I am not sure if this is the proper place to post this but I have an excess of primers I doubt I will ever get around to using. I have 5,000 Wolf small rifle primers I bought a few years ago and have more than I need. I would like to list these on one of the online auction sites but am not sure...

Is anyone else having trouble logging in to the Smith-Wesson forum? I don't go there very often but can't seem to log in right now. And I have my user name and password stored. http://smith-wessonforum.com/forum.php

I have a model 10-5 with a 6" barrel. The barrel is pinned in the frame. I have located a 4" barrel for it and would like some advise about how to best go about swapping out the barrels. Whats the best tool for tapping out the locking pin? Whats the best way to hold the frame and what tools do...

I know that old time bullet penetration test were done by shooting at 1" blocks of wood baffles and seeing how many pieces of wood the bullet went through but at what range did they do the shooting? One poster said it was a hundred yards and thats probably true for rifles but what range for...

My mother worked for the Tarrant County Sheriffs office for around 18 years and carried a Nickle Plated S&W model 10 at work. She is 83 and decided she didn't want it around the house anymore and wanted me to take it with me. So now I have a new model 10-8. This is the only nickle plated gun I...

I bought a Taurus TCP 380 a month or two ago and am less than enchanted with the ammo prices. The gun is great. Its lightweight and you forget you have it but 380 ammo is considerably more costly than 9mm which I also reload. So I was thinking a compact 9mm might be a good alternative. But I...

I have sort of gotten interested in one of these guns to replace a 22lr pocket pistol I just sold. I tried to do a search here but if you put in Taurus and 380 you get a bunch of unrelated threads. I guess it has been discontinued since they are not shown on the Taurus website and replaced...

I was watching this documentary last night on David Berkowitz/Son Of Sam and in the story it stated the Charter Arms Bulldog was designed for use by the Sky Marshals in the heyday of skyjacking airliners. I had never heard that before. Any one else heard that the CA Bulldog was an Air Marshals...

Is the 6.8 SPC round still in use? I haven't heard much about it in the last couple of years. Of all the alternate rounds loaded in the AR-15 style rifles I thought it was the best of the bunch with a good balance of power and bullet weight. I just checked the Ruger site to see if they still...

Heard on the news today that New Zealand is banning all military style rifles and an immediate ban on the sale of parts to make them down the road. Also a gun turn in (buy back) to be put in place. I fully expected this. After all Australia did the same thing long ago. I am guessing the people...

I looked at one of these at a new local store (Atwoods) and I thought it looked like a decent gun for the $300 they were asking for it. Anyone have one and any experience with it? I tried to do a search but type in Ruger and Security and you get a bunch of threads that you are not looking for.

I found this 1911 on Buds website but know nothing about them. I have read a couple of post that mentioned them but I am no 1911 expert. I started a thread way back in 2015 asking about base model 1911s like the SA Mil-Spec and many recommended the RIA 1911 GI A1. I liked that gun. It has...

My bud has a Remington 1100 that fires one shot then the bolt stays open like it was the last shell in the tube when it isn't. It does this with factory loads and hand loads. And its squeaky clean because I did a complete tear down and cleaning myself. I suspect there is a problem with the...

Ask about anyone what rifles the beaver trappers and mountain men carried with them and you will be told they carried Hawken guns made by Sam and Jacob Hawken in St Louis. I thought so too. But a little more reading and google searching turned this up. I also stated in another thread on the...

Anyone try the Alliant MZ? My bud watched a couple of youtube vids and the poster was bragging on it. I did a google search and see it has been discontinued. Well since it has been discontinued that made it more interesting. I found that Sportsmans Warehouse had it for $9.99 a pound. Free...

I just looked on youtube and it seems all the Brush Hippie videos are gone. Anyone know what happened to them?

Just won this Pedersoli rifle off GB for what I think is a good price for what they are selling for at Dixie Gun works. I have owned a Pedersoli Blue Ridge rifle many years ago and it was a fine shooting gun. This is in .45 caliber and is my favorite BP rifle caliber to shoot. I have another...

I have considered buying a big bore single action revolver with the looks of the 1873 Colt Peacemaker. I was interested in the Uberti guns but it seems like I saw a video of the new guns and they had some sort of firing pin that tucks away to make the gun safe. I did a search and found nothing...

I am considering ordering powder. I looked on the Graf & Sons site and they have their own branded powder that some have said is repackaged Schuetzen powder. How does the Shuetzen compare to the standard Goex powder a far as power goes? Many years ago I bought several cans of Elephant brand...

I have seen several threads on making BP like the one going on now but does anyone knapp their own flints? I have been watching youtube videos on how to make them and it doesn't look too hard. But most were made using Engliush flint. Its reported to be the best for the job. I have a pan of flint...
