    Soliciting thoughts on the Sig/Sauer SP2022

    I am considering purchasing a Sig/Sauer SP2022 in 9mm Parabellum mostly for target shooting and self-defense/camping/hiking. Now don't laugh, but, the reason I am looking at this particular hand gun is because I am a huge fan of the Jason Bourne three-movie series (in which the SP2022 figures...

    My very first...

    Lee, I just got off the phone with Remington and they said the shot gun was manufactured in 1976. The rep said the shot guns made back then were just of awesome quality and had a lot of TLC put into their manufacture. She said it would have originally come with a high gloss walnut stock with...

    My very first...

    MAX100, Yes, I just recently shot a few slugs through the shot gun and I found the CAA stock saddle did provide a very nice cheek weld :D. I also am glad that the set up has a telescopic butt stock as I whacked my cheek on the cartridge holder on the right side (yes, I am a "South Paw") on...

    My very first...

    Lee, Damn you're good, you had the barrel pegged at 20" on the nose :eek:. The seller told me it was 18" and I saw no reason to check. Speaking of Louis Awerbuck, so where can I find a copy of "The Combat Shotgun"? Also, not to worry, I am not one for just taking pretty pictures. I'll...

    Dave, I will be more than happy to report on how she shoots as soon as I load up on some slugs and 00-shot :D. Tim P.S. - No insult taken with the cute "cute" remark ;).

    My very first...

    Yeah!, my very first shot gun has just arrived and with beautiful weather I thought I would take and share a few snap shots :D. This is a Remington Wingmaster Model 870 shot gun that has been "tactical-ized" by addition of a 18" sighted slug barrel, a parkerized finish, extended magazine...

    Question for any NY firearms owners

    I too live in NY (upstate just outside Albany) and want confirmation or refutation of the fact that a bayonet lug on a VZ-58 rifle is not legal in the state. I have heard they are not, but, just want to be certain of my facts. I will probably follow up with a call to the NY ATF branch on...

    Camo painting project - Suggestions for improvement welcome

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I have decided to follow up on the advice and add a little more khaki and brown. I also will try deleting the "blue" which actually is the gray of the primer coat. I am learning that it is much more challenging to camo paint a rifle using the female stencils...

    Camo painting project - Suggestions for improvement welcome

    Well, over the past few days I took on a camo painting project using my Savage Model 12FV rifle, Krylon Ultra Flat Camouflage Fusion paint, and digital tiger stripe stencils from TacticalCamo. Here is how it looks so far. I am generally pleased with how it came out...

    Show me your 45's

    I have two photos to contribute. The first is of my 1918-manufactured S&W Model 1917 .45 ACP revolver with a mix of WWI and WWII accessories including a 1942 TEXTAN holster. And the second is a 2004 Czechoslovakian CZ97B .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol with a BLADETECH DOH Kydex holster...

    reloading 8mm on a progressive press

    Fred, Yes, your post helps a whole lot :) . If I might ask, what die set are you using for reloading the 8mm? I am looking at a Lee three die set on eBay that I may try to win (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260101051210). Do you think that this is a reasonable set to...

    reloading 8mm on a progressive press

    I am relatively new to reloading and have had great success with my handloads for a 9mm and .45 ACP pistol using a Hornady Pro-jector progressive press. Now I would like to start reloading for an 8mm Mauser rifle. As I understand, a single stage press is preferred for rifle reloading, but...

    My new CZ97b RSR Special

    Same issue, different possible explanation "I did have a few failures to feed but I blame is not on the action or design, but a faulty magazine catch. Mine is REALLY sensitive and barely touching it will release the magazine. A few times I'd accidentally release the magazine and because the mag...
