I got my PCR several months ago. Installed Tritium nite sights and CGW mainspring. The pistol is my EDC and fits my hand well. Very happy with the pistol, well worth the price.

Summer in South Florida is the same as winter up north. We stay inside & stay cool while watching for hurrycanes. (sic sic sic) Here is a (roughly) 1885 Whitney Rolling Block. Made by the Ely Whitney manufacturing company. Originally chambered in .38 CFC (Center Fire Cartridge) a totally...

Carrying reloads for a revolver is a PITA, speed strips get lost in your pocket, speed loaders are bulky in your pocket and uncomfortable on your belt. Here's a way to carry a pair of speed strips securely, easily and handily. Remora make pouches for autoloader magazines, little did they know...

I have a Remington 722, chambered in .222 Rem. With RP or Fed or Win brass, it ejects just fine. With most of the Lapua brass, it will eject normally until a little build up is in the bolt face and then the rounds stick at about a 30 degree angle on the end of the bolt. Sometimes it will...

Chambered in .222 Remington. 6 months of work, sanding dust, worn out fingers and much help from some excellent friends without whom this would never be. This rifle started out as the first rifle my dad ever bought. Somewhere around 1955. It had been neglected and abused by other family members...

I have noted my chargemaster going over or under, usually over and having to wait until the weight came up again after the charge number, on the display before deciding to use the charge. I read on the internet (so it must be true) that if a drinking straw were to be placed in the discharge...

Decisions, decisions. I have a Remington 722 rifle chambered in .222 Rem. In the mid 50's, it was the first (and only) new rifle my dad ever bought. It shoots fairly well but its stock has been abused when my other family members possessed the rifle for the last 20 years. So I have decided to...

Cleaning the hard carbon deposits inside the bolt carrier of my AR rifles is a pain in the nether regions. Anyone have solvent that will soften and or remove those deposits? Some propellants are worse than others, but they all leave their hard deposits.

I want my AR rifle's brass to last a long time. I got tired of case mouth splits after 3 or 4 reloadings. I did not want to get into case annealing. So, I examined how the brass was resized. With a standard full length resizing die, the neck is squeezed down by the die and then pulled back...

Will the slide from a Mkll Hi Power fit on a MKlll frame? Or will it with minor fitting?

In your opinion, what is the priority in brass preparation when seeking accurate reloads? Stated another way, what do you believe is the most important step down to the least important step in preparing your brass? Case sizing? Primer pocket cleaning, reaming? Primer flash hole deburring...

Does Missouri Bullet Co. still offer a discount to TFL members and if so, what is the code? Roger

I was given an H&R hammerless, top break .38 S&W revolver. It is in fairly good condition aside from being apart & missing a few pieces. It is marked on the top of the barrel: Harrington & Richardson Arms Co (with the o in Co underlined) Worcester.Mass.U.S.A. .38 S&W CTGE is marked on the...

I have an almost like new H&R .38 top break revolver. Its problem is that someone in the distant past disassembled it. I have found a source for the missing springs but am unable to find any information on how to re-assemble the revolver. Anyone have that information that they can share with...

For almost a year, I've been resurrecting an 1888 (+ / - ) Whitney Rolling Block rifle. Specifically, a Whitney 2nd model. (Whitney as in Ely Whitney of cotton gin fame's son running the business) Got it in a trade from my cousin for a fair condition caplock rifle. Both were from my...

December of last year, I traded with a family member for a rifle from my grandfathers collection. It is a Whitney 2nd model rolling block, circa 1888. (Yes, the son of Ely Whitney of cotton gin and Colt Walker fame.) I spent the last 8 months working on it. It's barrel has been re-lined in...

.32/20 chambered in a Whitney 2nd model rolling block rifle. Looking for information on the use of Accurate 1680 in that rifle, using 100 ~ 120 grain cast lead bullets. Bore slugs at 0.3115", cast bullets are running .313 ~ .314" Any ideas or suggestions?

Sunday, at the range where I am a part time range officer, I was helping a new shooter with his "sniper rifle" It was a Remmy 700 chambered in 300 Win Mag. medium heavy barrel in an expensive aluminum frame / stock with a suppressor. Using a bipod, he was getting erratic groups of about 4" at...

Wanted to borrow, beg or rent, a 13mm piloted barrel liner drill. I want to reline the barrel of my Whitney second model barrel. (to .32/20 WCF) I cannot afford to pay a smith to do it or to buy at retail the drill, liner, epoxy and chambering reamer. So I'll start by asking the folks here about...
