Hello, I can't tell if they are any good or not. I gained a first and lasting impression from their inability to respond to two simple email queries, sent to both their listed email addresses. I sent $1500 in ammo business elsewhere. Best/Bowwave

Backorder Problems Hello, Will mirror what others said about backorder problems. Interestingly, they also charged my credit card for all items. It took several emails, and finally a phone call, to have the debit returned to my card account. I've dealt with much better. Best/Bowwave

Hello, I have a 442 and would like to join. I hope this forum is color-blind. Great little gun and for whatever reason, I found I could put the rounds where they need to go without too much practice. I suck with some guns but not this one. It's the gun that's always with me (unless...

Over 30 years, I've migrated from #1, to 00, to finally 000. I like the way 000 patterns in my 870s. I also alternate slugs. Those "pattern" nicely too out to about 50 yds or so...

Remington 000 (eight pellets) works well in my 870p w/20 inch barrel. Besides the nice tight pattern, I can count on impressive results at POI...

yes, Nematocyst, I'm a Squid, but run aground in Iraq a second time...back home in March...

Count Me In Hello, "New Member" but middle aged with firearms. My first "serious" rifle was a 70's era 336. Really wasn't keen with the flip up/down rear leaf sight. Removed that and added a Williams receiver "peep" sight. Really works well, but it has been years since I've shot it and...

Hello, My first large bore rifle was a 336. Got it in 79. Did not like the rear leaf sight - seemed a bit flimsy and moved around the top of the barrel. Put a Williams received sight on instead. Sturdy, functional and maintained the gun's gorgeous lines. Haven't looked back. Does what I...

PMI and Masen Hello, Don't know if PMI or Masen are made any longer but they've worked for me. Also I fortunately thought to buy a factory 30 rounder back in 1981 when I first got my Mini-14. Best/Bowwave

Hello, I have one. Fits nice and shoots well. I put a Leupold 4x12 on it. I can confidently take squirrels at 100 yards and groundhogs out to 200 yards, depending on wind. That's all I require. No buyers remorse and no "upgrades" planned. Also, it makes me look like I know what I'm...

Parkerizing an option? Hello, This isn't answering your question but I'm taking a chance it may be relevant. I had a 25 year old MK II with similar issues. Rather than have it reblued, I parkerized it. Turned out great and was easy to do. Dissasembled and soaked the pieces in some rust...

Springfield 1911A1 (Un)Loaded First foray into 1911s. Thought it would be last. Special order - upon inspection, tool marks abundant. Addressed that. Extractor improperly tensioned. Fixed that. Cranky with various mags, including factory. I got concerned. Customer service non-existent...

5' 11'' 175 +1 Bullseye10x. I can tuck a BHP as he describes using a quality IWB and belt. I have somewhat large shoulders and the weapon disappears with most shirts, even t-shirts. Not all t-shirts work, but I have several wide in the shoulders and waist that hang just right and don't...

Thanks! Thanks for the info. That's very useful. I'll keep you informed if I have any problems. Bowwave

Hello, I ordered a new Gold Cup Trophy (Blue) for when I return from the Middle East. Colt appears to use the Champion (formerly Elliason) model 860-301 rear sight. Any opinions/experience with this sight? Some questions that come to mind - Is it durable (I'll use standard pressure 230 gr...

No Response Hello, I sent them a note, more query than complaint. I actually wanted a response. I noted that while yahoos may exist such as that depicted in the cartoon, I've never met one in the NRA. No response. I actually buy their paper, but won't again until they become more...

Yikes! Hello, I have a house on the outskirts of Staunton where I will move permanently when I retire from the Navy. I sent the paper a note registering my concerns. Foremost, I won't subscribe to a paper that engages in that sort of biased recklessness. As some have mentioned, I doubt...

336 Drop-in stocks Hello, Glad I found this thread. Please allow me to join the club. I was thinking about rehabilitating my early 80's 336 when I return on R&R this fall. The furniture is beat up (and was not particularly pretty to begin with) and I don't want to mess with trying to...

Weighing in Late Hello All, I'm serving in Iraq and just recently joined this forum. I've rarely seen a man called to account so thoroughly (and publicly) for his business failings and felt a strong need to provide another data point, however tardy. Please just accept this as my experience...

Hello I'm relatively new to this forum and have not posted previously. I'm serving in Iraq and can't indulge my usual recreational shooting (but can take a break now and then as a voyeur on a few of these fora). Anyway, I appreciate the information on the ranges in Staunton. I am from...
