Most average people would be amazed at that kind of shooting, but you're talking to a bunch of people who spend their time on the internet talking about guns, so not too surprising everybody says "I could do that/I do that all the time" etc. I shot a bunch of Metallic Silhouette matches with a...

He can come back and ship it to himself (his new address) or he can come back and get it and bring it back with him. Two trouble-free law-breaking ways are: you can drive it down to him, or have a friend going that way deliver it to him.

Taking it apart is easy, it's putting it together that's hard! Joking, it's only hard the first couple times. Believe me, it does get easier with practice! Hard to remember that when the bolt won't come back (again.) But it does take a few repetitions until one gets the hang of it...

This is for a bullseye-type gun. Need a "Centerfire" round between .32 and .38. (NO .45!) Looking at 1911s in both .38 Super and 9mm Lugar (9x19) as well as the S&W Model 952 in 9x19. Prefer the 1911 because I'm already familiar with them, have one in .45. But between the .38 Super...

I replaced my Kimber plastic checkered mainspring housing with a Quality Colt serrated plastic mainspring housing. Costs $6 from Brownells. You could find replacement Kimber checkered housings easily, because so many folks change them out. I did too, but it turns out I like the plastic's...

You probably know this 45crittergitter, but the .30-40 was so named because of a convention used for naming blackpowder cartidges (such as the .45-70) where the first number is the caliber, and the second number is the grains of powder in the case. Sometimes a third number was added which is...

I have a couple of Target Mark II Rugers (Gov't Model, and MK678 Target model), and have tried several brands, like all the ones pictured. What I use now, to shoot NRA Bullseye with, is CCI Mini-Group. They are "standard velocity" (which is sub-sonic), reliable, accurate, relatively...

The marvel costs the same as the Ruger basic Target model (MK678), I have both. If you have a 1911 with a decent trigger, that's what I'd recommend. Changing the grip angle to the Ruger takes some getting used to. The Marvel takes NO getting used to, and the Ransom rest test target that...

Thanks, good idea! Sounds easy and workable... I'm new to reloading rifle rounds, and still sort of scared of the dies, process, and all, and, I guess, not particularly creative anyway.

I got some 150 grain LSWC bullets in .45-70 that are supposed to be for "gallery" practice and plinking. But my Hornady seating die won't seat them deep enough. The bullet is about half the length of a 405 grain. The seater needs to push them down about .085" further. Anybody else load...

I like shows, I go to as many of them as I can, usually once every other month or so. See the same table guys a lot of times. Sometimes they remember me, usually not. Haven't found any real bargains, but it's just SO much more efficient to just pay the $7 and have the equivalent in front of...

Liberty bullets has them: http://www.libertyshootingsupplies.com/html/handgun_bullets.html There are a couple other places too, but I can't find the links. (Try a google search!)

Have tried both, and muffs alone. After winding up with five pairs of muffs, the best deal is the Pro Ears Magnum model, with the GI-style orange plugs. Like mentioned earlier, the low-level sounds are amplified by the electronic Pro Ears, so that you can hear everything, even throught the...

Recently acquired a 7x57 Remington Rolling Block rifle. Want to load some "lighter" loads, with cast bullets. Heaviest I can find (pre-made) is 140 gr. bullets, but haven't bought them yet. They also have 130, and 115. I already have IMR-4198 powder, and the Remington cases. Can...

CA Weapons & Ammo is at 2323 S EL CAMINO REAL. Just north of the Hillsdale shopping mall. Two freeway exits down is Imbert & Smithers, which is where I went instead. They have their less-well-educated behind-the-counter-folks too, but they never kicked me out. A couple of the guys there...

Here's one, from California Weapons & Ammo in San Mateo, CA. I'd already bought a used police 870 at this store, the owner even sent me a "christmas card" flyer the year before this. It's the closest shop to where I was working at the time. Went in with a pocketful of cash, looking for...
