This afternoon I was at the local gunshop and was considering the purchase of a new Springfield 1911. The gun is I believe the basic model without the beavertail grip safety and plain parkerized finish. I have a Kimber 1911 Ultra Carry and I like the 1911 format, but since I would plan on using...

I've been thinking about relining an old 25-20 lever action. Brownells sells the liners and drills that I need and they mention that the liners can be attached with either acraglass or soft solder, I kind of like the idea of acraglass but I'm a little nervous about it's strength and durability...

I was in the gunstore this afternoon (gonna have to stop going there) and I saw an old Colt 32 sitting in the case. Anyway it looks like it's complete and in good mechanical shape though it's missing a lot of it's finish probably in 50% condition, almost looks like it might have been...

I've used the Dillon 550 quite a bit and can't say that I find it all that bad a press, but I've been thinking about buying a Hornady Lock N Load now for quite awhile, simply because it seems like my father spends a fair amount of money adding stuff to his two dillon's (conversion kits, dies) I...

Has anybody heard any more about this cartridge, a bottlenecked .380 necked down to .32 that offers over 1000 fps from a pocket pistol. I've heard that it's intended to be used in the NAA guardian pistol. Supposedly it offers more energy than any 32 or 380 +P load with 15% reduction in recoil...

Yesterday I got a call from my local gunstore saying that they had received my glock that I had them ship back to the factory about 2 weeks ago. I was having some problems with the extraction of cases that apparently was caused by a missing buffer on the extractor spring. Anyway, the good news...

I was looking over some used guns in our local gunshop this afternoon and I came across a used Beretta Tomcat for $199. I've been thinking about getting a pocket pistol for quite awhile, and lately I've been thinking about one of the Taurus PT-22's, but than I ran across this Beretta. So my...

Does anyone own one of the reproducton Spencer rifles that are currently being offered? I've been interested in one for quite awhile but I have to admit the 44 Russian chambering didn't interest me all that much, but I just heard that someone is coming out with one chambered for 56-52 (or...

Over the weekend a friend gave me a small Dunlap 6"x18" metal turning lathe that was laying in his basement for years. The lathe is actually in pretty good shape and shows very little use. While I've got a better lathe for my gunsmithing work; I would like to use this one for some smaller...

I've been considering buying a 1907 Winchester in .351 (can't find the .401 that I really want) and somebody had said that you could manufacture the .351 cases using .357 magnum brass by simply reducing the diameter of the rims. I don't have a reloading manual handy that has the dimensions of...

The other day I was browsing through a local gunshop and I came across a Winchester semi-auto 22 that was chambered in the original 22 auto. Has anyone tried rechambering these guns to 22 LR or is there more to it than would meet the eye?

I'm having problems with my Glock 22 and I want to send it back to Glock for service; however, it would appear that both UPS and Fedex are playing the same games with of next day air which seems to cost a fortune. By my calculations it will cost me $60 (both ways) just with shipping alone which...

A couple weeks ago I was shooting in an IDPA match when my Glock jammed on Wolf ammo. The rangemaster ended up having to remove the extractor on my Glock 22 to free the barrel from the slide so that the stuck casing could be knocked out of the chamber. Now my Glock is giving me a lot of trouble...

The other day I was at a local hardware store in my hometown and I saw 17 round magazines for the Glock 17 for sale. The magazines were an off brand, not Glock, but they were high capacity, brand new in the wrapper and they were selling for $24.00. I don't currently have a 17 but was thinking...

Trying to save a few dollars I decided to shoot some 40 S&W Wolf ammo this weekend at an IDPA match. No problems for about 30 rounds and than I got a jam so bad with the stuff in my Glock 22 I had to remove the extractor to remove the spent casing from the chamber. I've never had a jam of any...

Hi everybody, I'm wondering if the G27 could be converted over to .357 Sig, I know the other .40's can, but I didn't know if the frame was strong enough to handle the pressures. Just curious. Thanks.

Here's my dilema, I just put a used Glock 27 on layaway at our local store. In the past I've used my S&W model 60 for carry purposes, but I just bought a G22 and I like the feel of this gun so I thought that the 27 might not be a bad gun for carry since my 22 is used strictly for IDPA shooting...

I'm thinking about changing the sights and the trigger pull on a G22. How does one go about changing the front sight on the glock? Obviously it isn't soldered in, does it just pull out? Also what is involved in changing the trigger pull, to a 3.5 lb variety, I shoot IDPA competition only with my...

This last weekend I shot my first IDPA match with a G22. I was using a fobus paddle holster for it, which worked fine. Initially I felt that a plastic holster would work well with a plastic pistol, but I did well enough at the match so I am starting to think the ugly duckling deserves a bit...

I just shot my first match in IDPA this weekend and had a great time doing it. I shot this match entirely with a G22, but next time I would like to shoot at least one segement of the match with my primary carry gun a S&W model 60. Some time ago I remember reading an article on using the J-frames...
