Went to the range with some .45 ACP reloads yesterday. No problems to speak of...all but one fired - 50 rounds or so. All on the paper, no flyers - other than me jerking the trigger. First picture shows 9 cases fired from my Springfield Armory 1911 Champion on the left and 19 cased fired with...

The Minnesota National Guard Armory in Mankato, MN was recently robbed, and a large number of antique firearms were taken - reportedly worth up to $1,000,000.

A friend bought a bunch of Garand parts from an estate. This was in it but its no Garand part I've ever seen. Its marked on the bottom " REM 721" I'm sure someone out there must know.

I'm not sure if this is the right location for this thread. Moderator - relocate it as you see fit. I'm considering applying for an FFL. I'd like to get feedback from members who've done it and passed, or failed, would never do it again, happy they did or tried, etc. What are your...

to be clear I'm a newbie to competition shooting - not shooting in general. I have a "small arsenal" (wife's term, not mine) at home - a mere 14 firearms - a good mixture of shotguns, rifles and a pistol - most for hunting. In the service I had a lot of fun shooting at 500 & 1000 M with the...

First a note: I'm getting ready to load my first rounds - I'm a newbie. The brass is cleaned, trimmed, all within specs, primed. I've set 4 bullets to just below the O.A.L. in blank brass and hand cycled them through my 1911. All is good so far. I have 230 gr FMJ and I have a good...

I'd like to clean up the pictured revolver. I've been told it may enhance its value. Its a Manhattan Navy Revolver, Series IV, .36 cal. Though it looks bad all the parts operate. I really want to clean it up for show, not necessarily for sale. A friend suggested soap & water, then a soft...

I've looked at Winchester's .30 Cal (.308) 147 gr FMJBT on a few sites that sell them (Midway USA for one). The guys who shoot them love them and they're reasonably priced. But I can't find load data for this specific bullet. I've been to Winchester's site - nothing there I saw. I followed a...

I may have gotten a pricey lesson this past weekend. Went to a local gun show, found a guy selling 500 count of 147 gr., .308 M80 ball. He said it was "new Lake City production" - but there was nothing saying "Lake City" on the package. Just "147 gr., .308 Cal. M80 Ball". I had a couple M2...

And I've learned a few lessons: 1. No...you can't use just any factory .30-06 ammo in this beautiful firerarm like the guy who sold it to me said. (I just removed the blown shell casing from the chamber - thank you Brownell for any easy-to-use extractor) 2. Finding the right ammo is...
