For the record, modern handguns have been proscribed for civilian ownership since 1997 (apart from Northern Ireland). Fully automatic firearms have never been permitted for civilian ownership. Not that facts should ever get in the way of our prurient newspapers when concocting a non-story about...

If you're into black powder revolvers, then you must surely have seen Mike's excellent videos. He needs our help to fund a zoning appeal to preserve the right to shoot on his own property and bring us more shooting entertainment. So do chip in to the GoFundMe kitty and help fight petty local...

The other day I was shooting my Pietta 'Colt' Navy .36 using home cast balls, homemade wads (hat felt + tallow + beeswax) and 15 grains of black powder. A paper target mounted in a plastic holder was twenty-five yards away. Three shots in and I noticed the paper was rapidly getting darker...

I bought this loading stand some time ago, intending to use it with my two .44 BP revolvers.. The model is the ML948. However, when I came to use it I discovered it wouldn't work with my BP Cattleman nor the New Model Army. As you can see from the pictures: There is some kind of plastic pimple...

Just added Pietta's take on the Colt 1873 SAA for the UK market - a cap and ball revolver. Not historically accurate I know but we're limited in what we can buy in the UK since the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997 practically banned modern handguns. If we want a cartridge revolver it has to have a...

I was walking past my Pietta New Model Army .44 with a hacksaw one day and suddenly my barrel fell off. All I remember is a flurry of filing and the next thing I know is I had this lying on my bench:

I've just bought a new Saiga AK103 (I'm in the UK - so it's a straight pull bolt action - we can't have semi-auto above .22 here :( ). I'm looking at mounting a scope mount. Mooching around online I found someone selling replacement top covers with a weaver rail fitted and wondered if...

Has anyone bought and fitted a Stoner Float tube on their AR15? Are they any good and how easy are they to fit? I've been offered a new one cheap and am toying with the idea of getting it if they're up to the job.

I stumbled across this collection of old British rifle training videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT7kEMxSdZU Gotta love the old school Brit commentary. :)

ProMag Magazine AR-15 223 Remington 10-Round Steel Blue I'm thinking of buying a couple of these from Midway UK Are they any good? They're £20 a pop - roughly $30

I need to buy a spotting scope. At the very least i need to be able to easily see .223 holes at 200 yrds. I bought a reasonably cheap one years ago 65 dia mm lens with magnification from 2 to 60 X maginfication. To be honest it isn't quite up to the mark. Until a small group has formed it's...

I've never actually really bothered to interpret the markings on my Lee Enfield No.4 until today. The reason being that my rifle, whilst in excellent shape overall, has so many overstamping and proof marks that it's nigh on impossible to make out what they say - let alone chase down sources...

My wife just bought me this as a present. Don't know how the seller got away with it under their current pansy attitude to selling this sort of thing. It shoots tin cans up in the air for target practice. Anyone ever owned one? I was wondering how high they chucked them...

One of these has come up on guntrader (UK) and I'm rather taken with it. Has anyone got one and how are they to shoot? I'll be looking to shoot over between 25 to 50 yards maximum. It's going for £350 so it's not hugely expensive - just enough for disappointment to rear its ugly head if it...

I just bought a Lee bullet mold for casting 125 grain flat nose .357 bullets for putting through my Winchester 1894 carbine. The only place I'll be shooting these loads are on a 25 yard indoor range. We can only shoot lead rounds on this range and aren't allowed to use gas checks - so my loads...

Sorry - typo - that should, of course, have read Winchester .357 magnum 94AE cartridge lifters In the letter pages of this month's British NRA magazine there was a letter claiming that this rifle has a known problem with the alloy cartridge lifter (carrier) component breaking. The...

When (and it really is more of a when rather than an if) I migrate to the States (my wife is from Ohio) would I be allowed to buy a firearm as a mere resident or will I need to become a citizen first? What's the process involved?

Scanning a lot of the threads I read that people believe he is likely to ban firearms - and is the cause of the recent buying and stockpiling frenzy that is trickling down to the UK regarding reloading components. So keeping politics out of it - which wouldn't make much impression on me anyway...

Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4sZ2A04GrY

Took my old but good nick M44 Mosin Nagant to the range yesterday. I'd just finished shooting the last of my handloads with no problems. I then started on some milsurp rounds (marked with 3 * 10 52) which I believe to be of Bulgarian origin. Ten rounds in there was a much louder report and a...
