    Improving 1911 GI

    I have an Ithaca 1911 A1 GI. It was modified by the previous owner - installed a national match rear sight and polished/blued the sides - so not much value in it. I'm wondering if it makes sense to spend some money on it to make it better. The problems I have with it: -THE worst trigger of...

    Fast Missing vs. Slower Hits

    Our Club has an annual match that uses the Garand Match format. Every year it's a bolt gun that wins and usually by a lot. It is rare that an autoloader even makes it to the podium. Two of the stages require "rapid fire" which is 10 shots in 60 seconds with a reload. Easy with an autoloader...

    Barrel cutting the Marlin 1895CB

    I have a Marlin 1895 Cowboy that I really like despite its only shortcoming. The barrel is too long to hunt with. I have an 1895GS Guide Gun too. It is a near perfect hunting rifle, easy to carry, devastating on game and accurate. However, since acquiring the 1895 CB I've found l like the...

    Trapdoor Springfield

    I'm intrigued by the Trapdoor 1873 Springfield and I'm curious to hear from those that own(ed) one. My plan is to shoot it so should I buy a replica or try to find an original? Carbine or rifle length? Anything specifically I should watch (out) for? Thanks in advance!

    Ruger Blackhawk in 41 Magnum

    There is a nice looking 41 magnum available and I am tempted to add it to my collection. I know very little about the caliber but I have Blackhawks in 357, 44 & 45 colt. The advantages I see are a 40+ caliber round that really hustles along and sounds like it would be an effective hunter and...
