This guy bought $3000 worth of raffle tickets for an AR-15 and won it, with very public plans to destroy it. "this is one rifle that won't commit mass murder" he said in one interview :rolleyes: Apparently gave it to someone for safekeeping in the meantime, now OSP is investigating whether he...

I picked up a lightly used Springfield 1911A1 last year (GI milspec model) and it does feed and eject reliably but softly arcs the brass directly up and back at my head - they often land on top of my head and sometimes into my forehead. Kind of takes away from the shooting experience...I'll...

Entire story: OBSOLETE LINK REMOVED Aggressive bears are uncommon here in Oregon but we've had two bear incidents in the last couple of weeks, and a cougar stalking 2 young girls as well. Stay safe out there! STAFF EDIT: When I clicked on the "Entire story" link, I got a "404 Not found"...

I have what I believe to be an original 1875 Remington but I'm not sure how to really tell. There are no factory markings on it other than a "625" on the bottom of the frame in front of the trigger guard. It appears to be chambered in .45 colt and a loaded .45 colt round fits into the...

A co-worker just brought in an old flint lock smooth bore and was hoping someone might know something about it. The top of the barrel is marked "Stoeger Arms Corporation" and "Made in Belgium". There are proof marks on the left side of the breech, it has a fairly plain looking stock, 2 barrel...

Well, new to me anyways and my first muzzleloader. The guy I bought it from took very good care of it, and it has just the right amount of "patina" for my taste. I've been kinda waiting for something to come along and for $125 I just couldn't pass it up :p Of course I had to go out and spend...

I am a reloader but have never messed with black or Pyrodex in cartridges, and I'd kind of like to try some Pyrodex P loads in my Gaucho .45LC. From what I gather you simply fill the case enough that the bullet will compress the charge lightly when seating (or use a filler wad and less powder)...

Put the first 80 rounds through my new Taurus Gaucho .45LC the other day, and at the end of the session, the cylinder pin was stuck pretty tightly - took a lot of effort and some padded pliers to remove it. It appeared that there was some peening from the cross pin going on, making a tiny ridge...

My wife's brother and I each purchased a new Taurus Millennium Pro PT140 this week and we took 'em to the range tonight. Not a bad little pistol at all for only $300 - we each sent about 160 rounds downrange with no stoppages at all, using UMC 180gr bulk pack, Federal Premium 180gr Hydra-Shok...

My buddy has an older single six (3 screw) marked ".22 caliber". He has always used it with .22LR ammo, but the other day I shot it and had 2 split cases, the rest were substantially bulged. The cylinder has no markings and is fluted, but it sure looks like .22 mag chambers to me. I'm...

I'm helping my brother repair a recently acquired S&W model 60 in .38 spl. This poor little pistol apparently got stuck and someone (he's not owning up to it) tapped on the cylinder with a hammer or something to unstick it. I've fixed that problem (cylinder/ejector rod had backed out) and...
