I am looking to put a quality scope on my SRH in .480 Ruger. I have decided on a fixed scope in 2x20 but not sure what brands will hold up to the recoil. How do Burris, Leupold, and Nikon stack up against each other? Are there any other "overlooked" scopes out there that should be considered...

I am new to reloading and just setup my Hornady Lock and Load AP. I am reloading .480 Ruger and have all the dies set correctly except the taper crimp die. It is a 4 die set for the .480 but there were no instructions on how to properly setup the taper crimp. How do I set it up and is it...

These questions have been bugging me for quite awhile. Can anyone fill me in on how the Boxer and Berdan priming systems were developed and why hasn't the whole world converted over to Boxer? Are there pro's and con's to the 2 types outside of the reloading issues? Also, what was the purpose...

I currently have a Reflex II for my Bushmaster on the RX06-10 (M-16 base) mount and it works great. However, when I transfer it to my OLY 9MM A2 upper it will not fit. The internal dimensions of the carry handle where the RX06-10 slips into is too tight. I am now looking at getting a Compact...

My wife is interested in getting a .38 Special and she likes the S&W 337 w/3 inch barrel but I am a little concerned that it might be too light. She enjoys shooting 9MM in a Khar P9 and 92FS and does not have problems shooting my Polish Tokarev but she definitely does not like shooting .357...

What is it? Who will win the admiration of all for their knowledge of firearms. This is a real functioning pistol - not doctored up.

I am interested in the finish but can't seem to find any pictures of how it looks.

Is it possible to take off the standard stock and replace it with the pistol grip stock that is used on the M1's or M3? I'm not 100% sure but it seems the receiver is very similar on all 3 of those shotguns.

I just got back my Makarov from Mac's with the Tuff-Gun Finish. The quality of his work and his customer service is outstanding. The pistol is a 1961 East German with OD Green frame and a black slide with contrasting hammer, slide release, barrel, trigger, safety and extractor...

I have a "J" frame 317 and I want to reduce the heavy double action pull. I was thinking about buying the Shooter Pack #17120 from Wolff's. Will there be any problems with light strikes on the rimfires? Also, does anyone have instructions on how to do the change outs yourself? Other options...

Has anyone here shot a SUB 2000 left handed? I am wondering if there is any blowback of powder into the face. I have an Oly 9MM upper and I had to modify the ejection port because of the powder blow back. I am now thinking about selling that upper and getting the Kel-tec because of the...

I just came back from the Rose City Gun Show and brought home a Polish TT33 for my growing Easter Bloc collection. Overall finish and condition is very good with only a couple of minor scratches in the blueing. The barrel looks like it has never been fired and all parts have matching serial...

Went to the range today and brought along 4 pistols (Kel-Tec P32, Khar P9, Makarov 9X18 and a CZ52). Here is what happened: P32 - 200 rds with at least 1 stove pipe or fail to extract on every magazine (used 2 different mags). Ok, so it is the first 200 and there needs to be some break-in...

I have a S&W Model 66 and I want to replace the red insert sight with a Hiviz. What size punch should be used to remove the pin? Also, the replacement sight needs to be drilled through once it is installed to allow the pin to be re-inserted. Should I use the same diameter as the pin when...

I am starting to get some wear on the Bruniton finish on my 92FS. Not yet bad enough that I am going to do something about it right now. However, it did get me thinking since the pistol is a combination of steel (slide) and aluminum (frame) - what finish will work on both? Outside of sending...

Has anyone here polished their slide rails or other mating surfaces on their pistols. I have a Beretta 8045 and the where the slide rides on the frame it is a bit rough in some spots. I was planning to take some Flitz. Is this ok to do? If so, what do you use and how have you done it. Also...

I'm going to take the plunge and get my first autoloading shotgun. I have narrowed it down to the following 3 all in 12 guage with a 24 inch barrel. Benelli Super Black Eagle Remington 11-87 Berretta 391 I like the feel of the Beretta and the Benelli better than the 11-87. But I would not...

I was shooting my Model 66 today and tried out some HSN and Ultramax. Both were very smokey and it turned my stainless steel handgun into a black smudge. At one point I was doing a quick series of double taps and the target was hidden behind a cloud of smoke. What causes the smoke clouds and...

I am placing an order for a Classic 36 safe from National Security. However, I still can't decide which lock to get. I like the looks of the mechanical over the electronic. But I also like the quick access of the electronic over the mechanical. What do you use and what are the +'s and -'s to...

I have been thinking about getting into reloading and have been researching the old threads. During my search, I see that people prefer manual indexing rather than auto. Why is that? What are the +'s and -'s to using an auto index? Also, what is a lock out die?
