    Shooting get-together in Clarksville/Nashville, TN?

    Hi. Would anyone local be interested in meeting up to go to the range w/me? I'm always looking for someone to shoot with. I posted something like this last year on another forum and about 5-6 folks showed up; it was a good day. I'd like to do it again while we have this great weather. PM me if...

    Kleanbore ammo & Whitney Wolverine question....

    I have an original Whitney in the box and have been told that the ammo that came with it was Kleanbore, the type with a box like in the attached pictures. I want to complete the package and need to find someone who can tell me if there are date codes, if so, how to read them, etc. Are there any...

    I got it: A convertible Double Nine!

    I just won an auction for a Hi-Standard Double Nine Convertible. I've been looking for a good one for a year. Nine double action rounds of .22 LR or WMR! This has been one of my Grail guns. It has gold plated engravings, too.

    First rifle??? .357???

    There's this kid, my friend's son, who's young, smallish & very slight of build. My friend knows little of rifles; he bow hunts. His son wants to go get a deer this fall. I'm trying to minimize the recoil for him. There'll definitely be no shots taken longer than 125 yards, max, more like 60-100...

    Should I scope a Mitchell's Mauser?

    I have a heavily refurbished, numbers matching (I checked!) K98k with the wartime Byf factory code, which was bought from Mitchell's Mausers. I know that their refinishing everything pretty much kills the collector value. Would I harm it more if I had it drilled and tapped for a scope? The rifle...

    Opinions sought about M6 modification....

    I recently acquired a Czech-made Springfield M6. A guy I know will re-chamber the .22 LR top barrel for .22 WMR for less than $50. Honestly, I would enjoy it much more that way. Should I? Would I be killing the value of something that may be one day worth a lot?

    Why no Steyr mentions?

    I went to the range yesterday with a friend who had just bought a new 9MM Steyr. I shot a few magazines and was impressed. After I shot it, he told me that it was a DAO pistol. I wouldn't have known from the trigger pull. It was really, really good. I was just wondering why I don't see many...

    The new Glock: prototype picture....

    I don't see much difference between this and their present models. Not enough to justify a whole new model name, anyway. However, it is somewhat curvier & more streamlined in appearance than the currently available Glocks.

    Who is Hogan?

    I've been wondering for a while now and I thought I'd ask. Why is this section called "Hogan's Alley?"

    A nice old H&R....

    I just bought it online. A 9 shot 1952 H&R 922 with a 4" barrel, box and papers. Tomorrow, the money goes out and I wait for delivery. Long live the C&R license!

    An SKS "Paratrooper?"

    I had a normal Norinco SKS and traded it for another Norinco SKS with a 16" barrel and no hint of any bayonet attachment points. It looks like it was built that way. Are these rare? What is it? The guy in the store called it a Paratrooper. It's a really handy little rifle. Thanks for any info.

    Any original Whitney Wolverine experts here? Some questions....

    Does anyone know if hypervelocity ammo will damage an original Whitney Wolverine? Will the new Wolverine's magazines work with an original? Are the new and old ones mechanically the same? Thanks.

    S&W 39-2 for $300?

    A guy I know has an S&W Model 39-2 with one magazine. He bought it new a long time back. It's never been fired and it's been loaded once. The ramp is new looking, not one blemish. It's from about 1975 or so. It was in a desk drawer for a while and slid back and forth every time he opened the...

    I found one, a real Whitney....

    I walked into the gun store to arrange shipping for another gun and saw it in the case. I bought it before I touched it. It's an early one, too, before they had to drop the "Wolverine" from the right side. Thank you for giving me the oppurtunity to gush. I shot it for the first time today. It...
