    Firing with gun on wood. ???

    I was watching Top Shot on the Roku channel. The contestants were shooting various guns and..... resting them on solid wood. Tables and rails. ❓ I have never shot from a rest with the gun itself resting on NO padding of any sort. I even avoid sticking it against a tree. Has the...

    Think we could reverse the anti gun trend?

    I know we make ..some strides.. toward that goal. But just now I am wondering if we are smart about how we gun people are going about it. The PUBLIC doesn't get our picture and they form their opinions from mostly liberal media sources. I wonder what would be the result of creating gun...

    Do you clean the bore of your ....22.... REVOLVERS ??

    Back in my days of going to matches, I subscribed to the theory of "BULLET POLISH" and did not clean 22s. Is this still a valid theory? For REVOLVERS ? Even with the cylinder to barrel gap jump? I don't use a bore snake and just carefully run an oily mop down the bore from the muzzle...

    Sticking cylinder on S&W 8 shot .22 M63

    It is ...SPORADIC !! 😡 Seems to be only a segment of the cylinder. And a ...random... segment at that. I've cleaned everything. The ejector rod is tight. There is good lockup. Nearly imperceptible end play. It ...seems... to work "better" if I apply some upward pressure on the...

    NOT a trigger shoe... a HAMMER shoe!

    Does anyone make such an animal? My M63 Smith wants to eat my thumb. Cocking hurts and is affecting the joint arthritis It's so NARROW !!! I think that if it were wide like the K series target hammers, it would be fine. Sooo... ?????

    My MOST MEMORABLE shot.

    Many years ago but still clear as day. Out shooting at the range with a friend. A guy down the line noticed my friend's gun. A Ruger 45 Colt with some handloads that were HOT! VERY hot! Guy came down and remarked, "Pretty ...groiny... gun." :rofl: They got to talking and the guy noticed...

    Anyone here ever test any Geco BAT 9mm ammo?

    I discovered some boxes of Geco BAT (Blitz Action Trauma) ammo I had. Can't even recall where I got them. I do remember some old old gunrag articles saying how great they were. Think it was Pistolero or Gun Tests. (showing my age here ;)) I know I did shoot some of it. Didn't actually TEST...

    Looking for new info. K-frame cracking?

    Is there still any risk of cracking the frames on S&W K-frame .357s? Models 19 and 66, At one time, it was a hot topic but haven't heard anything new about it. I know the culprit was reported to be the light bullet (110 gr and 125gr) so I stopped using those. I only shoot the 158 gr factory...

    No more rifles for Landgroove.

    I decided to sell a Savage M16 .223 with a Nikon 4.5-14 target scope. Took it out of the safe and took a last look and.....WOW! I have shoulder arthritis that is crippling. Should NOT have picked up that rifle. Never used it much anyhow. Always played with the Mini-14. The arthritis was...

    SCAM question

    Does anyone know HOW "want to buy" scams actually work? I post on a forum that has a Buy, Sell, Trade category and ...usually... the responder uses the.. forum private message.. to respond. I got an email from someone or something that offerred what I was looking for. I googled the email...

    Bipod query.

    May have been discussed before, but I have wondered about the use of bipods. I cut my teeth on advice to use a "soft" rest for the forend to get best accuracy. Yet I see "tactical" sniper/SWAT rifles sporting bipods. Do bipods act differently from shooting sticks, leaning on a tree or a fence?

    22 LR cartridge question.

    Has anyone tried the CCI small game rounds? With the flat point, did they function in semi auto 22 pistols?

    Any source for a 45 ACP cylinder for a New Frontier 45 Colt 3rd gen?

    My NF is 1964 vintage with the non removable cylinder bushing. Gunsmith says he can fit it if I can find one. Anyone know of any source. New or used is OK. Used only if not buggered up. Thanks. :)

    Barrel mount sling swivel for CZ455 Ultra Lux?

    I had the gun up for sale but now started thinking it's too darn nice to lose. So now I'm thinking of adding a sling swivel to that LOOONNNNGGGGG barrel. You know, for African safari time. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my !!! :eek: I googled barrel swivels and got some dead websites...

    Cowboy repair.

    Thought this was ingenious. Some range denizen broke his mainspring on this Belgian SAA copy. He cut the wood and fitted it in with a shim. Guess it worked.

    Anyone use a brass catcher when plinking with auto?

    I've seen one that straps to your wrist. Anyone use one while just plinking to keep the brass out of the weeds? Have also seen tripod mount. Just checking as some people invent and cobble some good stuff that no one thinks of. ???

    My choice of the S&W 640 for a shop gun.

    I was looking for a good belt loop gun for shop carry. Settled on the S&W 640. Fired it first time in indoor range. The targets were those pulley kind that you make whatever distance you want to shoot. I did the 7 yard (well within over counter shop range) with some .357s and the muzzle blast...

    Remington 512 stubborn problem

    Still have my first gun. 512 Remington .22 Even has the hang tag. It developed a feeding problem a LONG time ago. 3 gunsmiths ...tried...(maybe) to fix but no go. Last one got it ...almost...right. Now it will feed all but the last round which jams up pointed down and TIGHT! The other...

    NOW I can't decide between Taser and stun gun.

    Dang, this gets complicated.? I...thought... I wanted a C2 Taser but further reading makes me wonder if the power of stun guns outdisables the darts of the Taser. And, are the really powerful stun guns as small as the C2. C2 disappears in my pocket. :confused::confused:
