    Deals on scopes for Black Friday?

    I'm looking for scopes this black friday. Primary guns they'll be used it on will be a Henry .327, Ruger Charger SBR, and in the future a Ruger American 7.62x39. Max range will be 300 yards for the Ruger 7.62, 200 yards for the Henry and .22 Charger, so I don't think they need to be super high...

    How common are crimped primer brass?

    I was priming cases the other day with my new RCBS Universal hand priming tool and ran into issues with the brass flying out when I tried to seat primers. This happened with Federal and Fiochhi brass in .45 Colt and Fiochhi in .32 S&W Long. I'm just guessing that it was something to do with...

    .45 Colt handloads for cap and ball conversions

    Should be an interesting topic as it goes on. I'm about to make some handloads for my 8 inch 1858 Pietta with Taylor's .45 Colt conversion cylinder. I've spoken with the guy at Taylor's in the past about how fast I can load the ammo, he said 1000 fps with lead bullets. Sounds fine, but it's...

    Anybody else agree the new Gunbroker layout is not good?

    For those who don't know, Gunbroker.com recently changed their layout. Before it was very easy and fast to use, but know that they changed it yesterday, it's a frustrating change that makes it more difficult to use. Anybody disagree?

    List of Older Charter Arms revovlers?

    I kind of have this fascination for old, but decently made revolvers from US companies like H&R, Iver Johnson, and of course, Charter Arms. I'm finding that I'm a big fan a older Charter revolvers, basically those made from the 60's up until whenever it was Charter became CHARCO in the 90's...

    I have a few reloading questions

    1. Can I load less powder than the suggested starting charge? I like to stay within published data, but for low weight bullets, I like a really light load. Take for instance .32 H&R Mag. I'm testing out light loads for lowest velocity possible. Yes, I know .32 S&W Long will accomplish that, but...

    To Ruger Charger Takdown or not Takedown?

    Tim from Military Arms Channel recently came out with an adapter to fit a Sig brace onto a Ruger Charger. I've always eyed the Charger as a future SBR candidate, so the news of a tool that attaches a Sig brace to the Charger put a smile on my face. That and the Q Erector .22 LR suppressor that...

    Hi Point 10mm carbine is coming

    New Charter Arms Revolvers (aka the .45 Colt Bulldog thread)

    And y'all said it couldn't be done. Well, Charter's done gone and done it. https://youtu.be/vpdfEqJwFC0?t=352 and they also got a .41 Magnum they're coming out with but who cares about that?

    Chiappa Muzzleloaders

    I've had in the deep and vast canyons of my mind an 1842 Springfield Musket replica and Chiappa seems to make one that's the best quality for a decent price of under 900 dollars. Chiappa has other cartridge guns I've been interested in, but their muzzleloaders I've never really looked in to...

    Which is the better value?

    I've got two pricey handguns on my list that I may or may not get as I've put these in the "wants" and not "needs" category. Here's what I'm looking at: Option 1) A Thompson Center Encore .460 S&W with iron sights AND a spare .308 barrel with a scope on it, no BUIS. Option 2) Magnum Research...

    NAA moves Ranger II into production. Shipping next month.

    From NAA CEO Sandy Chisholm: It's been since SHOT 2016 when NAA unveiled they were working on a new top break design and it looks like they will finally be available... albeit in limited numbers because they're not going to be able to make enough of these to meet demand. The $500 price is a...

    North American Arms... not garbage

    Months ago I made a thread called "North American Arms = GARBAGE!" or something like that and in it I described an issue that kept occurring with a Minimaster I own. I sent it back to NAA to have them fix it and I just wanted to update what I said because I don't want to badmouth a company that...

    Pietta Buffalo

    I hit the range this week and shot my Pietta NMA after a about a year of it sitting around and I couldn't have been more impressed with how well it shot. Unlike the 1851 Navy Pietta I have, it doesn't hit a foot high at 15 yards, it hits POA. So, because I'm now fully enamored with the New...

    Bumpfire stock ban compromise.

    With SHARE act basically dead in its current state and Ole Di-Fi introducing a bumpfire stock ban bill, which the NRA seems to be supporting, what will it take to get it through to the Republicans in Congress and the NRA that they need to work out a deal along the lines of "Suppressors for...

    If I wanted to buy a .38 S&W chambered revolver

    which would be the better choice: A Webley in .38/200 or an H&R Defender? Or would the original .38 S&W revolver be a better choice? I do plan to reload the ammo and shoot whichever revolver I may end up getting.

    What are some truly smokeless pistol powders?

    Alright, so by truly smokeless, I mean not Bullseye. It's a fast powder, which has its applications, but I can't accept that much smoke. I don't mind the mess and cleaning i have to do, I clean my guns every time I shoot them, but the amount of smoke Bullseye makes is crazy. Unique is nice, it...

    Marlin XT-22 with tube magazine is not accurate

    I bought a stainless Marlin XT-22 with tubular magazine a few years ago and have been putting it through some accuracy tests the past few years. I finally put it head to head with a Mossberg 702 Plinkster I also own and between the two, the Mossberg grouped better with most every ammo I tried...
