Howdy guys, I got a question for you. College expenses have made it necessary to sell of one of my rifles. The one I have chosen to part with is a low serial number 1903 Springfield made by Rock Island. I don't have the rifle with me right now, as I'm away at school so I don't have the exact...

I know this is going to be an oddball question, but does anyone out their mess around with reloading the 25 auto? What bullets are available for it?

What is your feelings on the 25 auto? I recently bought a Baby Browning style 25 auto and while I don't ever plan on using it as a carrying piece, I still find myself wondering how bad it would actually be. I know that the available cartridges for the 25 limit it basically to a 30 grain...

Hi guys, My dad just bought a Pedersoli Trapdoor carbine a few days back. What was the original load for the carbines? I heard that they used a 405 grain bullet backed up by 50 grains of black powder. Is this true? He fired some loads that we had for our Shiloh sharps and these were 500 grain...

Does anyone have any information on an over & under 30-06 Winchester once made. I was looking at a local gunshop and came across one of these. It looks like they used the frame from a 101, i've never heard anything about this gun and was wondering about it. Thankyou for any information.

Howdy, I found myself an intersting project gun. It is an Astra model 200 .25 auto pistol that looks very close to the Baby Browning. The gun is in excellent mechanical condition, but almost no finish, leaving me the freedom to reblue it without guilt. My problem is that I have no experience...

I just purchased an Astra model 200 .25 caliber pocket pistol. The gun looks very well made and while I have no interest in using it for self defense I was wondering what people think about this pistol, or the 25 in general. Does anyone know if these things are safe to carry with one in the...

Has anyone seen any street results of Blazers 45 ACP 200 grain hollowpoints? I have been testing them in my Kimber Ultra Carry and they seem to be reliable. I was just wondering if any law enforcement agencies use the blazer cartridges, or if any of the gun rags have included them in any tests.

OK, here's the situation. The social order in this country has collapsed and you find it better to run for the hills. The area you choose to go is pretty much unpopulated and the chance of running into other people is slim, but possible. Due to situations beyond your control you can only take...

I was just wondering how many of you love and admire the beauty and handling of a fine double. What's your favorite?

Hi guys, I am looking at adding Nickel Plating capabilities to my shop and am curious if anyone has had any experience with Brownells electroless nickel plating. Is it easy to use? Does it require any really special equipment? Thanks

I just want to say thanks for all the information that I have received from this site on CAS. You all have been a great help to me in getting aquainted with the sport and I hope others will learn of the great potential that this site has to offer. Once again thankyou, and keep up the good work...

I found a project gun. It is a underlever damascus 12 guage of good to high quality English origin. The lockup is loose on it and I see where there is wear on the lugs that has caused this. Would it be more desirable to silver solder a patch of steel and refit it, or would it be better to...

Does anyone have any experience with the Briley conversion tubes. I have a nice SxS damascus 12 guage that has absolutely terrible bores. I was thinking about using the 20 guage tubes that they offer. My question is how much does this affect the feel of the gun?

Hey guys, What kind of BP loads are you using in the 45 LC? I heard that the military was using a full 40 grains originally but cut down to 28 grains. Did they use 3FG or 2FG? Thanks for any information.

Hey guys, I have a Uberti 1873 rifle in 45 long colt and I am interested in trying some black powder loads in it. How much fowling will this produce in the action? My concerns are in cleaning the gun afterwords. I know about the barrel, but do you generally end up having to strip the gun and...

Yesterday I watched with disgust the way the media jumped on the bandwagon after another school shooting, this time in Mount Morris Township Mich. I watched as the media acted out their tired old debates on the need for tougher gun control laws; and in addition, I watched as our “moral” leader...

Does anyone know of a place that is reworking new model 95's to the .401 cartridge? I remember seeing one in the Rifle magazine but don't remember who did the work. Alex Johnson NRA Life Member

Hey guys, I was looking at a new Uberti Cattleman revolver in 45 long colt at a local gunshop. They want about $325 for the 4" model with the antique finish on it. The action seems fairly smooth and the gun looks good. Is this a reasonable price? How good are these revolvers? Alex Johnson
