Here's the latest update: https://www.tillamookheadlightherald.com/news/measure-114-ruling-state-supreme-court-issues-decision/article_cdda59fa-a8ca-11ed-ade0-0b6fa76e9740.html I thought it would be better to start a new posting to get back on topic.

Here's a link: https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/elections/oregon-measure-114-passes-gun-control/283-cf1a7067-30de-43b1-b7ab-eecf4bc200f1 I get it that the candidate with the most votes wins the office, but this is different. How can a Constitutionally guaranteed and spelled-out right...

So, who among us are rebuilding their spent primers now? My younger brother did it successfully nearly 50 years ago as an experiment using strike-anywhere-match tips for his 6.5 Remington Magnum..... Maybe your spent primers have more value than you thought? Right now, I'm not certain I could...

If there is any merit to being able to laugh at ourselves, which guns or related items do you find most ridiculous? :D i'll start with a few that I perceive as utterly meritless: Ruger Charger Mossberg Shockwave Mare's Laig Revolvers without barrels Bumpstocks, anyone? This is just for fun...

Does anyone recommend magnum primers for use with LEVEREVOLUTION powder in a 30-30? I know that Speer has recommended magnum primers for most ball/spherical propellants in the past, including BL-C(2), which seems to be almost a twin powder. In Propellant Profiles, R.H. VanDenburg tested BL-C(2)...

Can anyone recommend any particular shoulder-holster arrangement that works well for them? Right-handed, so under the left arm, cross-draw, CZ-75 Compact and/or Ruger Vaquero 4-5/8".

So, I was wondering if it is safe to carry a Cz 75 with a chambered round and the hammer down if it were accidentally dropped, etc. I'm used to single action revolvers, so this is new stuff for me. The Cz in question is the compact model with safety, not the decocker and it was made in 2016...

With so many 1911 type pistol variants out there, clearly it's a popular gun. From made in USA to various imports; and expensive to not-so-much, it seems that there's at least one for just about everybody. Let's consider a simple poll and you can be anonymous if you want:

I seems that most 30-30 lever-guns have 20" or 24" barrels, but then there are the, "Trapper", versions with shorter barrels, usually around 16". Which do y'all prefer, and why? Lever-guns only, please...

I am having trouble finding older data for 780BR for 270 Winchester. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Who makes good earplugs that let you hear normally but block gunfire from damaging your hearing? I always wear earplugs when shooting except when hunting. But the plugs I use are the disposable foam type that are very effective at blocking all sound, all the time. As I run a chainsaw and...

More than a decade ago, someone gifted me a partial bottle of Blue Dot, so I experimented a little with it in 45 Colt. My impressions were that it was one of the dirtiest powders I have ever run through my Vaquero, and that I would never buy more. Fast forward to the present time; I have just...

I keep hearing in thread after thread about fellas that say they reluctantly have to go with a scope on their rifles that were primarily intended for iron sights because their aging vision has deteriorated to where they can't effectively make out the sights that worked so well when they were...

I just was given a canister of powder labeled, " Thunderbird Cartridge Co., Inc.", with 4350 printed on it in two places. It must have 8 to 10 lbs of powder in it. It's extruded, smells right and looks like it could be, well, 4350, in visually excellent condition. It's a cylindrical, shiny...

I was out shooting with my friend recently and he brought a round steel gong made of bullet resistant alloy. It was probably about 16" in diameter and perhaps half an inch thick or better. They all moved the gong pretty well but the interesting thing is that the Marlin 44 Magnum seemed to be...

Is there anyone that still makes a lower profile safety for the Winchester model 54? Is there a conversion to a model 70-type safety, that would be more scope-friendly?

I was wondering if there is a list of single/double-action autopistols that separates those with second-strike capabilities from those without. Of particular interest in that regard, would be the CZ-75 pistols. I'm a lot more familiar with revolvers but could use some knowledge from others in...

So, the Winchester model 70 Alaskan comes in magnum calibers plus 30-'06. Why do they list magazine capacity at three rounds for the 30-'06? Is this a misprint that everyone else keeps repeating? The other versions of the rifle have a 5 round capacity in this caliber. This can't be right...

Which is the better cast-bullet shooter; 32 Winchester Special or 30-30 Winchester, and why? This assumes a dedicated handloader that is immune to the price difference of factory ammo and has plenty of components, etc.

Hi everybody; I thought this would be the best place to get answers: So, I have this Marlin Cowboy, one of the earlier ones with the 24" octagon barrel, in 45 Colt. The problem is that the chamber is large enough that I get bulged cartridge cases upon firing. I believe it's a common problem...
