The Browning website continues to show a variety of Buckmarks in production, but I haven't seen any for sale in years (well before the current panic), except for a Camper model here and there. Do they only make a few a year?

I confess. I succumbed to the pressure--for awhile. My first and last bidding war. eBay just had a Lee Loader in .32 ACP listed. I waited till the last day (yesterday) to bid. Price had stayed around $20 or so, until I jumped into the fray. Was willing to pay around $30+S/H. Ended up...

I went to one dealer to ask about ordering one (on backorder, of course). He wants $529 plus tax for it. Also, he wants the money up front before making the order--and rightly so. In this polymer age, a small percentage of gun shoppers would be interested. How does that price compare to...

I'm enjoying shooting my Single-Six more and more. It took me awhile to figure out the best handhold for accuracy--much different from DA revolver shooting--but I'm loving it now. The .22LR is great, but, sometimes, a man needs just a little more kick and boom.:) Well, since I already cast...

Hey, folks. What should I look for regarding excessive wear on a 5904? It's got plenty of holster wear and and several scratches. Tagged price is $315, but I'm certain the dealer will work out a lower price--it's been on the shelf awhile. Any particular areas I should pay attention to...

I already posted this on www.smith-wessonforum.com, so I apologize to those of you reading both. On Thursday, I stumbled across a Model 17-1 on consignment at the local gun shop. $300 out the door. No box or papers. S/N K4256XX. It has the original grips (matching serial number), yet it...

I have the Lee Turret Press with the aluminum base and am considering getting the Safety Prime update kit that Lee offers. Anybody made that conversion yet? I'd like to hear how it's working out.

I've got an older Lee Turret with the aluminum base, for which I've drilled an opening on the mounting boards for catching spent primers in a box mounted underneath. Tonight, about 15 primers out of 190 failed to make it through the slots in the base because they bounced around the ram. They...

I just bought a 6-inch 686-1 from the "Fine Gun Room" at Bass Pro Shops. Serial number AWLxxxx. Anybody know the production year? I'm guessing 1988 or 1989. Great condition, original checkered wood grips with speedloader cut--which I'll replace with either Hogue Monogrip or finger-grooved...

I'm about to bang my head against a wall for an hour or so. I bought a new Ruger Single Six, took it to the range twice, and saw that it's shooting about 2 inches to the left with different kinds of .22 LR and CB Long ammo. With my jeweler's screwdriver, I tried to turn the windage screw...

I loaded about 100 rounds of ~2.6 gr. Bullseye (cavity .30 in Lee Auto Disk) under a Speer 148-gr. HBWC. I used a light roll crimp on the shoulder of the bullet in my FCD. I also loaded about 100 rounds of ~2.9 gr BE (cavity .32) under the same bullet. Same crimp as above. At the range...

Congrats to Ruger for correcting my Single Six issue promptly and at no cost. I bought a new Single Six .22 in January, but I didn't shoot it till a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that point-of-impact was to the left of point-of-aim. When I tried to use my jeweler's screwdriver to adjust...

Any solutions to the vertical give in the Turret press? I have the old-style press. When the ram pushes a brass case up into the die, the turret itself moves up just slightly less than 1/16 inch. Theoretically, I guess, it shouldn't make any difference in the consistency of a batch of...

I'm new to reloading, so I'm trying to figure out which powder would be good to start with for .38 Spl target loads using 148 gr. WC. I will be using either the Lee Auto Disk on my turret press or the Lee Perfect Powder Measure. I've noticed some comments that certain powders don't work well...

Long story short is that I'm finally breaking out the Lee Turret Press that my dad got me for Christmas 19 years ago. I see now that I can convert it to a 4-hole so that it includes the factory crimp die. For starters, I'll just be reloading .38 Special. Because I'm new at all this, is it...

I haven't shot my .38 Detective Special since about 1990. Today, as I was shooting, I noticed that one of the cylinder bores seems tighter than the others. A cartridge would have to be pushed in tight to get it all the way in. I ended up shooting 5 rounds per cylinder instead of 6 so that I...
