I went into a small gunstore in north-west Ohio the other day and found something I had been wanting, but had given up on ever finding. An almost brand new Remington 1100, 2 3/4 inch "Special Field" 21 inch vent rib barrel, with choke tubes. It was very reasonably priced and the salesman even...

This happened to me today during Stage 3, String 2 of the IDPA classifier. I had two magazines on my left hip, one in the pistol, and two more in my left front jeans pocket. As I finished the first string of Stage 3, I rotated the two mags from my pocket to my mag pouches. When I reloaded my...

My brother-in-law is a bird hunter. He asked me if I had ever heard of a shotgun company called Verona (I think). I guess they are made in Italy. The story he told is that it was started by dis-satisfied Beretta employees. Does anyone have any info on this company? Cat

Perhaps you can answer a question that was asked of me recently. I shoot an old S&W Model 39-2. I was asked if that was the pistol that was used by the U.S. Navy SEALs in the '60s. It could have been as far as I know, but do you know for sure? Cat

I notice the flash hole in Winchesters new "Brass Encased Bullet" ammo in .45acp and .38 special, is a lot bigger than the normal flash hole in other brass. I imagine this is due to the no-lead priming compound having a lower flame temperature or some such chemical reason. I would think that...

In 1987 I bought a Simmons Gold Medal 6.5x20 'scope for my new Ruger 77V .308. It has been on my Ruger 77V .220 Swift and recently a Ruger 10/22T. Last month, while shooting a match with the 10/22T, one of the lenses popped out of its mount inside the scope. I call Simmons and talked with...

Last Sunday I made it to an IDPA match in Copley, Ohio. Good match with 4 stages. All practical and educational. Wednesday evening shot in a local club "Practical Defensive Pistol" match in South Amherst, Ohio. Again a good match. This evening I shot at another club match at the Erie...

We had a small action (Combat) pistol "Club Match" today. We normally get anywhere from 12 to 25 shooters at these matches, but the weather looked bad and it had rained overnight. The wind was blowing and it was about 40 degrees out. Well seven shooters showed up so we had a match. These...

I have a chance to pick up an Enfield Mark I for $75. The bore looks OK. It's a CAI import. I would get it mostly for nostalgic reasons and an occasional trip to the range. It would spend a lot of time next to my '03 in the rack. (They could tell each other war stories). What do you think...

BillOH, I notice you are from Ohio and shoot IDPA. Which part of Ohio are you from and where do you shoot? I'm from north central Ohio and shoot IDPA matches at North Olmsted, Litchfield, and Ashland Lake Gun Club. I even run over to Copley now and again if it's an off week for the other...
