    Winchester Model 60

    When my mother-in-law moved out of her house after 60 years she gave me a Winchester model 60. My best guess is it hasn't been fired for at least 50 years. She said up until 5-8 years ago she would clean and oil it every year. My question is what do I need to check on before I take it to the...

    357 mag for marlin lever

    I've loaded a few hundred rounds for my 380 and 9mm with no problems. Now I'm ready to start loading for my Marlin 1894 carbine. I've got the Lee 3 die set, the question is should I get the Lee factory crimp die? I'll be using 2400 and 158 grain xtp. Thanks, Dan

    38/357 180 gr

    I've got a chance to pick up some 38/357 JTC-SIL and TMJ bullets at a real good price. When I check my books I can't find any load for that heavy of a bullet for a 38 (S&W Model 15). The only powder I have at this time is Win 231. What are you're recommendations? Thanks, Dan

    Finish on inside of wood grip

    I was looking at the walnut grips on my Beretta 92FS and noticed that the insides were unfinished. Should I put a couple of coats of poly on the back side to protect it from any clp or oil that might get on the grips. Thanks in advance for your help.
