I pulled out a box of 505gr minie's that I had cast some years ago. Now they are totally white with oxide. Question is... should I try to clean them, or just shoot them as they are? I won't put them in the tumbler because it would most likely damage the skirts. I thought there might be something...

Side by Side, Springer "TRP" and STI "Edge". Compare 2 45's of roughly the same value. Notice that the grip of the modular 2011 Edge is only slightly wider that the TRP. Excepting mag capacity, these 2 pistols are remarkably similar in balance and just how they feel. STI has done a good job...

I've been searching for a replacement barrel for my Glock 24C. Does anyone have a suggestion for a ported barrel that doesn't blacken the front sight after a few shots? I've still got the factory barrel, which is accurate and feeds flawlessly, but it is the original barrel (I guess gen 1) which...

Does anyone have experience with a Wildey? I recently purchased one in 45 win mag with 7" bbl. I've got a box of 230gr hard ball and a box of 260gr jhp and would like a starting point on the gas adjustment without burning through a bunch of rounds. I found one article that says to start with the...

I do not have a Star Universal Reloading press in 45acp for sale. That's why I'm posting here instead of the classifieds. But for anyone seriously interested in a Star that is complete, and I mean complete, a retiring gunsmith friend of mine has one for sale. He got if from the family of a...

I got this 60's era Ruger #1 heavy barreled (Douglas) action (300 win mag) from a friend (Bill) still wrapped in the original oil paper. Bill had ordered it for testing purposes because he and some partners had formed a company to build the "Omega" rifle.I ordered the English Walnut stock blank...

It's new enough to be a percussion cap but without any marks or proof it will remain a mystery. The old German I bought it from was certain that it was made by a small shop riflesmith in Germany. It is approx 69cal, damascus, rifled with double-set triggers adjusted to 1oz. The stock and hand...

This 80's model Remington 700BDL has always been a favorite of mine. I thought some new wood would be a good idea. Stocky's thumb-hole was a great choice and it would have dropped right in if not for the Jewell trigger. Of course I'm not replacing the Jewell so with a little inletting it fit...

My son out in the NM dessert on a very windy day. Fun though? Yes...:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yam510H2TBs

I bought a 541S new back in the 70's. It did not come with sights (tapped & plugged) but I was scoping it anyway. Now, I would like to take it back to open sights. Does anyone know which sights were intended for it? My gunsmith thinks the same as came on the 700BDL (ramped front). The receiver...

my long time friend's STI 2011. Awesome gun, one of a kind... and yes he is known as "Mad Dog". :D

Greetings from San Marcos, TX. I recently picked up a used Wildey in 45 win mag, a caliber that I have considerable reloading experience with for the Contender. This gun is in pristine condition and my guess would be a box or two of ammo; however, there seems to be a slight problem with the...
