    .177 Ammo Preference

    I just successfully bid on a RWS .177 Pellet 350 P Magnum on gunbroker.com. There seems to be a mixed bag on suggestions on the best pellet accuracy. I'll be using it strictly for paper punching. Anyone have any suggestions before I buy some pellets? Thx.

    Too Long Away

    I had not realized that is was almost three years to the day that I had not taken any of my rifles to the range until I checked by records. I remedied that today by getting a new range badge and starting out light with my Marlin 17VS and Ruger 10/22 RMB. The both shot as well as ever. I did not...

    New Stephen Hunter Book

    Well maybe not so new since it's been out since December 2011. This is not a Bob Lee Swagger story but gives us the long lost son of Swagger, Ray Cruz, who was introduced in Dead Zero. I've read all of the Swagger books and this one I do not think is up to par with some of the others (most...

    ROMANIAN 7.62X25 From Ammoman

    Has anyone tried any of the ROMANIAN 7.62X25 86 GRAIN FMJ BALL AMMO BRASS CASE AND BERDAN PRIMED from Ammoman in a CZ52 or TT33. It's a lot cheaper than the S&B but I'm hesitant since some of the Eastern block surplus is designed for sub machine guns like the SVT40 and has harder primers.

    I Landed in Baltimore But My Pistol Went to Newark

    My wife and I flew back from Fort Lauderdale to Maryland yesterday morning on AirTran. I checked my luggage at the ticket counter since I had to declare my Beretta Jetfire .25 ACP that I took with me (I have a Florida CCW). The garment bag with the pistol never made it to Baltimore. I filled...

    TT33 Info Requested

    The current issue of Shotgun News has a couple of ads for TT33 7.62x25 pistols. One is the Romanian model while the other is the Polish model. I would appreciate any into on how do the two compare and also any comparison to the CZ52.

    Another Lesson on Why Rule 1 Is Important

    Rule 1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. I was at the range yesterday with my three 32ACP's and was starting my second box of ammo with the Manurhin Walther PP. I loaded the magazines, inserted one of them, and when I chambered a round it fired (and NO I did not have my...

    My Rant Against Firearm Auction Sellers

    A few weeks ago I won an auction on Gunbroker.com for a French MAB Model D. The auction clearly stated that the seller would accept a C&R for it and in the initial email to me after I won the seller still said he would accept my C&R. Well that changed when the seller (a licensed FFL located...

    .41 MAG Redhawk Conversion

    A few years ago I picked up a .41 Mag Redhawk with a 7 1/2" barrel and a 2x Simmons scope. The rear sight blade was removed to fit the scope hight. The scope now needs replacing and rather than do that I'm considering getting the barrel shortened. I could send it back to Ruger to have them put...

    Do Not Pull Trigger to Check if Gun Is Not Loaded

    When I got to the range this morning with my .44 Mags (SRH & SBH) and .454 SRH I was told by the range officer that all handguns had to be kept pointing downrage at the bench rather than on the tables behind the benches. Apparently this past week an off duty LEO decided that after finishing...

    Winter Must Be Over

    With a clear sunny day and morning temps in the 50s I went to the outdoor range for the first time since early December of last year. Good thing I got there before 9:30 since by the time firing commenced at 10Am there was a waiting line which was still there when I left after 1PM. Haven't seen...

    Sign-in and Wait for Your Escort Please

    That's what happened to me this afternoon when I took my new NEF 204 Ruger, enclosed in case, to the local Dick's Sporting Goods store to have a scope mounted. As I was passing a cashier I was asked: Is that a rifle that you want to have scoped? When I replied in the affirmative I was asked...

    Great Ruger Service

    FedEx delivered my SBH (it was "spitting" really bad") to Ruger on 10/5. On 10/8 I received a postcard from Ruger confirming receipt and a couple of hours later the FedEx driver is at the door with the SBH. Ruger repaired the barrel, pawl, and ejector (& didn't charge anything). This is a...

    Remington Managed-Recoil Centerfire Rifle Ammunition

    I happened to be having my truck's oil changed this morning and picked up a copy of Outdoor Life that had an article on Remington's Managed-Recoil Centerfire Rifle Ammunition. I've been under a recoil restriction for the past four years due to a series of eye problems that limit my rifle...
