I am going to go one of these routes to get a Ar15-mag fed semi-auto rifle. I just haven't decided which one yet. If I build an AR I will likely use an Anvil Arms lower receiver and either a Del-Ton or Model 1 kit. That is unless I am able to find a kit builder that will build me an A1 16"...

I have been reloading for a few years now and would really like to get started casting by own bullets as well. This is just as much an extension of my reloading as it is to save money. I tried to go to castboolits.com, but I was unable to get to their site. I am trying to get into this...

I bought a P&R model 19 from a local shop a few months ago. Took it to the range to test fire it and all was well, both DA and SA. A few weeks later I shot it in a local IDPA match and everything went haywire. First there was a squib (my fault on that one), then I started having multiple...

I have an alloy framed government model and one of the grip screw bushings has stripped out. It was giving me a little bit of trouble before so I tried loctiting the bushing and not trying to he-man it when I tightened the bushing down. Now when I try to remove the grip screw the bushing and...

....with me. A year or so ago I found myself in the unique position of not having a Glock anywhere in my collection. For me that was very unusual as when I first started shooting, I was a hard-core glocksarethebest fanboy if you'd ever seen one. Over the course of time, I have slowly...

I have a Springfield Lightweight Loaded Bi-Tone that somes equipped with an ambi-safety. I kind of like the ambi feature, but buying grips is made more diffficult by the presence of the safety. The main issue is the dogleg (for lack of a better term) that comes out from the bottom of the...

Despite growing up in the south, I have never been a hunter. My grandfather hunted when he was much younger, but had pretty much quit by the time I was old enough to go. Now I have a son of my own and want to get started hunting so that I can teach him, but unfortunately I don't really know or...

I found one of these at a local pawn shop for $150 and was intrigued to say the least. I was surprised by how light and handy it seemed to be and the 5 (?) round magazine seemed to be sufficient considering this is the same capacity as a lever gun. For the price, would this be a good deal...

I have had this rifle for about two years and have shot various surplus thru it with no issues. The last time I took it out I was shooting S&B's 200 gr SP load thru it trying to get it sighted in with the new Mojo sight. I policed up my brass when done and didn't give it a second thought until...

I was browsing around a local firearms shop yesterday and come upon a SW Model 27 with a 3.5" barrel. The finish is a deep, glossy blue and it does not appear to be a re-finish as all of the rollmarks are clear and bright. The checkering on the barrel and topstrap is flawless and the DA pull...

Tuner, Fuff, etc. please chime in.. I recently bought a Springfield Loaded Lightweight Bi-Tone 5" and absolutely love it. This is my primary carry pistol and has been impressive in terms of fit, finish, and accuracy (3" at 25yds. if I am having a good day). The only reliability bobbles have...

OK, well these are not exactly my first reloads, but if you look at my thread talking about my experiences with my SA Lightweight Bi-Tone in the Semi-Auto forum, you will understand. I shot all 50 rounds out of a 5" Springfield Armory Loaded Lightweight Bi-Tone that is bone stock. Distances...

I recently acquired a Springfield Armory Lightweight Bi-Tone 1911 for use as a carry gun and was abel to take it to the range this past saturday. The Good News- it was reliable with almost everything I fed it. This included about 200 rounds of Speer Blazer Brass 230gr. FMJ, Winchester WB...

I recently bought a SA Loaded Lightweight model and was wondering if I could have a .38 Super top end built for it that could be switched out? My goal is to be able to just swap the barrel, complete slide and maybe the slide stop out and be able to go from .45ACP and .38Super without...

I found a Colt AR at a local shop for what seems to be a good price. What do you guys think? -Receiver is stamped Colt HBAR Match Target ( I think the Match part is in there somewhere) - 20" bbl. no bayo lug - A3 receiver with the removeable carry handle and rear sight - overall...

I noticed a 16.5" barreled lever gun at a local shop the other day and it kinda got my attention. It is chambered in .357mag and the barrel length makes for a very compact weapon. I was thinking of it as a range plinker and possible truck gun. The bluing is perfect and the aciton locks...

My wife stole my 642 from me about a year ago and ever since, I will take it out of her purse ( :cuss: :banghead: ) to clean and check it. A little over a week ago, I did this and while I was dry-firing it, the trigger got real balky all of a sudden. I realized that the cylinder would rotate...

I found an N Frame SW .38spl. at a local shop the other day and had some questions about it. Here are the details... -N Frame -6-Shot -4" barrel -.38spl. -Fixed sights -Nickel plated, about 75-80% condition, looks to be factory plated , but I can't say for sure. The shop says it is...

Is anyone here familiar with these? A local shop has a LNIB used one that has been on the shelf for the past few months. Every time I have been in there, the price has crept lower and lower. It is marked at $349 and comes with a cheap (China) scope that looks to be a 3-9x42 variable...

Where I work I am pretty well known for a being a gun guy and periodically I will get asked a question or someone will show off their new toy to me. The other day a supervisor here (not mine) was talking about a Ruger Single-Six .32 HR mag that he had just had re-blued and asked if I wanted...
