Remington 700 SPS 243 I bought this rifle in an online auction back in August. I’ve only had time to pick it up and drive it home. It is a Buckmasters edition with a green camo stock (Realtree) and has a 3x9 Bushnell scope on it. Paid $400 for it. Finally got it to the range today. The...

I want to put a taller front sight blade on a 1911 clone with a Novak cut slide. A lot of common height dimensions I see are .180 or .190. Is this the height of the entire blade, from the top to the bottom of the dovetail, or just the height of the blade, excluding the dovetail?

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1013946858 Saw this on GB. I’m a 38 Super fan and didn’t know Taurus ever made these. I had a PT in 45 ACP, it worked fine but I eventually traded it. I think these were $300 guns when new, I’m curious to see how this one tops out. The 9’s and 45’s still go for...

I was wondering what the current climate was like, before the latest massacre. In the 70’s and 80’s it seemed like carry was common and widespread there. Did liberalism in the 21st century lull people into complacency, make it socially unacceptable? I recall a poster at a range or gun shop...

My wife found this “in the white” 1858 Remington New Model Army in our attic. Probably something that came home with me from an auction years ago. I recall these were sold as you finish it kits back in the day. There is the usual “Black Powder Only Made In Italy” on the right side of the...

I have a T-C Renegade 54 caliber, that shoots great with Maxi-balls or Prairie bullets. I was wanting to try round balls but was wondering if the rifling twist might be optimized for long, conical bullets. How is your experience shooting round balls, before I buy any.

I have a Merwin-Hulbert 44 Army, 44WCF, 4 inch barrel. There is a metal rectangle with a retaining screw near the muzzel, through the underlug of the barrel. I was wondering what the purpose of this was. After thinking about it for awhile, my guess is that it serves a similar purpose to the...

I was wondering how companies like Rock River and Springfield Armory can produce products that are banned in Illinois. And the email ads I get from Rainier in Washington are saying, buy your weapons and parts now before the Washington state ban goes into effect. They can’t even sell a BCG...

I usually go to the outdoor range on week day mornings because I’m the only one there. There are a few other older guys I’m acquainted with and will still shoot with them, but when someone I’ve never seen before shows up I pack up and go home. I never go on a Saturday or Sunday. We had a...

While snobirding in Arizona I found this Savage 99 in 300 Savage, made in 1953. Included nice leather sling and case. Very good condition, no extra holes drilled in the receiver. I was very happy at $600 out the door. Also very happy that Arizona just passed no sales tax on firearms this year.

I have a Winchester Model 94 Trails End in 38-55, one of the last produced at New Haven, CT. The rear sight dovetail was machined crooked, so to center the rear notch, the point at the front of the sight needs to be almost to the left edge of the barrel flat. It also has to be at the top notch...

Checked off a bucket list item last weekend and attended the Big Reno gun show. Like most things it’s probably not what it used to be, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Didn’t buy any guns, came close a few times, mainly bought vintage ammo. One of the more interesting was a 50 round box of...

Decided to put a big dent in my 7.62x39 ammo stash. From left, Russian Tula SKS, homemade 7.62x39 AR (KAK barrel and bolt) and a Serbian N-PAP AK. I used a variety of ammo, from Wolf, PPU, PMC, and some generic Bulgarian production. PMC and Wolf were the best performers. The AR is the best...

Just got this 3 screw Ruger flat top, 44 Magnum, made in 1957, the year I was born. It’s in great condition, no turn line. The loading gate has turned a lovely dark plum color and the grips have faded a little and warped, so I ordered a set of reproduction stocks to use while shooting. I’ve...

When I was 12 or 13 years old, I had a magazine (might have been Shooters Bible) that had a picture of the Colt Detective Special on the cover. I stared wantonly at that picture, hoping someday to have one. That day is today. Looks like new, unfired. Does anyone know if the white inlay on the...

So is Russian (Wolf and Tula) and ammo from other eastern block sources going to dry up during the current hostilities?

Did Winchester make 44 Magnum Model 94’s before the awful push button safety in the side of the receiver?

Can anyone identify what kind of shoulder rig Det. Jerry Edgar carries in the TV show Bosch. He uses a standard LAPD Glock 17. The rig is black leather, so might be one common to the department. It looks like it could be a Galco Miami Classic. It is a horizontal with a strap down to the belt...

Ordered one of these last summer. http://www.ligameccorp.com/RAPTOR_50_29_BARREL_p/upr-50-29.htm Always wanted a 50 BMG since the first Barrett’s came out. No way I could afford the semi auto and the latest iterations in bolt actions are still $4K and up. While searching online I found this...

I found these red dot mounts by EGW for Desert Eagles. They differentiate between pre 2017 and post 2017, the differ each being the distance from the rear of the dove tail the the rear of the slide. Are all Desert Eagle rear sight dovetails the same dimensions? Will the pre 2017 fit my...
