    Taylor "Old Randall" .45 Colt

    Just ordered a Taylor "Old Randall" yesterday. It has a matte type finish to it that is actually pleasing, unlike some others I've seen. Brass frame and trigger guard, walnut grips, 5.5" barrel and Taylor tuned action. Can't wait to pair this one with my Pietta "Gunfighter" in .45 Colt. You...

    Win model 1400

    Saw a Win model 1400 at a shop today. Super clean, 28" VR barrel with one screw-in choke. Not familiar with these. Oh, its a 12ga chambered for 2.75" only. What can you guys tell me about this? Asking price is $250.00. The choke is mod. Thanks guys.

    Ted Williams in .270

    Had a friend[RIP Don] who had a very nice looking and fantastic shooting .270 called a "Ted William's" on the barrel. His was the only one I've seen. Who made that rifle? It looked like an FN, but I'm pretty much guessing here. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Mossberg 500 ported barrel.

    Asked about this on another forum and pretty well got blasted for thinking of buying a 12 ga with ported barrels. Now, I'm not all that keen on pros and cons on this, so, thought I'd ask here. Just getting back into shotguns, a little for trap, but, mostly for upland birds. I have two 20ga guns...

    Ruger No.1 discontinued?

    I read this elsewhere and was wondering if any of you people have seen or heard anything similar. The Ruger No.1B, well, all No.1's are fantastic rifles, so I hope this isn't true. Glad I have one[30-06 in No.1B]. Thanks guys.

    Low/off center primer strike

    I have a Ruger No.1 in 300H&H. I've put about 180-200 rounds thru it, and, I'm getting off center and low primer strikes. Is this Ok,normal for No.1's? Or, is there easy fix for this? What do you guys think? Thanks.:confused:

    Tauras model 66B6?

    Curious if anyone here has opinion/knowledge on this revolver. I'm a bit interested in it, just don't know anything about them. Would be shooting .38spl/38+p mostly. Thanks.

    Hi-Point

    Bear with me here, but after reading some reviews here and there, I'am considering buying one in .45acp, well, just for the hell of it. Now, the question: Are they legal to purchase in Ca.?

    RIA 1911's

    I'm sure this has been tossed around before, but, I will ask: For the guy or gal, who just wants an inexpensive but reliable 1911 in .45acp for just plinking, HD or whatever, and doesn't want to spend too much money, is there anything wrong with these? I was on another forum, and this one...

    Silver State Bullets

    I saw these on an older posting on this site, and it appeared shooters didn't care for them. Granted, the posts were a couple of years old. Well, by chance, I picked some up; 158gr swc for my .38spl[Ruger Blachawk], and with two different loads, they shot very well. The loads are 4.5gr Unique...

    .38spl & 38spl+P

    Using my newest edition Hornady manual, I've been loading my Ruger Blackhawk New Model with some pretty mild loads of .38spl's. Here's the load: 158gr swc, 4.2 Unique or 4.4 Universal. These are pleasant to shoot, and accurate enough, great for plinking. Here's my question: Looking at my Speer...

    Hornady data

    :mad:I've been handloading rifle cartridges for some time now without many problems to speak of. But recently, I purchased the latest Hornady manual[#8], and right off the bat, there are two "problems" with the first two cartridges I load for. First up: 270 Win. Same test weapon,barrel length...

    "CLAYS" for 38spl and .45acp?

    I'm sure this has been kicked around, just couldn't find it. I've been using Unique and Universal in said cartridges and they work very well; but, came across some "Clays". I do not seem to find a lot of loading info for handguns with this powder. Any help or load data would be greatly...

    New bullet questions

    Got a hold of some "Silver State Bullets" for my .38spl. They are hardcast 158swc's. Anybody heard of or shoot these? Next one is: Sierra 45/230grFMJ Hardball #8815 "Tournament Master". How about these bullets? Couldn't beat the price on the Sierra's: FREE! Any info on these two bullets would be...

    .45acp OAL/230LRN

    OK, I've read Johnny Guest's post on 230LRN and the OAL of 1.270", but not much shorter. It says the same in the Speer manual that I have. My question is: On the Hodgdon website, the OAL for 230gr LRN is 1.200". They do not say what bullet they test. I'm just wondering why the difference in...
