    Springfield TRP slide problem

    maybe I don't understand you answer but after I removed the slide, if took out the barrel and still had the problem. I tried just my colt slide without the barrel and it went on fine. it looked like there was a 2 or 3 mil galling on the very back opening of the slide. It seemed to me that a...

    Russian 91/30 question

    I agree, buy as many as you can afford. with this surplus weapons once they are gone they seem to go crazy in price. the Nagant revolver last year sold for 99 now it is hard to find one for 250 and they are terrible revolvers. the 91 30 is a pretty decent rifle for what it was designed for...

    Best low-penetration home defense round for a 1911?

    Wow, everyone has an opinion and after reading all the reply's I still wonder if a 12g with a taser round is not the right choice at least for the first two then 00buckshot. Hopefully none of us will ever be in the situation where it makes a difference if we use hollow points, fmj, 180 gr 230...

    Springfield TRP slide problem

    Hi guys, had a problem today. Took my TRP out shooting last week and wanted to clean it today. I could not get the slide to come free. Pulled the recoil spring, pin, bushing but I had to whack the slide off with a rubber mallet. I tried more lube but had the same problem. It was tight and I...

    Nagants: are they gone forever?

    I read somewhere that the new PVRI ammo is loaded very weak. They referred to a much hotter load but I have been unable to find any more information about. It is a fun pistol with a horrible trigger but hey it turns the wrong way and the cylinder moves fore and aft. What more could you ask...

    Budget friendly bushcraft knife (elbow grease required)

    I really like simple knives. My favorite is the Schrade Pro Hunter 1 PH1 the only problem is you need to use a brass cleaner and make sure it is an old USA version not the Chinese one for obvious reasons. I paid 35 for my first one but now they are starting to get a little more expensive.

    Case seperation on a .303

    I reloaded some S&B brass for the first time and one of the cases separated when fired. I inspected the other S&B cases and they had no obvious faults. The load was a 150 grain Sierra bullet with 40 grains of Varget. This is by no means a max round so I am unsure what happened here. Is it...

    Best 9mm Pistol for Self Defense?

    These days most pistols are completely functional. It really does not matter which one you choose or what we all think. Go to a range that has the guns you are considering or get your buddies to loan you the ones on your list. Shoot each and see what feels best for you and what you hit best...

    Overwhelmed about 1903

    I am missing a 1903 from my collection. I like the WW rifles and have most of the majors but a 1903 is missing. I was at a gun show today and saw them priced from 1800 to 400 dollars. I just want a good shooting rifle that I can shoot a few times a year. My 303 is not the prettiest rifle but...

    Just bought a Sig556xi, need opinions.

    I have the 556 not sure what a xi is. one thing to be careful of is that it shoots out the brass about 2 feet back and 20 feet to the right. Really angered the guys at the range the first time I took it out. It positively ejects! Wonderful rifle, and although I don't want to anger the AR...

    Alexander arms 50 beowulf

    It took me about 14 months but I ordered right at the beginning of the gun fiasco. I ordered a Beowulf Upper and that was completed about 3 months before the Grendel Upper and Receiver. I did the shillen barrel on the Grendel and used the Mag Pul PRS stock along with the AA trigger. No...
