Has anyone ever seen an issue with the second to last round in the magazine feeding incorrectly, jamming the action? Mine has been doing that since I assembled it... and it does not matter which magazine I use. I've tried 20 round Magpul's, a 30 round plastic mag, and a 30 round aluminum...

I REALLY like my mod 64 Smith, and was thinking about the whole auto vs revolver thing.. I have a Canik TP9 SA also, so I did a short comparison.. Fully loaded (17 rounds, 147 gr hp) the Canik actually weighs 3 oz less than my Mod 64 fully loaded with 125 gr loads. The Smith at its widest...

I read that there are some Republican congressmen and retired congressmen that are suggesting that we need to have a Constitutional Convention in order to get an amendment for a balanced budget. Are they INSANE?? This is a HORRIBLE idea... Many, many reasons. For one thing, if there is...

I snagged a new PT111 G2 at the gun show this weekend. I had read up on the reviews and tests, and opinions on the net, and had been debating whether to get one of those, or a larger, higher cap 9mm... the Ruger 9E was at the top of that list. Anyway, the PT111 won out, and I took it home. I...

I started a project a WHILE back, and have had it shelved for a couple of years. I had an old Stevens Favorite rifle given to me that was mechanically pretty sound, but the barrel had been abused enough to where the rifling was almost non existent, and rusty. I decided to rebarrel it for...

I'm trying to decide how to go on a .17 rimfire for an area of prarie dogs, where the longest shot would be around 200yds. Quieter would be better, if the ballistics requirements are met. I also need few to NO ricochets.. I was pretty sold on the .17 HMR, until a friend suggested the HM2...

Thought this was interesting on a couple of levels... on an archery forum I frequent, one of the guys was warning Texas hunters to watch out, because of the rattlesnakes out there. It includes a pic of a LARGE rattler that, according to him, took THREE shots from a Judge to kill it. I...

I've heard lots of folks denigrate the crossdraw carry.. thought I'd see what the thoughts were from foks here. It seems like if one was carrying concealed, say, under a light jacket, that the crossdraw motion would be more subtle, less noticeable than sweeping the jacket back for a...

I've read a lot of articles about how the Bisley grip absorbs recoil better, feels better, yada, yada... some of the articles by shooters I respect highly, like Ross Seyfried. What's the consensus from you guys that have shot them? I am thinking about a .41 mag with a 5 1/2" barrel...

Does anybody know what happened to Photobucket? I can't log on to it anymore, and it has a very disjointed main page. None of the links work for me... I had some good gun-topic type pics I wanted to post..:D Is there another picture sharing website that is recommended?

I have a "friend" who has issues with neighborhood cats... Ok, it's me. :rolleyes: We have a cat, about 17 yrs old, that lives in our garage. She gets out and roams the neighborhood, like all the other cats do. The problem is that if we leave the garage door up for her to come and go...

I've been thinking lately, which usually scares my wife :rolleyes: because I don't currently have a good medium to large bore revolver to carry as a "woods" kind of gun, like when I'm out stompin around in the woods, either hunting, or just out and about. It's always seemed to me that a good...

I don't know if this has ever been discussed, but I was thinking we should maybe have a discussion about doing a group buy on surplus powder. For instance, I would like to buy an 8lb keg of W680 powder, but it's just about not worth it, if I have to pay shipping and haz-mat fees for that...

Funny that this is the first time I've had to consider doing this, after reloading for 40+ years, but I have a question about primer pockets. I am reloading some of my Sellier and Bellot fired brass for the 7.62X54, which is from ammo that I bought maybe 12-13 years ago (light green...

Does anyone have any real-life experience using the 160gr bullet in the 6.5x55 on deer sized game? It was suggested to me that I try it, and it had crossed my mind a time or two, but was wondering if anyone has done it? I'm mildly attempting to find a good, accurate load that...

Do any of you use the Redding size die with the carbide expander ball? I really don't like having to lube the inside of the case necks, (yes, I'm lazy :rolleyes:) and have been thinking about investing in one of these stems. Do they really work without having to lube? I mean, I know...

I'm planning to scope my M44, and can't seem to find any reviews for the B Square scout mount. Does anyone have any experience with this mount? Or, if you have experience with any other type of scout scope mount for the Mosin, I'd like to hear honest pros and cons of your choice. I...

As an experiment, I was looking for a way to get my tin (salvaged lead-free solder) into useable chunks... so I though, why not cast them into bullets that will weigh about an ounce each? Last evening, I smelted down the scrap solder, and cast some .54 cal Maxi-balls. :cool: It was...

I'm thinking of getting set up to shoot a .17 caliber, using the Hornet case. It looks like a choice between the Ackley and the "K" version, with the Ack being slightly more available, and probably slightly more powerful? I'm looking for info from anyone that shoots either of these...

Ok... I'm cheap. correction... I'm on a limited budget. :o I want to get a .17 HMR for a minimal amount of money. I've always liked (and wanted) a Marlin, but I'm curious if there are any rifles out there that are competitive with the Marlin in accuracy that are, um.... cheaper. I...
