So, a good friend has a nice little Rossi pump action 62 that cycles 22 shorts, longs and long rifles. Here's the problem. He needs to replace the firing pin and Taurus bought Rossi whoever knows how long ago. They are making thier own version of the model 62 and he's not sure if the firing...

So, I figure I'm gonna spend a little more money this year for the ammo on my Elk hunt (2 Weeks, man I'm itchy). Wanted a boat-tailed round for some better aerodynamics. Anyway, found these Winchester Accubond CT (CXP2) rounds in the 140 gr variety for my .270 WIN...

I have a Savage 110 FP chambered in .270 Win. It was given to me by a friend who inherited it from his grandather. I am guessing it is probably late 60s early 70s vintage. Serial number is 58XXX. I was in the process of sighting it in when a fired round lodged in the chamber and now the bolt...

So, the family and I decided to take a drive this morning to Red Lodge, Montana. Cool little town for those of you who haven't been. Anyway, we're walking around and I notice a gun shop, so I stop in. Now, bear in mind that I own a 4" Royal Blued 78 Colt Python. Well, on display, underneath...

Hey guys, after much begging and pleading with my mom, I got my Grandfathers Winchester 1894 30-30. The serial number is 650XXX indicating a manufacture date of 1913. It has a 20" barrel with a full length magazine. I'm pretty sure the stock has been changed as it has a wierd bulge on the...

Hopefully this is posted in the right spot. I just got off the phone with one of my best friends. He lives in Marysville, California (City about 70 miles north of Sacramento). Unfortunately, things have been a little rough for him lately. He just lost his grandfather, and his wife sprung a...

What do you do if you're packing in this case. http://www.codyenterprise.com/articles/2007/07/12/news/news3.txt Just happened Monday, about 30 miles from where I live. I don't think I would take any action other than call the police here unless my life or family's was in danger, how about...

Just curious if anyone here has visited the Buffalo Bill Historical Center? The firearms part of the museum is truly incredible and I believe is the biggest collection of American firearms in the world. I would highly recommend a visit if you haven't seen it yet. It's in Cody, Wyoming, about...

Anyone ever used any of the Bullet 50 pants for CCW? They look well made, I just wanted to see if amyone here has had any real world experience. http://www.bullet50.com/

I know the whole "which holster is better" debate has been beat to death here. I'm not trying to re-travel this road. I am looking for something very specific on the other hand. I am looking for a well made IWB tuckable holster for my USP 40c. Looking for something with a butt-forward cant...

Can any of you recommend any books that would be informative on getting started in reloading your own ammunition? I know nothing about it but it is sounding more and more appealing everyday. Thanks

This will be my primary CCW. Always wanted one, they were just so expensive. Well, I horse traded with a guy in Cody, and walked out with this today without it costing me a red cent. Both guns I traded to him were inherited or gifts and didn't mean much to me. Came with 2 12 rd mags and the...

Was in one of my favorite gunshops here locally, and saw that they are selling the Marlin 1895G (Guide Gun) 45-70 for 499.00. Is this a good price?

hey all, looking for some grips for my security six, any of you have any pics of what may be out there as far as wood and/or rubber? Thanks e1

Ok guys, after talking with BillCA, and doing some searching on the boards here, I am completely stumped. My firearms catalog calls this a ".38 Hand Ejector Model of 1905, 4th Change". Yet a picture I saw posted by Hammer It showed his K22 sportsman or hunter (can't remember) and it looks...

Hey all, just got a 2 3/4" Ruger Security Six from a relative. Gun is in great shape with a little line around the cyliner and a little holster wear on the barrel. Don't really think it's an issue though because I doubt these were ever high dollar guns to begin with. The serial number shows a...

Ladies and Gentlemen, today we celebrate John Wayne's 100 birthday. The man is an American Legend and an American hero. He showed us what honor was. Sit tall in the saddle, and never shoot anyone in the back. 100 years of the Duke. Happy Birthday

Ok guys. For about the last 3 months, I have been doing lottsa research on 45 caliber pistols for both HD & CCW. I'm pretty sure I have it narrowed down to 2 guns. The M&P .45 and the XD 45 (4"). They both look like extraordinary weapons, and the reviews I have read about both are very...

I have a 30-30 that is labeled New Haven by Mossberg. Was this common back in the 80's or whenever? Do any of you have any experience with New Haven? It seems like a well built gun, and fires nicely with a smooth action. Anything I should be looking for?

OK, so we've all been reading about people who want to switch barrels or have already switched barrels from .40 S&W to .357 Sig. What would be the benefit of doing this? Besides the whole "Two calibers for the price of one" thing, are there any ballistic benefits of the .357 Sig over the .40...
