I've got a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 set up with iron sights. I've zero'd the rifle to the Leverevolution 325 grain load but I'd like to handload some lead bullets for practice without having a huge difference in point of impact. While I realize that the Leverevolution ammo has a sleek copper...

So I've heard references to a conversion kit for side by shotguns that allow a 12g to be converted into a 45-70. In particular I've seen some 30-30 barrels that are threaded at the muzzle so that they can fit like a barrel liner in a 12g coach gun. I realize that this won't make an African...

http://eaacorp.com/zastava-ez-description.html It looks like a Sig Sauer P220, well sort of. I'm wondering what you folks know about it? Thanks for any insights!

I really like the concept of a double rifle however I can't afford one. I could do without fine wood or engraving however the only current maker I know of is the Izmash over unders imported in Remington's "Spartan" line. Do any of you know of other options? Thanks in advance.

A couple of weeks ago I posted with a question about why nearly all modern bolt actions are cock on open which was answered handily. Apparently the sear on cock on close actions is huge and not conducive to nice trigger pulls. My follow up question here is why on a right handed action is...

So this one's been puzzling me for some time. Why is it that the vast majority of bolt actions are configured as cock on open? There are only two bolt actions that I can think of that are cock on close; the Enfield and one of the earlier Mausers. The Enfields that I've played with were...

First off, I know what it's like to experience parallax as well as how to correct it. What I don't fully comprehend is what is causing it. Focus makes sense because you're adjusting the distance between lenses which corresponds to the focal length. I'm guessing it has something to do with...

I was just wondering if there was such a thing? I've never fooled with revolving rifles but since they resemble SAA army's that out grew their pants, I figured they were probably single actions. I wonder specifically if in this age of tacticool where FN markets a handgun with "double strike"...

Many months ago I posted a request for help getting my Savage 10FP - LE2 to extract/eject properly. Sadly nobody else seemed to have similar problems. I had taken it to a gunsmith who replaced the ejector spring and ejector which helped but didn't cure the problem. At a loss I consulted...

http://www.charterfirearms.com/products/Charter_Undercover_Southpaw.html Makes me hope they'll make a lefty version of the Bulldog which would be a perfect counterpart to my Taurus 445! As silly as it sounds I'd love to have a matched set of guns with the left side being entirely southpaw...

I've got a Taurus 445 w/a 2" barrel and bobbed hammer. I'd like to carry it in an ankle rig but I haven't found any options. I have an OWB holster for it that utterly sucks as well as an IWB holster for it that also sucks. My hope is that the ankle rig will be secure and comfortable. Thanks...

So I've just read Scott A. Duff's book on the M1A. There are a few things I've learned about them that lead me to be very dissapointed with it as a whole. Please note that I am drawing the following from that singular reference. 1) The gun wasn't designed to prevent slamfires. (The SKS has...

So does anybody know for sure what the twist rate is on the Mosin Nagant? A quick follow up question would be what is the twist rate on the SKS and AK series? A cursory check seems to indicate that the SKS and AK have slightly different specs for twist rates which is odd considering they...

So enquiring minds want to know if anyone markets a less leathal rubber buckshot load (12G) that have been coated with O.C. (Pepper spray) to add some heat to deter pests? I'M NOT ASKING FOR SELF DEFENSE / HOME DEFENSE so please don't rag on me for that. Just seems like a good idea that...

I've been reading up on ballistic coefficient as it relates to long range (1000yd) shooting. Thus far I've come to understand that bullets with higher B.C.'s equate to streamlined bullets that drop and drift less than bullets with lower B.C's. So far so good, now I look into the history of...

Please spare me the "pull the trigger" bit! I'm curious how the extremely odd looking SKS trigger group actually functions. If anyone could provide a link / photo to illustrate it I'd really appreciate it. As an add on request I'd love it if anybody knew how to smooth up the pull to...

In Jeff Coopers book "The Art of the Rifle" there is a photo and caption about a unique spare ammunition carrier that is inletted into the buttstock of a rifle. What is particularly cool about it is that it has a sliding cover which allows the shooter to selectively drop one cartridge out at a...

So I'd like some recomendations for a shoulder holster that holds the bore axis vertical. I hate shoulder holsters that have a loop on the holster side and a strap running over the off hand shoulder. The Galco "Miami classic" sort of harness is what I'm looking for. The gun I'd like to...

So some rifles have an undeniable personality, some have have character, what I really admire is a rifle that seems to evoke a soulfull response. My vote would start with a Winchester High Wall, then it would go to an old Marlin in 45-70. Let the list commence!

So my Savage 10FP-LE2 was having problems extracting/ejecting. The case would extract to within 1/4" of the ejection port at which point the case would slip free of the extractor hook and the case would fall back into the bolt way. I dissassembled the bolt, removed the extractor and lightly...
