Gunbroker sent a reminder that they would be adding 36 states to the list of those they automatically collect sales tax for, acting as a "Marketplace Facilitator" (MPF). It appears that eight states are still not part of that, including Florida. I didn't bother to try and figure out all the...

I would be really angry about this if I was a shareholder. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/04/17/dicks-sporting-goods-to-destroy-all-unsold-firearms-pulled-from-shelves-after-parkland-shooting.html

This was an inexpensive revolver in its day... they made hundreds of thousands of them from 1884 to the 1940s. Any special interest or value, since it's serial #184? It's a 5-shot in (I believe) .38 S&W. Scratched number under grips matches the serial.

This is an enormous manual (~1150 pages) with just about every cartridge you can imagine discussed in detail, with a lot of general information about reloading. Copyright 2003. It is in a 4" binder and everything (binder, pages and partitions) are in excellent condition. Sections include...

I have an item to sell that may be of special interest to a collector of old Webley revolvers. Is there a forum dedicated to them anywhere, or an area of a more general interest forum?

After 7+ years and 23,500 rounds of slugging it out with a Lee hand press, I have finally found a setup compatible with my shortage of available floor space (no basements here in Florida). I think it was the full length sizing of .223 brass that convinced me, inevitably turning into a painful...

I'd like to see more options for those of us in Florida and other states that I frequent. http://www.armedcampuses.org/ has a pretty nice map similar to http://handgunlaw.us to help you know what is legal where. Obviously Ohio now needs to be updated...

Very encouraging... Congress should be getting a bill ready to go. https://pjmedia.com/trending/2016/11/11/trump-to-support-nationwide-concealed-carry/ https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/constitution-and-second-amendment/ https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/Second_Amendment_Rights.pdf

I finished off my first pound of Varget for .223 reloading today, and when starting with the pound I weighed 20 or so 1.6CC dippers and determined that each dip yielded 22.8 grains of powder on average. Over the course of 6 months I first did a dozen or so test rounds and then several sessions...

... do your .223 full length resizing with a Lee hand press and just a little lube. Yowza!

Yes, this post is a bit tongue in cheek, but comparing the two "rifles" below offers some interesting contrasts. The modern Hi-Point 995TS with a pistol grip is a good solid operator, but is front heavy and requires two hands to hold/point with ease. The standard magazine holds 10 rounds. On...

Congrats to the voters who rejected these onerous measures, which are apparently even more restrictive than Massachusetts state law. Which begs the question - why are localities allowed to impose stricter laws than the other residents of the state live under...

I've read that one reason that Civil War soldiers liked the Remington New Model Army, maybe better than the equivalent Colt 1860 Army, is that it was easier to switch out an empty cylinder with a full one and get it back into action faster without disassembling the gun. But I've also heard it...

I'm thinking of consolidating a lot of my reloads into an old surplus Pelican 1510 case (one with the automatic pressure equalization valve). It looks like it will hold 1500-2000 handgun rounds packed in cardboard boxes. Good idea? Bad idea due to fire concerns? I know it will be heavy but...

... at least in the opinion of these two NY Times opinion piece writers (a former Congressman and a California lawyer). http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/24/opinion/effective-firearms-regulation-is-constitutional.html?_r=0 Some of the more interesting (blatantly false) claims: Here we go...

I haven't written much about Bullseye shooting lately, but it's one of my favorite shooting things to do. By last summer I had gotten myself into the 830s a couple of times. Then, I had shoulder repair surgery in August - two tears fixed and bone spurs removed - and it set me back for several...

I'm an experienced pistol reloader, but am venturing into the brave new world (for me) of rifle round reloading with .223 Remington. I have the Lee Ultimate die set with the full length sizing die, collet neck sizing die, bullet seating die and factory crimp die. I have Winchester small rifle...

Picked up a 2nd carry license Since I split my time about 85/15 between Florida and Pennsylvania, I decided to pick up a Pennsylvania carry license. It's really easy - a trip to the court house for a picture + $20 and you're done. No instruction or shooting necessary. By contrast, Florida...

I haven't been this excited about a gun in a while. I was able to handle (but not fire) one a few years ago and was impressed. The one I'm getting has a plum slide and about 50 rounds through it. It is coming with the original box and two mags. The serial # is fairly low, 30xxx I believe...
