Good day all - I've got an old range bag that I crafted years ago by combining an even older range bag and a tool bag. It does what I need it to do - so I'd like to stick with it. But the handgun pouches/sleeves/inserts (those things you slide your handgun into so it doesn't flop around and...

My old Buck Mark Bullseye (circa 1996) has got ... I don't know ... 20K through it, maybe? It's been very reliable to this point, but now I'm running into one or two FTEs per box. I've got it apart and the tension on the extractor is good. But the ejector is rather wobbly. It moves enough that...

I usually just pick up 9mm range brass and clean it up myself, but I'm jammed up on both time and space over the next 6 months or so - so I'm looking for a source for once-fired brass to carry me over. Many, many options on the Net ... but I'm not finding exactly what I want, which is: 9mm...

As we all know, quite some time ago Hodgdon announced this discontinuation of SR7625 (and I believe the rest of the IMR SR line as well). Why? Undoubtedly a cost/benefit problem ... as in not enough people buying it to justify the cost of production. Perhaps I was the only one using it. As...

Hello - I've been shooting a cast 200 gr. .38 Special load in bowling pin matches for several years, but now the company that produced the bullets is no longer in business. Anyone know of a source for heavy cast .38 bullets (plain base, sized .358)? I would like at least 200 gr. - and 210 or...

Good Day - My aged (20 years?) Peltor Bullseye 9 muffs are still the most comfortable muffs I've ever worn ... especially with glasses. However, the NRR is only 22. Since I'm now shooting more rifle, I need to upgrade to a higher NRR. I'll probably stick with a non-electronic version...

I have a Winchester 1200 (actually a Ranger 120, but the same animal for this discussion) with a broken firing pin. It's what I've learned is the "new style" for shotguns made after s/n 400,00 or so - and mine is in the 3,000,000 range. As opposed to the old style, this firing pin has a series...

Let me say this upfront: I'm not going to use this powder. It becomes fertilizer in the spring. This question is asked out of technical curiosity only. A friend recently gave me a half full container of Hercules Green Dot. This is one of the old 15 pound cardboard cartons with the lid that...

I've owned a few CZ 75s for several years, and from time to time I've kicked around the idea of buying an EAA Witness in one of its many forms. So the Dope Bag article in the latest American Rifleman (2011 Sep) caught my eye. Here's what has me confused: The article is titled "EAA Witness 9mm...

Hey Folks: I'm looking to add one of those receiver-mounted shell holders ... or shell carriers ... or shell loaders ... or side-saddle ... to a Mossberg 590 (they seem to have different names, depending on the manufacturer). Just wanted to know if anyone had any experiences, good or bad...

I'm looking for an online source for handgun caliber frangible bullets. So far, I've only been able to locate one: http://www.gunaccessories.com/Sinterfire/default.asp Just wondering if there are any others out there ... and whether anybody has had any experience with any of them. Thanks...

I've got a Winchester Defender 1300 with a cylinder bore barrel. It throws huge patterns, even for a cylinder bore (not sure I can even call them "patterns"). For the action games I shoot ... particularly bowling pin ... I need some choke. Now the barrel will need to be shortened to remove...

My M2 bullet supply is dwindling ... and it appears they are no longer to be had, so I'm looking for an inexpensive FMJ bullet for the M1 Garand. Two options I found: Widener's 145 gr. FMJ BT - I'm guessing this is really designed for the 7.62 NATO round, so I don't know how well it will work...

OK, I needed another revolver like I needed another hole in the head, but I put an S&W 610 on order this morning. This is my first venture into wheelguns chambered for rimless cartridges, so ... (1) Anyone have a moon clip preference? I've found both plastic and steel - from several...

OK, there's been several threads on the 930 SPX ... i.e. who has one, where to get one, etc. Seems to have a following. But there is nothing on the Mossberg website showing an SPX anything. I assume it's a standard 930 action - in what appears to be a "tactical" (whatever that means)...

Outside of unscrewing the tube from the receiver, is there a convenient way to remove the follower and spring from the magazine? I suspect not, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. dogfood

I ran across Trausch grips (www.trausch.com), and they claim to have the thinnest grip panels available. I am looking for such, as my small hands and the larger Beretta frame don't get along with factory panels. Any experiences? Thanks, dogfood

Given the propensity of firearm manufacturers to announce products well ahead of their manufacture dates, which of the following .45's do you think we'll see first: H&K 45 S&W M&P Taurus 24/7 OSS And by "see first", I mean when the average Joe - or average Jane - can actually buy one off the...

I am looking for a good assembly/disassembly/general gunsmithing book that covers the Ruger Super Redhawk. I really like Jerry Kuhnhausen's series, but he has not issued a book covering these revolvers, and the standard Redhawk is different enough that only some of the info from that book...

I've been reloading for many years, but this is my first venture into reloading for an auto rifle. I have never crimped my .30-06 loads for the 03A3 Springfield, and never had any problems. But given the additional cycling abuse the round will take in the Garand, I am concerned over bullet...
