feeding issues... I currently use a Ruger Mark II (stainless competition target lower) with a Tactical Solution forged aluminum upper as a rimfire Bullseye gun. I have had trouble with some hollow point ammo getting caught up on the bottom of the feedramp (built to Ruger specs), as well as...

Tactical Solutions After handling their products at this years SHOT show, I was impressed enough to pick up a new upper for my Ruger Mark II. It took a little fitting (tight), but has been near flawless in performance (ammo failures not withstanding). Currently I am using it as a backup...

Bullseye... and if you haven't already read this: http://www.bullseyepistol.com/ enjoy. As for a .45, several custom guns wil do the job, or the best of the current factory offerings are: http://www.rockriverarms.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=PS2100&storeid=1&image=pbew.gif and...

Maxfire...Not!!! jad0110- to be honest, I took that pic just after I got the gun (used). The moonclips and Maxfires came with it and I had yet to use them. If I had tried using them first, I never would have had them in the photo. As of now they sit in the bottom of a spare parts bin. I was...

Neat rifle. A sporter to be sure, cheaper than an AR-15, somewhat less capable (and far less industry supported). Armalite could have done a whole lot better with just a little more effort, but chose instead not to compete with their own AR-15 sales. That being said, if you can find one...

S&W PC 627 .357 "8 Times" My favorite wheelgun (currently...) -LeadPumper

Super Sniper... Been using a SWFA Super Sniper 10X42 30mm side focus (got on an Arfcom group buy last year) on a Savage 10fp in .308. (168gr Federal Gold Match) http://www.swfa.com/c-231-super-sniper-rifle-scopes.aspx So far I have been extremely happy with the scope (it replaced a...

Is that a water filter in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? Filters are not the same as purifiers, each have their uses. Link to U.S. Army Water Treatment study.http://usachppm.apgea.army.mil/WPD/TreatmentTechnologies.aspx Drink safe, -LeadPumper

586 goodness... I've got a soft spot for the 586 6" model, it's what I learned on, and the first handgun I got from my Dad. It's a first run model no dash that went back to the factory for the crane upgrade and has the factory 'M' stamp. I used to have a scope on it for 25 yard paper...

.22 are Great!!! Some people (mostly the macho guy types) just can't be bothered with the lowly .22. I guess it just seems so, un-manly. Of course these are the same fellows who demand a 'forty' for their first shots and won't settle for less. Even after classroom training (and showing they...

eight shooter... Another happy 627 owner here. Bought this one used and has become my favorite .357. -LeadPumper

9mm Tooooo much... Being an NRA instructor has been an eye-opener in many ways. The misconceptions, inaccuracies, and outright lies out there about the capabilities and performance of all types of firearms and ammunition is both laughable and scary. I have indeed had students that could not...

Norton- all you need is an FFL, any FFL will do. Including the $30 for three-year collectors C&R license. (I just use my buddy cause he has more money than me ;) ) Ya'll shoot some fer me... -LeadPumper

SHOT show Buddy of mine works for a good FFL, I tag along as "Vice President of Marketing". Been to Vegas twice, this will be my first year in Orlando, next year back to Vegas (what a drag...:D ) The stories and photos don't even come close to doing the show justice. And all the people...

Been too long... ...since we had a shoot. Too bad about the date though. I'll be at the SHOT show in Orlando that weekend. Still, hope everyone has a blast! -LeadPumper
