I have a buddy who is looking for a range to shoot a 50 BMG near New Bern, NC. Anyone know of one? He is planning on going there in the spring and has some friends that want to try out his 50. Thanks.

I went to UPS today to ship a gun barrel back to the manufacturer for warranty work. When asked if the barrel was for a gun, I said that it was. Then, I was asked if it has a serial number. I told her that if it did, I would have shipped it through my FFL. She then pulled out a new policy she...

I had a buddy of mine contact me about some ammo that a friend of his had, so I worked out a trade, and now I'm trying to ID the ammo, which I believe all of it is milsurp. What I traded was 140 rounds (4 boxes of Wolf and 3 boxes of Tula) 7.62x39 for a loose bag of 122 rounds of brass-case...

I just finished reloading 500 45 acp, 400 9mm, and 100 55 mag this weekend on a single-stage press and it was a fairly significant time commitment. I don't reload very often, but the times I reload more than 200 rounds at a time, I wish I could go a little faster. I think I may reload more often...

I haven't reloaded in a few years since my other hobbies have taken over my life, but I am wanting to reload some 38 Spl. I ordered some 125 gr Rainier flat-nose and want to use Winchester #231 powder for them. Naturally, my Speer #13 manual doesn't seem to help. The only 125 gr bullet loads...

I was away during the weekend and, after a search, didn't see this posted anywhere, so....... http://www.greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006606160325 This pawn shop is about 3-4 miles form my house and I used to try to go in there at least once a month. Mr Bruin was a very...

Today is the second anniversary for Missashot and myself. We couldn't remember what gift is proper etiquette for the second anniversary, so we just decided to exchange .357 magnums. :D

I went to a buddy's bike shop last week to pick up some parts and wound up leaving with a Czech Mauser, too (the shop owner is a fellow firearms enthusiast). I don't know much about it, other than it is a Czech V24? Interestingly, there are absolutely no importer markings on the rifle, at all...

I walked into a pawn shop, yesterday, and saw two SKS rifles on the wall. One was a Yugo 59/66, but the other one wasn't, so I was curious about what it was. Turned out to be a Norinco for $219. I know these go for a bit more, so I decide to look it over. Doing operations checks, I am alerted...

Ran across this deal, but for JHP, earlier in the week, but they showed that they were out of stock right after I made my order, so I didn't post about them. Looks like they got some JSP in to replace the JHP. Just wanted to share this with my fellow Highroaders..... 1000 Speer 240 gr JSP 44...

I passed up the opportunity to buy M1 Garands at $219 each when they were reimporting them into the USA in the early '90s, and still don't own one, but I've been seriously thinking about the M1A and M14 rifles for a while. On a whim visit to a local pawn shop, I ran across a Polytech M14S that...

I attempted my first reloads of 44 mag and ran into an issue that I can't find addressed anywhere in my manuals or in searches on the THR. What is happening is that I'm getting a really fine shaving of the case at the opening when I roll crimp the bullets in. I am using Remington once-fired...

I broke down and ordered a Shooting Chrony F-1 last week, and it arrived yesterday. I was hoping to use it tomorrow evening at the indoor range that I go to, so I can check some 45ACP and 38 Spl ammo that I have relaoded. The instructions say that flourescent lighting will often confuse the...

I've done some searching and am having a difficult time finding anything for a 38 Special load when using jacketed 158 gr bullets (most charges I've been reading for 158 gr bullets are for lead SWC). I am getting ready to load some JHP, 158 gr JHP bullets for 38 and 357 and am looking for a sub-...

With some research and help from THR members, my wife (Missashot) and I loaded our first 100 rounds of 45ACP and shot them this evening. We used once-fired Winchester brass, Winchester primers, Rainer 230 gr copper-plated bullets, and Winchester #231 powder. We loaded the ammo with 5.4 gr of...

I figure I'd post this here, as all guns can develop with this issue.... I have a S&W 617 revolver that I shot about 200-250 rounds of Winchester X-pert, lead-nose ammo through it because I can't seem to find the Dynapoints. It functioned fine and shot well, but.....a couple of weeks after...

It doesn't look like my wife (Missashot) will post about it, so I'm going to..... Last night we were messing with the reloader. Just de-capping, resizing, and re-priming the cases. Well, after we got the hang of it, SHE sent ME to the grocery store for some munchies while she worked over the...

Wondering if someone can help me out here. I recently picked up a Colt XSE LW Commander and really like the gun, but I don't particularly like the reddish rosewood grips. I saw some used Kimber black rubber grips on eBay the other week that looked just like them, but I failed to pursue the...

I don't know what I did......I don't know how it happened......I just know the end result...... Yesterday, my wife, Missashot, obtained these three beauties....for HERSELF!!! :banghead: :D
