Until this weekend I had two shotguns, a Rem 870 HD for it's intended purpose, and a Winchester semi-automatic for playing with clay targets. I gave the Winchester away, and was happy to do so. I reunited a man with his dead father's shotgun, and likely his long dead grandfather's shotgun...

I have a SMLE with the ladder rear sight in the middle of the bbl. I have heard that Williams sells a couple of peep-type rear sights that can be mounted to this rifle. Has anyone done this? Where did you get the sight? Do it yourself or have a smith do it? Thanks, DanM

Can any of you more experienced folks help me out with some things that I am spending way too much time pondering? I am a fairly experienced handloader, including one and only one loading for a .308 that I have had a while. It is a .308 Ishy, and I have been making 150 gr SP loads for it that I...

I am not new to firearms, but am new to the idea of getting myself a SA revolver. Any opinions are solicited and welcome. I am thinking SA, and .44 Magnum. Also, I am thinking that I will be visiting a SASS type shoot sometime soon, and once I do I will be hooked. So why not get a SA .44...
