I recently aquired some M/L shooting supplies from a friend that is getting out of it, all together. In the lot, was a plastic container of about 100 round balls. They Mic. .330 and so far have not been able to define what M/L they might be good for. I suspect that they might be for a revolver...

Today, attended the first local Gun Show after passing Shall Issue for Iowa. Took the opertunity to speak with a few certified instructors that are providing the required training, as well as our local NRA representative. All were in agreement on this being a good law and long in coming. All...

Often times, I repair, restore and make new RamRods for older sidelocks and kit rifles. I try to stay with good old hickory. If tips are provided that is good but often I have to provide some new ones. The smaller calibers are the biggest challenge. ..... :o Anyway, I'm about to run out of the...

Local dealer asked me to help identify an 1851 Navy, London model reproduction. Came in a wooden partitioned box, with flast, mold and #11 caps. Nothing on the box to identify it but does indicate that it was made in Iatly. However, there is a manufaturers stamp on the frame and barrel. It's a U...

The world's largest army? America's hunters I spend my some fall & winter weekends tramping around the woods in pursuit of a buck, a lot of my friends and neighbors do as well. Add up all the hunters in just a handful of states, and you come to a striking conclusion: The state of Wisconsin...

One of my buddies asked me to recommend a revolver to him. Here are his requirements and what I recommended. Perhaps Y'all could give your blessings or recommend something else. ....... ;) 1) Has to be a revolver in .357. 2) Wants to use it for home defense and hunting. 3) Prefers double...

During a weekly search on GunBroker, I ran across this sidelock M/L. Take a look and see if you can tell what the model is. I know but have to admit that I had to take a second look before I got it. Not playing games but see what you guys think. ...... ;)...

A freind of mine is looking to sell a T-series Browning Hi-Power. What does the T-series have that the others don't. Perhaps better said, is what's the difference. Thanks !! :) Be Safe !!!

A friend of mine's Father passed away and I have been helping him get rid of some of his stuff. He is not much into guns and neither one of us is into reloading. The problem we are having is that there is a bunch of brass and reloading equipment. Trying to come up with a price for his brass and...

First off, Have to admit that I am no longer into competition shooting of any kind. I do shoot often and quite a variety. My question is about the usage of RedDot type sights. I see that they are in common use by pistol shooters. I have been using RedDots for a number of years, on just about...

As most of you know, the new Ruger 10/22's are being supplied with synthetic/plastic housings and that includes the trigger. A friend of mine mentioned that he saw an internet shop, that will not do trigger/hammer target convertions, on rugers with plastic housings. He could not recal where he...

Yesterday a neighbor called to inform me that there was a Groundhog up in one of their trees. Said it had been up there for about 45 minutes. Now understand that around here, it's open season on these critters and there are about three of us that are always on the lookout. The Groundhog was...

Well, not sure where this is going to go but it is gun related. The main point I want to make here, is that once in awhile you can find great guns/stuff deals at Garage sales but not limited to just them. Deals can be had at auctions and flea markets. I'm sure we have all run into these and...

A friend of mine has asked me to assist him on the selection of an after market trigger for his Weatherby Vanguard 3006. Claims that the OEM trigger is just too heavy and feels he can do better. His primary use, will be punching paper but also wants to occasionally take it out to hunt. I have...

Recently aquired a scope base that fits a Ruger MK-II Pistol. I suppose it could fit the MK-I as well. Anyway, there are absolutely no markings that would help idedntify it. I know I have seen simular bases on 1911's. The mounting is on the right side and replaces that grip panel. Then is...

At one of our local gun shows, I saw a Remington .223 and while looking for a model number, I noticed that the barrel was bright blue and reciever was a mat blue. Then noticed that the barrel said it was made in Central Europe. Commented to the dealer as to what the deal was. His reply was that...

A friend of mine wants to do some trading and he has a Smith & Wesson Model 41, that has a 5" barrel; not the usual 5-1/2" or 7". This barrel has no front or rear sight. Just a Weaver style base at the breech end and no means of installing a front sight. He said that this is the way it came from...
