    Truncated Cone Ammo good for lever actions?

    Hello, I have seen claims from time to time about being careful about pointed ammo in tubular magazines (i.e., for a lever action). I was looking at grabbing some Fiocchi .357 truncated FMJ. Any potential trouble here?

    Grease, ammo cans, and ammo

    I get a little particular about ammo. Though I have no evidence at all that the silicone residue contacted any ammo at all (the Ammos in boxes in the cans, and the residue was only visible spreading a half inch from the top of the can) I still got worried about the ammo. It should all be good...

    Grease, ammo cans, and ammo

    Howdy. For ammo storage, I use silicone grease on the seal of the ammo can. Some ammo cans I'll leave sealed before checking every few months. The other day I noticed some residue from the slight amount of grease I use tracking about a half inch down the wall of the can. I got to...

    3" barreled LCRx: anybody handled one?

    If they do it in .357 (for the added strength), I'll be interested.

    10/22: How durable is the takedown screwhole

    Hello -- the take down screw hole on the 10/22 (that attaches the stock to the gun assembly) -- how durable is it? After repeated disassemblies, has anyone managed to strip it? Would a titanium screw be kinder to the hole threads than the stock steel one?

    Scoped Revolver: Talk to me.

    Thanks all! I'll likely move away from the idea and just grab another scoped rifle, 10/22 or 77/357

    Reasonable 1x Red Dot with etched reticle backup?

    For a handgun? Anyone have any experience? Looking for something with a battery-free option as a backup.

    Scoped Revolver: Talk to me.

    I keep to 357/38 caliber across my firearms. I have revolvers & a lever. Considering that, I was thinking about adding a scoped GP100 (6") to the mix, especially with my rougher eyesight. For those who have opinions about adding a scope to a revolver, pro or con -- talk me in or out of...

    GP100 Owners: Help me out real quick.

    Ended up hitting the the LGS to check another GP100 (that I'm also considering picking up). Same click. All's good.

    Any recent Ruger 77/357 reviews?

    I wanted one, and somehow my LGS had one in stock. Handled it. Worked the action. I have a lever in 357 as well. I ended up putting it back. I think I'd rather have a 6" revolver.

    GP100 Owners: Help me out real quick.

    About halfway through as you let the hammer down?

    GP100 Owners: Help me out real quick.

    What I've found is that if the strut (which is seated correctly) is place fully forward on the rests (i.e., on the rest closest to the barrel) in the frame, it makes the noise. Fully backward, it doesn't. There is plenty of give. I asked the same question over at RugerForum.net and everyone...

    GP100 Owners: Help me out real quick.

    Hello, quick question. I recently disassembled and reassembled my GP100. In checking for functionality upon reassembly, all appears to be well. One thing I noticed that I don't recall from before (but, of course, probably just didn't notice before): When you put the revolver into...

    Finally brought home a SP101

    I recently grabbed one too. You certainly destroyed me on price.

    Gun Maintenance: That Brown/Black Oil...

    Checking back in: I disassembled the GP100 and ran gun scrubber through the component parts. Using a Keyboard cleaner (compressed air), everything dried really quickly. With trace amounts of hoppes oil, I relubed everything I could. Reassembled. Good to go, it seems. One note: I highly...

    Gun Maintenance: That Brown/Black Oil...

    Wait, now that my memory serves me correctly -- for a GP100 especially, there is no screw besides the grip screw that requires removal for basic disassembly. There's no harm to a firearm just for pulling the pieces apart, correct? I'm not abusing any threads/screws or anything.

    Gun Maintenance: That Brown/Black Oil...

    It's not unheard of to see me spending 2 hours cleaning a gun. I'm trying to clean the inside w/o disassembly, is all.

    Gun Maintenance: That Brown/Black Oil...

    I grabbed two cans of Gun Scrubber and two canned compressed airs. I'll try it on the GP, if I like it I'l work it on the SP101.

    Gun Maintenance: That Brown/Black Oil...

    Thanks all. I have taken the revolver apart once (wanted to make sure I could do it), but I agree that I don't want to again for wear and tear purposes. This additional method will be an interesting try. Thanks.

    Gun Maintenance: That Brown/Black Oil...

    Ok -- I'm going to give this a try. Revolvers have few openings. I assume you try and aim scrubber / air into any possible crevice you can? Any places you shouldn't? Opening at the end (when the hammer is cocked?) Opening by the firing pin Opening (very tight) by the cylinder arm Opening at...
