Thought I would share a trigger modification I performed on my Ruger last year. Installed an overtravel adjustment screw into the trigger guard housing. First attachment shows Super RedHawk at rest.

What is involved in converting a Smith model 60 from SA/DA to Double Action Only? The obvious part of the conversion is to replace the hammer or grind off the hammer spur. I get the impression there is some alteration to the internals. If so, what exactly is involved?

I have a 12 guage Mossberg/Maverick AOW shotgun with a pistol grip only stock. I would like to replace the pistol grip with a conventional stock that is cut off quite short and rounded on the end. Cut where the "neck" of the stock transitions into the "comb" if either of those terms apply to a...

The High Road has always been espoused as the route to choose when posting here, a policy I applaud and try to adhere to, although I have been known to slide down hill from time to time. Personal attacks and profanity are not part of the High Road Philosophy. Nor is trolling, racial slurs...

http://keepandbeararms.com/information/XcIBViewItem.asp?ID=3499 Ran across this link and thought it was great! Written in 1981 but may as well have been today. If this is old news I apologize. Have not seen it before and thought it was worth sharing. Keep and Bear Arms is a great website.

I have watched both episodes of the the new TV series The Shield, and it bothers me that I like it so much. I do like it. It's slick, on the edge, and it has my good friend Tony, from that other cop show where he was a good guy police commissioner. "The Commish"? Whatever. Unfortunately the...

Saw a clip that is available on the Flash Theatre (at the top of the page) posted at another site. Thought this might be a good time to point out to the newer members that it is lurking at the top of the page along with a lot of other good stuff. http://www.cphv.com/fl_legacy.htm This is the...

Well, not yet. But it made you look, right? :D If this is old news, forgive me. I just found it. There is a petition at the KABA site that you need to sign. It is addressed to Attorney General Ashcroft, and it concerns your second ammendment rights. It is asking him to go to California and...

It has been asked in the Revolver Forum whether it would be possible or prudent to create some sort of on line petition here in such a way that members could "sign" it and then send this petition to Smith and Wesson. The gist of the petition would be a call to action on the part of Smith to...

A friend of mine bought one last week and we went to the range yesterday to check it out. Not a gun I would buy, but he has big hands and thought it would be a hoot. He bought the gun used (slightly), and the owner's manual recomends shooting 158gr. ammo. He took some Winchester 158gr. to...

I'm going to be up-grading the scope on my AR-10 A-4 carbine between now and Spring. I have a newbie question regarding expensive scopes. What do target knobs do? I'm looking at something along the line of a Leupold Vari-X III 6 1/2-20X50. Do I want Adjustable Objective or side focus? Do these...

Went to the gunshow with my wife this weekend. Justified the hundred mile trip by explaining that I needed more ammo cans. Took some cash and a six inch Anaconda that I am not too attached to "just in case" I saw something I could not live without. I've been thinking about a .44 Mag snubby to...

Went to the range today and shot handguns and rifles. I was shooting my AR-10 at about 250yds. when someone came in and drove up toward where my target was set up. :( I saw them come in, so I quit shooting, threw the gun in the truck,and followed them up to the target stand. They were setting...

Time to beat the horse again. :) We have gotten quite a few new members recently, so I don't think it's out of line to state once again that Smith and Wesson is a back-stabbing traitorous organization that would like to see us all restricted to buying no firearms except those that they market...

Lake City Special Ball. Saw some at the gun show in 20rd. boxes for $10.00 a box. I believe it was designated 7.62X51. Can't remember if it is 164gr.,167gr., or 174gr. Seller said it is extremely acurate, and is used by "Army Snipers" in bolt action rifles. Anybody familiar with such ammo...

:D :D Followed me home. NIB I love gun shows.:D

This year has been very sparse in the gun-buying department. For the last six weeks I have been struck with a fever every Saturday about noon. Gunshop Fever. I want a Kimber Compact, bad. Prefferably a CDP. It has taken a concerted effort to find projects to keep me occupied until I know the...

I've got an Armalite AR-10 that is giving me a small problem. It's chambered for 7.62X51. The firing pin leaves a very deep depression in primers. I've fired about 600 rounds through it using FNM (Portugese), Hirtenberger, and Venezualan. Of the 200 rounds of Hirtenberger I've shot, I found...

Out shooting my AR-10 today. Hirtenberger 7.62X51 Ball ammo. Manufactured 1979. Picking up the brass, I found two casings that had pierced primers. The circle where the firing pin struck the primer was cut half way around the edge, and pushed back out far enough to stick out. When I glanced at...

I will be using a new internet service provider starting next week. Do I need to re-register at that time? If I use the same user name will my posting history stay as it is? What if I decide to pick a new user name? I think I know the answers to one or two of these questions, but I would...
