Buying a second relaoding press for 12 gauge and .410. Which is the better press of the two ( yes, I know that there is not a great deal of dough to be saved in reloading most shotshell applications, except I will be reloading buckshot and slugs for practical shooting- then it is well worth it!)

OK, it takes a wee while for the magazine to hit New zealand, but I do want to wish you all and the staff all the ( belated) best, and another sucessful 25 years of the best shootist magazine in the world.

WHat bits from a 870 and 1100 can you mix 'n match? Some bits, like the recivers are just too alike....

Lads, I put a Vang barrel on my 870 after a mate returned from Gunsite and brought me one. I took it out for a night shoot, shooting rabbits. As you know, we do tend to blast a few rabbits in these parts and short barrel , pump action, large magazine "hoses of death" are your usual choice. I...

I wish to refurbish my fathers Anchutze rifle. How do I go about this?

Where is the best spot to mount a sling swivel on the butt? Is it OK to start drilling in the plastic of the stock?

Got my extended safety for my 870, (Plus a Vang Barrel, nice). I am struggling to remove the safety, which is one of those horrid lockable ones. Vang has helpfully said " place a finger over the detent spring hole and push the pin out". I am assuming this is detent which is about half an inch...

Fellas, the story that follows I would normally find VERY hard to belive, but for the fact I know the buyer, the gunsmith and the dealer and they all have independently verified this story. My mate, a decent sort of chap who is an infantry officer, on returning from Afghanistan decided a model...

Picked up a few boxes the other day. Can anyone tell me the point of these, apart from "a bit of a hoot"?:confused:

Well, a few weeks after getting back from yet another overseas trip courtesy of the New Zealand Army ( 16 current overseas operations, and growing!) I decided that a new rifle was the go. I went into see my gunsmith and he offered me a BRNO 611 which he had rechambered for 17HMR with a Walther...

Thoughts? Comments? Nice gun , NIB, good price, 2 magazines.

Any recomendations? I feel like something light weight, pulpy, with lots of guns inside. Can I recommend anything by Stephen Hunter particularly "Point of Imoact" which has a wonderful Cameo wih a thinly disguised Jeff Cooper- and a long discussion about the Model 70 Winchester, and "Pale Horse...

This is not original, but still.... Why I Don't Shoot Blackpowder! Understand that from the time I could put together a rational thought, I've been fascinated by guns. My mother used to prop me in front of the little round picture box as a baby so I could watch men on horseback shooting at...

I am having the devils own job taking the handguard off the Colt. IT is tight- very tight and they just wont come off. Any tips on how to get them off?

Lads, I want to get a new railed fore end for my AR. I want to be able to mount an aimpoint or similier, without hacking off the carry handle. I have seen a variety that puts the aimpoint on par with the peep sight. Can anyone suggest a variety?

So. I picked up my COlt HBAR AR15. Very , very tidy, virtually new. No external wear, gun closed like a bank vault. I should add that Ar15's were banned from import in the early '90s. Its a bit of a long story, but they are quite pricey in NZ as there is only a limited number avalible. ( I had...

As we all know, a shooter with a "floating" ( I think that is the proper term) firing pin will leave a small dent on the primer of a chambered, and unfired round. Has anyone, ever, struck a round that has been repeatedly chambered, but not fired, discharging after repeated loading? The reason I...

1960's Miruku, hand engraved, very tidy, closes like a bank vault. GOt it for the Boy. He's only 2, but still.....

As an aisde, what is the difference between and HBAR and normal AR15? Is it JUST the barrel weight, or do they tend to be better shooters?
