I've been talking about getting a new concealed carry piece for a long while now. I really wanted a Kimber Micro9 but the price was just more than I could justify. Then I narrowed it down to a Ruger SR9 or a Glock 19. I still couldn't make up my mind then I read about the S&W M&P Shield9. I...

As I recall Corbon used to be considered the best but I haven't carried a 9 in a long time. What is considered top grade defensive ammo these days? Tony

I found this in a box of old family photos. It was sent by my great uncle Harold Rambo to my grandfather. The hand writing on the back is hard to read but the pic was taken in Pendleton, OR but unfortunately there is no date on the back and I can't make out the date on the license plate on the...

I was in Cabellas today just looking around since I don't get over that way very often... Anyway they must have had 20 Swiss K31's on the shelf. If the store here has that many, they must have gotten a ton of them. The best part was they were from $399 to $450... Tony

Anyone here have any direct experience with this pistol? Tony

Is the per-bankruptcy /reorganization Springfield Armory M1911's worth more than the post reorg. models? I know the older models had all the machine work done in the US as opposed to the later ones that are all imported... Tony

It's been a long time since I'd seen it anywhere and the places I was told had it on line were out by the time I got there. My favorite local supplier of reloading supplies had in in stock. I'm a bit broke and only got one can but fortunately it goes a long way... Tony

I've been seeing these do it yourself 80 frames for awhile and I'm wondering how likely it is that a regular home tinkerer could actually finish one hand have it be functional? Any one here try it? Tony

Is it better to sell a CR rifle alone or in a package deal with brass and dies or would it be better to sell them separately? Any suggestions? Tony

Is the .30 Rem AR a dead round already? I was considering a rifle in this caliber and I find that no one has the brass in stock... Tony

I'm toying with the idea of getting one of these and I've never seen one up close much less know anyone that has one. Are they worth getting or should I hold out for CZ? Tony

I was out shooting a couple days ago and my 3 screw Ruger Super Blackhawk started jamming. I messed with it for awhile with the cylinder out and figured out that the transfer bar wasn't popping back after a shot was fired. I found that if I cocked it while pointing up like with a black powder...

I bought this rifle a few years back but I'm just getting to where I shoot it regularly. When I got it, it came with a bunch of ammo but every round, the case cracked and masked the problem. Now I'm loading rounds with new PPU cases, the rounds are hard to extract. Here's what the case looks...

I sold my Handi Rifle .25-06 awhile back because I needed the money and I figured I'd rather have this caliber in a bolt gun anyway. So now I go shopping and all I and find that don't cost a fortune have 22" long barrels not the 26 incher like my Handi had... So as I see it I have the...

I've been having problems with a Hornady .300 Blackout sizer die. I would either stick a case or get lube dents. I've been reloading for over 30 years and I consider both of those beginner mistakes. After awhile of dealing with it, I took the die apart and flushed it out with Ed's Red and...

Anybody here plating gun parts at home? I did copper plating in a high-school science class back in the dark ages. As I recall we were told soft metals like copper, nickel, silver and gold were easy so long as you had the correct solution. I was given a power source for home electroplating...

I'm a complete neophyte when it comes to AR's but I'm thinking of jumping in with both feet and building an AR. Stripped lowers start around 50 bucks and go up to crazy expensive from there. So how do I know what's good or good enough or should I hold out for something more expensive? Next...

I was thinking about using Guncoat to finish a hunting rifle but the problem is I don't have access to an oven long enough to bake it on. So I got the idea why don't I send it out and have it powder coated. Anybody know if there are any down sides to having this done? Tony

The news has leaked out that there will be no more H&R single shot rifles next year. It seems everything they touch turns to manure... One thing for certain, they will never see one more cent of my money... Here's the list of great companies they're taking down... REMINGTON BUSHMASTER...

Anybody here ever shoot there and can offer any opinions on the place? So far I've only driven by it on the way to pick up my grandkids and it looks like it might be a good place to take the boys to shoot if they allow .22 rimfire rifles. Tony
