    If you could have any 20 guns

    Everyone always brings up a thread of "if you could only have one" threads. For something different for a change if you could have 20 guns (or even more) what would you want or have?

    Let's see your non-blued S&W's!!

    As much as I like blue revolvers I like stainless and nickel just as much and they are more practical. On top, 624 .44 Spl with 6.5" barrel. Bottom 629-1 .44 Mag with 6" barrel.

    Sights for a Win 94

    I have an old Win 94 that was acquired from a mounted Police unit near where I live. It's kind of a unique gun because it has a steel butt plate and other things you wouldn't expect on a 1966 model. It does have one problem though. Something happened to the rear sight and it was relocated on...

    Browning Bolt Action

    You never seem to hear much about their rifles and I'm curious why? Been thinking of a new one and may consider Browning if I hear good about them.

    Pulling Bullets

    Is there a faster and easier way of pulling bullets then using a kinetic bullet puller? I have a good quantity of rifle bullets I want to recycle and wondered what other method I could use.

    Browning superposed

    While in the LGS today I noticed an older Browning on the used rack. Seems in decent shape, 30" barrels but no screw in chokes. The clerk said its from the 1950s. Told me it can be adapted to screw in chokes. Seemed solid to me. They want $899 for it. Can it be adapted to screw in chokes...

    Date of Manufacture

    I have a Winchester Stealth that I purchased a number of years ago when I heard Winchester was closing the plant. It's been a great rifle, my most accurate actually. I've wondered when it was made but can't find any data for model 70's made in the 2000 time frame. Anybody know where to...

    O/U for Trap/Skeet

    It's time for me to start getting more into the above and I need opinions on shotguns. I'm thinking of either a Browning or Beretta O/U. But there are a lot to choose from. So, I'm looking for suggestions. It has to have the ability of changing chokes but what features do I want and what...

    CCW Jacket

    For several years I've had a Sigtac coat for carrying, looked like a Carhartt. Well, it is pretty beat up at this point and it's time for something new. What's a good coat for a replacement? That Sig was tops.

    What Gun Would You Pick?

    Back in 2005 I bought a Ruger Red Label All Weather O/U. Now 12 years later the shotgun needs to go back to Ruger for repair. The Service Rep told me they not have parts to fix the gun as they no longer make shotguns. He mentioned that if this is the case they will offer me a gun at a...

    Old 22 Rim Fires

    What's all the interest in the old 22 rim fires? I was surprised about the Nylon 66 prices and Marlin 60's. I still have a Marlin 60 from 1972 that I bought off a neighbor. Actually has a squirrel engraved in the stock from the factory. Also have a Nylon 77c from about 1980...

    1968 Marlin 336RC

    I have inherited the above rifle in .35 Remington. Ammo is very hard to come by so I guess I'll be reloading this rifle. Does anyone know if this rifle will have micro groove rifling? Don't think I'll load lead but I don't want to rule it out.

    Dillon RL1050

    I've owned one of the older RL1050's for quite a few years. I just don't shoot pistols that much anymore so was thinking of selling it. I don't think I've used it in the last 8 years, it just sits on the reloading bench. Anyone got an idea what this thing is worth? It's not a Super 1050...

    .223 Rem and 75 gr Hornady HP

    Trying to find a load for my Colt LE6920 that duplicates the Hornady Superformance. So far I tried CFE 223 but couldn't get within 200 fps of the factory ammo. The loads actually felt wimpy but I can't find any data for the Hornady and the mentioned powder. I managed 2500 fps with 25.0...

    Dies for .223 AR

    What dies are you using? For the past couple years I've been trying a set of RCBS dies that I purchased. They work fine on bolt action rifles but give me fits for AR loading. For Some reason they aren't being sized correctly for an AR chamber and stick without chambering. I've...

    Powders are back in stock

    Managed to find powder today locally. I saw lots of powders in 1 lb cans. There wasn't a lot of 8 lb cannisters but I managed to pick up everything I needed. But I'm not sold on Varget, that was $30 a lb while all others were $22 to $24. I may use something else in the future instead...

    How does wood compare to a synthetic stock when it comes to accuracy? And are some synthetics better than others?
