    Which Of These Three

    You get invited to hunt where grouse, pheasants, ducks and quail are all possible game. You can only bring one gun. Of these three, which do you take? A 20 gauge Italian over and under, not fancy, but light and well- balanced. A good grouse gun. A Savage 311 side by side 16 gauge...

    Bronco .22/ .410

    Does anyone remember the old Bronco or Bauer .22/.410 over and under? They were cheap to buy and had skeletonized metal stocks. The Bronco's had a crackle brown finish and the Bauer "Rabbit" version had a black finish. Anyone got one they'd like to part with?

    It's Raining Short .357s

    For a while I rarely saw a two and a half inch Smith .357 here. Suddenly there are two of them available here, one stainless and one blued. They are about $100 apart in price due mainly to the custom grips on the stainless one. As a TFL member in good standing, I want both, of course. It...

    Olympic 9mm In Subgun

    I took a 50 round box of Olympic 9mm 124 grain ammo to the range yesterday and shot it through a Madsen M50. There were no jams, no failures to feed, and it was accurate at the short range I was firing from. I have seen some complaints about this ammo in subguns but it worked perfectly in...

    .50 BFG Arrives!

    I picked up my Serbu .50 BFG yesterday. Quite a rifle. Well made, simple and tough looking. I'm going to put a red dot sight on it to try it out while I get the cash together for the scope rings. I have shot a Grizzly Big Boar now and then and am interested in seeing how the BFG is...

    .41 Magnum Fest

    I got to the range this morning. (0ne of the advantages of being a self-employed ink-stained wretch is that I can shoot on Monday morning.) I took three .41 Magnums, two Redhawks and a Smith M57. Ammo was Remington factory "Police Loads" mid velocity rounds. I also had some reloads. The...

    Black 870 Flies Off Shelf

    I was at the gun store this morning looking at handguns when a guy walked in and asked about a shotgun I hadn't even looked at yet. It turned out to be an 870 Express that had been "tacticaled" with the addition of a synthetic stock, extended tube mag, a sling, and maybe a few other odds and...

    Price Check: Barrel Cut And Crown

    What seems to be the going price for a smith to cut and crown a revolver barrel and reinstall a front sight? I am thinking of picking up an old HS revolver and having the six inch barrel cut to two or three inches. Cheap snubby shooting practice might ensue.

    Nice Revolvers

    Plot and scheme mode is fully engaged! Earlier today I saw a very lightly used two and a half inch Smith & Wesson M66 with some beautiful wooden grips. Not far away was a Taurus 415 .41 Magnum, a gun that has been making me curious for a while. There was a Redhawk in the case too, and some...

    Shot An Erma EMP?

    Anybody shot an ERMA EMP? It is an early German subgun with a side magazine like the STEn. It was designed by a guy named Vollmer and predated the STEn. I may get a chance to shoot one one of these days, but haven't yet. Info would be appreciated.

    Any HP Mags That Don't Work?

    I was buying one or two HP mags from Midway whenever I could get them for about a dollar a round. I have several with different followers and some have smooth sides and some don't. Floorplates are different too. However, all work. I haven't tried any of the 10 rounders, don't see the point...

    Experience With Reisings?

    Have any posters here had experience with Reisings? I've shot a couple and generally like them. Too bad magazines are so expensive.
