I was invited to this year's wounded warrior hunt on Joint Base Charleston this past weekend and it was a great time. We had 12 hunters, each of us was assigned a local hunter each day and everything was coordinated through the game warden's office on base. I was originally scheduled to do a...

I just saw this pop up, looks like it takes their 5.7 pistol magazine. I don't have anything in 5.7, but this is kind of a tempting setup. https://ruger.com/products/lcCarbine/specSheets/19300.html

I'll preface this by saying I haven't shot a rifle since December, but made it out to the range today to try out the 521 with its new glass and compare it to my Christensen Arms Ranger at 50 yards with assorted ammo. The 521 is wearing a Leupold Mk 3 HD 4-12, the Christensen a Vortex...

I posted a few months ago about buying a 521T made in (I think) 1948. I wanted a rifle with peep sights and it fit the bill. Well, three months later, with the sights bottomed out its still 1 1/2" high at both 25 and 50 yards. Easy solution would be to buy a taller front sight post. However...

Saw one of these for $750 today and was very tempted. My two current 1911s are a S&W Operator (put in an Ed Brown MSH and a standard length guide rod) and a very early S&W 1911Sc (before it changed to PD). With my current budget, and .45 ammo not being very price friendly I can't quite justify...

These are two identical 18 pound recoil springs from a Shadow Systems Glock clone; the left is after 4100 rounds the right is brand new. Just wanted to put out a visual representation for anyone who wonders what spring compression from use looks like in real life.

I just won a gunbroker auction for a Remington 521T, for some reason I couldn't figure out why the price was so low (thinking it was a 541). Won the auction then had to do a bit of research on what exactly it was that I bought. Should have it by the end of the week but due to holiday plans it...

I recently got a great deal on an 870 Express with 18" barrel and decided I needed a project to do with it (somehow got outbid on the last few Wingmasters on gun broker). I put in a Volquartsen extractor, Scattergun Tech +2 tube, found a corncob style fore end and a trigger assembly from a...

I was recently given a prescription for glasses, a mild correction (I am far-sighted) and have never worn glasses prior in my 38 years. My last two trips to the pistol range have been absolutely abysmal. The optometrist thinks that my eye is still adjusting to seeing the lens in my field of...

It looks like Springfield is dropping what I want to call a High-power clone but I know someone will spot some type of difference that makes it not quite a High-power. MSRP of $699. https://www.springfield-armory.com/sa-35-series-handguns/sa-35-handguns/sa-35-9mm-handgun/

I just purchased a few magnetic "pistol mounts" off of Amazon, these ones are rated to 40 pounds or so. I installed one in the console of my car and it holds my pistol securely (Shadow Systems MR920L, basically a Glock 17 clone with a 19 sized frame). So here is my question: Does anyone have...

I have a box of Tubbs final finish rounds that I bought about 12 years ago and it has been sitting unopened on my ammo shelf since then. I am currently doing some work on an old Mossberg 800B (I got it sometime in the 90's, it was my great uncle's rifle) and after having a long cleaning session...

I was at the indoor range today (I try to shoot unsupported standing at 50 feet at least once a week, it really tells you quite a bit about how good of a shot you really aren't) and got a much louder report than normal (shooting Aguila competition, standard velocity). I could see smoke coming...

I've currently got a bid in on a 1970's vintage Wingmaster. I just looked in the safe and realized this will be my 4th 870. Currently have another Wingmaster of about the same vintage, a youth model 20 gauge that was my very first when I was around 11 or 12 that saw weekly use at the skeet...

Put some new glass (Vortex 1.75-5) on my Winchester 94 Timber Carbine the other day. Got it dialed in yesterday. 25 rounds of .450 Marlin out of a 5 pound rifle takes the fun out of it. Next range trip is nothing but .17HMR. Last three shots were touching each other but I'm worried that I...

I'm finally headed back to the States after three years, trying to get ahead of the power curve on ordering some "needs" and it looks like the MidwayUSA site has been down for a few days. Is anyone else getting this error? I have had some issues with my VPN on a few sites, just wondering if...

Back in the states for a bit, went to visit my father in Upstate NY. These little guys are going in a pan with some butter and garlic. Did all the damage in his backyard with a .17 HMR. Not a ton of meat damage if it didn't hit bone. Good times.

Before I took off for 3 years in Japan (1 down, 2 to go) I found that the rifle I was shooting most often was my 93r17. It shoots great, I do have a problem with a first round flyer (only with full magazines) but can consistently shoot .75" at 100 yards when I do my part and there is no wind...

I've been tracking my 16 yard line average since I picked up trap a few months ago. My average has steadily increased from the mid 80's to 92-94 ish. Just yesterday I ran my first 50 straight, followed by another 48. I stopped shooting pistol and carbine for recreation because it felt too...

Does anyone have experience with the 20 gauge 3/4 ounce low recoil load? My wife has taken quite strongly to clays shooting (trap and skeet) and she had been not quite satisfied with her 1100 Skeet. A fortuitous turn of events led to a 686 Silver Pigeon coming her way, but she's a bit recoil...
