Looking for some input from those who have used the Gem-tech offering. Not as concerned with it's suppression (a 42 gr. bullet at a rated 1020 fps should be pretty quiet), but rather the accuracy and experiences you have had in various handguns and rifles. I understand it is made by CCI...

Thought I had seen about every headstamp out there. The ammo is in square 20 rd. cardboard boxes with a white paper seal marked (top) 20 rounds (side) 308 WIN Headstamped - H 1 - on top and - 7.62 - on the bottom. Green colored primer seal on the majority of the bright brass (no annealing...

Looking to a little input on your favorite seating depth for the 452460 or the plated 200gr. SWC in a 45acp automatic that gives you good function. Seems like I recall seating the bullet shoulder 1/32nd" above the case mouth as being a popular starting spot. Sound about right? Or do you go...

Just curious if I have a future collector's item or if other 50AE owners have a similarly marked one. As you can see, the 50AE magazine on the right has been date and caliber stamped in an odd fashion. It is a MR magazine. Both it and the 5-95 to the left have the early 'grooved top' follower...

I did not figure to get caught in the wave of what I thought was 'black rifle' frenzy. Already have all I want. Knew from this site and others that .223,.308 , and .22 LR along with AWB threatened firearms were in demand, but just did realize how serious the general gun buying was. Was at my...

Apologize for the confusing post.

I am considering either one for my M16 carbine. My nephew is quite a bit smaller in stature and I think the adjustable length of pull would be a benefit. It will be his in a few years, so I wanted to start getting him shooting it with a stock that is both comfortable and one that fits. Problem...

Hilarious - and scary at the same time. It's safe to say the way this guy treats the gun, they won't get any of my gun repair business. This video is, without a doubt, the most inept and dangerous demonstration - by a professional? - of the new Colt .308/.223 convertible that one could...

Anybody mess with the 155gr. lead SWCs in their .45? Picked up a box of 500 to play around with. Alliant shows no loads at all. Looking for something in the 800 fps area. Thanks, JT

I tried searching for this with no luck. Has anyone heard if Ruger has any plans along those lines? I think it would make a nice practice pistol and plinker to boot. Especially if they make it 8 shot or 10 shot. Thanks for any links to previous discussions if any. JT

I am looking for anyone with ideas/experience for straightening a pair of early 3rd black plastic Woodsman grips. The bottom of both grips has flared out slightly but there is no front to back warpage, just top to bottom. The gun is ANIB, so it was not from overtightening. I really conclude...

I put a photo of two on here. Both are .38 special. The left one is ser. no. 366xxx from 1928. Right one is 490xxx from 1947. Both guns appear to be stock. Note the different triggers. Does anyone have data on when Colt went from the smooth early trigger to a checkered? Or if the checkered...

I could use a little help finding Skeeter Skelton's preferred .38 and .357 loads. I must confess to giving away all of my 'Shooting Times' at gun shows during one of those 'gotta make room, something has to go' moments. I do miss writers like him who really tested the gear themslves in the...

Could use a little help finding finding out disassembly instructions for the Steyr GB. Picked up a nice one with the box, but no manual. I do have extensive (or I used to think so) firearms savvy, but this one has me stumped. I tried locking back the slide and rotating the right side lever to...

Just wondering if it is legal or not to carry concealed with permit when meeting passenger on arriving flight. I figure federal law applies on this. I really am not up on the laws since 9-11 and do not know how 'far' you can carry on airport grounds. I do appreciate any sincere replies...
