Getting started in .44 Mag loading this afternoon, looking for some input on loads. Shooting from a 6.5" SBH. I have some 240gr plated bullets from Xtreme that I'd like to use for a more mid-range plinker load. Xtreme recommends not pushing their bullets much past 1200 fps. Also have some...

Last year I got a CMP Garand that came in right before Christmas. Over the last 6 weeks or so I've been working on refinishing the new CMP stock with tung oil, and documented the process with an album of pictures. Thought you guys might enjoy taking a look. http://imgur.com/a/gT6fb

At this point my gun collection has most of the basic areas covered, so I'm looking to expand the "just for fun" department. .44 Magnum or .45 LC, what would you choose and why? I don't anticipate using this for anything other than range fun. I will be reloading for whichever one I get. And...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD7pd03L43k Cool video. The sparks/embers that get thrown off of the case mouth when it's ejected are particularly neat!

I bought a LW barrel for my G19 to shoot more lead with it. I knew about their reputation for tight chambers going in, but I'm running into a slightly different problem... I have some 115gr plated and 124gr lead rounds loaded up. The plated drop into the chamber and cycle fine. The lead...

I ordered a CMP Special SA Garand back at the beginning of September, along with some ammo, clips etc. Got the ammo and accessories in the middle of October, but no word on the rifle. After hearing from several people who'd ordered Specials and got them fairly quickly, I contacted the CMP on...

Specifically the 4 die set with the factory crimp die. Has anyone seen them in stock recently?

http://www.guns.com/2013/06/28/the-amazing-works-of-sigs-master-engravers-photos/ I'm usually not a huge fan of putting a lot of effort into making guns look fancy, but those are just incredible.

Anyone have any suggestions on grips to fit a new model Blackhawk (.357 Mag, if caliber matters)? It looks like the previous owner of my gun over tightened the grip screw so that the nut cracked the wood and now they won't tighten up enough to stay in place. I'm interested in something that's...

I've been ordering supplies for the last few weeks and next week am planning to start my adventure in reloading for .38 Spl next week. I have a box of Hornady bullets and a box of Speer, both lead SWC. It's my understanding that both are coated with some kind of dry lube. Based on some online...

So, I have The ABC's of Reloading as well as Lyman's 49th, after reading through them and doing some research online I think I'm ready to buy some equipment. Seems like a progressive press would probably be better for my usage - mostly pistol cartridges, at least to start. Planning to start...

Got my first centerfire revolver, Ruger New Model Blackhawk .357 SS 6.5". 1975 production according to Ruger's serial number charts, finish is nearly perfect and the pawn shop had it at a price that was just too good to pass up. I've been going through the test on this list. I'll say up front...

Looking for a simple red dot set up for my AK. I'd prefer something that will let me still use the iron sights, and if possible keep the original wood furniture intact. I've been looking at this side mount...

http://imgur.com/a/3O249/all The letter translation, courtesy of a user at the forum where I first saw this: My main thoughts: 1. Can we agree that this settles the "how well will Glocks hold up???" questions? 2. The recoil and firing pin springs both averaged a life of ~170000 rounds...

Pic: http://i.imgur.com/mXoJYtO.jpg This is a 1931 hex receiver M91/30 I got last week. Noticed this rust spot during cosmoline removal. I think the pic does make it look worse than it actually is - it's more of raised area where oxidation has occurred rather than pitting down into the barrel...

That is, something that fits midway between my LCP and Glock 19 - for when I want more than the LCP, but don't want to lug around the Glock. Definitely want 9mm, at the least. I wouldn't be trying to pocket carry it, but would like it thin enough for very comfortable IWB carry. I keep coming...

Reminder #1, this is why you always always always wear glasses. Not sure if it was my ricochet or someone else's, range was crowded, but it popped me just above the left eyebrow and landed on my sleeve. That circle is about the size of a penny. Reminder #2, always look at your ammo.... I...

Been looking at getting my first wheel gun. After looking around for a bit I think I'm settled on a .22 so I don't have to worry about keeping another caliber of ammo in stock. Found a guy locally selling a lightly used Single Ten for just over $400. He claims only about 50 rounds through it...

IIRC, NC law requires you to notify the sheriff who issued your CHL within 30 days of a move. In a few months I'm going back to school full time and will be living in an apartment near campus for the next 2-3 years. However I will be maintaining my current address (my parents house) on my...

Like the title says, looking for something IWB to CC a G19... been reading a lot of different threads and so on, and I think I've narrowed it down to 3 choices. Don Hume PCCH Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe Anyone have experience with any of these? What's your opinion?
