Just returned from my second range visit with the new G23C. Today I put 150rds of UMC 180gr FMJ, S&B 180gr FMJ, and American Eagle 165gr FMJ thru it. Both range visits were at a local game management area range so that I could begin at dawn to check this issue of the ports blinding you in the...

Opinions please. Also does Winchester make the Silvertip in 40cal? My favorite carry ammo. I traded for a 23C yesterday and am just looking for comments from the experienced. Thanks.

What brand 22LR ammo does your 10/22 like best?

Are firearms and shooting allowed in the Gila National (or state?) forest near Silver City? What about in other state areas in NM?

Looking for a better trigger for my recently purchased Glock 17. The Glock is a second gen born in Jan 90. Accuracy and reliability are very good. I usually put the Glockmeister Competition 3.5 Trigger Assembly in my Glocks but I decided to try something different this time. I talked to Mr...

Made a quick visit to the range yesterday with the early second gen G17 I picked up last week. Put about 130rds of S&B and Ga Arms 115gr FMJ range ammo thru it and the NDF high cap mag that came with it. I did replace the recoil rod/spring with a new stock assm I had in my parts box but...

A lunchtime tour of the local gunstore again provided me with a purchase of an early second gen G17. Gun appears in VG condition with one factory hi cap mag for $389. It is a serial number KSxxx and is a post pebble grip but has the uncaptured factory rod/spring and a "pull the trigger" Glock...

My heart is set on moving to Wyoming in the near future but my wife has requested we check out NM also. This due to a warmer climate (shes a wuss!). I have heard that Silver City is a nice place. Are there places to shoot there? I am looking for nice small towns which are uncrowded. Mountains or...

I am in the process of building my first 10/22 and am interested in what mods you have completed and what has worked or not for overall improvement. Any pics would be nice also. My base Ruger is a NIB SS with laminated stock. My modified rifle will be a little different from norm as I want to...

When replacing the barrel either with .920 or standard do most re-install the barrel band? If not is the one screw thru the stock the only attachment used? Is the barrel band considered an accuracy liability ala Winchester lever action barrel band? Is it left off only when going with a larger...

I want to go with a shorter match grade barrel but keep using iron sights. Butler Creek has a 16.5in ultra lite standard size barrel with sights. Anyone use this or other BC barrels? Opinions please.

Finally got to the range yesterday to try out a new Promag 10rd and a new Ruger 30rd mag. The Promag was very hard to lock into the magwell and the first round of each full mag had to be assisted into the chamber by bumping the bolt handle. It would then operate 100%. Basepad also kept trying to...

I keep hearing Nyclad! Nyclad! And it is a good bullet but what about the Win 125gr STHP+P? More POP and very accurate in my revolvers. I also think the jacket would tend to expand a little better in 38spl than some.

Traded for the two tone Davidsons special edition model that only comes with one 8rd mag. Put 80rds of 230gr FMJ range ammo of various brands and 9rds of Win 185gr STHP thru it. First off the mag was very tight inserting it into magwell even after some lube. Has loosened up some after range...

Heard it on the tube in passing last night but didn't get all details. Anyway tube said hes the first democrat to address the conference in many years! Zell isn't really a dem he just hasn't figured it out yet :rolleyes: !

Looking for sources for checkered wood grips. Thanks.

In the industrial plant that I work (Maintenance Manager) I am known as the "gun nut" because of my interest in firearms, my Tact shooting courses that I take and my many range visits. I am sure many here make jokes behind my back, etc... However shortly after 9-11 I bacame very popular here in...

Picked up another NIB 85UL friday. This one is the alum/ss and the finish is very nice. Took it to the range saturday. Put 80rds of Ga Arms 158gr LSWC and 15rds of 158gr FMJ (to clean the lead out) thru the pistol. Trigger is very good and better than my S&W J frames. Accuracy was to POA and...

I have a set of rosewood grips with the high gloss coating (propa-whatever the glossy coating is called). I want to remove the gloss and give the wood a softer appearance. What should I use to remove the gloss coat and what to use to coat the grip afterwards? These are Taurus rosewood grips...

Traded for a NIB 637 last week and took it to the range yesterday. Ran 80rds of Ga Arms 158gr FMJ and a few Fed 125gr NHP thru it. Fit and finish was very good and more easy to remove powder residue during cleaning from the finish than my Scandi model. The gun shot to point of aim and was...
