Pretty much decided to pick up a SA M1A and looking hard at the Loaded Model. Looking on the Springfield website I'm wondering if the differences - trigger, barrel, sights - between the Standard and Loaded are worth the increased cost. Looking at Bud's (no Loaded in stock!), it seems like a...

Greetings, Looking at a '92 vintage LNIB Colt Special Combat Gov't Carry model in .45 ACP. Anybody have experience with this pistol? From what I've been able to research so far the current production models are the top of the Colt 1911 line and some come from the custom shop. I have several...

SWAT - where have you been all of my life?? I picked up the April edition yesterday. The article on the Noveske VTAC was recommended on another forum and I wanted to give it a look. I was blown away by the magazine - from the letters to the editor, to the columns, articles and equipment...

Anyone collect Super Vel ammo memorabilia? I’ve seen some boxes and brass sell on the gun boards and auctions. I recently came across a SV ashtray and brass belt buckle and think the ashtray will look nice on one of my reloading benches (no, I down smoke down there – just for decorative...

Howdy, Yesterday a acquired a RCBS Ammomaster press, Uniflow Powder Measure, Die Sets (.38, .40, .45, .44), several Die plates and the appropriate Shell Plates - all NIB. Purchased years ago and never unpacked, let alone used. From what little I've found searching the web, it looks like this...

Just picked up my first lever gun last night - Rossi in .45LC. I plan to get out to the range this weekend to give it a try. Here's my question - Should I be concerned about the saddle ring wearing the blue on the receiver? (from 'jingling' around) Can you wrap it to prevent the wear? Or am i...

I'll post this in the Handgun Forum, since that is what these are sold as -- handguns. The mods can move if you think necessary. Let me start off by saying that I've been looking at these for some time. They are made by JB Custom in IN and are built on a cut down Puma frame/action. I know...

Howdy, Thought I would share pics of my newest addition. 1974'ish vintage Model 52-2 .38 mid-range wadcutter gun. Hopefully we'll make it to the range this weekend for a shake out................... Regards,

I've never owned one, but I'm really feeling the desire to pick up a level action and looking for your input. I'm thinking of the Puma in .357 which has received good reviews on this forum and over at the leverguns site. I'll use it on the range primarily and maybe for field carry. I'm drawn...

OK folks heres a newbie question. I 've been reloading for about a year now. .38 spec only and getting ready to switch to .45 ACP. What is the best/safest/'school solution' to storing the loose small pistol primers that remain in the tube. Obviously (I think) the best would be to replace...

OK folks, I need a little help. I inadvertly thew the lastest (July) copy of AR in the trash. :mad: There is an article on a loop lever action carbine in the Dope Bag section. Will some kind soul tell me the manufacturer and the website? It caught my eye and I'd like to do some research...

Are there any TFL members in this neck of woods who go to the Maumee Valley Gun Collectors Assn show? It is this weekend at the Lucas Co Rec Center. Regards,

Greetings all, I recently picked up a Dillon Square Deal and converted it from 10mm to .38/.327 -- large primer to small. After tinkering all weekend, I still can't get it to pick up a primer at station 2. It has the small primer magazine, primer cup and had no problem with the lager size for...

OK folks, we just went through a discussion regarding the classic M17 K22. I understand a local gunshop has a Model 18 and I'm going to stop and take a look on the way home from work. Any thoughts out there about the M18? Anyone have one? Pics? This one is an 18-4. I don't have a 4" .22 and...

I fell into a deal that will greatly accelerate my entry into reloading and would like your input. My brother is giving me a Dillon Square Deal B press, scale, primers, powder and some misc accessories – great price huh? I conducted a search and have read previous posts on the topic. I...

I bought some new 'no-name' 10 rnd BHP mags at a gun show this weekend. (cheap....I mean inexpensive! :rolleyes: ) After loading 6-7 rnds in each they 'rattle' a bit -- but the rnds are not loose. They fit and lock into the pistol fine. I've not fired with them yet -- tomorrow is range day...

Good evening to all. After reading the discussions for a few weeks I decided to join in. Looks like a great place. No burning issues tonight, just wanted to say hi and look around around a bit. CD High Power S&W Model 17 Springfield M1 (CMP) Bushmaster XM15
