i am considering the purchase of an Uberti in .44-40 vs .45 LC. This is due to the supposed greater accuracy and increased blowback tendency of .45 LC.

I'm new to reloading. I had planned on purchasing a Hornady classic press kit. Does the Hornady classic single stage press work for re-loading loading 45-70 rounds? Someone at my local Cabelas cautioned me to make sure that Hornady classic press has a long enough stroke to handle 45-70 rounds...

i am considering getting a .45-.75 lever action rifle. I am nervous about spending good money on a new Marlin or "Remlin" 1895 due to past quality control issues. If I get a Marlin 1895 it will be a JM stamped one I buy off of Gunbroker; unless I find a newer quality built Marlin. I have also...

I am trying to decide what rifle to get for my next purchase. I really want a 1903a3. Especially since they are getting more expensive and harder to find. My primary reason for wanting the C308 is the possibility of a future ban on the sale of assault type rifles. I have heard varying reports...

I found a 1903a3 for sale with a muzzle wear of less than 1. Pardon my ignorance, but what do the gauge readings mean for muzzle wear? I am assuming that zero is the best? I figured any reading under 1 is great for a MILSURP rifle. Thanks for any information you can give on this subject.
