I own a S&W Model 25 that I use for paper target shooting at 25 yards. Has anyone worked up an especially accurate load for something like this ? Bullseye/accuracy ? I have no interest in defensive loads, hunting loads, terminal performance. ........just accuracy on paper I have been...

The title of the thread says it all: How much ammo, do you anticipate shooting in the REST of your lifetime. In other words, if you were going to put together a stockpile of ammo, or reloading components to last the rest of your lifetime, what number do you arrive at ? This is NOT one of these...

I have two Smiths that need sight work and have some general questions. The first gun is a Model 686, with an 8 3/8" barrel. When I purchased the gun, it had a scope mounted on it and did not have any rear sight included. So, I would like to replace the rear sight. Can someone discuss with...

I am a big fan of the Ruger .22 autoloading pistols. I have owned one since I was 9 years old. I currently own four, each a little different from the others. As I get older, my eyes arn't what they used to be and I have decided that I want to equip two of them with an optical sight (one with a...

What bullet/load would you recommend for deer hunting in .357. I will probably never actually do this, but you never know. If I did, I would probably be doing it with a Marlin 1894 Carbine, but give me your pistol loads as well. I also wouldn't mind any stories or experiences with using this...

I took out my Marlin 1894C this evening. I have owned the rifle for years; I don't know, could be 10 years ? I have fired the rifle before. Not much. I used it to chrono some loads to see what effect various powders had on velocity with varying barrel lengths, but that is another story. I fired...

Does anyone know anything about Mac-1 Airgun Distributors. I have been thinking about buying one of their air rifles for quite awhile. I have been on their website as recently as last week (maybe the week before). Now that I decided to order one, their website doesn't work. I found an e-mail...

Several years ago, I bought a Taylor tube Sten MK.II. It was a real piece of crap. Using the sights it shot something like six feet to the left.................. I recently sent the gun to Don Quinnel who assembled a Sterling parts kit using my registered Sten tube thus making me a Stenling...

I am getting ready to put together a rifle for long range shooting. The rifle will be somewhat general purpose, but I want to be able to compete in our local 1000 yard matches (if I could ever get off work to do it). The first thing I am going to buy is the scope. At present, I am thinking of...

I own a Taylor tube gun that shoots like six feet to the left. I remedied the situation by mounting an optic on the gun so I had adjustable sights. (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=23019&highlight=Sten) At a local machine gun match, a couple people mentioned to me that there were...

I am interested in buying an 11.5" upper for an AR15 and a 14" Vang barrel for an 870. Can I just print out a form 1 from the net and get the CLEO sign off etc. ? No dealer involved ? Order the upper/barrel after I get the tax stamps ?

CNN is conducting a Quick Poll on putting Reagan on the $10 bill. Americans for Tax Reform and its Ronald Reagan Legacy Project have strongly endorsed this proposal that is quickly emerging as the consensus for those that wish to honor Reagan on our nation's currency. Hamilton, currently on...

I own a Taylor tube, Sten gun. And, I am considering the idea of mounting a Weaver rail on it so that I can have better sighting options, more than likely some type of red dot sight. At present the gun shoots way to the left and I can't correct this with the fixed factory sights. I realize that...

Does anyone KNOW where I can get the wood furniture for a Hakim rifle ? How about a front sight ? Yes, I have tried Numrich (gunparts.com) I was given a Hakim that some moron tried to carve into an AK look. It is unusable as is. I have since located another Hakim that is missing the front...

I have owned a number of 1911s over the years from several different manufactuers. I have used them for everyday carry, IDPA, and IPSC. All were unmodified, straight out of the box 1911s and I never experienced the slightest bit of trouble. Then along came the Springfield Armory. I got a lemon...

Some time ago, I purchased a 686 with a 4x Leupold scope on it complete with a Leupold mount and rings. There are two problems with this set up. #1 The rings, base, and scope are blue while the gun is stainless. #2 The scope is 4x, which I think is too much magnification for a handgun scope. So...

As I noted in a different thread, I recently bought a fairly large lot of reloading components. Among the items, I got about 35+ pounds of VihtaVuori N3SL Powder. I did a web search and see that it is listed as a shotgun powder, but I can't seem to find it on any powder burn rate chart. Does...

I recently bought a large lot of reloading components at a terrific price. Now I am trying to figure out what to do with this stuff. Among the items are in excess of 15,000 small rifle primers. The only caliber I load that uses small rifle primers is .223 Rem. I load maybe 300 rounds a year for...

The subject line says it all. I finally got my Sten. Now for all the paperwork.

I am currently spending a couple weeks in Eastern Ohio visiting my parents. I have a few guns that I keep here for my enjoyment while visiting. The highlight of my Eastern collection is a S&W Model 17 that my father has owned since before my birth, as far as I know. He offically gave it to me a...
