Hi guys! I grabbed a chunk of something (Purple heart? Bubinga? Wenge?) the other day at Rockler cuz it looked cool. The plan is to wafer out a bunch of 1911 grips. Are they all the same (Colt, Springfield, STI, Kimber, etc.) in terms of size, dimentions, placement of screw holes, etc...

Needs a new piston ring. Checked the usual suspects (Brownells, Numrich, etc.). No luck. Will any other piston ring work for this gun? Does an 1100 have the same ring? also need an extractor assembly. $44? Are they serious?

Minnesota: Anti-Gun Bill Moving Forward Unless Your State Representative Hears from You! A bill that will criminalize the private transfer of handguns and certain semi-automatic rifles at gun shows will likely be heard this week or next in the House Rules Committee. House File 285, introduced...

Having an issue with the Dead Length Bullet Seating Die. It's a bit wobbly, even when it's screwed down to the desired depth, and I'm not getting consistent lengths. The thing just doesn't have that "tight" feel that all my other dies have. I'm talking about the adjusting screw - that's the part...

Hi folks. I'm considering adding a Steyr L-A1 to my collection. Please share youre experiences with this firearm. I fiddled with a couple at the gun store the other day, and loved the look and feel. One of the two that I played with had a sloppier trigger than the other. It also had...

Hi folks! I'm selling a shotgun from MN to MI. I know it has to be received in Michigan by an FFL, but that's ALL I know :o Could someone who's done this a few times explain the process to me? It's a relatively high value gun. My inclination is to just go to an FFL here in Minnesota and...

Anybody with cz52 experience wanna chime in here? I just got my first. The bottom plate fell off the mag twice at the range today (spring fell out as well). Stayed close to home (at my feet), but still a little disconcerting. Is this a common thing?

I've been reloading for a few years now on a single-stage (RCBS) press. I get how it works and am confident with the process. Time to step things up:) Cabela's has the Lock-N-Load five station on sale for $380. Should I get that? Most of what I do is 9mm, 45acp, 38spl, 40s&w and some (but...

Is this a gun that is available at gun stores once in a while, or is it primarily an on-line firearm? I came across an unbelievable deal on ammo for it but have no handgun to shoot it with:( If it's pretty limited to on-line sales, could somebody smarter than me point to a good deal or two...

The firing pin channel (with the pin in it) felt a little too gritty and sticky, so I pushed out the retaining pin, then my finger slipped off. The firing pin and a spring went sailing across the room. I had never taken this apart before. Did I miss anything? is there still a piece somewhere...

I found this: http://www.imrpowder.com/data/handgun/trailboss-feb2005.php but can't find confirmation. My manuals predate this powder (they were made before donuts became gunpowder). Can anyone confirm a safe starting load (and a max load) for TB with 158gr. lswc? I'll start at 2.7, then...

I have a couple thousand magnum sp primers that I got stuck with during the shortages. Can I use them to make 38 spl if I only shoot them out of a gun designed for 357 mag.? The gun is an EAA Windicator. The powder would be Bullseye (probably 3.1 grs.). I might also use Trail Boss if I can...

There was a thread quite some time ago that contained a link to two documents that a person could ask a doctor to sign if the doctor asked questions about guns/firearms storage/possession. The docs were in PDF format (I think). Does anyone have the link or remember the source? Sorry if...

Hi folks! I'm looking for a range toy in 357. I was hoping to get by on the cheap. Is an EAA 357 TOO cheap? http://www.eaa-guns.com/item/2874_EAA_Hand_Guns_Pistols_EAA_WINDICATOR_357MAG_2_B.aspx It would get a primary diet of 38spl. with a fair amount of 357 thrown in for good...

Do I have to pull these and trash the brass? It did it to three out of 100 40 s&w rds. I thought there was plenty of bell, but I must have been wrong (unless something else causes this?). Anyway, do I have to pull them? They load in the bbl. o.k.

Hi guys, I need a 357. I've been shopping around, but I just can't make up my mind. Looked at a S&W mod. 66 today ($399 used). Also looked at a Taurus 66 ($420 new). The Taurus took one more in the wheel. This'll be my first center-fire revolver (have lots of autos). Am I looking in...

Sorry. Double-pump. Don't know how to delete my own thread.

I'm from MN. Do I need a permit/license to hunt yotes in the cheese state? I've got a friend with access to some primo land with yotes aplenty (so I'm told). TIA for any help!

Anybody know this gun? Is it a known platform with a store-brand stamped on? I recently aquired one from my father-in-law and would like to know more about it. Oh yeah, it's a .22lr, r and short. TIA for any response.

I was at Gander Mt. today. They had a 1911 (which looked amazingly similar to the High Standard right next to it) that was labeled as a "Kahr 1911A1". It didn't say Kahr anywhere on the gun. Is this a Kahr, or is there a stock-boy at Gander who thinks he's funny?
