Why is the Winchester 1887 lever action shotgun referred to as a Dellosso shotgun?

My Brother-in-law is building my wife's AR15. What is the best trigger for the money? I'm talking $120.00 or less. I am a single action revolver and lever action rifle guy, so AR15's are out of my realm of knowledge. My son owns one and I did help him build his, so I am familiar with the...

Does anyone own one or have you ever shot one? Thoughts? I own a H&R single shot 20 gauge, so I am familiar with the operation and quality of these guns, I am just curious about this specific one.

The heaviest bullet I have loaded in a .45 colt is a 357 grain lead WFN. According to load data it was traveling at around 1100 fps. Recoil was not bad in my opinion. I have fired it in a Ruger Redhawk and Blackhawk and carry it when hiking in Black Bear and Mountain Lion country. Just curious...

I have watched many videos and read many articles on proper finger placement and the general consensus of what I have seen is to put the pad of your finger on the trigger. I have spent most of my life using the crease of the first joint on my finger and have shot OK. But, I thought perhaps I...

Is anyone seeing any evidence of another ammo shortage? I was ordering ammo for the hardware store I work at and was seeing more zero quantities than normal. And they showed no powder at all. Just curious.

Has anyone heard of this rifle that apparently was used as a training firearm by the German Army in WWI? It says WR 22L on the side. There is a lot of speculation as to what caliber it shoots and what "WR" stands for. Any ideas?

Is the stock and the splinter style forearm interchangeable between the Fox model B and the 311?

I just purchased a Fox model B 20 gauge and according to what I have read, the 28" barrels it has should be modified/full. However, the gunshop I bought it from said it was improved cylinder/modified. So I patterned it today by shooting at a 3 ft x 4 ft plywood with a 30" circle. I was using 7...

I have a friend who has some land next to the city's run-off lake from the city sewer. The water has been through all the treatment but is still not considered safe for human consumption. It often has ducks on it and my friend has quail on this land which I enjoy hunting. I assume that these...

Recently I bought a Fox Model B 20 Gauge side x side off Gunbroker. I saw the gun right at the end of the auction and bid without carefully looking over the pictures. I assumed that since there were over 30 bids it must be a good deal and I have been looking for a side x side such as this. After...

I've been wanting a Ruger single six or Bearcat for a long time and decided to get one. I called 4 local gunshops and they had nothing. I called 2 shops 90 miles away and one of them had 1 Bearcat which I bought. My wife has been wanting a SP101 in .22 and while they didn't have that, they had a...

Bought a brand new Ruger Bearcat today and it was functioning fine in the store. I got home, took it out of the box and could not pull the hammer back. I took it completely apart and put it back together and now it works fine. Any idea what happened on the ride home? Gremlins maybe?LOL

I replaced the factory spring in my Ruger Redhawk .45 Colt with a lighter spring. I wanted to make sure the spring would deliver the proper primer strike, but rather than heading to the range with live ammo, I simply primed a few empty cases and headed to the garage. Upon pulling the trigger in...

I've got a 7.5 inch Redhawk in .45 Colt. It has the factory square notch rear sight and ramp front sight with red insert. I can see the sight picture , but it is getting tougher and I barely see the red insert except in good sunlight. Aside from a red dot or scope, what are some recommendations...

How many guns do you guys take to the range? Yesterday, my son and I went to the indoor range and took 6 handguns and three rifles which is pretty typical. We stayed about two hours but have stayed longer on occassion. He outshot me with the .22 revolvers and I outshot him with the .45 Colt...

My Wife and I started shooting steel targets about 6 months ago. We have had no issues when shooting rimfires and handguns from.22 to .45. The problem has been my .308. I have a 3/8, AR500 target which said it was good from 150 yards with a .308 under 3000 FPS. I'm using reloads of 150 grain...

From your experience what has the greatest impact on accuracy, a cold barrel vs a hot barrel or a clean barrel vs a fouled barrel. I once owned a H&R single shot .308 that would shoot 6 inches below the bullseye with a clean, cold barrel. The next shot would be about three inches low and all the...

I just purchased an older Marlin 39A Golden lever action, made in 1976. It is a pre-safety. I took it apart and it was clean, and I oiled it. My Wife and I fired around 75 rounds through it and it had 4 or 5 misfeeds where it jammed the lever open. I was able to shake out or "coax" the round...

My Wife and I enjoy target shooting and both of us are in our 50's. While my .308 isn't painful to shoot, a lighter recoiling load for steel targets would be nice. My Wife might even try it. I'm not worried about sub MOA groups, but might like to try such a load on prairie dogs. Any thoughts?
