    New Beretta (to me)

    So I got what I think is a pretty good deal on a Beretta Urika today, says used but doesn't look it, with the case and all the goodies....except for a manual. Sorry about the pics, my digital camera pretty much died and these are crap cellphone pics. And I'm just looking for some...

    Hello all, I just rescued a little beauty from a pawnshop and it's a JC Higgins 20 gauge (made by High Standard, I think) from Sears. Identification marks are Model 21- 20 gauge, 583.2076 and a code of IE stamped on the left side of the barrel in front of the receiver. Anyone know how to...

    Taurus 85 UL woes

    This is going to look bad on Taurus or me, I'm not sure which. Just got a taurus 85 UL last weekend. Went out and shot it, was consistently hitting at least 2" to the left unsupported. Thought that maybe it just didn't like the 158 gr bullets I was using, so I got some lighter factory stuff...

    Cartridge slides?

    I know that these are usually used for LEO on a duty belt, but I was just wondering...... Has anyone here ever used a cartridge slide on a regular belt, perhaps turned around so that the ammo is concealed bahind the belt? I thought that it might be a semi-efficient way to carry a reload...

    Well, I got hosed.

    I bought a Lee pro 1000 at my local dealer, and I really think I got hosed. I opened the package and there were none of the extra parts in there that were supposed to be there. The hex ratched that is installed is completely chewed up, and as far as I can tell the drive bolt is broken. I...

    A surprise Email

    So here I was, thinking that I was going to go to a gun show here locally and pick up my AR-15 upper this weekend when my backorder from Midway up and ships today! Too bad I won't have any time to play with it come next week. I got a DPMS upper on the way, does anyone have any good input...

    Is my 870 hosed?

    A little help, please...... looking down in my 870 chamber as below (sorry about pic quality, my camera kinda sucks) The spring metal, sticking up dead center - is that supposed to be there to stop the shell when it exits the magazine under tension, or is it in the wrong place? The only...

    Help with old SXS?

    I'm trying to get this old SXS back up to fighting condition - problem is, I don't know how. It has only the markings shown in the photo - lots of scrollwork on all the metal, a very pretty gun. Can anyone help me identify this gun and point me to where I can find a manual or at least some...

    Good deals online for AR-15 upper?

    Everyone says not to buy MSRP for AR 15 parts - where can I find a good deal on an upper? All I want is an A3 style with a front sight block or a flip-up front sight, and medium contour barrel, and I can take or leave a flash hider. Any suggestions on a good entry level? Less expensive is...

    Resurrection Mod 12

    Here's jsut a few pics of what I tried to fix. The shotgun in question is a Model 12 winchester, serial # 6611XXX. Found by a friend in an old wooden box that he knew he had his father's guns in but had family concerns, had to buy a safe before getting them out of storage. Most of the...

    Help with an old Win Model 12?

    Went to help out a buddy of mine today, he got a new gun safe so that he could finally get his guns out of storage. In unwrapping a nice selection of rimfires, we found a rusted model 12 that judging from the internals had never been cleaned. Bore is bright, marked as 12 guage and 2 1/2...

    Harsh reality strikes me again.

    So I'm reading all these posts about the shooter in the mall, the shooter in the church - looking at all the people saying that they would shoot someone 50+ yards away and feel confident that they could hit with thier CCW with boring regularity. So I went to the range with a new coffee can of...

    Whose .308?

    Getting through my deer season sighting in, I have deceided that I need a new rifle. I currently have a .30-30, a .250 savage, and a .357 mag carbine, and think that I need a .308. Why? Well, I'd like something in that area that I can scope (no scopes on my levers, please) is at least the .30...

    Quick range report: Kel-Tec P-32

    I know that they have been around for a relatively long time, but just wanted to give my first impressions. My wife actually won this little handgun in a charity gun bash. $30 ticket and you get a free gun. Not bad. I don't think that this is something that I would ever actually lust after...

    .357 for Whitetail

    Hi guys, I'm just looking for input. I have a 1984c and a Ruger GP-100 both in .357 mag and I want to hunt whitetail with both this season. Any of you do this, and if so, what type of bullet are you using? I handload, so I'm not held back by factory only stuff. Any suggestions? -Rock

    dumb questions - honestly - GP 100?

    My brother in law isn't all that into guns. He called me tonight, wanting to sell one that he has had for a while, calling it a "Ruger Blackhawk" but by his descriptions it is a ruger revolver, 357 mag, with a 6" barrel, stainless, can be loaded with a speedloader, and he bought it new 10...

    help with tight dovetail

    I have a rifle with a blank where the rear sight is supposed to be. I want to take it out to put an XS weaver rail in there, but am having a heck of a time getting that dovetail blank to budge. What can I use to help get it moving - oil, heat, anything? Thanks, Rock

    Same problem as before -

    I had this problem with my .45 auto rounds, now the 9mm are acting the same way. I am trying to make 9mm 125 gr LRN rounds, and the length in the speer manual states 1.130 for these rounds. The rounds won't drop all the way into the chamber about half the time. I'm trying to use these in an...
