I posted a thread a little while ago about looking at an Ithaca 87. I liked it so much that I bought it, and was offered another one at a very low price with the one caveat that it had some trouble feeding. It is also an Ithaca 87 Featherweight in 20 gauge. The problem is that the little fins...

A friend offered a friend and myself a pair of shotguns, and gave us what seems to be pretty good prices on them. They are a Franchi 48 AL Deluxe 12 Gauge and an Ithaca 87 Featherweight 20 gauge. My friend is interested in the Franchi, I am partial to the Ithaca. First, I would like to...

That slow, steady accumulation of firearms has ensured that I am now in need of (another) gun safe, and of course this happens at such a precarious time such as this, right before the election, when I have been occupied with buying more guns and ammo. As it stands, I have several safes- they...

Just got some stuff from the Brown truck of happiness (well, it was Fedex, but whatever) and was pleased to note that my new set of .223 dies from Lee has a flat box as opposed to a rounded one. Is this a new thing for Lee? I like it, if it is. That is the only thing I didn't like about their...

Was just browsing the website for J&G Sales when I came upon this http://www.jgsales.com/product_info.php/p/8x56r-bulgarian-ammo%2C-fmj%2C-wwii-era%2C-50-rounds-/products_id/1685?osCsid=15497d36b3f047cc115ed8acaae189e0 That's 8X56R ammo, at a not-unreasonable price. I know many members...

For the purpose of the discussion, let's say "new" is the last decade or so. I'll say .17 HMR.

Did anybody see on the news how these went today? I'm curious as to whether their attendance records were as dismal as the last time they tried this. I haven't seen a thing about it in the local news.

Went to price some shotshells today... was unpleasantly surprised (if you can call higher ammo prices a surprise anymore :( ). Walmart is over $20 a 100-pack now for the promo stuff, and that's what I enjoy knocking skeet down with most anyway. So I guess its time to drag out the MEC and get...

Just curious if anyone has one, some pictures, or experiences with them that they would like to share. I am seriously in love with the looks of this gun, but I'm a far cry from being able to afford one :p What do you think of them? Do they handle heavier loads well? Do they point and shoot...

I'm looking for an interesting load for the .243 Winchester. I haven't been really happy with the performance of some of the 100 grain factory PSPs at longer ranges on whitetails, and most of my reloading experience with the cartridge is for fly-weight varmint bullets like the 55gr SBK. I'd...

Some of us take our friends who don't have any gun experience to the range, and I was wondering what you took. My thinking is that I want people to have a good time at the range, and not bore them to death with paper targets and a single shot .22. Much as I enjoy plinking with a .22, it's not...

I've been loading up some cast bullets for my SKS, and try as I might I can't get any sort of group out of them. I'm using the Lee 155 Grain bullet, which is the same as one NEI made, IIRC, and 2400 powder (14.8 grains cycles perfectly). Any decrease in charge leads to malfunctions, and at...

Anybody ever dealt with these guys before? I'm having an order placed with them for an AES-10B on monday and was wondering if I should spring for the faster shipping... I'd like to have it here by this coming weekend, in case society breaks down or something. How quickly do they ship?

I was looking at getting ahold of a Century CETME, and while the buzz so far as reliability is concerned isn't that great, I would just like to have a "beater" .308 semi-auto. I've shot them in the past and been favorably impressed. What parts of the CETME interchange with HK91, PTR91 or...

Just curious if anyone has tried to put a .460 Rowland conversion on a RIA 1911. I hear that some of the Phillipine 1911s have a heat-treat process used on them that is not sufficient to take the beating the .460 dishes out, but I have heard nothing but good things about the RIAs, aside from gun...

Anyone know what the story is with these guys? I know that they are part of or related to Vulcan/Hesse, but I have heard that they are LMT uppers, Wilson Barrels (Like many J&Ts, for instance), and military bolts. I would be using a DPMS lower for these, so I'm not considering buying a Vulcan...

I figure that I've probably got 5000 or better rounds of ammo stored away somewhere in my house. Maybe 1000 7.62X39, 800 .303, several 300 round cases of 7.62X54R, a few boxes of GP11, and well over a case of .22 (I'm not counting it as part of my stash, even if it is part of it). I've got a ton...

Was wondering if you all had any experience with these. I've been wanting a nice .45-70 for quite a while, and these fit the bill, aesthetically, anyway. What did you pay for yours, and does it have any loads it particularly likes, or a cast bullet it uses well? I'm not looking to get into...

I was doing some informal plinking with my 91/30 yesterday, and had a rather scary experience. It bears mentioning that a friend shooting with me had some problems- he would chamber a round, and the gun would somehow fail to cock, or come uncocked, but the bolt cycled fine, with only a hint...
