    Security Six night sights

    I'd like to get some night sights for my Ruger Security Six. The only offering seems to be the XS big dot sight, which I don't want. I'm not interested in glow in the dark paint or the like, but a fiber optic sight set might be in order if the night sights can't be done. I see Meprolight makes...

    308 AK musings, accuracy, mag conversions, and bullpups

    A question for those with experience with the VEPR and Siaga AK's in .308, what kind of accuracy are you able to squeeze out of these rifles?

    Springfield 1903 questions

    I picked up a sporterized Springfield 1903-A3 over the weekend and already I have thoughts about customizing it. I recall a few years ago seeing a floorplate for the German Mausers that enabled it to hold about 20 rounds for trench warare. Has anyone made such an extension for the 1903-A3...

    Will 44 special dies work with 44 mag?

    A few months ago I traded for a set of 44 mag dies. Well I finally took a closer look at them yesterday and found that they are really 44 special dies. Dammit. I'm curious if I'll be able to use them for loading my 44 mags or do I need to get a real set of 44 mag dies? Thanks in advance

    How easy is it to drill and tap?

    I'm considering dripping and tapping the side of my ruger 96/44 to install a side mounted peep sight such as the Williams 5D. How feasable is this without an extensive array of gunsmithing equipment? What tools would I need to proceed with this to do a nice job? All suggestions welcome.

    ruger 96/44 magazines

    Higher capacity ruger 96/44 magazines I love my new 96/44. I hate the magazine capacity. There's 2 options I've been thinking about. Making entirely new magazines out of current ones, by epoxying a block to fit it in the ruger mag well, or making a magazine adaptor that would fit the ruger mag...

    Opinions on Tikka vs. Remington ?

    I've been toying lately with the idea of a heavy, very accurrate, high powered 'do anything' rifle in 300 win mag. The 2 rifles I've been comparing are the Tikka Master Sporter and Remington PSS. Both are similar in price, both have heavy floated barrels. Does anyone have opinions and experience...

    Benelli 121 questions

    I have an opportunity to get a Benelli 121 in a trade, however I know nothing about it. The Benelli website doesn't seem to have any info on it either. It's in excellent condition and has the super 90 pistol grip stock on it. Can someone share their experiences of it and give me an idea of what...

    Does anyone know if one can safely chamber and fire 44 mags or specials through a 444 Marlin? They sure look like they're close in case diameter but I've never measured.

    Rem 11-87 questions

    I am considering buying a used Remington 11-87 for a nice price. I will be using it primarily for skeet, but I want to be able to use it for hunting and defense as well. Will 3-dram, 1 oz general pupose loads cycle the action reliably? If I get a 18 or 20 inch barrel will reliability be affected?

    M-1 carbine variations

    Have there been any attempts at chambering the .30 cal M-1 carbine in different calibers? I'm not interested in weapons based on the M-1 like the Mini-14, but chamberings that just require the changing of the barrel, such as a .30 carbine case necked down to a .22 or .25 bullet. Does such a...
