Please help identify these tools. Who makes/made them? Are they still made? They are for lubing and sizing cast bullets, right? Anyone have the instructions that would have come with them?

I recently purchased 100 new Hornady 45 Colt brass. They measure 1.228" (average) with my caliper. Once fired Winchester brass measures 1.274" (average). The short case is evident in the photo with the Lee case trimmer and lock stud, the 45 Colt trimmer is bottomed-out against the lock stud, and...

Today I shot an honest half-inch group with my .223 Contender (14" Bull barrel) at 100 yds., off a Hornady Delta-rest with a sand bag under the pistol grip. My friend MakeMyDay and I spent the day shooting rifles at 100 & 300 yds. and I also shot my Contender with 14" .223 & 30-30 barrels. I...

My deer season started off bad and got worse from there. I missed a nice buck on the opening weekend (muzzleloader season). I couldn't have asked for a more perfect shot presentation from the stand I was in; I simply rushed the shot and missed. Then, for the next two months, deer sightings...

If someone decided they may want to run an add in the Classifieds, to clean guns, install scopes, and sight in rifles, for extra money, would he need some kind of license to do that sort of work? FFL?

Just got these nice checkered walnut grips for my Bulgy MAK. They sure dress up this little pistol. Got them here: http://marschalgrips.com/

Here are my twins; a K-17-2 and a K-14-2

Just curious; how many of you are likely, at least once in your lifetime to purchase a custom rifle. Sure there are some great factory rifles available for good prices off-the-shelf. But can you see yourself spending $3-10K for a full custom or some variation of full custom rifle, where you get...

This link is to the article in LA Sportsman about the NOPD stealing guns. It is by the author of The Great New Orleans Gun Grab. UNBELIEVABLE! http://www.louisianasportsman.com/details.php?id=1226

Specifically speaking of .308 ammo cases here, but also in general: Is the brass from Remington Managed Recoil ammo safe to reload? Is the brass the same as their regular Core-Lokd ammo brass? Is the brass from Hornady Light Magnum same as regular? Can it be used for reloading like any other...

Last Sunday morning, I shot a black coyote while deer hunting. It was a male, and weighed 55#. I'd heard there had been sightings of black coyote's in the area, but had never seen one before. It was very healthy looking, beautiful coat and tail. Question for the coyote hunters and trappers out...

I just found out, from a friend, about a possible inherrant problem with Browning Gold shotguns. He was at our favorite gunshop looking at semi-auto shotguns to purchase one. A couple of used Browning Gold 3-1/2" shotguns that he looked at had wear on the reciever at the bottom of the ejection...

Hub City Rifle & Pistol Club is seeking members. The facility includes 100, 200, & 300 meter rifle range, a 75 yard pistol line, and a trap field. Their is a new roof up over the rifle line, and the pistol line will get a roof this fall, hopefully. The club has received a grant from the Friends...

Here is a picture of my new automatic case sizer. It's my 13 year old daughter, Marissa, helping me out by running a batch of freshly cleaned, .45ACP through the sizer die. She was bored, so I said I could find her something to do; I didn't think she would do it for as long as she did, she did a...

Last week I purchased my first 1911 handgun, a "new-to-me" Springfield Armory 1911-A1. It is one of the "Loaded" models. Over the weekend, shooting it for the first time, I had a problem with the Novak rear sight "walking" as I shot. It is dovetailed into the slide, with a setscrew to lock it...

8/14/04 After sighting in the new red-dot sight on my Ruger .44 carbine, I took a night-time, four-wheeler ride at the deer lease, looking for wild hogs. Didn't see any hogs, but I did run into this guy coming towards me on a cow path, down a pipeline. He stopped, I stopped, he stared into the...

My latest gun project was to take my Ruger .44 Carbine, which I have owned for over twenty years, and customize it by turning it into a scout rifle. I originally had set it up with a shotgun type Bushnell 2.5x scope, mounted on see through rings, for deer hunting. My plan was to have a red-dot...

On or around the middle of January 2004 I brought my Ruger .44 carbine to my gunsmith. My idea was to have built a custom "scout" mounted red-dot/ghost ring sight rifle, perfect for hunting hogs at my lease, and deer at woods ranges. Scope of work: 1) Make custom mount for red-dot sight ("scout"...

I've recently decided that I needed to find out the date of manufacture, or ship date of all the guns in my collection which were not bought new. Most have been fairly easy to find on the internet, but my S&W K-17-2, Sn. K734XXX has proven to be harder to get. Please help if you can. Thanks

My current custom rifle project, which is in the works, as we speak: I'm having a custom scout mount fabricated (similar to AO Express for Marlin 336) for my Ruger .44 Deluxe Carbine, circa 1970. The base will be made from picatinny rail bar stock, and I will use quick detachable, back-to-zero...
