    Help IDing a Stevens shotgun model

    Thank you Driftwood Johnson I genuinely appreciate your input. I'm honestly surprised he's older shotguns don't at least have a little more value to them. I feel like one day overnight they're going to go up in value. Kind of like the Mosin and the SKS did. But I digress I really appreciate your...

    Help IDing a Stevens shotgun model

    Yeah my buddy asked me to put a firing pin in it for him so I'm just trying to figure out what the actual make is I think it's a model 107 or a model 89 Stevens cranked out so many different models of single-shot it's insane LOL. Judging from some of the markings on the side after looking around...

    Best Ar-15 barrel chamber for reloads?

    Planning on building an 20" DMR style AR. I will be handloading the ammo for it so I'm wondering if I should get a barrel with a .223 wyld chamber, standard .223, or a 5.56/.223 chamber? Obviously I want it to function and shoot well but accuracy is going to be priority

    Great gun for recoil sensitive shooters

    I've had a lot of trouble helping my mom find a firearm that didn't hurt her arthritis hands but have enough power to actually be effective in a self-defense situation. After trying a few different 380s I ended up having to get her a 32 ACP. Over the weekend A friend of mine had his wife with...

    70g ff & 70g #5 enough to kill a turkey w/a BP 12ga

    To clarify we're using 70 volume grains of black powder and using the same measure for shot. We were doing 80 and 80 but we were getting holes in the pattern and backing it off to 70 seemed to really give it a solid pattern. We shot some really hard plastic target bottles and they penetrated one...

    70g ff & 70g #5 enough to kill a turkey w/a BP 12ga

    I think the title says it all would like to know if you guys think 70g FFg with 70g #5 shot is going to be enough to kill a turkey. My 82 year old uncle has decided he wants to kill a turkey with a black powder shotgun before he dies but I don't think he can handle any more load honestly. I know...

    Could use some advice on load development on new 308

    - I have a chronograph and 2560 was the average of 10 rnd. By (no chrono) I meant I dont have that info as I have yet to measure the speed. I figure 43.5 out of a 24" barrel should get to 1000yds ok. - What I meant by 2 nodes but need tweaked is that I only adjusted by .5 grain increments now...

    Help! Problems with my new chrono!!

    Just to clarify the one that I have is the upside down when made by Caldwell. The actual sensors are up top give me a sec and I'll download a picture on here. It was pretty sunny and it was all so windy I don't know if that matters. This is my first experience with a Chrono so I'm kind of...

    Help! Problems with my new chrono!!

    So the chronograph has to actually be level with the ground then not just with the travel of the bullet? Cuz if that's the case that's obviously what my problem was

    Help! Problems with my new chrono!!

    So I finally got a chronograph. It's a Caldwell G2 Precision chronograph, got it off Amazon for a pretty good price and I liked it because of the Bluetooth app. So I signed it up Saturday and tried shooting my nine-mil through it and it wasn't giving Accurate readings. It was saying either in...

    Different dovetail sizes on B.P. guns??

    I really don't know if this rifles worth all that work to be honest fellas. I bought it for $90 and for some reason it shoots super high with every set of sites I've put on there. I finally filed a rear sight down to get a good zero but it's so low I can't hardly get a good sight picture LOL but...

    Different dovetail sizes on B.P. guns??

    I need to get new sights for my Hawken rifle and as I'm shopping around all I can seem to find is 3/8 dovetail if they are even labeled. I have an Ardesa Hawken style rifle, the dovetail notch seems to be approx. 5/16". Does anyone know where I can find the proper style sites or how I can find...
