    Lyman adjustable choke bead

    I have an old Remington Model 11 with a Lyman adjustable choke. The front bead has gone missing from the choke. Does any know what size the threads are for this bead? Thanks, Tom

    Magazine retention (Browning BDA .45)

    I saw the poll in the semiauto pistol forum, and it made me think about my Browning BDA .45. Basically, this is a SIG P220 Euro with Browning markings. It has the European-style heel mounted mag release. Even when the catch is opened, the magazines stay put pretty tight. I assume that this...

    Marlin 336: Pics, so it must have happened.

    Here awhile back, I "accidentally" bought a Marlin 336 on Gunbroker. I bid on purpose, but I never expected the gun to sell for $202. It is used, and shows wear on the metal and the wood. The "bullseye" was missing; Marlin sent me a new one for free. The plug screws on top of the receiver...

    Colt Trooper

    I am sorely tempted. I was in a gun emporium to day, and saw a Trooper in the used case for $330. It was the first time I have handled one, and the trigger pull was VERY nice. It compared quite favorably to the pull on my wife's 686. This seemed like an awesome price for a 4" range/house...

    What do I have, and what do I need?

    I love my wife's cousin. He inherited all the gun stuff in his family, and he is generously sharing things he won't use. His dad's old-school reloading gear has come to me: An orange press (marked with an "H" inside a "C" and "by Roddy") RCBS Piggyback Conversion Unit RCBS Uniflow Powder...

    Ruger P89 vs. P95 vs. Glock 19

    I used to have a Ruger P89, which shot very well for me. I let it get away, and I am thinking about re-filling my 9mm gap in the pistol portfolio. Today at the range, I was able to shoot both a Ruger P95 and a Glock 19. I had expected the P95 to give me results like the P89. It did not. The...
