My neighbor has been deployed overseas. They have a modest collection from a previous marriage and have asked me to set some prices and help them sell the firearms. I'd like to hear what you think they are worth. Of course, I get first dibs :D 1) S&W M60-10 3" adj sights .357 no lock S/N CDW...

Stopped by a local sporting goods (hunting & fishing) store today just to pic up some '05 hunting regs and and license applications. Of course I had to snoop around the counter that has handguns in it. Lo and behold, there was a guy trading in 3 guns, one of which was a Taurus M445 2" 44 spl...

As the title states, what would you consider a high, average, or a low price for a ever-so-slightly used 342PD?

What is involved? Just putting on a BDL stock, floor plate, mag. well, and a new follower?

For those of you who might be wondering how the great little experiment of re-introducing wolves into Yellowstone National Park, Idaho, and Montana is progressing, here is a letter to the editor from the Dec. 2, 2002 Casper Star-Tribune. Editor: I see that the Game and Fish (Dept.) wants to...

I earlier posted that I was going to take two lever actions on my elk hunt. One was a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 using Nosler 300 gr partitions at 2000fps and the other was a Browning reproduction 1895 in 30-06 using Speer's 180gr "HotCore" bullet. Type of terrain and cover I would be hunting dictated...

Anyone here have a .338 Scovill or .338 Hawk? I'd like to hear how it has worked for you.

I've read some Internet articles of using Accurate Arms 2015 and 350 gr. bullets in my 45-70. Some of the loads seemed rather hot but carried the expected disclamier to start 10% below listed loads and work up. Anyone out here use this powder and if so, how did it perform? Over on Marlin talk...

Took my 2 lever guns to the range to see how they were shooting since my elk area opens Nov. 1 and I plan on hunting with either one of these rifles depending on if I'm in timber or out in the open. First rifle to try out was my Marlin 1895SS in 45-70. Using a 6" black paper plate glued to a...

Yesterday I bought an "older", NIB 2" S&W 37 Airweight with a round butt. It came in the old blue cardboard box but not the one which had the metal reinforced corners. The barrel is pinned, the firing pin is in the hammer, but the chambers are not recessed. It seems to have an aluminum frame...

Found a S&W 66 (no -NN after the mod. #) 4" pinned and recessed in excellent condition for $285. How does that price sound to you?

Can a barrel from a Remington 700 be re-threaded to fit on a Sako action? I tried to screw a Remington bbl into a Sako action just to see if the threads matched and found the Remington threads were larger in diameter than what the Sako could take, which lead me to wonder, could the bbl be...

Friend of mine has a Ruger rifle with one of those skeletonized synthetic stocks. He would like to "fill in" the carved out portion of the stock. Are there any after market filler panels that fit this stock? If so, who carries them? If not, any suggestions on filling in the cut-away part of...

Several years ago I picked up a 30-06 length action in the white and a synthetic stock from Magnum Research. I had been planning to build a 30-06 on it but as luck would have it, I won a 30-06 that year at a RMEF banquet. Now I have this extra action and I want to do something with it (and no...

SSG Chris "Wild Bill" Hatcher shot a 200-7x to win and set a new Interservice 1000 yard service Rifle record. The old record was 199-7x. Since Interservice is not considered an NRA match, Hatcher's record is not an official NRA record; it is, however, to my knowledge the only 200 ever fired...

I am using 44 mag dies to load for my 44 spl and I can't seem to be able to crimp the 44 spl cases using 44 mag dies. I have the seating die screwed in until it touched the shell holder when the press is at the top of it's stroke. How or what do I adjust to put a sight crimp on the case mouth...

At my local rifle range (owned by the city I might add and it makes a profit too) Our benches for shooting off of have an attached seat which swivels and is adjustable up and down for height. I have noticed over and over that shooters will raise the seat to a comfortable sitting height (as if...

The hunting gods have smiled on me once more, drew a cow tag for Green Mountain! This will be my first time hunting elk there but have called a few song dogs in the area. :D

Just picked up a used M60-9, .357 2 1/8". Since I had about a week before it arrived I ordered a set of Ahrens boot grips from http://www.pickagrip.com/ to put onto it. Don't know yet if I like that short of a grip and it will depend on how well I can maintain control while...

Local gun shop has a used Ruger SP101 2 1/8" bbl .357 in very good condition for $295 + a holster of unknown mfg or condition (but knowning what is used around here I'll bet it isn't much). How does that price sound?
