Hello, I am new to using the Redding Type S match dies. The sizing die requires the selection of a bushing to 'fine-tune' the case sizing. I've read a lot about it on line but I must admit that I am still confused about how to choose the size/sizes of bushing for my specific need. Some say...

So with the recall of the Remington 700 series (including the CDL) series of guns, I dutifully got my shipping box from Remington sized for the whole rifle. At the same time I purchased a Jewell trigger which is how I plan on improving what seems to be a low-risk situation. My concern is that a...

I'm considering the purchase of a S&W 627 with the 2.625", 8-shot, .38/.357 config. Seems good for backpacking and camping, is moderately carry-able, and can share some accessories (e.g. speed loaders) with my 627 V-Comp. Who out there has one or has shot one? Any impressions, likes/dislikes...

Hello, I've been shooting on and off for years and one thing that I'd like to be more fastidious about is keeping track of what and how many rounds go through each of my guns. I read other posts where people state that, 'this xyz revolver has seen 533 rounds of .38 special and 147 rounds of...

So I am planning on purchasing a semi-auto .308 rifle. I've been looking for a while and have read quite a bit on the following: FAL, H&K/PTR, Kel-Tec RFB, DPMS, FNAR, FN SCAR 17 but the one that seems to rise to the top of the list is the S&W M&P 10. Here's my take: I'm left-handed and slight...

I'm pretty new to the lever action universe but watched a few being run at my range and the more I research them, the more I like. The light weight, the tight mechanical action, the beauty of the design and the ability to share rounds with my Smith .44 V-Comp all hike my interest. I'm not one...

So I am about to embark on a new AR build and need some advice. I have all of the parts and pieces but have a question about one rather obscure issue. I'm building a left-handed design starting with a Stag lower and upper stripped receiver, a DD 14.5" barrel and an appropriate muzzle device to...

So, I just bought this beautiful and space age Smith & Wesson 629 V Comp. Here's the URL: http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_765744_-1_775655_757896_757896_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y It's a beauty. If Darth Vader ever rode in the wild west, he'd have...

So I've always been a high-tech guy. The latest/coolest/most dramatic piece of machinery, whether mobile phone, motorcycle or handgun was the thing I chose to value and more times than not, to own. So for years I've been focused on semi's as the handgun of choice. Slim, designed to carry IWB...

So I'm looking to purchase a S&W 627 V-comp: http://tinyurl.com/cb8fm6j. It's on the 'accepted list' here in CA and either the two-tone (per the URL) or the earlier all-stainless model is acceptable. Both are 8 shot models which is darn good capacity for a magnum revolver. I own its big brother...

Hello, I'm a left hander and have been searching for a left-hand friendly 12 gauge shotgun for some time. I'm particularly interested in the BPS line of shotguns because of their documented quality and ambi design. I'd like to find one shotgun that could do double duty for HD and hunting (and...

Hello, I'm soon to be the very proud owner of a SW 629 V-Comp .44. I've waited a long time to purchase one of these and am pretty excited about it. It is definitely not something I need though, just something I want. In that regard, I am looking for a classic leather holster for it. Not too...

So, I have a small collection of semi-auto handguns. HK's old and new and a Benelli .22LR Atlanta. My wife has the same models as I do. But I've been holding off buying a big revolver for some years and I'm about to succumb to the urge. It really comes down to either the S&W .44 V-Comp or the...

So, I am looking to purchase a bolt rifle in .223 and since I'm very satisfied with a previous Tikka purchase, I am focusing on their models. But I'm curious about choosing between two configurations that they offer. They have two .223 models. Both with barrels just shy of 23" but one with a...

Hello, I am planning a new AR .223/5.56 build. Despite current times limiting availability, I'm in no rush and so I just want to spec out what works for me, place orders and wait some time as needed. So I'm looking for a mid- to high-quality build but I want it to be as lightweight as...

I just fulfilled a long-standing wish by purchasing a left-handed Tikka Sporter (derived from the T3) rifle chambered in .308. Rather than using the standard Tikka mounts/rings, I purchased a very nice picatinny rail mount designed exactly for the rifle. I provides more flexibility and...

So, I don't consider my wife and I to be 'preppers'. At least not the National Geographic thousand square foot underground bunker world-destroying solar flare kind of prepper. On the other hand, we live here in the CA Bay Area where the earthquake clock keeps ticking and it truly is a matter of...

So, I recently (1/1/13) ordered a CMMG Revo left-handed upper for a completed poly lower that I purchased separately. I've heard that CMMG has a rep for not being the most communicative and not having prompt shipping times though I believe that they make quality stuff. Further, these are the...

So after waiting what seemed like a eons (8 or 9 months) my beautiful Tikka Sporter left handed bold-action rifle in .308 finally arrived. Quite a piece and my first bolt-action rifle in the safe. I plan to use it for target shooting, perhaps hunting some day, but really to test and improve my...

I suspect that many of the participants in THR consider a firearm to be a very critical tool in home- and/or self-defense. Whether just inside the house, or carrying a weapon daily, most comments about shot placement, well-honed familiarity and frequent practice are in the context of using a gun...
