    +P in a Cobra?

    Well folks, I'm not one to disregard a consensus opinion, so I will pass on the +P loads. I just recently came to own this little gun and it came with some cartridges, but I'm not sure what they are beyond the manufacturer. A local gun shop owner has recommended Federal Classic 138gr lead round...

    +P in a Cobra?

    I have a Colt Cobra Lightweight .38, 1960 manufacture. Is this gun suitable for +P loads or should I stick with standard .38 factory rounds?

    Stock Saiga

    Last August I bought a Saiga .223 with the intention of converting it to a typical AK style. Even started to acquire some parts to do so, a Tapco G2 trigger kit. In all honesty however, I'm pretty fond of it in the Sporter style. I didn't expect that! The 10 round mag is sufficient for my needs...

    Whats your best gun purchase deal for 2012?

    No brainer for me! In a nutshell, a complete stranger, who had heard I was a "gun guy", got up with me where I worked and gave me two rifles, absolutely free, because his wife wanted them "out of the house". Said, "If you would take these off my hands, I'd appreciate it." :eek: One was a...

    Herter's J9 stock re-finish done!

    If you are old enough to remember the original Herter's out of Weseca, Minnesota, well, you're no pup. Herters was like Sear's, nothing they sold was actually made by them, and they sold all manner of sporting goods, from leghold traps, to waterfowl decoys, to snowmobiles, reloading...

    Checkering/Stock re-finish glitch

    I am re-finishing the stock on a commercial Mauser bolt action. The finish was a dog to remove, strippers didn't work well, so I ended up using a card scraper on most of it. In the checkering on the postol grip, te finish and stripper have left a "stain" so to speak. Thats gotta go. I see...

    Taurus Tracker 22/22wmr (922)

    I had a 922 Tracker with 6 inch barrel. Very accurate. Needed service after about 300 rounds, the firing pin spring collapsed, so the cylinder would only advance if you tipped the muzzle straight up. Maybe I'm overly intolerant, but I sold it. 6 week turnaround on the repair, and the fact...

    Nylon 66 Question

    There are two aspects to "taking apart" a Nylon 66. If yo want to completely tear it down, its misery. If you let the striker block come forward(ie by pulling the trigger) its a headache as well. BUT, if you make sure the gun is cocked , and stays cocked, it's a simple matter to pull...

    Khyber Pass rifle?

    Recently picked up this old wall hanger....... I know very little about it aside from the fact that it appears to be a "Khyber Pass" rifle, a copy of the Martini-Henry. I believe this model might be a Calvary Carbine model? Note the stamping on the receiver is reversed!! Is this...

    Stock caps removal

    I am in the processing of re-doing a commercial Mauser rifle from the 1960's. I can live with the Monte Carlo style stock, but the dreadful fore-end cap and pistol grip cap have to go. The fore-end may just get shaped, or I may add another cap of a dis-similar wood, and the same can be said of...

    Trigger for Herters J9

    I recently acquired a Herters J9 rifle in .308. It was actually built in Yugoslavia, I believe by Zastava. The trigger leaves a lot to be desired and I'd like to replace it with a fully adjustable unit. I cannot however seem to find a correct replacement. Any help or advice would be much...

    Why so few retail outlets for supplies?

    I live in roughly the center of North Carolina. Within 10 miles of my house are two of the best gun stores you could ask for as far as selection and prices go for both new and used guns. If I'm willing to drive a few more miles, there are several more. However, when it comes to reloading...

    An accurate .22lr

    The CZ is the hot ticket. As far as not being made in America, that does not bother me in the least. If it was made in Iran, now that would make a difference, but the Czech's are not our enemy and I don't think theres an American company that makes a better .22, or most any other gun for that...
