George, I'm very interested in learning about gunsmithing but due to time constraints, I fear I must be self taught if I am to do so. Can you give some direction? I have no desire to be a commercial gunsmith but I do want to be a VERY competent one.

Deer season is closed. Turkey season won't open for a couple of weeks. I've got about three days off-time to go hunt hogs and coyotes!

What do y'all think of a six inch S&W 27-2 new in the box, never fired, and in a presentation case with all the tools for $500? Too much? This includes shipping to my FFL.

This is a nostalgia question. In the late 70's I purchased a used FN HiPower. The pistol was blued-about 95%. It was marked as I remember on one side of the slide with Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre. I believe it had Grand (Grande?)Puissance on it also. It was also marked Browning...

I've had a Kimber Classic Gold Match for a few months now. The first couple of hundred rounds throught the weapon produced about four or five failures to feed. I was not pleasedl-visions of having to send it back to the factory were running through my head. Since then I've shot about a...

I shot up all my ammo in .44 Rem Mag and .45 ACP at the range the other day so I just couldn't resist ordering a couple of cases from Georgia Arms today. Got the 300 gr JSP for the .44 Rem Mag and Gold Dots for the .45 ACP. Heh,heh. I can't wait. How about all of y'all donating 50 cents each...

What would be a good price on a used, non-collectible, very good condition Model 17? Anybody know of a good source? My favorite shops are empty of this model-I just missed one:( Really, I need two. Doesn't everyone? I've been reading too much. I keep on and I'm gonna have to work more than...

I've been reading Elmer Keith's "Hell, I Was There" and "Keith on Sixguns" recently and of course, I decided to try some long range revolver shooting. Last week at the range, I took some clay pigeons some one had missed and left on the range and put them in a row on the berm 150 yds downrange...

Last week I took my latest toy to the range-a Remington 700 PSS .300 WinMag with Badger Ordnance .mounts and a Nightforce NXS 5.5X22 scope. The berm is at 150 yds so I set up my targets at 100yds. I was using Black Hills 190 grain molycoated ammo. After firing a few rounds and fiddling with...

I recently purchased a Remington 700PSS chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. I've heard that the trigger weight is easily adjusted but what exactly is the procedure or where can I find it? The HS Precision stock will need to be torqued to the correct specification after the trigger is...

All my life here in Georgia, I've heard Democrats describe themselves as "yellow dog Democrats" usually the older ones. As in, "I'd vote for a yellow dog if it was a Democrat." I got to thinking about the Democratic nominees for President over the past 40 years after talking with a gunowning...

I've tried several searches in two different forums. No results returned in each. I know the subject of vendors for M1A magazines has been in the Art of the Rifle. ------------------ Byron Quick

Is there any dealer that discounts these scopes at all? Thus far, the best I've been able to find is about $50 below list. I'm also looking for the least expensive source for Badger Ordnance rings. ------------------ Byron Quick

What scope do you use on your Remington 700 PSS or similar rifle and why? I just purchased a Remington 700 PSS in .300 Win Mag. I am starting to lean toward the Leupole Mark 4 16X fixed scope with a mil dot reticle. ------------------ Byron Quick
