    Boker Haddock - Issues?

    I watched a negative review of the Boker Haddock. I love the look and style of the knife and was thinking about getting one, but not if it is going to have problems. If anyone has experience with this knife, please let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Marlin 39A or Ruger 10/22 International?

    I found and picked up a beautiful used pre-CBS Marlin 39A for my 12 year old son for Christmas. He likes the action of my 336, hence, the 39A. I have an old Ruger 10/22 as well - and he likes it. He has told me he would prefer a lever-action, but he seems to like the look of the 10/22...

    Lever-Action Smiths (New/Old 30AS)

    I recently traded a S&W 442 (I had 3 of them) for a Marlin 30AS (I don't own any lever action rifles). The friend who I traded with bought it about 20 years ago for a deer hunt and maybe put 20 round through it. It is in mint condition with zero scratches, rust or blemishes. It looks like it...

    Customizing 10/22 How Hard is it?

    I have an old Ruger 10/22. I was thinking of adding a bull barrel (new stock of course). How hard is this to do? Do I need any special tools to take the old barrel off or does it simply unscrew? Thanks.

    Does Anyone Reload .22 LR?

    I have been on a .22 love fest recently. I currently reload only for .45 acp and I was just curious to know if anyone reloaded .22 and if they thought it was worth it? Thanks. Greg

    Levergun Newbie

    Hi, I just picked up a 30AS in great shape. Never had a lever action rifle before and have some questions. When out shooting it this weekend I noticed that the last 1/4 inch of the lever pull (after racking a round and closing the chamber) is difficult. I have to really squeeze the lever...

    Marlin 336 Walnut or Birchwood?

    I would like to pick up a 336. Some come with birchwood stocks and some with walnut stocks. Is birchwood a lot softer or lighter than walnut? Opinions? Thanks.

    Maxfire Speedloader for J Frame

    I have HKS Speedloaders I use for various J-frames. It does not always work very smoothly. It often gets hung up on the grips. Has anyone tried one of these: http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=1461/Product/MAXFIRE_SPEEDLOADER# Maybe I need to go to speed strips. Thanks.

    Simple .38 Special Single Stage Set Up

    Hi, I reload .45 ACP exclusively. However, I do shoot my .38 specials at times and was thinking about re-loading for them. I do not think I want to get a Dillon SDB or 550 so I was thinking about a single stage set up with an electronic powder measure. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Why Older Non-Lock 442 and 642 Not +P

    Hi, I have an early 90's 442 and 642. I have heard these are not +P rated. How do they differ from the current versions? Did S&W change the receipe on the metal or what? I'm considering picking up a new non-lock version just because it is +P rated. Not that I practice with much +P...

    Appendix Holster for J-Frame

    Hi, I am looking for a good appendix holster for a 442. Something like this would be ideal: However, Matt is WAY back logged and not accepting orders - huge wait even if he did. Any suggestions? Thanks, Greg

    Ruger Single Six FTF

    Hi, I picked up an old 3 screw Ruger Single Six. Looks great; however, it often fails to fire. I have tried multiple ammo. In addition, the .22 rounds will fire in another firearm. Finally, if I hold the trigger down and let the hammer fall all the rounds will fire. It looks like the...

    Colt New Agent w/Sights

    This past summer I purchased a Colt New Agent for my CCW. It shoots great and is rock solid reliable; however, I could not shoot very accurately nor consistently. So I thought about selling it and picking up a Defender. But because it was so reliable I decided to just hang on to it and add...

    HBE Leather...Service, Quality and Speed

    Hi, On the evening of May 22, 2008 I sent an email question to HBE Leather aka Eric Larsen and asked about any suggestions for an appendix IWB for a Colt New Agent I recently picked up. He responded within an hour or two via email and asked that I call him the next day. So, the next day I...

    1911 Magazine - Will New Spring Fix it?

    I have a Metal Form 1911 magazine with nylon follower that has never worked. It does not allow slide lock in any 1911 I use. What usually causes this? Would a heavier Wolf spring solve this problem? Thanks.

    .452 Does Not fit in Jarvis Chamber

    Hi, I just picked up a Jarvis bbl to shoot lead reloads through a Glock 36. I have not shot it yet but noticed that the chamber is extremely tight with my LRN at .452 so much so that I cannot eject the round by racking the slide manually. I checked with Bill Jarvis and the chamber is sized...

    Shot G36 for the 1st time Today

    I shot my Glock 36 today – first time. It was a good experience. I shot close to 200 rounds. I had 3 FTF out of 100 re-loads. This was not that big of a deal. I changed my Dillon press from 200 grain semi-wad cutters to 230 grain LRN and it’s not quite dialed in. My 1911’s also sometimes...
