I'm wondering if anyone here has less than the complete set of fingers and is a shooter? All your experiences are welcome though the most relevant are if you lack a thumb. It's not for me I am asking but my newborn twin sons (identical) who have Holt Oram syndrome, which affects the...

I'm going to start reloading .223 with my own cast bullets pretty soon, I got a 65gr and 75gr design I am going to work on, I think the 75gr one will be more suited to my needs though, easier to work with heavier bullets and slower velocities. I am limited to VV powders where I am so I was...

Okay I am pretty sure I am going to just get this over with and firelap my revolver. I plan to write what I am going to do and if you guys got any pointers it'd be appreciated. I reamed the throats on this gun that where undersized and it reduced leading quite a bit. Still leads though and...

Anyone know what slip-on recoil pads there are out there that will fit on a Rossi 92 or Win 1892 levergun? I want to increase the length of pull on my gun and I have already squared off the buttstock by filling the semi-crescent with epoxy. To finish it off I would like a slipon buttpad for...

I got a problem here I think. Just got my first batch of N110 to load some 44mag with, been using N320 and N32C for CAS level loads before but now I wanted to try some magnum level loads so I got this 267gr intercast bullet thats listed in the Lapua load manual here...

Having a hard time choosing, been saving money since august to get my first semi-auto shottie and I want a Benelli. Problem is, I keep going back and forth between the Benelli M2 and M4. At first didn't like the look of the M2 but for some reason it has grown on me lately, though the forestock...

After developing a bulge near the muzzle I got afraid of shooting my 20" IC barrel, so I had it cut down to 18.5" and got a bead sight installed, also had it fitted for chokes. Problem is, now it looks line this :rolleyes: I am not sure what to do, swap someone for a +2 who wants a...

I couldn't reply to the original thread about guns in France anymore so I'm making this post. I read in the original thread that france had 19 million registered firearms, but according to the Small Arms Survey there are only 2.8 million registered firearms in France, but like 18-19 million...

I got this adapter here: It's a Mk2 adapter and I am trying to decide if I should keep it for my 870, or if it's worth selling it to fund my Benelli M4 purchase. It's been bead blasted and re-parkerized after those photos where taken.

So... I was expecting a NIB 1982 Rossi Puma in .44 mag... Well it's NIB and and as I specified otherwise. However upon opening the box I immediatly notice that it had rust, even light pitting where the wood for the forestock meets the barrel, it also seems to have a full buckhorn sight...

Got a .44mag Rossi carbine (20") incoming, thought I'd get it in the mail today but apparently not, maybe tomorrow. Still I already know I dislike buckhorn/semi buckhorn sights. I like peep sights on my rifles such as the AR and Win9422 that I just put a marble tang sight on. I'm not so sure...

I'm looking at some AGI videos of rust and nitre bluing and hot caustic bluing. I am currently building a bluing setup, thinking of hot caustic bluing. I had planned to do my 1911 with parking, but the caustic blung video got me interested in doing a matte finish with polished flats instead. I...

Looking for tips on how to polish a revolver cylinder. I got this book by John E. Traister on refinishing and it says hand polishing gives the best results, but it mentions no specifiks on polishing a revolver. I mean the cylinder has some pretty complex geometries and it looks like it could be...

I have an 870, I recently removed the rifle sight on it by using a propane torch, the sights themselves where glowing red hot before the soldering let go, the barrel was glowing around the area too a bit. I have not actually shot the gun since but I am not fearful I might have ruined the...

I'm currently going to send in a permit for a Smith & Wesson 629 Classic, you need permits in Finland for every gun, anyway I stumbled on this S&W M17-2 for 290 euros (maybe 350-380 USD): The store selling it claims good condition, circa 1500 shots through it. I've always wanted a S&W...

So I got a ding on one of my firearms (Remington 870), on the barrel to be precise. It's a tiny gouge in the metal, not very large but since I know of it my eye is drawn towards it all the time. Currently the gun is without finish, it's been bead blasted and is awaiting a parkerization job. But...

Hi! I got this tang sight and I don't know which gun it fits. It started with me ordering a sight set for my Winchester 9422 (base: 991020, screw: 995021), when I got it I noticed it did not fit my gun, the screws where so long that if mounted, they would have gone straight through my stock...

I'm looking at some 1892 levers, Rossi Pumas to be precise. I've kinda fallen for the 20" carbine model in .44mag, but I am wondering if the accuracy of the carbine is much worse than the rifle model in 24"? I know the carbine sights probably aren't as good but for this situation we can...

Okay heres the scoop. I've been looking for a .223 upper for my Spikes .22lr AR-15, it's sorta been the plan for a year now to go that way and build a versatile gun platform for competition and training. However I am in a bit of a pickle right now, most resellers are sold out of most AR stuff...

I am looking at buying a Cimarron 1873 rifle in .357 (you can see it here, but I doubt you can understand it ;) ) come summer for hunting and general fun. Now for the fun part I've decided I'd like to shoot blackpowder through it. I'd like to know more about reloading for blackpowder, from...
