Just picked up this jaeger rifle on gunbroker for an absolute steal. The Ad said its was from the mid to late 1800's and I see no reason to doubt that, but please correct me if I am mistaken. The barrel is lightly rusted throughout, but the rifling is strong. It looks like it does one full twist...

Didnt see many reviews for these around so I figured Id post my own. As usual YMMV JMHO ETC.... First off I ordered their 7.5" pistol kit with a stainless barrel (1/7). The kit came with everything, including the sig brace and buffer assembly, minus the BCG and charging handle. The quad rail...

Picked up this flintlock pistol recently and I do not know much about it. There are no barrel proof marks and only one stamp on the lock so far. What I know so far: Miquelet lock, .62 cal (ish), square pins for barrel and ramrod channel, mostly appears old and surprising light weight wood is...

Took the replica dragoon pistol out to the range with my brother. Despite the rain we had a blast! He is now addicted to black powder. Figured I'd share the slow motion goodness.

I did some shooting on some private land this weekend and brought the slow motion camera. None of this was really for accuracy, it was just to see mag dumps at 400fps :cool: For reference each clip chunk was only about 4 seconds real time. In order: AR15, LR308, PTR-91, myself and my lr308 vs...

Took my Nikon J1 out to the range today to play with its slow-motion capabilities and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't a very expensive camera so the resolution isnt top notch but it was good enough to notice interesting things. After reviewing the footage I noticed alot of things that...

Okay, im fairly new to BP but I spotted a tower .69 pistol at a garage sale for $50 and took a chance. Cleaned it, inspected it, and put a few rounds down range :cool: But the frizzen doesnt close all the way and there is no spring tension on it when it is closed. I dont feel like investing any...

So I got to take my new Wulf out to the range today. Shoot Straight in Fort Meyers, great place. I bought a New Frontier polymer AR lower, I questioned wether or not it would hold up to the recoil of the big bad wulf, but for $150 for a completed lower with stock I wouldn't be out much if it...

Anybody know of a good place to hog hunt in SW florida? Either public without quota permit or preferably be able to refer me to a land owner. Thanks in advance

I rarely blab, but it was such a good day I had to share... First off... work cancelled for the day, then finally got my wife and sister in law to go to the range. Upon arrival back to my apartment I saw the package I had been waiting for... my 50 Beowulf upper :cool: . I was so excited I...

I understand for a private sale in FL you need to be a resident to purchase, but what about to sell? Example: I am on extended vacation and need some extra money... can I, a non resident, sell to a FL resident?

I had an interesting experience at the range today. After testing out some new additions to my 1911 :cool: I got to talking 2A rights with 2 other guys there. When the oppositions views came into the talk I said "Well I dont agree, but I can see how they think that way..." Before I could even...

Ok, before the pitch forks and torches come hear me out on this.... I have a Heritage Arms 357 magnum taking up space in the gun safe, and I was thinking about making it into a new project...Tacticool revolver! List of wants: Top rail Bottom rail New grips, like the "tactical" (i.e. tear your...

A while back ago I was here seeking some wisdom on a 45 acp 255gr load, and well... I got it! Just figured I'd share. 255gr cast Lee 452-255 sized to .452 4.5 grs Unique OAL 1.137 A bit short, but the leade on my SA 1911 is nearly non existent. got about 775fps

As much as we hate to admit it, most of us have a romantic bone in our bodies somewhere. So whats the most interesting/funny/fail that you have dpne romanticly with firearms? Ill start off. Too my wife while i was reloading some 45

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Just dug this out of the basement, anyone know what its worth? Obviously a toy but i believe it has some collecters value

Id like to say that first off i am new to reloading handgun... With that said I'm trying to load some 255 gr cast bullets for 45 ACP and i cant get them up to an OAL of 1.200. Every time I load them I can push them to 1.143 with my fingers. I know that with this load that OAL is a huge factor...

I searched the forums but could not find anything on this... I just got a new SA 1911 loaded and when I chamber anything that is considered self defense ammo the slide sticks shut. examples being Hydrashocks, Buffalobore hardcast, and Hornady xtp. there is marring on the bullets like it is...

Dear THR, i have recently injured my dominant shooting hand to the point where i can not shoot with it for a few weeks. I still wish to carry and i am profient enough with my left hand while shooting but am unable to manipluate the safety now with only one hand. I am not a fan of carrying with...

ok guys I could use a little help/advise. This weekend my grandfather and I will be shooting his WW2 Luger. It hasn't been fired in over a 2 decades but has been maintained in mint condition (at least from what I can see). So what I am getting at is this: 1: are your standard off the self...
