    Vudoo Ravage Ridgeback LH .22 LR

    Hi All, Here’s my review of the above rifle: I’ve been shooting my new toy at the local gamelands 100 yd range for the past few weeks. Today was the closest to Ideal conditions I’ve had to date (light swirling breezes) no precipitation 50 ish degrees and light overcast. So, I was able to shoot...

    S&W 22/32 Needs a Gunsmith

    Hi all. I just picked up a neat little kit gun that is generally in good shape but it does need some work due to what I think was some imprudent customization: The front sight is to short and doesn’t look original. The rear sight blade needs replacement. It has an uncomfortably light trigger in...

    M2 Carbine Look Alike 10/22 Fun!

    Here’s a real crowd pleaser! Drop a 10/22 into an EABCO M1 Carbine replica sights & stock set. Then add a Franklin Armory binary trigger and some BX25 magazines. Hard to shoot it without grinning and giggling!

    Kimber K6s Magnaported

    After about a year of ownership I decided to have my EDC ported. I have had this process done on a variety of guns in the past (35 Remington 14” contender, .4 5/8”.45 LC Blackhawk and a .44 Magnum S&W Mountain Gun) so I knew what to expect. As with the others, Magnaport did great work and had...

    Kingston Armory M1 Garand .22

    I recently acquired one of these. I knew going in there would be issues with function. However, reading up on them over on Rimfire Central I decided to give it a try. For those unfamiliar, this is a 95 % size and weight replica based on a steel 10/22 receiver, .22 LR bored Garand profile barrel...

    Can Anyone ID this Part?

    I'm helping a friend sort through a few boxes of gun parts and we came across this. We have no idea what it is. Does it look familiar to anyone? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Smith & Wesson 340 PD Short Frame in 9 mm +P

    With the latest offering from Ruger Will S&W step up with something trimmer and lighter? Maybe a package that includes a full moon clip holder that holds 2 or 3 stacked full moon clips?

    I Bought A Better Belt

    In my 30 + years carrying a handgun I've owned belts from many makers. I have 1.5" gunbelts ranging from Wilderness 5 stitch Frequent Flyer through Milt Sparks 1B to a bespoke full rayskin gunbelt. However, until now, I had never found a "sweet spot" of quality, service and price as I did...

    Colt's Cobra With A T-Grip

    Today I received the Tyler T-Grip I ordered a few weeks ago. Considering it was ordered with a snail mailed check the turn around was quick. I Just put it on the Cobra and I love the way it feels and looks. Although you cant tell from the angle of the picture, the mat finish of the T-Grip...

    Please help ID this S&W Revolver

    Hi All, A friend of mine just inherited this revolver that was once his grandfathers. It looks like an older S&W. The grips are crap plastic put on in the 60s. As he wants to pun nicer grips on we need to know the exact model. The model designation is not in the usual place (for me)...

    Colt Super .38 from VT Motor Vehicle Dept.

    Howdy!, I just had the opportunity to shoot a very intriguing pistol. It's a Colt model 1911 A-1 in Super .38 caliber. The serial # was 1900X. This should be from the mid 1930s. The pistol shows slight honest wear to the grips and metal surfaces that indicate it was carried in a...

    Zanotti V. KenCraft RSC

    I took the pegboard cover off of the inside of my ZA-III door to change the combination. I was very impressed with what I found! Turns out that the 10 3/4" thick steel bolts that secure the door are actually 5 solid rods and go across the entire inside of the door. They are connected by a...

    This Was Really Bad!

    I've got the Sci Fi channel playing, cheesey movie "The Phantom" based on the old comic book character. Premise seems to be son of phantom takes over dads mantle. Scene is in an indoor range: The "only shoot to wound" was bad. Pointing the 1911 at the target, pull trigger = "click"...

    Springfield Loaded Stainless v. Colt 1911 XSE Gov. Enhanced Comp. Stainless

    This will be as a general purpose .45 ACP shooter. Mainly an R&R range gun. When I purchase a gun, part of the equation I consider is that I will hand it down to my children / grandchildren someday (my oldest is 15 so I've still got some time to play with my toys ;)). I prefer to buy...
