Are the CZ model 50 .32 ACP & the model 70 .32 ACP the same gun? Dumb question but I have seen mags listed for the 50 & 70 as the same mags and the pics I have seen look the same. The reason I ask is that the CZ 50 is on the approved Maryland Hand gun Roster but the 70 isn't and I found a 70 I...

What is the maximum cartridge length that a New Model Ruger Balckhawk .45ACP/.45Colt will accept? Just wondering as I have one that I can't pick up yet but I want to load some ammo so I'm ready for the range. I have some 310g LBT bullets from Leadheads and when loaded to the crimp groove they...

Taurus has just introduced a 5-shot .45ACP revolver to the Tracker line of revolvers. It uses their own moon clip design called Stellar Clip. It appears from the ad on the back of the American Rifleman that it has a ported 4" barrel and a stainless steel finish. Also of interest in the ad is...

I have some Oxpho blue that I want to use to blue a 1911 while I decide what frontstrap treatment I want and before I decide on a final finish (this is an in-the-white gun). I have heard of a hot water method of using oxpho blue that supposedly gives a great, even finish. I read about it on...

I am looking for a source of hard cast lead bullets for the .41 Magnum. I want a hard cast bullet in the 175g-180g range, preferably a SWC, but shape is not of the utmost concern. All of the big lead bullet companies I can find do 215g SWC, and some that do 245-260, but nothing lighter. I know...

I am looking to buy a nice, accurate out-of-the-box rifle in .308 Winchester. I have been looking hard at the FN Special Police Rifle and pretty much had mine mind set on it, but it is almost $1000. At some point I also want a .338 Lapua Magnum, which Sako makes in the TRG-S, so I got to...

I bought a used Benelli M1 Tactical that came equipped with factory rifle sights. I would like to replace them with tritium ghost ring sights. I know that Benelli makes factory GRNS, but how do they mount? Will it be necessary to drill & tap the receiver? Any help is appreciated. Also, I am...

Hi all, I was looking at all of the different rifle kits available, as well as pistol kits, and thinking that it would be fun to venture into the world of building my own rifles (and pistols). What books, videos, web sites, etc have good information on the various aspects of custom gun...

Is the Walther P99 conventionally rifled or polygonal? Just wondering for shooting lead.

I have read about & heard about multiple lead balls (2 to 3) being loaded in 38 special & 357 magnum loads. Apparently, at one time Remington loaded a 2 ball load for the 38 and a 3 ball load for the 357. Does anyone have information and/or load data for this type of load? Anyone know of...

I have read a few articles about extra heavy 9mm bullet loads. 158g lead to be exact. The articles (Guns & Ammo and one elsewhere) stated that they used .357 158g lead bullets resized to 9mm diameter. Does anyone know of a place selling them pre-sized? I would like to experiment with some but I...
