    Rear aperture sight on Lakefield 90B

    I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've got a left-handed Lakefield 90B bolt-action .22 rifle that I took in to sell for a friend. I have a customer interested in buying, but I noticed that the rear aperture sight is missing. My friend is looking through his part to see if he has it...

    Where to get Beretta 626 stocks?

    Hi, I just aquired a group of shotguns, including a couple of Beretta 626 Onyx SxS shotguns, in 12 and 20 gauge, that I immediately fell in love with. Would love to keep them for myself, but they've got left-handed stocks on them. And, well, I ain't a lefty. Can anyone tell me where I can get...

    Help identifying Merkel

    Hi all, I'm wondering if someone can help me identify this side-by-side. My research leads me to believe it's a Merkel Model 8 made in November 1990, but I've never seen a gun with no apparent indication of its model before, and I'd like to be sure about it before trying to value it. Any help...

    Beretta 424, stock twisted for lefties

    I have a buddy getting rid of a Beretta 424 SxS that belonged to his father. I'm either going to buy it for myself or resell it. The 'twist' (ha ha) is that his father was left-handed, and he *thinks* his father may have had the stock steamed/twisted to accomodate him. I haven't verified this...

    Shotshell reloading worth the time?

    Hi all, I've been reloading my pistol rounds for a little while now, and am starting to get into trap shooting. Naturally, as a reloader, I assumed I would eventually roll my own shotshells as well. But after doing the math, I can't see how it's worth it. Perhaps my assumptions are incorrect...

    .22LR CCI Std Velocity - 32 vs 35

    I did a few searches, but I can't seem to find an answer to this... Does anyone know if there's a difference between CCI SV #32 in the plastic box and #35 in the cardboard box? Thx - DT

    Black flakes while shooting

    Hi all, I've been reloading for 9mm and 380. I was shooting some lead FP bullets in my 380 today, and found a lot of black crap on my right arm. I was using the starting load that I looked up - 100gr lead/2.3gr W231. I'm using up some older CCI 500 primers. Two questions - 1. Any idea what...

    Proper position of Weaver base on S&W 41

    Hi all, I'm about to take the barrel from my Model 41 to a smith to be drilled and tapped for a Weaver base. I have the #62 base ready to go, but can someone tell me which way the base gets mounted, just in case the gunsmith is unsure? As you can see in the picture, one end of the base has...

    .380 *dies* shortage?

    Hi all, I recently got myself a Lee Pro 1000 press to start reloading for 9mm and .380. The press came set up for 9mm, but everyone seems to be out of the .380 dies. In fact, I see them going for $80-100 on eBay! I can kinda understand the shortage of .380 ammo, as manufacturers stay tooled...
