During my first week at a new job as a heavy duty mechanic I was told to change the wheel seal and brake shoes on the rear of a Mack. Took the duals off, got everything cleaned up, replaced the seal and shoes, put the drum and duals back on, dressed up the axle cap just so, bolted it on and...

I loved my P-32 until the day the trigger fell out and the thing locked up with a round in the chamber. I sent it back and the customer service was excellent, perfect. It came back days later and I traded it along with a Phoenix .22 auto toward a real gun. Action, reaction. That's nature.

The best.

I just bought a bunch of reloading equipment from a buddy and included was a jug of trap 14 powder. I cannot find a thing about it. Does anyone have any 10 gauge loading data using it?

The parts: Springfield Armory XD9 4" -very clean Handloaded 147 gr. bullet once fired brass 3.5 grains of Unique, new container, just opened it CCI primers Over all length- 1.058" chronographed speed: @956 fps The whole: A target full of keyholes- I mean bullets going through...

Odd situation He did put a wicked heavy crimp on the bullet. If the priming ram were in place when he seated the bullet with this heavy crimp could the primer simply be forming to the ram head? Again, are they safe to fire? It's definately not an illusion, you can feel it.

update He's using 8gr. of Red Dot. My mistake.

My buddy just showed me some .45 Colt he handloaded and the Winchester primers he used are bulged out a little in the center like a little volcano. Are they safe to fire? It is not a compressed load, he used cast bullets and I think Blue Dot. The only thing I can think of is he crimped them...

I got a beautiful holster from Bob Mernickle for my .44 Alaskan.

I was at a gun show this weekend and I saw a Mauser C-96 Red NIne with a label that read, " Treaty of Versailles barrel modification." It was a bit shorter in length than the others in the case. Were barrel lengths determined by this treaty? Why?

MK11, do you recall how scared sh#$less Clarisse was? Also; note the painfully slow reload in the dark under stress. MKM11 calls it "frantic". To say the least! Wasn't it soon after that time period the FBI went to automatics with hi-cap mags? Did that scene make any of you change your mind...

Happy new year! Does anyone know where I can find a handy chart listing the model numbers and frame size/ letter for Smith and Wesson revolvers? Particularly the model 25. Thank you.

Similar... there was a Cypress Hill song called "Cock the Hammer" all about a Glock... They should have called the song "Set the Striker" but I guess it doesn't have the same ring to it. "Ever heard a Glock go click like a camera?" No, and neither have you. There is a movie called...

270win, That name brings me back to when I mowed lawns all summer to buy my dad a Weatherby Vanguard VGL in .270 ... Memories... So any way dealers will tell you what you want to hear when you want hear it, did Russian rifles burn out or up in minutes during WWII? I doubt it. With the...

I love it when the catalogs call the ammo, "mildly corrosive". Really? Isn't that like being "mildly pregnant"? I've never shot the Pakistani ammo, so I can't say. Best to use a friends rifle to test it out. Bwahahahaha!:evil:

Look, all of you guys who do your own car repairs, ask the guy behind the parts counter if there is a "silver box" or a "second line" when making your parts purchases. They are often the same parts in a different box for a third the cost. How do I know? It's what I do all day. Don't be...

Many years ago my father gave me a an XTR Featherweight in .243. I've been researching the line recently and have read many discouraging words about the accuracy of this rifle. First, is it true that they are less accurate than other model 70's? And second, why? I'll admit, I've never...

Listening to Bill O'Reilly tonight I heard a story about a cab driver in Charlotte who shot a shotgun wielding bad guy. Very surprising to hear on national news. Anyone out there sensing a relaxation in media coverage? I'm getting a little nervous...

I'm with Glockamolie, I work in the auto parts industry and we all have our "whack jobs" building a "sick Honda with 400 hp and 350 ft lbs of torque!" I also have to hear about the deer hunters who took a charging bull moose at 300 yards using Grandpa's old Savage 99, blah, blah, blah, on...

I love my Alaskan .44 mag. It's easy to shoot, no, pleasurable to shoot even with the stiffest of magnum loads. Yes, hand-loading for this snubbie is cool, you can toy around with the largest and mildest of both special and magnum loads. The other thing about the Alaskan is the range...
