    Bolt action hand guns. WHY?

    What am I missing. What is their purpose, seems like the answer to a never asked question. A problem that never needed solving.

    Gun insurance question

    Went over my home owners policy with my agent today. My policy will insure basically two guns monetarily. I have significantly more. A policy to insure all of my firearms would run roughly $330/year. Has to be a separate, special policy. But very affordable. From me they would need...

    Delta Elite vs HBAR

    This question has nagged me for many years. I bought an HBAR right before the assault weapons ban. Dealer had a Delta Elite right next to it on the shelf. I didn't want to spend the extra coin. Now, I kick myself for not buying that gun. But the question remains, did the Delta Elite have...

    Just got a Wolfman out of jail. My first can. I want a QD mount on my Scorpion micro. Called Dead Air, they make nothing for me. 1/2x28 threads on the barrel. 1/2x28 in the Wolfman with unknown size with the end cap removed. Any help appreciated.

    S&W 629-1 Variant 103615 Millet rings

    I recently purchased this fine revolver. NIB, unfired. However there are no rings in the box, some, but slim chance they will be found. Cursory search of the 'net isn't heart warming. Made one year only, these rings apparently were JUST for this revolver. Found a set that was just...

    Nickel Model 629 and 657 NIB 8 3/8"

    Looking for some input. I know the quick answer, but looking for the long one. Good friend recently passed. His wife gave me first dibs on the guns the family did not want (which included and very old, very original, very nice Henry Golden boy). Two of the ones she is holding for me are a...

    Help with finding a Sharps

    I'm in the market for a .50 Sharps. I know they don't reproduce them anymore, but that's what I think would fit the bill. More interested in one that looks new than one with patina. Gunbroker hasn't been much help and I've been watching that for a month or two. Any help appreciated. TIA

    LGS and range rental today

    Stopped into the new big box LGS today for the first time. Nice selection, prices were a bit high, but not obscene. Had a Czeckmate, TSO and P10 Competition on the shelf. I wouldn't call their prices competitive, but they had a great selection, which brings overhead. Made my way to the range...

    Current gun store owners - advice please

    Current or recent store owners, looking for some feedback. Pursuing possible purchase of a LGS. Turn key. Not yet at the stage of hiring my own accountant to go over their books and numbers, so right now just going by what they've shared, it sounds good. They have good people working for...

    Ivory question

    I am beneficiary to my grandfathers estate, which is being sold. Part of the contents is a very old player piano - with ivory keys. The piano is trash. Rodents had taken up residence long ago. Wood is toast. It has sat dormant for the better part of 60/70 years. I remember hearing it play...

    Winchester 9410 owners?

    Picked up a 9410 off consignment today. Got it home to run a few shells through it. Looked like it had never been fired. the only thing missing was the box. Shells were a bit stiff into the loading gate, but manageable. The gun would NOT feed a shell into battery (2 1/2" shell). Lever...

    Bren Ten - start praying for resurrection

    Besides arguably being the best cop show of all time, its things like this that have made a difference. Besides Testa Rossa's predictably appreciating 200%, maybe young kids will want to learn how to drive stick again. And MAYBE, just MAYBE if we're lucky there will be honest renewed interest...

    Pneumatically reclaimed primers

    At the LGS and a vendor had pneumatically reclaimed small rifle primers he claimed came from reclaimed military ammo. $130/1000, which was the same price for new primers all around the show. I have zero experience with these and was wary, not to mention his insanity of wanting the same money...

    .223 help

    This is my first go around with .223 (or any necked ammo for that matter). I'd decapped, and sized everyting. I loaded about 6 rounds no issues, then thought I'd better check case length. Went through my brass (~500 pieces) with calipers as a go/no go gauge and found about 75 pieces that were...

    Why you don't start anyone on large calibers

    Good friend of mine has been bitten by the gun bug. Specifically bolt actions. He knows nearly nothing about guns but thought he knew what he wanted. He wanted a rifle he could shoot groundhogs, deer hunt and target shoot with. He's a big guy at 6'4" and 320. After mounting his new scope on...

    Slomo vid of .50 being lit off loose

    Super slo video of .50 being lit off by firing what looks like a ?.22? at its primer on a log. Fascinating how much powder went unignited, the brass blew apart back to the hose clamp, and the projectile travels just a few inches. All while the brass stayed on the log...

    Proud day for this Papa!

    My 18 year old daughter will graduate high school this year and is only a few weeks short of being a CNA. She'd have had it by now if classes had not been cancelled. Wants to move out and be independent. She has an outstanding head on her shoulders and I don't have to worry about her. A few...
