You following me around Steve?

I ran a box of 38 specials through the K77 today. It does everything I could ask of it with open sights. I am very happy with it so far with one exception. I had some feed issues a couple times. Not sure what was causing it but the base of the next shell in the mag would get hung on the second...

If burying is good, how about tossing in the pond out back?

I figured this was the best place to ask this one. Over the last couple years, I have had a number of rounds that failed to fire. Mostly 22lr but a couple 9mm and a few more 45ACP. I keep tossing them in a bag planning to dispose of them somehow eventually. What is the best way to make...

I don't know what he based his comment on. Maybe his experience with that gun or who knows what. I am not currently educated enough to know these things. I am learning though. That is also part of my reason for joining in here. Matt

New member, just joined primarily to look for help on a possible new rifle purchase. I am wanting a rifle with a little more behind it than my Ruger 10/22. My gun club only allows rifles in regular handgun calibers. I would like something to mostly target shoot at the 75-100 yd range for fun but...

Long time owner, first time poster. Pretty much always had a gun or two in the house but was never "into" guns. Kind of started getting more into it lately though. Half dozen hand guns in stock and a couple long guns. Joined here looking for better educated info on a possible new rifle...
