP is RED and the SP is Black. Both have worked wonderfully --- so far. Loadmasters are tinker toys but Lee may have truly "improved" an...

To moderator: This post applies to the Second Amendment, and others, as to the Supreme Court making law rather than interpreting. As we are looking at a new POTUS for up to eight more years, Supreme Court vacancies are inevitable. Most 2nd Amendment decisions over the past many years have been...

I am a hand gunner with the requisite AR-15 (Colt), Mini-14 and a couple of Mossburgs thrown in. But, I have a hankering to own a bolt gun. I am NOT a hunter. I found a scoped (forgot the name but it looked good) VOERE in 30.06; price $499. Bluing looks excellent, bolt works well, the hinged...

My question is oriented towards revolvers but long guns have issues too. I have never gotten the hang of loading from a flask. I see that there are different sized nozzles to mount on the flask for the powder. But do you put your thumb over the nozzle hole, push the flask spring thereby...

I have a Dillon 550B on the Dillon riser. I really enjoy the height of the Dillon. I also have started using my Lee Load Master, again. I do NOT like the low mounting. It is attached to the edge of the workbench. I have toyed with the idea of another Dillon riser and putting the Load Master on...

Good news. Those modifications Lee made to the primer feeders for the Loadmaster WORK. Easy to spot, they are RED. The small primers are BLACK. I have not tried the small model yet. I was SO frustrated with the Loadmaster I converted to Dillon. Now;-- maybe I will give the Loadmaster another...

I can not find the model number of a Beretta I saw years ago (or at least I think I saw). It was a mid-size Beretta with a tip up barrel. I am aware of the 22, 25 and 32. But isn't there a .380 model? I am pretty sure it has been out of production for some time. I have seen a Beretta/Browning...

Is the Lee Reloading Manual Accurate? I started reloading under the Lee equipment and guidelines. Did OK. I now have some experience and a better "library". Since the cooler weather prevails it is back to the garage for my "indoor" hobby; reloading. My "library" now has Hornady, Speer, Lyman...

After years of mixing dies on various Lee and Dillon presses I got the wild idea to break down everything and start afresh. Had no issues with most calibers but Oh My Goodness, I mixed up my 9 MMs. I have several sets. The markings on Lee dies seem to be VERY inconsistent. I have checked the Lee...
