Looking for your feedback on Haugen leather products.

I just started loading .45 Colt for a lever action rifle. I noticed that Speer's latest manual has some loads listed with a caveat that they are too long for lever action rifles. However, other reloading sources have even longer loads and don't give any warnings about OAL. Does anybody know if...

Looking for some comparative info on the current production Marlin 1894 and Winchester (USRAC) Trapper leverguns. Specifically, quality and quality control. I'm interested in .45 Colt caliber, but info on quality of other calibers of the same model appreciated.

I am considering purchasing a folding stock for the Rem 870 for occasional use when transportation and storage space is at an absolute premium, and when even a cased, fully stocked 870 would be too conspicuous. (I would keep the full stock on the 870 most of the time, and swap the folder only...

I sent in my subscription more weeks ago than I can remember. (Late-September or early-October?) I still haven't received my first issue. Any idea what the current lag time is before I should get the first issue?

Looking for some informed thoughts on scope mounts and rings for a Remington 700 (standard length action). Intended use is occasional hunting and informal target shooting. Scope most likely to be mounted is a 3x9 40mm. Mounts: One piece or two piece? Any preferred make or model? Style...

I was asked to look at a S&W 18-3 with a misfire problem and so far have come up empty. The gun is in excellent condition, showing little use. When shooting double action, it will typically misfire 2 or 3 out of six chambers with .22 LR standard and HV ammo. Interestingly, all 6 chambers...

I have gotten word of a negligent discharge of a round of Estate Tactical 00 Buck and thought the group here would be interested in the performance on building materials. Details are still a little sketchy, and I have not examined the site yet. The incident happened in a ground floor apartment...

How were the old Colt D-frame hammer shrouds installed? Did one have to drill and tap the gun for the two screws on the side? And what is the purpose of the hole in the shroud atop the backstrap?

I'm looking for feedback on "high-tech" gun finishes like NP3, Black-T, Roguard, Gunkote, etc. I'm less concerned with the property of lubricity, and more concerned with abrasion resistance. That is, how well do these finishes hold up to wear caused by metal-to-metal contact, and holster wear...

Looking for recommendations of an experienced gunsmith who has a proven track record of working triggers on Series 80 Colt's. Not looking for match work, but defensive carry. Give me a rough idea about turnaround time, if you know. Note I am specifying "Series 80" purposely. Personal...

Finally got around to publishing the write-up of my gun-care products salt-spray torture tests. [Thanks to Dean Speir at The Gun Zone.] http://communities.prodigy.net/sportsrec/gz-rust.html Questions, comments, criticisms, emotional outbursts, etc., are welcome.

Looking for .41 Magnum loading data using 210 or 215 grain LSWC bullets and Unique. I have data for other powders. Prefer loads in the 900 to 1000 fps range. Please let me know if any velocities you cite are published or chronographed. Thanks to all in advance. [This message has been edited...

I had a student at the range shooting an older Sig P220 in .45 ACP. On his fifth shot from a fully-loaded 7-round mag the slide would lock back almost every time. Inspection revealed the top cartridge was not hung up or depressed in any way. It appeared that the slide lock was simply engaging...
