    Berry's Plated 9x18...Discontinued?

    Does anyone know if Berry's plated 9x18 95 gr. RN are still available? They are no longer listed on their website. They're all I've ever used in 9mm Mak.

    CCW - Do you use the safety?

    I am curious on the viewpoints of other people who CCW. My wife's aunt thinks I am some kind of a nutcase for not having the safety on when I carry a gun (At the time, I was carrying a P64 with stock springs - it has something like a 22lb DA trigger pull). I am not trying to "prove" myself to...

    Firearms registration in AR

    Is there any firearms registration in AR? I moved to AR from MI about six months ago. In MI we had to register pistols (but not rifles or shotguns). I was under the impression that in AR there was no registration, except for NFA items. If anyone could point me to anything official on the...

    Why I like BP

    Blackpowder, putting the FIRE back into FIREarms! I've had this for a few months now but last night was the first time anyone was able to get some good pictures of it for me. You just don't get that kind of fire and smoke off of cartridge firearms (well, unless you shoot 460's all the time)...

    1860 Army questions

    A large group of us braved the cold and snow earlier today (yay michigan weather) and went out shooting. Among other guns I took my Pietta 1860 Army, and today I had a lot of fun with it. I managed to get through about 60 rounds today, I fixed the cap jamming problem it had. But now I have...

    SWC-HP in .45 Colt?

    Does anyone know of a place that sells SWC-HP for .45 Colt? Recently I've read how that bullet was quite the showstopper in .38 special, before the advent of JHP ammo. To me it seems like if it wasn't scaled down to make the .38 caliber bullet in the first place, somebody would have scaled it...

    Single Actions and the "plowhandle" style grip

    I ran into an interesting situation this evening at the range. I shot about 100 rds of .22 through one of the range guns, a Single Six to be exact. I was doing really well, probably the best shooting I've done all month so far. Then I brought out the artillery (comparatively speaking, I have...

    First time reloading .38 Super, what went wrong?

    No, my gun didn't blow up. But I did have the dangdest experience yet at my reloading bench earlier today. I have just gotten a .38 Super 1911 and besides that dies, bullets and brass for that caliber. I was trying to load Ranier .356 151gr plated bullets, Remington nickel plated brass and...

    Shark vs. Cowhide Belt

    I'm getting my first 1911 this week, and am planning mainly to use it as an OC/bummin'-around-in-the-woods gun. I want an OWB holster, good belt, and a magazine carrier for it. I have narrowed down which holster and mag pouch I want, but can't decide on the belt. They will be plain cowhide...

    Broke my CZ-82

    My mother got a new Bersa pistol yesterday, and we all decided to go out pistol shooting to celebrate. I took my CZ as usual. After my first magazine, my trigger guard was hanging in mid air. Couldn't get it to stay in the up position. Took it apart and this was what I found: A piece of...

    Did I break my AK?

    I sure hope not, but I'm not so sure. I took my new AK out for the first time today and fired about 100 rounds through it. When I stripped it down to clean it, the chamber caught my eye. It looks like there is a dent in the bottom edge of it; it almost looks like a feed ramp. I don't...

    45-70 and less mess?

    I'm using Varget for loading my 45-70, mainly because I can use the same powder for .223 Rem. I'm using 42 grains under a 405gr. LFP bullet, and always have lots of unburnt powder kernels to clean. It doesn't leave a mess in the barrel, but they are always plastered on the internals. I have...

    CZ-82 hotter ammo?

    I have read in the past that when the Czechs designed the CZ-82 pistol they also pumped up the 9x18 to be about 20% hotter than the standard load. Has this ammo been imported to the US before? If so where could one get some? Although it wouldn't nearly close the performance gap between 9x18...

    Repainting three-dot sights

    I have a CZ 82 I can't shoot straight. I figure that the gun itself is probably accurate, but I just have a hard time aiming it. I read that it is supposed to have three-dot sights. Well, mine look like this: Faded brown on the rear, and absolutely nothing on the front. I've never...

    Bullet: To pull or not to pull?

    I recently got into handloading, driven by the cost of 45-70 ammo. I found that it's not as hard as I thought and almost as fun as shooting. So I decided to also try making ammo for my CZ-82 (9x18 cal.). I made up a batch of 50 rounds, and had no trouble except for one bullet. the HP looks...

    AR-15 barrel wobble?

    I have had a High Standard AR-15 for a little over a year now. Last month I started practicing weekly with it. That means I get to clean it more. Tonight while I was cleaning it I noticed that the barrel wobbles. If I hold the upper reciever with one hand, and the barrel with the other hand...

    Yugo SKS's by the box

    http://www.dansammo.com/images/inv/yugo.asp I was thinking about buying a box of SKS's, but today I called up Dan's Ammo and they're out of them. Are there any other places that sell the Yugo M59/66 with grenade launcher and bayonet, by the box?

    Bolt action shotguns

    Bolt action shotguns have always held a certain neatness factor for me. I've seen very few of these for sale. I'd like to get one, but the only ones I've seen have right hand bolts on them. Is it possible to buy a brandy-new left hand bolt action, or would I have to get a right handed one and...

    Concealed Carry options for a REALLY skinny guy

    No, not skinny like you 150lb guys. I'll start off by saying I'm not yet of age to get a CHL, but that just gives me a couple more years to think about it. I'm just a quarter inch short of six feet tall, and weigh somewhere between 125 and 130 lbs. To make it more complicated, I'm a lefty...

    Low Serial numbers

    How low does a serial number have to be before it starts to add value to a gun? Would a really low serial number make a difference now or someday, on a gun that is currently still being produced?
