mods, I have not been around here for a while, if this is not allowed here just whack it. Thanks I have a really nice Ted Williams 30-30 Model 100 from Sears in the 70s. There is very small spot of rust where water must've gotten under the side scope mount. Being a lefty that's the first thing...

Has anyone ever successfully gotten through to Taurus customer service? Got a inside contact? Guess I don't know the password, total time on hold today was 47 minutes and all I am looking for is a manufacture date. The serial number look-up on their website does not cover a tired old Model 82.

Hello, I have a beater of a Taurus 82, vintage unknown but I believe we a talking about an "old style" version. This gun is not worth much and it's more of a plaything. It was spitting a little lead from what I believe was a sloppy lock up. The only other revolver I have on hand for comparison...

Had a few wheelguns, ( like 3) in my life. I have successfully had them apart and back together but I still might use terms like doohickey and thingamajig. How much wiggle is too much for a cylinder stop? I have a true beater of a .38 caliber Taurus model 82 as a plaything and test...

I am looking for parts for an old style (pre 99?) Taurus model 82 4” 38 cal revolver. Mostly I am looking for a good cylinder, ejector and yoke assembly but I’d take everything except the frame. Thanks

I have been struggling trying find a carry gun for my wife. She is definitely comfortable with the 4" Ruger SP101 she has for a bedside piece and when range shooting. I guess my question is, as far as stubbies go, what is most popular, a shrouded or exposed hammer??

Loaded this from my phone, we'll see how that works out... I like shooting my levers and they are quite manageable but in another thread I posted about some 2000 fps 405 gr rounds from my 45/70. That's a wake up call. This Decelerator pad is supposed to be for my JM Marlin 1895cb but you can see...

So, I have not hunted since about 1979 but I love shooting a lever gun, My largest bore is a Marlin 1895cb in 45-70. I have rounds on hand for 405gr @ 1200 fps and 325gr at 1800. I just ordered a box of 405gr Buffalo Bore at 2000 fps. This is going to leave a mark isn't it? :)

Hoping there are folks from Illinois here. In the coming weeks I am going to have to drive from MI to and thru IL a couple times. The first trip will be thru Chicago. Since my MI CPL is not honored in IL I will have to go from carrying to transporting it. I will be driving a pickup truck...

I see if often stated that it's lax gun laws in the neighboring states around Chicago IL that allow so many gun crimes in Chicago. Do the criminals in Chicago simply have to drive across State lines to get firearms? The point that I really want to choke the snot out of some folks comes when...

Morning, I am looking for responses to "if you are doing nothing wrong who cares if the "government" knows what you own. I am so sick of seeing that comment. - Mark

Folks I have never shot wadcutters but the ones I have seen would be like a LRN just with a flat nose. Today I was given a box of .38 special wadcutters where the entire slug is sank into the case. It is possible the case is longer than LRNs I am used to, I can't compare them tonight because I...

I was as a gun show today and happened to look at what I thought was a Ruger LCR in .22lr. After I picked it up I saw the tag said .22 mag. How does .22 magnum perform in the shorter barrel of something like an LCR? I would expect it to be extremely loud (.357 loud?) but is it as effective as...

Folks, I have an old Wards Hercules single shot 12 gauge from Dad that a machinist buddy made a firing pin for. I carried this thing for years when I was a kid. Touched a couple off tonight and it works fine but the question came up as to what material one should be using to make firing pins...

Howdy, I know I have read threads on this before but I am coming up empty with the search function (most likely using it wrong) I am looking for good arguments to use when someone says "... then I suppose you want a bomb or grenade launcher too.." If this topic is not allowed, no sweat...

I am fortunate in that I can choose to carry most calibers from .380 to full size .45acp. More often than not I stick my .380 LCP in my pocket or belt. I would like a slim single stack 9 and have been thinking about the LC9S. I have handled LC9 and hated the trigger. I understand this is...

I am an open site shooter and an optics newb. I would appreciate some input. I am considering something for my Colt AR. At 50 yards the 2" dots I use for bullseyes are pretty fuzzy through the peep. I can stay on em but it's a struggle. I would like an optic that clears that up and might be...

Some time ago I acquired a 12g Benelli Nova in realtree camo as collateral for a small loan. Time is running out for the owner to make a decision, either pay me back or let the gun go. I have a potential buyer but I don't know these guns, pretty sure he doesn't either. To me this Nova looks...

I have longed for a Marlin 1895cb .45/70 and finally got an 01 a week or so ago. I also picked up three different loads then bad weather and a stupid hectic schedule got in my way for a few days. Finally I said screw it. I really should have done this on a bench or at least some sand bags...

Folks, Today I took delivery of an 01 Marlin 1895cb, 26" barrel. I have no experience with this rifle or round, it just intrigues me, Frankly all levers intrigue me. I have several over the counter loads coming in the mail. 405 gr flat point lead @ 1250 fps - Blackhills 300 gr semi jacketed...
