I've got a 10/22T that I installed the Volquartsen trigger unit into. It came with their extended mag release included. The problem I have is the extended "knob" of the mag release gets caught on clothes and things then ejects the mag when I don't want it to. For example when taking the rifle...

I have a Savage 6B auto that my Nephews always share when we go shooting. I recently picked up a Stevens 87AB at a garage sale for $25 thinking the boys would each have their own rifle to shoot. The two rifles are identical to each other, except the Stevens has a feeding problem. The shells...

I bought a Boyds laminated stock for my 700 BDL in 243 Winchester. I have been trying to get a perfect fit to the action and barrel but the magazine box/liner binds against the trap door and the housing for the trap door will not fit into the recessed area of the stock. I intend to bed the...

I'm thinking about subscribing, anyone have any experience with Load Data .com? Good or bad. Thanks E.

I'm looking for a nice 20ga auto for my Daughters to learn to shoot various backyard, clays presentations with me. I have a thing for Remingtons so my choices are find and older 1100 LT-20 or get a new 11-87 matte finish with a laminated stock for about the same money. I have my original 1100...

I have a very old Savage 6B 22LR rifle which was my Dads. While shooting it last weekend with my Nephew, the tip of the firing pin broke off. It's exactly the same as a Springfield Stevens model 87. I've been looking for a replacement firing pin and have come across one from a Springfield...

I bought a new scope for rifle #1 and I'm moving the "used" scope from rifle #1 to rifle #2. Do I just "install" it and see where it hits on a target? or is there a way of re-setting the "used" scope back to square one as far as starting over with the sight in on rifle #2 that will now wear...

I've already decided my scope purchase will be a bushnell 3200 Elite. But.... the 3X9 is offered in both a 40mm & a 50mm version. My purpose will be woodchuck shooting at 75-100 yards with a Rem 700 in 243 Winchester. What is the advantage of the 50mm? Thanks E.

I'll be as short as possible. I just fixed up a Remy 788 in 243 Win for my nephew. I donated an older Bushnell Trophy 3x9x40 to the fix up. Now I remember why I took this scope off years ago. It goes out of focus/foggy after an hour or more in cold temps. He wants to get a new scope for the...

I'm working on a Remington 788 in 243 Win. Here's details.... The rifle was purchased used, by my brother two weeks ago as a gift for his son with woodchuck hunting as the intended use. I do not know the exact age but it appears to of been kept quite well as the bluing is perfect and the stock...

I have been thinking about improving the "feel" of my 10/22T. The 10/22T is still wearing the Ruger laminated stock it came with. I'm not sure if it's just me... I feel all crunched up when shooting the 10/22T. I'd like it to feel more like my 700 BDL, you know... a bit longer. Question is...

Anyone here from Western New York? I caught part of a news cast on the radio this morning talking about our life-time pistol permits coming under some new law requiring them to need yearly renewal. (at a steep cost I'm sure) I missed the tail end of the news jockey's report. Does anyone have...

Does anyone have an idea what powder Remington uses in their gun club loads? :confused: I ended up forgetting my shell bag Tuesday night so I paid way too much at the club for two boxes of Remy's Gun Club loads. Much to my suprise when I was cleaning my gun this morning it was a whole lot less...

Like all of us I'm buying reloading supplies whenever I see them now. I was suprised yesterday when I stopped by my local gun shop and found Winchester 209 shotshell primers in stock. I bought the last two bricks he had. My pet trap load calls for Remington primers and 17.5 gr of Clays. The same...

I listened to a local talk show on my way home last night where the topic was "What do you think Obama will really do on gun control" The general thought was Obama will not have time in this term to get deeply into gun control. But... If he gets re-elected gun owners need to prepare. Caller's...

I was told today at our Sunday morning trap shoot that here in New York you can hunt on your own land without a license. You still must obey the D.E.C. season regulations. This came up after a fellow shooter read in our local paper that N.Y. is raising all hunting and fishing license fees a...

I wasn't quite sure where to put this post so here goes........ While digging through a bunch of my shooting gear I haven't touched in a really long time, I came across a brand new 20 round box of Winchester Black Talon ammo for 40 S&W. I remember this ammo when you could walk into a store an...

I'm looking to put a rear sight back on my 657 Classic hunter. I bought this revolver some 10 plus years ago and it already had a scope on it. I'd like some idea how to determine the correct base for the rear sight before I order or buy one. I understand the different blade configurations and...

I have a new Winchester Trails End edition 94 with the octagon barrel in 44 Mag. I bought this rifle about a year ago and have only put a box of shells through it, but had yet to put any shots on paper until today. I was out today enjoying the warm weather doing some shooting with the 94 and...

I was out doing some informal target shooting today with my 243. It's the first time I've shot this rifle since last fall. It seemed today that I had trouble holding focus on the target. I do wear prescription glasses for distance vision. So my question is.... I have a 40mm objective scope on my...
