I picked up a very clean 1987-ish S&W 63 at an auction. The seller claims he bought it new, shot a box through it, and it sat in his safe until I purchased it. After its first trip to the range, I found out why he never shot it again. One of the cylinders has a small void in the cylinder wall...

A local shop had both the PS90 and FS2000 on the rack. I have no interest in the PS90 at all so I didn't bother playing with it. The FS2000 is very impressive! The ergos are great for me. What a lot of firepower in a small package. It was also impressively cheap feeling. The plastic cover that...

I have owned a Ruger Bearcat for a while, and recently picked up a new Ruger Bisley .22lr. I usually put about 300 rounds through one or the other per range trip. It took me a couple of trips with the Bearcat to realize that it was leading badly right past the forcing cone (I just thought I was...

Thanks to Rich and who ever else spent their day fixing the forums. It's easy to take the forum for granted (until it's gone that is). Thank you.

I was given this press by a family member. I also got the manual and the primer feed system. It weighs about 30 pounds! It is apparently manufactured by Ponsness/Warren. I've never heard of the brand before. Anyone here famillar with this brand/model?

I've been tossing around the question of which optic to buy for my AR for over a year now. I'd love nothing more than to throw $1K at an ACOG, but I just can't justify spending that much for something that will be mainly for daytime recreational use. The dot and holo-type sights don't do...

I picked up this preowned but unfired M66 yesterday. It's unlike any other I've ever seen before. I know there was a special run of 3" 66's with Hiviz sights, but this one is 4" and has the Milucek grips. Anyone know if it was a "Stocking Dealer Special", or maybe a special run for a...

Can anyone with a real good memory or older Ruger catalog tell me the exact model number for the Ruger GP-100 in stainless with the 6" half lug barrel? I had one of these things in my hand about two years ago, and I'm still kicking myself for not buying it. It's a KGP-1?? Thanks for your help!

I want to mount this scope... http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/cgi-bin/kowstore.cgi?user_action=detail&catalogno=GSPO3520 ...on this rifle. Is there a mount out there that could handle it? I haven't been able to find any mount that puts the scope above the front sight tower and has a single...

I am an informal target shooter and small game hunter, and I'm considering the purchase of a quality air pistol for basement/backyard practice. My hope is that it will allow me to advance my skills in trigger control, breathing, stance, and follow through. Logic tells me that if I develop these...

http://www.americangunfilm.com "Using the serial number of the .357 Magnum that killed his daughter, Martin traces his grief to its point of origin. Starting with the factory where the gun was made, he begins the arduous process of tracking the gun's progress from owner to owner, a journey that...

Anyone have experience with these things? Reliability? Longevity? American Rifleman did a review of the DPMS Lo-Pro recently, and used these mags. They said that they performed flawlessly. I think that they would make good range mags, and I've got the chance to buy some for $12 each plus...

I called a local smithy today to inquire about a trigger job for my Marlin 882SS rifle. They said that they just got a catalog in that advertised a replacement trigger for Marlin bolt action rimfire rifles. Has anyone seen such an item? Thanks

As far as I can tell, the current PDF catalog of Anschutz sporters from Champion Shooters lists three different basic actions on their rifles. They list a 1451, a "Match 64", and a "Match 54". What is the difference between them besides cost? Any comments from owners of these models would be...

My aging eyes are prompting me to scope out my favorite rifles. I'm considering a Weaver 2.5-7x28mm rimfire scope for my Marlin 39AS and have some questions. - Are the factory bases made of Aluminium or steel? If they're aluminium, I may try a Weaver base instead. - I have two small screw holes...

I've been eyeing these lately as a nice companion for day hikes and squirrel hunting. I already have a stainless Ruger MkII bull barrel and it's really too heavy to carry comfortably for long. My main concern is that the shorter sight radius might make for loose groups. Is it just a cute...

My local (UT) Big 5 sporting goods is advertising Turkish Mausers for $40+tax for their after Thanksgiving sale. How can you NOT have one at that price? Too bad they don't carry surplus ammo for them too.

I stopped in by the local shop today on the way to pick up dinner. This is a shop that carries new guns only. The second I saw the racks, it stood out like a sore thumb. 'Twas a brand spankin new M1 Garand. I initially thought it was one of the IAI models, but when I saw the "Made in Italy"...

If this is one of those don't ask/don't tell issues, let me know and I'll shut the hell up, but here goes.... I was reading a well known gunsmithing catalog the other day and ran across "replacement hi-capacity magazine tubes". They were not particularly cheap, but still less than new pre-bans...

I, like many have been intrigued by the new 180B and angered by the magical moving delivery date. I knew that if I called Armalite as individual I would probably get the old runaround, so I stopped in to my dealer and asked them to call and see what the scoop is. While they're on the phone, I...
