    Used Sig P365, What Parts To Replace?

    I just bought a used P365 from the original owner, who reports no problems in the 300 rounds he put through it. It has a May 10, 2018 born on date, a transition period from what I can tell. I know some of the major issues from the early runs, so today I took it apart to see what style striker I...

    Old Hoppes No. 9 Good For Corrosive Primers?

    I was going through some old stuff today and found a nearly full glass bottle of Hoppes 9 that probably dates to the 1980s. The label says it's good for cleaning bores after using corrosive primers, new bottles don't say this. Will this be OK to use by itself for cleaning bores after shooting...

    M48 Mauser Loose Front Sight

    I just bought this a few weeks ago, shot it for the first time Friday. It was shooting about 6 inches to the right at 50 yards, upon inspection I found that the front sight (not the dovetail) was loose and had rotated to the left, thus point of aim was too far right. I assume this is soldered...

    VihtaVuori 3N38 And .40S&W, Load Data Suggestions Needed!

    So as most of you are probably painfully aware pistol powders are nearly impossible to find now. Unable to find my tried and true such as Unique, Power Pistol, HS-6 and WSF I bought the first pistol powder I've found in months - a 4lb jug of VV 3N38. Unfortunately load data for this powder is...

    Mosin-Nagant 91/30, TTC Tokarev

    First purchases with my new 03 FFL I received last Monday, delivered by UPS yesterday. Been wanting a M91/30 hex receiver, so I ordered one advertised as "Very good to excellent". Cost $150 including the $10 hand select charge, haven't cleaned it up yet but I'm pretty pleased so far. Looks like...

    ATF At It Again

    Earlier this year the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel ran a story about an ATF sting in Milwaukee, in which they set up a fake storefront and encouraged low-level criminals to sell them guns and other stolen merchandise for extremely high prices (so high, in fact, that several were purchased from...

    Reloads For Ruger .44 Carbine

    I'm having a problem that's driving me nuts. I made a batch of reloads for my Ruger .44 carbine, the old semi-auto tube magazine type. Winchester 240 gr semi-jacketed hollow point with 24 gr of H110, pretty standard recipe. Winchester doesn't list the COL for this load, so I made one batch at...

    Quick Question About Berry's Plated Bullets .40 Cal

    I bought some Berry's plated bullets this morning, .40 cal 165gr flat point. Product # is 54174. The Hodgdon site has load data for this bullet I *think* under "165 GR. BERB FP"? I'm questioning whether this is the same bullet because Hodgdon lists the bullet diameter as .400", while the box I...

    New Gun Safe Comes With Unexpected Accessory

    From the Chicago Tribune: So he orders a new safe from Champion Safe Co. in Utah, and the safe is shipped from the manufacturing plant in Mexico, then to a warehouse in Ohio, then to the guy who ordered it. The driver who transported it from Mexico to Ohio is missing, I suppose he's more afraid...

    Does Anyone Know How To Remove The Bolt On An Ithaca/SKB XL900?

    Thread title says it all. I've had this 12ga for nearly 30 years, bought it used for $100. It's still in fantastic shape, wood is nearly flawless, one very light scratch on the receiver game bird etchings, no rust whatsoever. I use it to shoot clays, after 200 rounds or so it starts to get dirty...

    Way Too Much Gun!

    .950 JDJ by SSK Industries Uses 240 grains of powder to push a 2,400 gr bullet at 2,100 fps. :eek: While lacking the stopping power of the .45 auto it makes up for it with longer range. ;) Be sure to use a scope with enough eye relief! YouTube video of it in action...
