Should the front sling swivel stud protrude through a wood stock and press on the barrel? I always thought you should be able to slide a dollar bill between the barrel and stock from muzzle back towards the action.

PA Requirements In PA you need a checkbook. Case closed! -=BDD=-

I carry a S&W 640 and won't change! First, you need to practice and then practice some more. Remember, if you pull the trigger and it doesn't go "bang", the drill is to pull the trigger again. Very simple and effective. There is no rack the slide, bang the magazine, rack the slide, shake the...

Most punks run! If you understand the basic concept of: Eyeball, rear sight, front sight, perp all in line, you will have no problem. If you want to look "cool" with the sights twisted towards the ground in "gansta" style, then spray and pray, followed by DIE. At the sight of a good 5-shot S&W...

I have a newer Winchester 70HV in 223 and was wondering if anyone knew what the twist rate was for this chambering in the factory heavy barrel. I know I can get out the cleaning rod and check it that way, but it is a lot easier if I can just type this on a forum with the great amount of...

I'm looking at a Win Model 70 Supergrade in 7mm Rem mag. The rifle is in 100% condition and I was told there were about 40 rounds through it. It has a Leopold Vari-X III 3.5 to 10 power scope on it. The serial number is G208XX. I think it is right around the time that Winchester was bought out...

Is there a trick to getting the bolt back into the receiver with the cartridge cutoff and ejector/ejector spring? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! -=BDD=-

Due to recent events, I was given a Model 12 that is in very bad shape. It wasn't hard to disassemble and attempt to clean, but I'm a bit confused as to proper reassembly sequence. If someone has a assembly/disassembly diagram and instructions, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. -=BDD=-

Slush fund for Ljutic Everybody needs at least one Ljutic also. If I sell this, the funds are going into my new Ljutic fund. I'll post some pictures later. -=BDD=-

I just inherited a M12, 12 g, 28" Mod, with at least 1 to 2 % of the finish remaining. The SN is 4017XX. Can anyone date this for me. It's just your basic drag through the woods hunting model, but curiosity has gotten the better of me. I guess I'll scrape the dead whatevers off it and throw it...

A friend just gave me a 336A in 35 Rem to look at. I cannot fully open the lever or close the lever and I would like to see a set of instructions for disassembly and any parts diagrams that are available for this rifle. Any info would be appreciated. -=BDD=-

How does one join the 642 club? I have a 640 that goes with me everywhere (except work - problem being that I would probably wear it out or only having 5 shots, I'd just spin in a circle!). I have been looking at the 642 just for the less weight factor. Either one is an excellent pistol. -=BDD=-

Thanks for the positive comments, but again, does anyone have any loading data for the mentioned powders? -=BDD=-

I just got back into trap and have shot a lot of the cheapo Walmart Field and Target loads (the 100 round pack). I've got a lot of empties that I'd like to reload once and pitch because of the separate base wad concerns I keep hearing about. I was wondering if anyone has a good 7/8 oz. or 1 oz...

Getting back into trapshooting after a long time and was looking for a decent reloader. I basically wore out a MEC 9000 long ago and didn't want to go that route again. Is anybody using/selling a RCBS Grand and what are your opinions? Or, should I go with the P/W 800+?
