I made a set of grips for mine. I ruined the first set, but the second set is decent. Every once in awhile I change something (remove a hotspot, change a contour, round an edge, etc.) so it is an ongoing project. Still coming from a piece of recycled eucalyptus log I think they are rather neat.

My Roughneck needed a good cleaning to get rid of all the grit from it's finish, in the end I disassembled it and rinsed it off with boiling water, dried it, and oiled it as I put it back together. Doing this made the trigger much nicer for me. I've heard others have used brake cleaner to...

Just a quick update: I ended up ordering $3 worth of piano wire and made a new spring myself. Hopefully I won't need to contact their CS anymore in the future but I'll give a phone call a try next time. I really hate how many manufacturers would rather have you ship the whole gun instead of...

Does anyone have any experience with Bond Arms CS? The rebound spring (they call it a "torsion spring") broke on my Roughneck last month, I contacted them through their website on 2/28 but never heard back from them. I reached out again last night and got an email back this morning: "That is...

I was disheartened to hear it when Taurus dropped their lifetime warranty (around the time they released the "new" G2C and G2S) for a limited 1 year warranty. I've had to use Taurus' warranty just once when I lost a detent for my PT-22's safety catch. First time (and only thankfully) was a...

I got into a discussion elsewhere about the legality of a muzzle loading recoilless rifle and have tried to read up on the pertinent laws. I feel like I'm missing something so I wanted your all's input on this. Would it be legal to construct and fire recoilless arm that: Is muzzle-loading...

Hello all, I picked up a Remington RM380 new in January. I've put ~300rnds through it and have found that it is rather picky about feeding steel cased ammunition. It will feed brass cases without an issue but it will either fail to feed or fail to go completely into battery every other round...

Three: Kel-Tec P3AT with a desantis pocket holster and on-gun belt clip (this gets carried the most) Taurus PT-111 G2 with either a belly band, paddle holster, or in a jacket pocket. Looking for a clip-draw for this one. Bersa Thunder 380 in a belt case or jacket pocket.

I've been considering getting another bolt action rifle for awhile now, I miss shooting my Turkish Mauser but 8mm Mauser ammo is too expensive to just plink with nowdays. I'm after a .223/5.56 rifle for low cost plinking with the option of hunting small-medium game if I ever get into that. I...

As per this article (the official link on the mossberg site is dead) http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/07/daniel-zimmerman/mossberg-adds-116000-sq-ft-capacity-space-texas-plant/ Mossberg claims 90% of their production happens at the Eagle Pass facility. I wonder if they are still using...

I'd go with 7 x .380acp. Recoil is lighter and more rounds on hand. Assuming roughly equal handgun sizes the 380 will be slimmer. If reloads are an option then you'll typically be faster with the 380 and carry more total ammo on your person too. While 357 is a powerful and proven cartridge...

Not sure about being shot but the Washington Post compiled some interesting information about the combined homicide/suicide rates of a number of nations, some with rather strict gun-control laws. Take a look yourself. Might also want to take a look at the TTAG article where I came...

Hello all, I'm looking for something a little easier to see in low light then the standard brass bead for my H&R PPP and am looking at some options from HiViz. Right now I'm trying to decide between a replacement fiberoptic bead (Spark III, SK2011) or a snap-on sight (MPB). The shotgun it'll...

I'm actually interested in it, provided the price is right and it does end up being reliable. When I first heard about the DoubleTap Defence derringer I sneered at it, especially when its MSRP was >$500. Now that I'm seeing a few online shops offering them for under $200 I've been mighty...

Being serious here, Try this in a Hi-Point C9. The similarities between the C9 and the CF380 are great enough that some people have speculated that the *only* mechanical differences between the two are the recoil spring and the chamber cut. If people have managed to get the .40 S&W Hi-Point...

Hello all, I know this has been asked a lot and looking through the threads there have been a number of answers (Use .451, use .454, measure your chamber mouths, measure your lands and groove, etc). My question is thus: I have measured the chambers on my revolvers and all of them appear...

Hello all, I am in the market for a ~$100 springer that put .177 pellets downrange at about 1000+fps. I came across refurbished Ruger Blackhawk Elites for $59.88 (free shipping) from cabela's, while my local walmart has Beeman Silver Kodiak K2 (two barrel) sets for $99.99. Does anyone...

Thanks for the responses guys. Now on to my other question, has anyone gotten to shoot or atleast handle a Kerr patent revolver personally? Or a Beaumont-Adams for that matter?

Some C&B and BP questions Hello all, Just recently ordered a Pietta 1851 "Confederate" .44 from Cabela's and have been reading up on loads and care for the pistol. This is my first BP firearm and I have a few questions that I haven't come across answers for. First, how much velocity is...
