    Charter Arms .22 questions

    Been thinking about a Charter Arms .22 LR revolver ever since I picked up my older Charter .357 Bulldog. My preference for the .22 is an older one also made in the 70s or 80s. So, here are my two questions: 1. Has anyone here ever had a .22 LR Charter revolver made in the 70s/80s or does anyone...

    Thoughts on OTF knives?

    The urge has hit me, I feel like a Vulcan going through Pon Farr and I need an Out The Front knife. There are a few choices out there, but so many of them are in the hundreds of dollars... I can't justify that expense. All OTF knives are going to have play in the blade and for that price...

    NAA Companion

    I feel like I've made this thread before, which goes to show you how re-occurring this gun is on my mind. So, I've been off and on about the Companions for a few years and I think the window has finally swung open and stayed open. I have a desire to own an NAA with the small grip and 1 inch...

    Ruger EC9s announced

    https://ruger.com/products/ec9s/models.html MSRP of $300 for what is a value priced LC9s. Only differences I can see is the sights are now fixed and are integral with the slide and there are less serrations in the slide.

    Crimp jumping in Charter Arms Pitbulls?

    I'll admit that I like the Charter Pitbull revolvers. They're unique and there are few revolvers out there meant for concealed carry that shoot rimless cartridges. We all know that Charter revolvers are fairly light due to their design and after reading a lot on the 9mm Ruger LCR, I have to...

    CAA Roni Carbine Conversions

    I remember SHOT 2016 there was a lot of news surrounding the Micro RONI that allowed putting a Glock into clamshell like device that had a buttstock and a rail on the top for optics, but it would legally be an SBR and regular, unimportant people would have to pay the $200 stamp. Now I'm...

    Frankford Arsenal Vibratory Tumblers on sale. Should I get one?

    I'm seeing them for $35 right now. I've had them on my watch list for a while as I don't have any vibrator tumblers at the moment, just my ultrasonic. I'm content with the ultrasonic, though it seems to take about 20-30 minutes to really clean out cases and primer pockets of carbon. I have...

    Anyone here try the new Pachmayr Guardian Grip yet?

    They came out back in October and ever since, I've had them on my mind. Haven't seen them in a store yet, but the LGS near me are usually a year behind in getting anything new in. Here's a link to the grips...

    Velocities with Trail Boss in lever action rifles?

    I'm trying to find out what velocities Trail Boss gives in rifle length barrels for .327, .357, .44, and .45 Colt, but I'm not having any luck. I can find the velocity when used in revolvers and from a few things I've read, it sounds like the velocity with Trail Boss isn't much more when fired...

    Are Arisaka's this cheap?

    I was at Cabelas today to get a refund on stuff and while I was walking by the gun racks, I saw an Arisaka for $199. The first thing I said to myself was, "What's wrong with it?" and now that I'm looking them up, it seems that's the going price of them. I can't remember if this was a 7.7...

    Snider Enfield rifles

    I think I asked about these a while back, but in a different section. Given how much I liked the responses I got in the Burnside thread, I figure I'll ask about these rifles here. So, bottom line is the Snider's interest me and owning one is on my list along with a Burnside and maybe a Martini...

    Savage Model 24

    A month ago I saw at one of the local shops a Savage Model 24 12 gauge and .30-30 combination gun. I'm a fan of oddities like this and it caught my eye, but I'm not interested in the .30-30 cartridge. Because information on long discontinued Savage guns is tough to find, does anybody know what...

    Burnside Carbine?

    I saw Ian of Forgotten Weapons video last month of the Burnside and me being a black powder connoisseur instantly became fascinated in the rifle. I looked up to see if brass cartridges are made and Dixie gun works does sell the brass. Being that I'm a machinist, I figure I could turn my own on a...

    Ruger's on a ROLL! New .357 Redhawks

    http://ruger.com/products/redhawk/models.html The Ruger Redhawk .357 line keeps getting bigger. Now being offered with 4.2 and 5.5 inch barrel lengths. I had said if Ruger made the .357 Redhawk with a longer barrel, I would get one, but since Ruger came out with 7 shot GP100's, I'm going with...

    MTM K Zone rest

    I saw this rest online and I liked that it can shoot both rifle and pistol. Originally was planning to get the Caldwell Matrix, but I don't like the design of the height adjustment for the front, reviews of it sound like it's weak and can't hold zero. So, I saw the MTM rest and I'd like to know...

    S&W SD9 VE vs Ruger 9E

    I'm not a big 9mm fan, I prefer .40 pistols and if I want to shoot 9mm I'll buy a conversion barrel, but I can't deny that the budget 9mm pistols have a draw to them. The two budget 9's that interest me the most are the S&W SD9 VE and the Ruger 9E. Not factoring price in at all because they're...

    Milsurp deals long gone?

    I was on youtube today and in the corner I saw a video of an 1895 Nagant revolver by Sootch00, so I had to watch it. At the end of the video Sootch said something to the effect that imports of Nagant revolvers were being sold for under $200 by retailers, yet he could only find them on gunbroker...

    Savage Model 1907 in .32 ACP

    I've had a .32 ACP pistol in mind for a while now. I like the Colt 1903, the NAA Guardian, the Kel Tec P32, but recently, I've really become interested in the Savage 1907 pistols. I just like a lot of things about them. I'd like to know what people who have them think about them? Another...

    Lyman Great Plains Pistol barrel change

    A while back on this forum somebody had said to me if I wanted a single barrel smothbore pistol with a large bore, reaming out a .54 Lyman GPP barrel would do the trick. I thought about that and it is something I would be willing to do and have kept my eyes out for a used .54 GPP, but the issue...
