Primer Availability Valley Guns 2 in Inwood,WV had about 3 or 4 shelves full when I bought some a couple of weeks ago. They have a website just google them.

Can someone out there tell me how to disassemble a P95 Ruger so that i may give it a proper cleaning? The gun is my daughters and the manual is gone and I have never owned a semi auto pistol so I have no experience with one. Any help you folks can give me will be much appreciated. Thanks, Mthom

Gunzilla CLP, All natural and it works very well for me.

The stock has already been sanded to finish stage so stripper wouldn't help now or would it?

I am refinishing a stock on an old CVA kit gun. I had to reshape the stock to fit the buttplate removing a fair amount of wood to do so. The problem is there is a good bit of shaded wood on the rest of the gun due to the previous stain used. I don't dare sand any more on these areas so is there...

I would like to know specifically rate of twist but any other info on this gun would be appreciated. BTW, the...

BlackMag3 is available now but you will pay 40.00 per lb. for it. I know because I met Craig Sanborn of MDM at the Eastern Outdoor Show in Harrisburg,Pa. and he was selling it there for that very price. I have been using it for the past couple of years and I really like it, but that's getting...
