I came across a receiver for a Savage 944 shotgun for the right price, free. So I ordered a barrel from Numrich. How do I go about fitting it to the action? Lock up is extremely tight

Being a sucker for old .22 single shots, I picked up a Marlin 100G over the weekend. Pleased with my purchase, I went home and set up some empty soda cans. Unsurprisingly, the rifle was dead on. Surprisingly, I had to shake the spent case out. Apparently I overlooked the fact that the...

I started having a hankering for a small, table top lathe to modify cartridges to reload other calibers. I figured this would be the easiest way to modify rims, extractor grooves, turn necks, etc. Has anybody heard anything about this little gizmo...

I'm getting ready to move in a month and a half and have the following question: On my FFL where it says Premises Address, is that my home address or where I maintain my collection and associated paperwork? When I move, I will be maintaining a gun room with secure storage at my parent's house...

I had an old S&W Victory Revolver fall in to my lap the other day, hooray! Not so hot was the fact that it was an old lend lease gun that was converted. It's a Cogswell & Harrison deal where they just punched out the cylinder for .38 Special with a blatant disregard for the chamber size of the...

Father forgive me, for I have given in to my nature and not resisted temptation. This weekend was just going to be go down to meet the minister who will be officiating the marriage of myself and Sweet Thing. However, the gun shop down there has a bargain barrel of used holsters. Earlier in the...

I've bee playing with my M44 and have been having trouble getting the windage nailed down. After inspecting the counter bore on the rifle, things look a little a little rough. Where the counterbore ends, it's not nice and crisp. The bore looks a little too worn on the bottom and left Is there...

I was checking the used pistol selection at the shop next to work. They have a used S&W 5906 in stock with 1 15 round mag for $350.00 I'm assuming that's about a fair price, correct me if I'm wrong. Second, I'm looking at trying to do a trade for it with my Kel Tec PF9. I'd say a fair...

I've been looking at adding something in .40 S&W to the collection with the intention of it being my concealed carry pistol. Based on past experience, I have been nothing short of impressed with FN's new line of pistols. I love my FNP 45, it shoots straighter than I can and it's flat out...

Just to make sure I understand this correctly, double action Kellerman has two trigger reset points. The intermediate reset point has a heavier pull than the initial reset point. So, can I get a trigger kit to make it just plain old DA/SA if I don't like the DAK setup? My main reason for...

I've grown tired of losing brass in my back yard! I have a nice little range set up (one of the perks of living in a very rural area) and try to keep the grass cut extra short. It seems to be a losing battle trying to find all the brass. It doesn't help that my AK keeps trying to fling brass...

I've been trying to clean up some really nasty, dirty brass and need help. My buddy left it outside for the past 3 or so years in an old tin pail. Not wanting to see brass go to waste, I offered to clean it, tag it, and bag it for when he gets his reloading gear. After sorting all the leaves...

Right now, I have no income so my reloading hobby is limited to supplies on hand. I've got CCI 550 primers and that's it. I started out doing loads for my .357 and picked up some 9mm dies shortly before my job went poof. I've been itching to to some 9mm since I have nothing but free time. How...

Disclaimer: Yes, I do realize and understand that the following question pertains to loads outside of current SAAMI specifications. The following supplied data, if any, will be for historical and educational purposes only. I like having all of my fingers and both eyes. Does anybody have any...

So far I've got the latest Lyman's and Speer books in my library along with various hand outs from powder manufacturers. I'm planning on adding Ken Waters' Pet Loads to the book case when funds permit. What other books would be considered must haves? I would like a copy of Sharpe's Complete...

Does anybody know who has any 15 round magazines in stock for an FNP 45? I've been looking and so far have come up empty.

I finally got the reloading bug. While cleaning the garage, I found a bunch of RCBS gear Dad bought back in '77 and never used. I'm reloading for my GP100 in .357 magnum right now since all I have is that set of dies which came with the press. So far things have been going well. I only have a...

I'm working on building a Galil clone one of these days. What are the major differences between it and the AK-74? Can I build one out of AK-74 parts using a 5.56 bolt and barrel? The stuff like the folding stock, bipod, and sights aren't an issue, I can fabricate them. Thanks, Kilroy

:mad: Ok, I went to a local store to see if they still had an SKS I was planning on buying. The clerk picks it up and in the process of handing it to me, POINTS IT RIGHT SQUARE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CHEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I kindly asked him not to do that and to be more careful in the future. His...

A couple years back, Guns and Ammo had an article in a new semi auto revolver being made by some Italian company. The main thing I remember was that it fired from the bottom of the cylinder. Does anybody know who this company is and if they still make it? It'd be something neat for the collection.
