    Ethan Allen by Hoppe's reproductions

    I've come across a variety of reproductions of muzzleloading pistols over the times I look on gunbroker and I've seen pepperboxes, derringers, duckfoots... you name it, so long as it's not a revolver, Ethan Allen by Hoppe's apparently made it. Prices seem to be pretty decent, quality looks to...

    How are the AR Stoner complete uppers?

    https://www.midwayusa.com/product/221905/ar-stoner-ar-15-a3-upper-receiver-assembly-556x45mm-nato-16-barrel First, I'm not asking because they're on sale right now, I was interested in them because they're the lowest price completely assembled uppers I know of. What type of accuracy can be...

    Popular polymer pistols not Glock or Sig?

    I'm a Glock guy, have been for years. It has its weaknesses, but I got into the Glock for the popularity of them and the amount of accessories and aftermarket parts and carbines that use Glock mags. However, I'm starting to think about branching out into something not Glock because I don't want...

    Mossberg MVP Patrol. Good backup for the AR?

    In my research for AR builds I've seen some good reports of the Mossberg MVP rifles' accuracy. Me being a person who believe 2 is one and 1 is none, I see the Mossberg MVP as good secondary rifle to the AR in the event that semi auto rifles like the AR become regulated into making them de facto...

    Primary Arms ACSS .22 LR scope

    I have a Ruger Charger pistol that I'm putting a brace on and want to use the fixed 6x ACSS scope that's made by Primary Arms for this build. The concern I'm having is because the Charger has a 10 inch barrel, is that going to affect the bullet drop and make using an ACSS etched reticle scope...

    Taurus with shrouded hammer?

    I recently found out that Taurus made snub revolvers with shrouded hammers like the S&W humpbacks are. Does Taurus still make them and about how much are they in price? In case my terminology isn't right, I'm talking about Taurus revolver with the little nub of the hammer sticking out so it...

    Advice on AR builds I'm thinking of

    I've decided to get an AR and I have three builds in mind, but I'd like to know if a build is the solution for them or if buying an assembled AR is the way to go. Here's the build list: 1. Long range AR with 20 or 24 inch heavy barrel with optimal twist for 75+ grain bullets. Possibly could be...

    Presses with 1-1/4x12 die capability?

    Might be getting into reloading .577 Snider soon and I'll need to buy a single stage press to do that. I know that Lee's cast press has the larger thread size, but what about their aluminum press? I think RCBS presses have the larger opening, but I'm not sure.

    Reloading 7.7 Japanese

    Owning an Arisaka has been on my mind recently, mainly because I think it's one of the last good deals for milsurp rifles out there. The only prohibitive aspect of it is of course the rarity of the ammo and it's price. So, because I don't want to cut off the prospect of the Arisaka, I want to...

    Question about this revolver's manufacturer

    https://www.gunbroker.com/item/755844610 I've never seen Heritage Sentry before. Are they the same Heritage as the one in Florida that makes the single action revolvers with the safety?

    Who makes aftermarket slides for Gen 4 Glocks?

    Specifically the Glock 20. I know Lone Wolf has slides, but they're all for Gen 3.

    Have you loaded FMJ .32 ACP bullets in .32 H&R Magnum cases?

    In my Lyman reloading manual, there is load data for using 71 grain FMJ bullets in the .32 H&R Magnum. On Midway right now, 71 grain FMJ Berry's bullets are going for 5 cents a round. What experiences have you had shooting .32 H&R Mag or .327 or any other .32 revolver cartridge with the .32 ACP...

    What are the best non-JHP .38/.357 bullets for self defense?

    By JHP, I mean jacketed hollow points and all hollow points. I'm looking for a good bullet to reload for defense against beast and man in .38 snub revolvers and .357 revolvers. My preference is it not rely on expansion for stopping power and effectiveness and usually when I think of such...

    Need advice on used 1862 Police I bought

    I saw a used 1862 Pocket Police online last week and since I'd had my eye on them for so long, I grabbed it for $250. It has the 6.5 inch barrel that I wanted and while I kind of know there's always the chance you could wind up with a rusted/pitted cylinder and bore, I took the chance figuring...

    Are Anderson lowers that bad?

    I was watching a live chat on youtube last night and the discussion took a heated turn when Anderson lowers were brought up. The context was a young man in Florida under 21 wanted to know what he should buy before the age restriction on guns becomes law and AR lowers were one of the them. One...

    How quiet is a suppressed .40 vs .45?

    I'm just wondering between the two calibers, I know standard pressure .45 is subsonic, but the 180 grain .40 loads usually are as well. Does that mean that they'll be equally as quiet when suppressed or no? I ask because I'm looking at getting either a Glock 21 or a Glock 40 (leaning 40 for...

    For those considering a NAA Ranger, watch this

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8ifuCTIWrA I don't know why, but I never thought that with how small these revolvers are that it would be possible to accidentally break open the revolver when cocking the hammer. After seeing this, just at the range during some practice shooting, imagine how...

    Taurus PT22 questions

    After reading the responses in the "Having trouble shooting LCP" thread, I decided that a small pocket .22 was not a bad idea as a trainer for the also small .25, .32, and .380 pistols. Unlike larger, non-pocket/mouse guns, I can shoot 100 or 200 rounds in a session without having any issues...

    Lightest weight AR buffer tubes?

    In my build for a Ruger Charger with a Sig Brace, I need a buffer tube to attach the brace to. Obviously it doesn't need to be metal, so are their any polymer AR buffer tubes out there? If not, what about skeletonized buffer tubes?

    Glock 21 First Time

    Went to a local gun shop today to try a Glock 21 they had for rent as I've been thinking about getting one and because I've never shot .45 from a semi-auto pistol. I brought my G35 in .40 as well to compare the two and I didn't feel much difference in recoil. In fact, I would say they were...
