Considering (what appears to be) the increasing number of crimes against property should we, the general puplic demand the ability to protect our property? We constantly turn on the television news or open the papers to find out about the alarming amount of home invasions, burglaries...

Got to thinking of a conversation I had the other day with an acquantance who said he likes a "BIG" bang out his .357s and .44mags. He had a guy reload some, admittedly, hot loads for him and I asked him what the load was. He didn't know...trusted the reloader (bad,bad STUPID move) but...

I've decided to go to a gun show in Phoenix the middle of August and I've also decided to look into investing in an AR platform. I am looking at an flat top AR10or some other model in the platform of a .308. in a heavy bull barrel. I'm not that familiar with the AR platform and I'd like...

I am about to work up some precision accuracy rounds for my new Savage .22-250 and I'm interested in what everyone thinks is the best precision and standard dies on the market (and if anyone really thinks a precision die turns out better products than a standard die). I'm familiar with RCBS...

I've been pondering the idea of making (or, possibly in the end, only attempting to make :) ) custom grips for some of my pistols. But, to be honest, I have few ideas of where to start and/or how to go about the process. I've searched the internet for some ideas of sites or books on the...

Does anyone know if the bayonet lugs on M44 Mosin Nagants are easily removed? I have one that is of no redeeming value except to see if I can salvage the gun by sporterizing it (the stock is shot, there is little, if any, bluing on the metal, no numbers match, etc.). However, it has a pin...

Try as I may I am having a problem of getting decent copies of my C&R license to send it to vendors. The problem I'm having with my scanner copies is that the sections with the license number and the expiration date (you know...the ones with white lettering on black background) is barely...

An acquantance recently gave up reloading due to health reasons and I was given a 'boat load' of good quality commercially made cast 250 grain lead round nose flat point bullets for the .45 ACP. I found a recipe using them with Accurate #7 but I can't seem to find any recipes using them with...

Yesterday I got my copy of Numrich's catalog. It's a little over 1200 pages and packed full of gun parts and accessories and many for guns I've never heard of before. I wanted something for parts referrence to put in my workshop without having to go into the house and boot up the computer...

For cost and availability reasons I like using Remington bullets in my rifle plinkers. However, I find it very difficult finding load data about the Remington bullets. I've gone to their site many times and, unless the information is well hidden, I can't seem to find anything from their...

I came across something today I have never come across before. I ran across some once fired 8MM Mauser Sellor and Bellot brass and when I went to size them I noticed about every third one was either very, very hard going in the shell holder or wouldn't go in at all. The shell holder (RCBS...

I posted a 'fishing report' in the thread, below, regarding Kimber .45s and thought I'd start a new thread in hopes more people might see it. My question is: does anyone have any feed-back about the 'new' Sig 1911 styled .45ACP? I can't find out much about it other than off of Sig's web...

Below I am adding a link if anyone would like to send a Christmas 'card' to a member of our armed forces overseas. As you will read, and for security reasons, you cannot send the card to any one particular person but the Chaplains will distribute the cards as they see fit. You can 'sign'...

introduce myself. I'm Alan and I hail from Arizona (go D'backs!). Like all of you folk I enjoy all aspects of firearms. I collect, primarily, the older military guns like the 1903A3, Swede M96, Mosin Nagants, mausers such as the Yugo M48 and Turkish, SKS, AKs, Steyr M96, Schmidt Rubin...
