    Centerfire or percussion Sharps?

    At the last gun-show (going there for entertainment, unbeatable!) a local BP arms dealer had a very nice percussion-Sharps with set-trigger and vernier sight. Now you can use them with brass cases that can be preloaded (they have a small hole at the bottom for ignition by the cap). I don't know...

    Ruger P90 extractor/ejector

    Does anyone know how to exchange the extractor on a Ruger P 90? Recently, I got some problems with extraction/ejection. There is no problem if I load 3 of my hand-loaded rounds (200 gr Lead RN, 5.1 gr W 231, OAL 1.235") into the magazine. As soon as I load more, I have at least 2 failures to...

    Problems w/Luger pistol

    1916 Luger P08 in 9 mm has a lot of problems to feed. Despite 3 (new) different magazines, every magazine produces a FTF. Some of the rounds ar jammed at the bottom of the ramp/chamber, some at top of the chamber. The magazines have some play, but even when the magazine is pushed upwards during...

    Are we still living in a free country?

    The headline might be a bit misleading, what I mean is, do you think you are still a free citizen in this country, your freedoms are protected by the constitution of the country, resp. the states? If yes, what is the difference to i.e. Switzerland, Austria, Italy... Western Europe? Some time...

    How to remove cylinder of a Taurus M85?

    Does anybody know how to remove the cylinder of a Taurus M85 from the crane? It's a pain to clean the chambers with the cylinder on. I found out that turning the ejection-rod counterclockwise will remove the rod, but the cylinder is still on an axle (?). In the users manual is no hint how to...

    The Decline of Common Sense

    Does anyone have an explanation, why common sense declines and insanity increases so rapidly even on a daily basis? Even amongst so called "highly educated" people? Was it that easy for the public "schools" and Hollyweird? The few remaining people with common sense, honesty, values, and morals...

    Where is Coopers Commentaries?

    I posted this question 1 month ago and got a good web-address in Great Britain. No one seems to be concerned what happened to Cooper here on the FL! Brits are not allowed to have a glance at a gun, but, our own celebrity Cooper cannot be viewed at the TFL-site? What, the hell is going on? Did...

    What is going on with Jeff Cooper's Commentaries?

    Since 2 weeks I try to open the link but to no avail. All the other links work. Is there an explanation for it? I like his commentaries (even if I don't agree every time). Thanks

    Why remain gun manufacturers in anti-gun states?

    Does anyone have some explanation why gun-manufacturers remain in anti-gun and high-tax states instead of moving to a better sourrounding? A lot of companies went out of the country, so why not just move to another state? The effect? This would give the "politicians" pressure enough to think...

    Are police obliged to protect an individual?

    Is police obliged to protect an individual? I saw some threads here about that subject (26 court decisions denied it?) but I cannot find the threads anymore. The only thread to the subject spoke about "a government and it's agents" are not obliged to do so. Does anyone know where I can find...

    Loose Winchester 94 buttstock

    The buttstock of my Winchester 94 (.44 Mag) is loose (about 1/8" fore+aft, up + down) despite a very tight tang-screw. Does anybody know how to fix this? :confused:

    Source for lead bullets

    There are some suppliers that offer .45 LRN for $35.00/1000 and less, but shipping is more as the value of the bullets. Does anyone know a bullet-caster in Southern Nevada or bordering states? Up to now I bought Western Nevada Bullets from a local dealer but they were $60.00/1000.

    K-Mart bankruptcy

    Do you think that shooter's boycott did have a significant effect on K-Mart? Are there any facts that show how much business they lost from shooters/hunters?

    Light load for Winchester 94 in .44 Mag?

    I am looking for a light load for paper-punching and plinking. I would like to use .44 mag brass, 200 - 240 grain lead flat-noses, loaded to 800 - 1000 fps. Can I use the .44 mag brass instead of .44 special? Can I use W 231 or do I have to use a slower burning powder? My books show me some...

    Seeking advice for 357 Mag lever gun

    I consider the purchase of a lever action gun in a revolver-caliber. As I am not a hunter but a plinker and paper-puncher, this gun would have to swallow a lot of lead bullets, so I thought of a Winchester 94 in .357 Mag/.38 Special with a 20" barrel. At 1200 to 1300 fps, would such a...

    Rosie supports child killer ???

    I don't know if it's reality or a nightmare. I heard it on a radio program yesterday night: Rosie O'Donnel and Katie Kouric are collecting money to defend that mass-killer that uses her hands to kill 5 children one at a time in her bathtub! Childs badly struggling for their lives. Chased her...

    Reloading Winchester "clean" brass

    Does anyone have some experience in reloading the "win-clean" brass with the huge primer flash hole? Does anyone know what powder Winchester uses? Don't tell me to contact Winchester, I asked 2-times, no answer in two months.:rolleyes:

    Explanations for Weaver/Isoceles stance?

    I read a lot the words "weaver" or "isoceles" stance but there is never an explanation what it is. Can someone out there explain it or give a source where to read about it?

    Suppliers for .45 LRN and .38 LSWC in Las Vegas, NV?

    There are some suppliers that offer .45 LRN for $35.00/1000 and less, but shipping is more as the value of the bullets. Does anyone know a small or 1-man business in or around Las Vegas, Nevada? Up to now I bought Western Nevada Bullets from a local dealer but they were $60.00/1000. How do you...
