    Woot! New to me S&W M14

    I've been on the hunt for a M14 for a while now. Wanting a target shooting revolver. I've found several on GB and the like but just hate buying something I can't look over in person. Found a couple on websites at area gun stores but gone before I found the time to go see them. Off work today...

    Took my KY CCDW class today

    I've never felt the need to pursue it until recently. Moving to a new area of the state, quite a bit more urban, and think I'll exercise my rights till I get more comfortable with the new surroundings. Interesting at points. Down right boring at others. Did walk away with a new understanding...

    New addition to the collection - M396

    I knew better than to visit the gun shop. I've been eying one of these for a couple months. All it took was to physically handle it. Can't wait to get to the range.

    S&W M396 .44SPL Night Guard

    I'm thinking about picking one up. I've handled one and like the way it feels. Anybody have any personal experience with one? Accuracy, long term reliability. I tend to shoot what I own.... a lot.

    Annealing 22 Hornet Brass?

    I'm loosing a lot of 22 Hornet brass. Cracked necks. Not so many reloads on them. I know the Hornet brass is considered fragile, really thin neck and shoulder. I'm considering annealing a new batch I have coming. Wondering if anyone has tried annealing this particular cartridge and if so were...

    Breaking my heart

    An uncle who has shot and reloaded all his life is getting on in years has started handing off some of his loaded ammo to me. No idea how long this has been loaded up but part of a lot of about 300 rounds. Handed off to me in a cardboard box and all rounds in plastic pull top 20 round ammo...

    Curious bullet

    Found these in an old cigar box of miscellaneous bullets. I've never seen a bullet design like this. They are .223 diameter. Just curious about them.

    What do YOU go through to get your brass?

    Please tell me that there are others out there that would call this a score :D I've got an uncle getting on in years and has reloaded and shoot his entire life. About every time I go see him he's giving me this and that. Today he gave me some brass that had been sitting around in an out...

    Sight Adjustments

    Okay, I feel like an idiot. I thought I remembered this from way back but I searched the internet and have come up with 3 references with 2 opposite answers. I have an 1885 Uberti that I've installed a set of Baldwin Sights on. Some pretty good time spent at the range today and my point of...

    Load Pictures

    Little bored today so I lined up all the cartridges I currently shoot and load. Post up yours. For the heck of it can you name them all? Left to right. Not that it would be hard being they are common. One may be a guess from a picture.

    Pay to Play

    Picked up an 1885 Uberti in 45-70 a couple weeks back. I've been reloading 45-70 for a while and have several loaded up with 300g bullets. Wanted to try some 500g. Found these today at a Gun Shop that I'd never been to. A little over a $1.00 a piece. :eek: Guess I should be happier. They were...

    Ruger 77/22 Bolt Accurizing

    I recently picked up a used Ruger 77 in 22 Hornet. Doing some research on the net and finding they can have accuracy problems. One help being shimming the 2 piece bolt up to remove slop. Anyway I've pulled the bolt out checking it out and I've found engraved on the bottom of it 11954 AD...

    My tastes are changing

    Getting older? Conservative? Maybe something to do with taking the boy along now and showing him the sport? Somewhat subtle but I noticed while looking in the safe. Single shot and bolt action rifles now sitting in the front row. More small bores. The auto loaders and bigger bores behind...

    John Moses Browning was THE MAN

    So I'm a fan of the guy. Love my 85 Winchester's 1911's, A5. Watching a show today on the Military Channel on the new San Antonio class Amphibious Transport Dock ship. All the new high tech defenses then they swing around to a couple Browning 50 Cals. on deck. Still getting the job done after...

    Stock-Forearm Fitting

    Well I'm a sucker for abuse. I've not done much wood work on any of my firearms but have decided to tackle getting some new wood onto one of my 1885 Winchesters. My question has to do with the ebony insert. I am assuming it is glued in place? If so what type of glue? TIA for any input

    TC Contender Fans?

    New to posting to the forum. Been lurking for a bit. Wondering how popular the Contender is among the members? I personally love them and will soon be adding to my collection. I'm blessed in that I have an uncle that's collected them all his life and have shot about every caliber they offer...
