    Savage Trigger Question

    I had my savage 111 apart tonight and noticed something. The trigger has three set screws on it (pre accutrigger). One looks like it's adjustable for takeup, another for overtravel, and the third, I have no idea. Is this a standard Savage trigger? I bought the rifle used. Thanks. Ryan

    Accurate 3100

    I've been using AA 3100 for some rifle cartridges, and finally ran out. I bought a new can, and when openend, it smelled really bad (like toluene). Anyone know if the formula changed? It seems to work correctly (velocity, etc.). Ryan

    I'll never forget the sound....

    ...of bullets flying over my head. MN white tail season opened this weekend. About 4:30 yesterday afternoon, one shot fired, couldn't tell from where, and the unmistakable sound of a bullet flying about 30 feet over my head. A half hour later, another shot, this one flew over my cousin's...

    Range Pick Up Brass

    This is my favorite time of year. Deer hunting's right around the corner and everyone has their rifles at the range, and leaves their brass laying on the ground for me to pick up. About every other day, I come home with half a grocery bag full of mixed rifle brass. Friday I piced up 121...

    Hunting with Laser Cast Bullets

    I'm wondering if anyone has hunting experience with laser cast bullets. I'm loading some 240 grain SWC's for my Winchester '94 in .44 mag. The velocities are around 1700 fps and accuracy is very, very good. I'd be hunting white tail deer with no shot being longer than around 75 yards (heavy...

    Success, Finally, Sort Of

    I've been reloading for a long time, and usually have good success. However, every once in a while, I meet a rifle that confounds me. So is the story with my sporterized (numbers matching) Swede 6.5 X 55. I acquired this rifle in trade from a guy who desperately wanted to get rid of this...

    Anyone Ever Sold Anything to Gun Parts Corp?

    I came into a bunch of guns in various stages of operation (or inoperable, missing parts, etc.). Has anyone ever sold parts or entire guns to Gun Parts Corp? I'm curious how the transaction went, etc. Thanks. Ryan

    Taurus 44 Mag Snub Question

    Please help me remember. A while back, Taurus had a 5 shot .44 mag snub (I don't think it was a tracker). I handled one at a gun show and I really liked it, but didn't have the cash. It was stainless, 5 shot, 3" barrel and no compensator. Does anyone remember what model this was? I'd like...

    Remington 1100 Advice Needed

    I picked up a Remington 1100 magnum with a 3" magnum barrel (full choke) at a gun show very cheap because it "didn't work". After removing a lot of crud, it runs fine. Most of the hunting I do requires steel shot, which I believe I can't run through that barrel. Replacement barrels cost more...

    Question on two gun values

    Carbon 15

    Does anyone have an opinion on a Bushmaster Carbon 15 T21? A local shop has one NIB for around $650.00. I liked it, but wondered if anyone had any experience. Thanks. Ryan

    AR-15 Question

    I'm new to black rifles, and had a co-worker tell me about one his friend has for sale. All he could remember is it's an Oly Lower with an old style Colt Sp1 upper (he's not into guns). He said he was calling his friend to get more info tonight. I know it's not much info, but what's something...

    Randall Pistols

    Has anyone heard of or have experience with Randall pistols? My boss recently bought one from a co-worker that appears to be a well made 1911 style pistol (right handed). I hadn't heard of them and was wondering if anyone knew of any issues with them. Thanks. Ryan

    Gun Wallet

    Since MN finally passed CCW, an old question popped up. I have a NAA Mini .22 revolver that came with a wallet holster. Basically, you can put the gun into this square piece of leather and it can be tossed into a pocket. The gun can be fired from this holster. Someone told me that it is not...

    Minnesota Passes CCW Law

    I caught the last hour or so of the Senate debate on public television. Nothing makes me happier than an unhappy liberal, and there were lots of them yesterday. Woohoo!! http://www.startribune.com/stories/587/3852503.html Ryan

    What would you do? 1911 Question

    All those pretty pics of .45's finally spurred me into deciding the time was right to have some work done to a 1911 I have. I bought a blued series 70 Colt commander a number of years ago from a guy at work. I have fired it twice, cleaned it and it's been a safe queen since then. It came...
