So I have a Thompson Center .50 caliber Hawkin. Recently, I got a Lee Minie ball mould for it to see how well that will shoot in it. If left as they come out of the mould, it won't slide easily down the barrel like minie balls do in my '53 Enfield. I will be running them through my Lubrisizer...

Well, I have a new love of my life and she loves shooting. Yes, this one may be a keeper! But, the problem is she's right handed but left eye dominant do when it comes to long guns, she shoots left handed. In order to appeal to her love of shooting and help her grow in the sport, I've been...

So the blackbirds have returned and in need of blasting. I blasted a few today but I seem to outrun the trigger on my Benelli M2 leaving me with a dead trigger. Is there another automatic shotgun that cycles faster that I won't outrun?

So I put in a bid and won a Beretta 84F from CDI on gunbroker. I'm still waiting for it to come in and I'm sure it will need a deep cleaning before I put some rounds through it but I'm curious about what to expect with this pistol. Its just not a pistol that sees much discussion on the various...

So I 've been thinking of adding my CZ82 to my carry rotation. However, the problem comes in with trying to find a decent open top magazine pouch for a spare mag. I have used the Bianchi 20A magazine pouches and like them but they don't make one for a double stack .380 ACP /9mm Makarov...

I spend a bit of time in the local fun store when I go to work waiting on my train to actually get called. The last time I was in there, I was looking at both a Savage 110BA in .338 Laupa and a Remington 700 Long Range in .300 Winchester Magnum. Well, the Savage is kind of spendy and the...

Hans Hunt is my local state represenative down in Cheyenne. God bless this man and I am damn proud to have voted for him last November. When someone moves here, it's probably because it's a good place to live and the way we have lived here has made it what it is. Now when some left wing...

So given the choice between a Thompson Center Hawken or a Lyman Great Plains Rifle/Great Plains Hunter, which one do you prefer and why?

Any idea where I can get a sear spring for an Armisport 1853 Enfield. Any idea if the Taylor's sear springs would work?

I've narrowed down the selection for my son's first rifle to one of these two rifles. Which one is the better quality and value?

I have a Remington 870 20 gauge Express defense model that I put a Remington youth synthetic stock on to shorten the length of pull. However, both the original stock and the youth stock have a higher comb height than I like. If I get down where I see the bead on top of the receiver, my cheek...

What's the opinion about the Choate MK-5 adjustable buttstock? How well does the recoil pad work and how heavy are they compared to other synthetic stocks like the factory Remington stocks, Speedfeed, Hoage, etc?

So when it comes to your average 870 Express with the normal cap, we know there are dimples that have to be removed for the extension to work. What does Remington do with the 870 Express defensive models that come with the factory extended magazine tube? Do these models use the Express...

I was taking a look at a CZ-82 in the store today and it does feel pretty good in my hand. However, depressing the magazine release is NOT an easy task with the thumb rest of the grip getting in the way! Anybody elsenotice this or am I doing something wrong?

So I just finished building my boy's new M-4/CAR-15 hybrid for when he's older (he's 2 1/2 right now) in the event of any future bans that come about. I also began thinking about getting a decent sized 9mm to stash away for his future as well. Problem is that I can grip most any handgun out...

Last week the wife and I went to the Shootrite Firearms Academy in Langston, AL for a combative carbine course. I have to say that Tiger McKee was an excellent instructor. Being an Air Force CATM instructor, I make mental notes of the way instructors teach and I can tell you all that Tiger did...

Yup, I'm old enough to remember when SWAT magazine had Chuck Taylor's opinions of the various rifles, shotguns and submachine guns in the 1983 SWAT Showdown edition. Of course I was still a kid when that magazine came out but to this day, I still have it and it's one of my favorite reads into...

Well, I will be taking leave here in October to go back home for a few days and I want to bring back a few of my rifles. However, traveling with fully assembled and working rifles on an airline can be a hassle as well as a target for theft. Does anybody know what the airlines stance is on say...

Anybody know off hand what the difference between the Winchester 1200 and 1300 is?

So we know that the .45 GAP's performance is on par with the standard pressure .45 ACP ammo. However, it's performance is still not as good as the higher pressure .45 ACP +P ammo that has a similar chamber pressure as the .45 GAP. A lot of shooters however tend not to shoot a steady diet of +P...
