    A Fired Round Ball.

    I thought this was neat. Here is a pic of a round ball fired from my 5.5" Barrel Remington NMA. This ball went through a gallon jug of water then into the dirt back stop from 25 yards. It went into the dirt about 8 inches or so. It DID NOT flatten at ALL. Which I thought to be odd. I cast this...

    Lead Round Nose bullets for S.D.?

    I was recalling someones signature, that said something to the effect of "The plain lead bullet is the most reliable projectile, it mushrooms consistently, and never breaks up". So with that said. What do you guys think of having them in the wheel gun for self defense? I'm sure the bullets that...

    FireWerks

    I got my 54R head space gauges in from FireWerks. They are quick and simple to use. Made out of stainless. At 40 bucks for the set you really can't go wrong. And you don't have to remove the extractor to check head space. They are clearly etched for easy identification. Just a little thumbs up...

    Snubbie Got Some New Clothes.

    I picked up these NOS Gonvalo Alves Target Grips for my square butt model 36. I was the only bidder so I got em at a reasonable price I think. They look very good IMO, and they have the S&W medallion which is what made me buy em. They look large on the revolver. But they fit and fill my hand...

    Silvery GOODNESS!!

    A simple craigslist wanted post, has yielded me 500+ pounds of silvery goodness. I will pay 65 cents per lb. I offered the amount to the fella, well because its clean and processed lead. Its cast into front end weights for a pulling tractor. He said it was all made from wheel weights. :D I'm...

    SOG's Website

    Can someone enlighten me on the SOG's website. I can only view whats on the their home page, and the accessories page. I don't see anything for the dealer site. I know they only sell to license holders and not the general public. But my FFL says he will order anything from them I want.

    Heritage RR on the way.

    I finally ordered one of these budget plinkers. Mainly because I want to slow down the rounds fired through my H&R 929. Not because its a priceless piece, but rather its obsolete and they don't make them anymore. Only Draw back is I'm losing 3 rounds capacity and no swing out cylinder. But who...

    Different Variants of the 1895 Nagant?

    Seems in my search for the end of the internet. I've come across mention of different variants (read makes, or manufacturers, other than the Russian factories) of the nagant revolver. Is this true? Do any of you have any info if so? I don't know what it is. But I happen to like the old clunky...

    Weird Shipping from Midway USA!

    I ordered a bullet mold and some other various gun stuff from Midway back on the 22nd. Well I got to looking at the tracking. It started off with UPS then when it got to Nashville it went over to a USPS processing facility. And USPS will be the end carrier for delievery. What in the world? Is...

    Who Marked their Revolvers FIE Italy?

    As the title states who marked their revolvers like that? I have a chance at a NMA marked like this. The guys says thats the only markings on the pistol and the "FIE Italy" is on the butt. And how did I become the Black Powder guy in these parts? Heck I haven't lived here that long.

    Correcting Timing

    I got the little pocket Remington in today from a trade I worked out with Logan. Cool little pea shooter to say the least. I like the little thing. But the timing is off, the cylinder advances a tad bit to far. Can someone explain how I should go about correcting this? I would like to try to fix...

    What is the value on one of these with the original grips in 90-95 percent condition (some holster wear)? 1.75-2" barrel? I'm not sure if its the 36 or the 36-1.

    Just when you think you have them figured out

    They go and tighten the groups up for you!! I was out blasting away at some water jugs today and I thought, hey lets do some groups. So the first group I fired with just 30grs, wad, ball. And it was respectable. But then, the second cylinder I put 30grs, TWO wads, then the ball. Looks to me...

    This is what I love about this place.

    I simply asked Logan if he would be interested in making me a holster like the one he posted. And he quickly jumped on it and gave me a how to lesson on the process. The holster is awesome, it fits the pistol like a glove, and I can easily conceal my Sheriff under a winter jacket no sweat. And...

    My daughter came home from school Friday, telling me all about the gun safety program she learned in her Kindergarten class. She recited the steps to me. STOP! DON'T TOUCH, LEAVE THE AREA, TELL AN ADULT. I couldn't be more proud of her and her school for teaching the program. I have always...
