Hello, I have been offered an Arisaka from an estate sale. The only thing the seller knows about it is that is is a 6.5. I know nothing of the rifle, or its condition. The seller is open to offers. What are the key things I should be looking for with this rifle when I view it? The rifle is at...

This is an honest question from a new shooter, could you explain to me why the removal of the mag disconnect a big deal? I understand the need to fire without a mag on a self defense weapon but on a 22 range gun why is it needed?

I have a Ruger MKIV Target blued model. I have read online that a lot people really rate either the TK or the VQ trigger upgrade kits. Apparently the trigger weight is dropped form 5lb to approx. 2lb with a much cleaner reset and it transforms the pistol. I am a little reluctant to jump in and...

I contacted ruger and they emailed asking for pictures. I sent pictures and they got back not 4 hours later saying a new cylinder has been shipped. Great customer service I shall not be dry firing this one

From the ruger manual

Here is a picture of the markings that are universal for each chamber. Almost like there is a mark or a burr. I have dry fired this. The manual specifically states that you can dry fire this pistol. I understand this is not the norm for rimfires typically. Could I have damaged the cylinder?

Thank you for your replies. I clean the cylinder using a brush and run it through a number of times with CLP. The cylinders look spotlessly clean afterwards. Maybe I am not using premium enough ammo. The CCI I using are standard velocity lead nose, I have noticed when I do force the round in...

A bit of an update. Still nothing, we called the game warden again who offered to take a trip with us to the store and collect whatever has been done, if anything. First though I am heading to the store myself. Hopefully this coming week.

Hello All, I have a Ruger 22 Wrangler. Whilst it is a great gun I do have trouble inserting rounds into the cylinder. Mainly there is a lot of resistance, to the point where I dare not force them anymore. I have cleaned the cylinders but have the same problem. I have tried the cheap stuff...

Fantastic looking gun. Well done!

I do have a (very) brief understanding of barrel harmonics. Your explanation is great, thank you for taking the time to write it for me and other beginner reloaders

I am constantly on the look out on the reddit reloading discord and in local stores. Right now all I have is the BLC-2, I am enjoying my reloading though even though it is not an ideal powder or one that is recommended much. I bought it because it the only one I could get in Cabelas at the time...

Thank you for your post and guidance. edit : i have added my answers to your questions within the quote body.

Over the weekend I went out and shot some more groups with my 308. I am looking for guidance on what to do next. These were some of my first reloads having only taken up the hobby a few months ago. Here is what I am using Powder : BLC-2 Projectile : Hornady 150gr Interlock BTSP I cannot find...

I was looking at this holster. I just searched by 'customer ratings' and it seems to have great reviews. Would this be an acceptable starting holster...

Unfortunately I did not go and check it out properly. It was incredibly windy here in West Texas that morning and I just assumed it would have been called off. I did go a little later and the competition did look like it was finishing off, but I did not talk to anyone or spend time checking it...

Thank you for all your comments. They have their first round this Saturday so I plan to go down as a spectator just to see how it all works. I will check out the holster and belt recommendations. Is there typically any sort of ammo restrictions, or is this dependent on the range? I was...

I have recently joined a local club and notice they run a IDPA competition. I watched a few videos and it looks fun and I would like to give it a try. I have a S&W M&P 2.0 9mm and 3 magazines. I note I will need a IDPA approved belt and holster, what are budget recommendations? I am trying to...

That is a very kind offer Darrin. I will certainly take you up on it and pay you what you need for it!

Thanks for the response Charlie98. I will hold out until I get some more appropriate powders.
