Get your GoogleFu going and find a 10/22 Deluxe Rifle from the days gone by when they were all steel and walnut. Get a pair of Ruger rings and a nice 4-14X40 scope with either an AO or side focus turret. The trigger should break clean at about 2.5# which isn't great, but good enough until they...

Oddly enough CCI Blazer 40gr lead round nose often works far better than its price might suggest. The last case ran me $176 delivered. It runs all my semi-autos flawlessly. My last case of fodder for the Anchutz was $1,900 plus shipping. Stupid expensive is almost an understatement.

I use paintballs on golf tees.

Drop the mag and rack the slide again. Often the reason for a misfire/failure to extract is that the lockup wasn't complete and the resulting excessive headspace caused a light hit by the firing pin. If that doesn't work, prying it out is not going to subject the rim to enough pressure to...

You might want to check the action screws too and run a brush through the bore until you get all the lead out of the barrel. Those micro-groove barrels don't have much of a purchase on the bullet to start with and the former owner may have "cleaned" his ammo in his pocket. You may have a...

... your ammo budget and your new gun budget are both maxed out for the month and your gunsmith calls with a lead on another gun and your wife tosses the checkbook to an account you didn't even know about to you and mentions that the car is low on fuel before you hang up.

Your 1893 Spanish Mauser should definitely be 7x57. Since you are still here and don't remember being blown up, I'd say the empiric evidence is that you DIDN'T fire 7.65x53 out of an 1893 before. Now it is possible that you had one of the later model short rifles that was actually chambered in...

The amount of weight savings is negligible and if you have enough mud, sand, snow or whatever on your rifle to need relief between the bolt and the receiver you have bigger problems than a little spiral fluting is going to address. Bottom line: it is as pointless as lipstick on a pig.

My Dad gave me a single shot .22 and a box of shorts for my 5th birthday. I borrowed a deer rifle until I was 12 and had enough summer job money to buy my own. We don't need regulations to infringe on an enumerated right. What we need is for the concept of personal responsibility to be...

Take her to the range and teach her to shoot, filter the BS out of the safety course and give it to her straight. Take her hunting and let her see what a bullet does to an animal. Remind her that it will do exactly the same thing to her or anyone else it gets pointed at because guns don't care...

If you're looking for a project, then locate someone near you who has the tools and has built some to host you and help you avoid the usual mistakes. If you are looking for a cheap AK, then building your own is no longer the best option. There's a lot of builders on AR15.com in their AK47 area.

Don't take your guns to town, boy. Leave your guns at home son. You are talking about AUSTIN, not some place where logical thinking and rights are regularly exercised. You won't get in the door. Or worse, you will get in and then be thrown out, probably into the waiting arms of APD whose...

If you are using a standard AK-style clamp, it indexes on the rear so designs with a square profile at the back will be easier on your clamp. SVD clamps index off a stop at the front and require a corresponding stop surface on the rail. As long as the rail and clamp are stop compatible they...

He's in Houston Texas. Open carry of a shotgun or rifle is entirely legal, open carry of a handgun on public property is not thanks to our Carpetbagger constitution. He is obviously well known by the HPD, so why they chose to engage him in the first place is a mystery. Is he being a total...

I had a newly received Vaquero at the local range Saturday and was having some POA/POI issues due to my grip not working well with the skinny top of the stock and putting too little trigger finger on the trigger. I was getting consistent hits about 3" left and in a decent, not great group all...

A .45/70 loaded to its potential gives up virtually nothing in practical terms to anything that has come since. Even at moderate pressures a heavy round nose or semi-wadcutter hardcast bullet will plow right through bone and tissue. Those worshipping at Roy Weatherby's Temple of High Velocity...

This is going down in Austin, nothing of what you know of the law is of any use to you. Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo and his goon squad sent a known Mexican Illegal WITH a Texas Driver's License to buy a legal FTF gun and in spite of that and the fact that the stoolie admitted in discovery...

The nominal bullet diameter for .44/40 is 0.427 (-0.0030). Some casters make bullets specifically for .44/40, others do not. Swaging standard .431 hard cast bullets is always an option.

Probably less of a mystery if you've ever shot a .35 Whelen. Here's a place to start: http://35cal.com/loading.html#750

8x52R Siamese Great shooter, oddball case, oddball bullet, dies that actually fit the chamber are hard to find, no reloading data, magazine fed rimmed Mauser, made in Japan, not a wildcat but no ammo was apparently ever imported so even though it is a standard military arm it is a cat-dog.
