    .38 special 200 grain super police load?

    I am interested in duplicating this load for curiosities sake, and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with it? I am particularly curious if anyone here knows what bullet mould Remington used for their version of this cartridge? I've read that Winchester used the Lyman #358430...

    Model 638 can not be cocked

    I was wondering if anyone here has ever had this problem with a revolver? My Smith and Wesson model 638 will cycle in double action, but something is preventing the hammer from being raised with my thumb. It will only move back perhaps a quarter of an inch. I also found that if the...

    Gas Ring Worn Out?

    Does any one here know why a revolver would have an uneven gas ring? I'm talking about the ring on the cylinder around the ejector rod. I have an old M&P from `47 that has this problem. It allows one side of the cylinder face to rub the breech when I shut it, but once its shut everything is...

    Dry Firing Before Storage ?

    I hope I'm not asking something thats been delt with recently. I have a bolt action Marlin 883 .22 wmr. I've never quite known what to do about the cocked hammer after I'm done shooting. Should you dry fire it? What about closing the bolt while squeezing the hammer? Any suggestions...

    Revolver Trigger Sticking ?

    I have been reading the Firing Line Forums for some time and have been really impressed, it seems like somebody has an answer for every question. Recently searching the net I saw it recommended that when your checking a revolver out before purchase you cycle the action upside down. So I...
