Two of the nipples on my Uberti '58 Remington are stuck. I have a good nipple wrench, but the edge of the area on the nipple that's supposed to catch is stripped. I don't mind buying new nipples, but a new cylinder will break me, I'm afraid. Anyone have suggestions on how I can get these two...

My father found this bit of Thompson Center literature when he was going through some old things. I have the TC Hawken he bought years ago (I think for about $120). I don't think the booklet came with the gun, being priced separately ($1!). The only date I can find on the booklet is on the back...

I've got a Mossberg 500, just your standard version, not new but probably not very old. I bought some word furniture for it some time ago and am pleased with it. However, the recoil pad that is installed on the wood furniture adds about an inch of pull that I don't need and is a little long for...

Has anybody on here tried the the 7.62x25 listed on the link below? http://www.classicarms.us/ammunition.htm I heard about Bulgarian 7.62x25 having problems, but that was years ago. Don't know about the current batch. I think J&G Sales may be offering the same or similar batches with...

I recently had a motorcycle wreck and broke bones in both arms. The left was just a single broken bone in my thumb which would have healed fine after being in a cast for a few weeks, The right was considerably more extensive, however, requiring an entire erector set to reassemble. (images below)...

I tried to find an existing thread on this and couldn't. I didn't even know they were putting this inscription on some of the J-frames. I went into one of my local shops looking around, and they happened to have the 638 on the rack. The display model had a little corrosion on the grip screw and...

I haven't been able to listen to everything in this video yet so I'm undecided whether or not this guy is a complete idiot or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uym_YlX1LNw It seems he's promoting a method for and advocating breaking the law (promoting a way for felons or children to get...

...until I decide to swap the "target" trigger on my Glock 19 for the smooth trigger that comes stock on the Glock 17 et al. I accomplished this using nothing more than a small punch and the screwdriver from my Swiss army knife. It took 5-10 minutes, including swapping out the connector for a...

I've got lots of 9mm brass saved up, and lots of black powder in FFg and FFFg grades. I'm planning to get a TC Contender and 9mm barrel with which to shoot reloads, so enough pressure to cycle a semi-auto action will not be a concern. Has anyone here used this powder/cartridge combination and...

I started a photo pool on the flickr image sharing website. The name of it is "the range is hot". Here's the description: As of this post, there were 243 images on flickr alone that were added and met the criteria. They include shooters and ranges from all over the world. I even invited one...

It was fairly warm today, forecasted to be in the '90s and typical humidity for Arkansas. Fortunately, the Game and Fish commision range at Mayflower has covered benches and an air-conditioned range office, complete with running water and working (fairly) clean toilets. I was at the end of...

Guy had this on a rimfire benchrest rifle at the range today. Said it was kind of like a stabilizer, keeping the end of the barrel at "zero," or in the same place each time the bullet exits. That's my paraphrasing of his description.

I couldn't find another thread on these bullets, Hornady item number 6617. It says they're designed for use with a slow twist. Does anyone here have experience with them, and how do you think they'd do in a compromise 1-48" twist? jm

Online now, but to be published in the 20 April issue. Sorry if it was already posted elsewhere. Of course the author seems to lament that the government just isn't doing what's needed to ban guns. http://www.newsweek.com/id/193589/output/print

I think I can do this, but I wanted to make sure before I dropped the cash on it. I have a Lyman GPR .54 caliber with slow twist. Is it possible to drop in the .50 caliber Lyman GPR barrel with the 1-32" twist without any other modifications? Reason being, there are a few more bullet choices...

I recently acquired a Mossberg 500A (20" model with full length tube) that had composite stock and fore end. I'm looking to replace both of these with wood versions. Are there any differences in design in the 500 models over the years that would prevent one type of Mossberg 500 stock from...

I was in a gun store today looking for scope rings and I stopped by their gun counter. They had a surplus CZ82 in typical used finish for $159. I thought, "jeez that's too good to be true," so I asked to see it. Now I don't know what kind of barrels these pistols have, but I've seen the...

If I hear one more media outlet allow (or promote) another "expert" to spew falsehoods about the RIVER of AUTOMATIC ASSAULT RIFLES from the US to Mexican drug cartels, I'm going to have a heart attack. On a radio report this morning with emphasis on "Latino" issues: some university professor...

I'm going to use my spring break to air out some lead in my rifles. I was looking for someplace that has a line longer than 200 yards, and in Arkansas it's harder to find. I'm going to drive up to five hours to get there, so my choices are all between Little Rock and: 1) Dallas along I30 2)...

Looks like it took a few stabs and gunshots before it ceased attacking. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-02-16-chimpanzee-attack_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip
