I've been considering completely refinishing a well worn Winchester model 12 but am having trouble locating instructions on dissassembly for this model. I don't feel brave enough to start taking parts out at random, but figured there should be some detailed instructions available either in paper...

I just finished my last IDPA match of the season. To date I shot every match entirely with my G22, and I did part of the match today with this gun also. The last half of the match I switched over to my Kimber Ultra Carry (was going to do the J-frame thing but I forgot my speedloaders so that was...

I just purchased a Walther P-38 at a local gunstore. I'm kind of curious about it's history. The pistol comes in a cardboard box with a military style holster. The Pistol itself has a grey parkerized slide I suspect the frame is an alloy of some sort as it has what appears to be a lacquered...

This summer I compeated for my first time in IDPA with a G22. I am hooked on the sport and will definitely do it again next summer, but there are a couple things that I would like to have done to my G22 in the meantime. I was looking at the IDPA site and they said that you cannot do any external...

I've been considering buying one of the little 22 rimfire pocket pistols and have been looking at both the Beretta and the Taurus, I like the size on the Beretta, but how do these stack up against the taurus? In my area they both cost about the same amount.

Has anyone noticed the price of Winchester Model 12's seems to be dropping? In my area I've seen several nice condition, untouched 12's selling for $175-$250 lately. Is that the going price or are there just some good deals in my area at this time? These are all 2 3/4" with un-ventilated ribs...

I'm thinking about a move to Northern Wisconsin and am interested in the hunting possibilities. I'm mainly a waterfowl and deer hunter how good is the Northern Wisconsin area for these species and how hard is it to find land to hunt on?

My new pedersoli 12 guage is going to be a bit of a problem to load considering I have to get the wad past the full choked muzzle. Fiber wadds I'm affraid are being cut when there pushed past this constriction and I'm sure there not going to produce good patterns. The answer seems to be the...

I was looking at Greeners famous book a few minutes ago and studying a table of velocities that he shows. It would seem that most shotguns didn't get much over 1200 fps in the day. Now I take a look at the shelf in our local gunshops and see modern steel shot shells in 12 and 10 guage listing...

I have a friend who's getting into reloading for a FAL .308 and he's looking for an economical source for .308 fmj. The only ones I know of are the 180 grain Sierra's at 13.99 per box, there's got to be some cheaper stuff out there. Thanks.

I've been thinking about purchasing a pre 64 Winchester 94 for purposes of refinishing. I'm not concerned too much with the age of the rifle, all I really want is a rifle with relatively undamaged metal with little or no finish left and in good mechanical condition. Before I go shopping I...

After being out of the muzzleloading shotgun game for about five years I just reentered with a brand new Pedersoli 12 guage. Purchased at Cabelas bargain cave for $266. Over the next few months until waterfowl season opens I will get the deluxe shotgun bag from Track of the Wolf that comes with...

I've recently decided to go back to the basics and use my old trusty S&W model 60 for IDPA competiton. I know this will go against everything that IDPA is starting to become, but I still feel that it is important to practice with a pistol that you carry just about every day. Still, I would like...

I just recently completed my fourth match in IDPA, to date all I've used is a Glock 22. However, I realize that this is not the gun that I carry, I bought it for IDPA and that's all it is used for. My carry gun is an old S&W model 60 in 38 special. I've finally decided to use the j-frame even...

How many people bother to reload the meager 25 acp round? I've been considering the purchase of a jetfire and would like info on reloading this cartridge. Considering they cost close to $10 a box in my area, I figure reloading it might be justified.

Just curious, many of us carry guns on a regular basis, but how many keep the name and number of an attorney handy? I figure if you ever get into a situation where you need to use a gun in self defense having a good lawyer who has handled such matters in the past might be a useful thing. I...

I posted a similar thread in the revolver collum, but though some of you guys might have a better idea about this. I'm interested in purchasing a Cimmaron Thunderer, but I would like to convert it to double action. I remember reading somewhere that somebody was making replacement parts for the...

I've always been interested in the double action Colt Thunderer revolver and was happy to see a well known manufacturer start building a reproduction. Still there are a few things wrong with the repros, they lack some of the lines of the original on the frame, but the biggest problem is the...

There is a pretty good deal on a Ruger Blackhawk down at a local gunstore in town, but the finish on it is pretty much shot. I've been considering buying it to refinish, I realize that the triggerguard and backstrap are both aluminum, I would replace these with aftermarket steel parts, but what...

I've decided to add a soft wire brush to my equipment for rust/ belgium blueing. Brownells suggests using their brushes at around 500 rpm but I have been unable to find any grinders or buffers that operate at that low speed. I've got a couple of old belt driven grinders lying around and I've...
