    Where Should I Go From Here?

    So, I finally completed my Savage precision rifle project a few weeks ago. It's not finished per se, but it's complete and I've been shooting it as is until I can afford more expensive toys! It is set up as follows: -Savage 11 action -Shilen .308 hand lapped SS barrel -Bushnell Elite 3200...

    Anyone know of any precision/tactical matches?

    I'm in central Missouri (willing to travel reasonable distance-say 300 miles or less) and looking to get into some sort of competitive shooting. Mainly, I'm interested in 3-gun and precision tactical types of things. If any of you all know of any, I'd be all ears! Thanks Ben

    Anyone Practice with Wax Bullets?

    I was introduced to the concept of shooting wax bullets a couple years ago and I'm just curious to know if anyone uses them for training. Other than the $ savings, I can see where they'd be useful for room clearing exercises in a house/barn and perhaps draw and fire training as well. Any...

    Anyone carry DA/SA auto with safety off?

    Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone carries their DA/SA semi-auto with the safety off. As of right now, I carry a Polish P64 which is almost exactly like a PPK in terms of function. The safety pushes up, which is not very fast or natural so I've been carrying with the safety off. Afterall...

    The Movie 'Shooter'...Offhand in Rowboat Stunt

    Hello all, After reading the following post on THR a while back, I was inspired to test myself and see what I could do to confirm or debunk the 'Sniper poppin' noggins from a rowboat @ 200 yards with a .22lr' myth. So, check out the original thread first...

    A couple questions for you...two decisions for me!

    Ok, First question: I've got a lead on a Colt Commander for very reasonable money, but I'm still not sure if it's the steel frame or alloy frame. I'm a fan of all steel firearms and my concern is that, if indeed it is the alloy frame model, it won't hold up. Is there any reason for me to...

    Out of State Purchase

    Hey guys, A long time friend of the family has an extensive gun collection for sale and we're thinking about buying them all from him. He is (or was) an FFL and says there's no paperwork or transfer work that needs to be done, but I'm paranoid and want to get another opinion or two. We live...

    .38 Wadcutter Loads...Mistake?

    Hey Guys, Just got done loading some rounds at the bench tonight and feel like I may have made a mistake! I had some plated double ended wadcutters I wanted to load up for my Detective Special so I made quick reference to my handy Sierra manual. Of course, Sierra doesn't make a .38...

    Attn. .308 Battle Rifle Owners...

    Hello all, I'm in the process of building a Savage precision rifle in .308 and I want to do a conversion to allow the use of detachable box magazines. A while back, I purchased an M14 magazine with the intent of doing some modification so it would fit the Savage. After messing around with...

    Headspacing a Savage on Unsized Brass (Lapua)

    Hey guys, I've heard lots of glowing reports about Lapua brass. Some even say it's so consistent that it doesn't need to be prepped or FL sized before loading. I'm currently building a Savage in .308, Shilen Select Match Bull barrel. My question is, would it be feasible to headspace using...

    Parts Kit Build and BATF

    I've been seeing lots of PPS-43 parts kits available on various sites for cheap $$$ and found some economically priced 'Semi-Automatic' Receivers available from a couple sources, so I've been interested in building one (SA only)! Most of the parts kits don't include the barrel, which on the...

    Got My Name on a Savage

    Well, I finally pinned down a Savage to do a precision rifle build with. Found a Savage 11 in .243, BARELY used for $275. Even has the Accu-Trigger! Now I just have to go lay my money down and bring it home! Also, I have to get to ordering parts. Once I'm done it'll have the following...

    Savage Build

    Hey Guys, After several years of procrastination, I think I'm finally on my way to starting a build on a Savage 10 platform. I'm currently pricing a few new and used Savages as well as the Stevens 200, but I'm also entertaining the idea of building on one of the new Savage competition...

    Parkerizing solution questions.

    Hey guys, There are a few guns running around my place that need a good parkerizing job such as a Remington 870 Express that rusts if I look at it cross-ways. I want to apply parkerization from a kit such as Lauer or but I had a question or two first. 1.) Is the Lauer park a quality...

    Garand price check

    Hey Guys, Just wanted to get your opinion on a Garand I ran across at a local shop. Early 1944 Springfield Armory with an LMR barrel from '53 in 'decent' shape. They want $550. Is this fair? Ben

    Yugo M70 Underfolder Question

    Hey folks, I picked up an M70 with the folding stock a while back and I actually like the rifle fine in its current configuration, but I was curious to know if the M70 Underfolder can be converted to fixed-stock configuration by installing a new rear trunnion. If so, where's the best place...

    Polish P64 Range Report

    Hey All, There's a lot of fishy advice floating around out there concerning the Polish P64. A good share of the opinions are negative and I suspect most of those are passed along second or third hand, at best. NO it's NOT a 'true' Makarov. Doesn't look like one. Doesn't handle like one...

    Question for those of you who carry.

    I'm looking to get my CC permit soon and I've got my options narrowed down to either a Rossi .357 snub (6-shot) or a Bersa Thunder .380. Right now, the .357 has the edge in my mind, but I'm back in forth so much I can't really decide! I guess what I'm asking is do any of you see any reason...

    Rossi or Taurus Snubby?

    Hey Guys, I'm in the market for a new or used .357 or .38spl snub nose in the $300 or less price range. So far I've narrowed it down to a Pre-Hammer-Lock .38 Taurus SS, used for $220 (maybe less) or a new Rossi .357 for between $280 and $300. The general consensus around THR is that Taurus...
