    New wheel weights

    Has anyone used new lead wheel weights to cast with? Do they work well or is the alloy of today’s lead weight not the greatest? I can make my bullets for 23¢ each.

    .357 Maximum Rimless (Max-AR)

    Browsing Starline and spotted some rounds I haven’t heard of yet. A few AR specific rounds, but the this one caught my eye. I was really only there to look at the price of .45-70 brass direct from Starline. But I’ve been trying to figure out popular Ohio rifle hunting cartridges and wondering...

    Who reloads for their harder to find ammo?

    I don’t just mean the stuff out dated 80 years ago but the stuff that not every store sells. Just wondering if anyone actually buys the stuff or does the majority just load their own? I know on this site most of you guys aren’t the average gun loader but trying to get some ideas. If .41 AE and...

    ITAR questions

    Is ITAR still a thing and has some of its reaches shortened? I read an article saying they might be possibly releasing some restrictions but can’t find if it happened. I wasn’t aware of ITAR, thought I just needed a FFL 06. So my idea is gone now unless it’s done away with. Secondly if I’m...

    So if one was to live near NYC, where would one go?

    My wife wants to be a publisher, NYC is the place to be for that. I’d like to avoid living in that state, but there’s rural places close by. I’d consider New Jersey I’m sure. Pennsylvania is probably too far. I’ve got a decent amount of guns but mostly hunting type. I do have a Baby Eagle that’s...

    Good deer hunting black powder cartridge

    I've been wanting an older single shot to deer hunt with. I want a black powder cartridge that's obsolete, at least very uncommon. I was looking at the Remingtons and Winchesters mostly but I'd like around a $500-$1000 gun. I was looking at the .45-120 Sharps but its too hard to find an...

    Savage 24V firing pin

    I have a Savage 24V, it's a .30-30/20 gauge. I haven't shot it in quite some time. I took it to the range yesterday and the rifle barrel would not fire. I took it apart and the pin part of the firing pin is broke, and missing. I was luckily able to find the spring in the gun. Numrich is sold out...

    Iver Johnson Trailblazer

    I got a free TrailBlazer and I'm learning why it was free. The finish is why I thought it was free, nope. It won't fire. About 4 times in 4 minutes of trying it went off. Any suggestions? This gun is very dirty, but I think it would fire still. If I can get it work I play to refinish the stock...

    Best levers?

    My dream is a bit ruined now, instead of getting one a year I can't now. A deal with a contract fell through, so no extra money like I had planned. I still plan to buy a nice lever action, it's just going to take longer to get the money. I was looking at a Winchester 1895 in 7.62x54, .303, .405...

    Cap and ball handgun hunting in WV

    Anyone know if its legal? I've read the hunter book, it doesn't say. What it does say is during muzzle loader season the only kind of handgun allowed is a single shot muzzle loading pistol. What about during regular gun season? All it really says is the gun must be or equal to a .38 if its...

    Making Holsters

    Anyone make their own holsters? I've been doing some research. I'm pretty sure I'm capable of doing it, but I got one question. Will lacing and glue work ok? Seems like it would be the easiest to do compared to stitching. I considered rivets but I'm not sure I'd like the way it would look. I...

    AR calibers other than .223?

    What exactly are my options? I'd like a 50AE but I want more than just a few shots out of a magazine. A 9mm would be ok but there's cheaper semi auto 9mm rifles out there. I'd like a medium range catridge too. Does anyone have experience with the .458 Socom? I understand its basically a 45-70...

    Unusual shotgun

    My friend just got a shotgun, trying to identify it. The name on it isn't the manufactures name. The gun is exactly like this one. http://www.gunauction.com/buy/11109293/shotguns-for-sale/single-shot/western-arms-12-gauge-shotgun-s3

    First time bear hunting

    Going bear hunting next week for the first time, also going to camp in the woods. I've deer hunted for 11 years, are bear similar? I know there's a greater danger, but that's it. The fact they can run up to 40 mph kinda scares me. I'm bringing a New England single shot 45-70 and my 10 inch (I...

    Propane tank penetration

    Moved to a new home recently, it has a bottle gas stove in one room. We don't intend to ever use it, also has an electric furnace in the house. Until the tank is removed from the yard, a big concern of mine is over penetration and hitting that tank. There's also close next door neighbors on one...

    Remington Single Shot

    Went to work today and the house wasn't ready so we hit up 4 gun stores on the way home. Nothing really grabbed my attention except for a Remington 12 gauge single shot. They are asking $109, I could get it for $75-90. It was a well used gun, far from perfect. I don't think I'll be buying it but...

    Low grain bullets

    I remember seeing these bullets for revolvers at a gun show that had extremely low grains. They were hollow points. They were around the 40-80 grain range. Can't remember who made these, anyone know?

    Pistol for wife?

    I'm on a budget and looking to get my wife a pistol for Christmas. The Kel-tec guns seem to be a decent option. Looking at pf-9 or p-11. I'm also considering a Rock Island 1911. My goal is to buy a cheap, yet still reliable gun. I know some of the cheaper guns aren't liked by some, just because...
