Nothing too dramatic, but I can't find a gunsmith around here. I've got a stainless Winchester M70 w/a 24" barrel and HS Precision stock that needs to go on a diet. I'd like to get the barrel fluted and see if there's a way to lighten the stock (drilling, inletting?). Anyone know of a place...

I actually posted this on a different thread, but it seems to be a theme that's coming up more often in the General and Legal/Political areas. LEOs are the good guys...we're the good guys...we're on the same darned side. Yet LEOs also inspire a ton of mistrust and anger on this board...

Does anyone know how to improve the trigger on an Ishapore Enfield, or of a gunsmith who does it reasonably well for a reasonable price? I cobbed together an Ishapore Scout a while ago and it has the potential to be a pretty good gun. From the bench I'm shooting right around 1MOA. But the...

Up until a couple years ago my Kimber Custom Classic was my CCW weapon. Always used 230grn Hydra-Shoks. Then I switched to my Officer's Model, and kept the same ammo. I recently went to the local Wally World to buy some ammo, and all they had was the 165grn. Not what I wanted, but then I...

Tikka rifles are getting rave reviews, but people keep mentioning a lot of plastic, and I seem to remember something about the magazines being flimsy or hard to remove, or hard to top off, or something. Did a search and can't find the info again. So Tikka owners, what's the story on these...

I posted this to the Art of the Rifle and didn't get a lot of response (maybe because there isn't much to say). If one had the money and inclination, what modifications could be done to the M1A/M14, or more likely M1A Scout, to make it a lighter rifle? I've been thinking of getting one because...

I've got a Mossberg 500 Combo with three barrels: rifled slug, 28"bird, and 18.5"cylinder...pretty versatile. It spends most of its time wearing the short barrel and close to my bed, so I recently bought a sidesaddle shell holder for it. Problem is that to install it I seem to have to shorten...

If one had the money and inclination, what modifications could be done to the M1A/M14, or more likely M1A Scout, to make it a lighter rifle? I've been thinking of getting one because it's a beautiful rifle, great caliber, accurate as anything, but it's awful heavy. Even the Scout weighs over...

Spent last weekend hunting doves in Kansas. Being from Massachusetts it was my first dove hunt. OHMIGOD what a blast! They're not as hard to hit as I was afraid they'd be, but when they have a tailwind going they can really move. Didn't get any triples, but managed several doubles. My...

Hi Folks, Anyone know of a reasonably priced gunshop and/or smith in the Denver Colorado area (as far south as Castle Rock)? I'm fairly new to the area and have found the few dealers I've checked at to be awfully pricey. Admittedly, I haven't started prowling the pawn shops yet. Haven't...

Does anyone have any experience with the ClipDraw or similar products? It's a spring steel clip that installs under the grip of a semi-auto and lets you clip the gun directly inside your belt. I've seen similar things in magazines on J-Frame revolvers, but never tried one. I'm thinking of...

Hi All, Does anyone know of some on-line instructions for installing a grip safety on a 1911? I looked and can't find any. I need to install a drop in beavertail grip safety on my Officer's Model. Appreciate the help. -Jason

Looking for a bit of help here folks. I am looking for a replacement grip safety for my enhanced Officer's ACP. I really like the McCormick hi-ride safety on my Kimber (least I think it's a McCormick), but I can't find one in stainless. Two questions: 1. Any recommendations? 2. Does...
