    Busted Front Trigger on Astra SxS

    I recently bought an Astra Imperial boxlock 12 gauge. The front trigger felt a bit spongy, but seemed to work fine and everything else looks great about the gun. Turns out, something more than sponginess was going on, because now the front trigger won't engage the firing pin. What could this be...

    .500/.416 Nitro Express- What's The Scoop?

    I've been doing a lot of looking around at the fine doubles. I know I shouldn't, because I can't even afford the rag to mop up the drool these pieces seem to drive from mouth. Anyhow, I was looking at the cartridge lineup of the Blaser S2, and I noticed one cartridge I knew absolutely nothing...

    Old Rifles and the People Who Shoot Them

    Now, I may not own a huge gun collection, but I plan on purchasing plenty more boomsticks before I get old. But, I see a trend going on where the hunting rifles of tomorrow will be AR15's and tactical super magnums, all of them made of plastic and aluminum. I like tradition. Does anyone here...

    Funny Signatures? Some Show Off!

    I have no idea if this is the best place to put this, but since there is no off topic section, and there seems to be no place to celebrate amusing signature awareness, I'll post here. Got a good signature? Show it off!:D

    And do you think there is a potential market for ammo in obsolete calibers (such as .44 Henry Flat, .44 Evans, and .56-50 rimfire) to antique rifle owners?

    .45-70 Forager Round / Rat Shot

    Food for thought, speculation, and debate: I know back in the late 19th century, the US Army used a "forager" load consisting of a thin wood bullet and shot for small game. Do you think if a similar load, such as a ".45-70 Rat Shot" were created by an individual reloader for personal use today...

    Shoulder Fired Howitzer???

    Howdy. I just a got a "shoulder fired howitzer", the Marlin 1895 Guide Gun in .45-70. In order to get this beauty/beast in shooting order, I need to get new sights. I'm getting the XS ghost ring system with the rail for a scout scope. The rifle's previous owner put a limbsavor pad on, new (and...

    Okay, so I've been posting some erant stuff lately. Most of it for personal research. Now I'm asking about something I may purchase. Maybe. Does anybody know of any good .45-70 breech loaders (preferably not break-open) for under $600?

    .44 Evans Long and .44 Evans Short- Anybody Use These?

    Has anybody used these for a hunting or sport shooting purpose? The short seems like a .44 Russian or .45 Schofield powerwise to me, but the long approaches on .44 Maggie muzzle energy, but from what I hear only travels at a blistering high speed of 200 ft/second.:rolleyes: That seems awfully...

    What Can You Tell Me About the Evans Repeating Rifle?

    I know the basics. Two cartridges, (Evans short and long), old model and transitional models (34 rnds of short) new model (28 rnds of long). The differences in stock layout, 1500 total produced, magazine design, etc. I've done a lot of research. I've found out about making long cases from .30-40...

    Browning BLR .358 Win. - Straight or Pistol Grip?

    Alright, so after a great debacle of mind maker-uping, I've decided to purchase a Browning BLR in .358 Win. However, one problem- I don't know which grip to get. I like the looks of them both, but I like the straight grip '81 style more. However, 've heard that this stock config increases felt...
