Big dilemma...I just got a new model 2019 Colt King Cobra Target with 4.25” barrel and need a chest holster rig. This gun is built on a smaller frame than the original King Cobra so those holsters are too big. It is made on the Colt D - Frame but with the grip set back some, according to Colt...

This may have already been covered in a previous thread, but couldn't find any (guess it just didn't slap me hard enough...). o_O I am an unabashed 6.5mm cartridge fan. I have several bolt action hunting rifles chambered in the .260 Remington and 6.5 Creedmoor. What I want to do is procure a...

First time at range with new rifle, first time firing. After 25 rounds of PMC 55 grain FMJ ammo, the bolt jammed part way open and was stuck hard. Removed magazine and knocked out both take down pins. Removed upper and the recoil buffer retaining pin was down in the action and the retaking pin...

At this point, I am not setup to cast and swag my own. For my .357 Magnum revolvers, I am seeking commercially manufactured hard cast (18-21 BHN) bullets that are 158 grain with a gas check, but have been unsuccessful. They can be either SWCGC or WNFPGC. I am not interested in any other...

I want to select and mount a forward mounted scope on my scout rifle. I have NO interest in conventionally mounting a scope on this Ruger. I have other rifles so equipped and will not do it here. I want to be able to quickly detach the scope without tools and use the excellent iron sights...

Background: I have a slick sporterized Krag (checked out by gunsmith) and a Browning rendition of the 1895 Winchester. I reload the 30-40 Krag, and duplicate the original military load with 220 grain Hornady .308 round nose bullets. I also had some 180 grain Winchester SP factory loads on...

I've got an ASM Texas Ranger commemorative Sharps carbine in .45-70 Government. It has the typical carbine sights of the period, which means, that I can't see them and find them about as useful as teats on a boar hawg. I plan to have the factory sight removed and the barrel dovetailed to accept...

My old AutoMag II .22WMR is now failing to extract fired cases. Anyone else have same problem? Solutions?

I need help in figuring out what I've got. It is an interesting old Colt revolver, manufactured between 1962 and 1969. It is marked as a Trooper 3-5-7 with what appears to be a satin nickel finish, and a Magna-Ported 4" barrel, has had an action job, and came with an aftermarket underlug that is...

Has anyone seen or had a lightweight short, handy carbine made/purchased in .327 Federal Magnum? I want one as a companion to my 7-shot Ruger GP-100 for trail carry and small game/predator hunting. I've been writing Marlin, Ruger, Puma, etc., asking for one. Rim Rock sells a nifty 115 grain...

This is a long one because a certain amount of background to the problem is needed. Now for a little background...My friend's all-weather stainless steel (with black plastic stock) Ruger M77 Hawkeye rifle started rusting last year on the barrel exterior. He keeps it in a gunsafe with a...

I have a Cimarron Firearms Co. Sharps carbine ("Ted McNelly" 1859 cartridge conversion carbine replica) in .45-70 Government. The military style sights are nearly impossible for me to see, so I would like to install a tang mounted vernier sight and replace the soldered front sight with a...

I'm working up a mild load for an ASM reproduction Sharps single-shot cavalry carbine. The Laser Cast book listed 21.0 grains of IMR 4198 as a starting point and 27.5 as a maximum for their cast 405 grain Flat Point bullets. I want to use 25.5 grains, sorta mid range load. When I looked on...

I shoot a .45 Auto Rim bowling pin load made up of new (virgin) Starline brass, Winchester WLP primers, Lasercast 255 grain hard cast semi-wadcutters and Blue Dot powder. Powder charges are not maximum and come straight from Laser Cast's reloading tables for a .45 AR bowling pin load. The...

Does anyone know of and had dealings with a competent gunsmith in North Georgia? I live in Hemptown near Blue Ridge, GA and need some work done on this old 30-40 Krag that was sporterized waaaaay back in the day and wants to live again. It started out as an 1898 rifle, was apparently cut down...

Got the urge for a .327 Federal Magnum revolver. The appeal of firing four different cartridges (32 S&W, 32 S&W Long, 32 H&R Magnum & 327 Fed Mag) has strong appeal to me. Currently, I've got a cute little bitty nickel finished Colt Police Positive in .32 Police (.32 S&W Long) with 4" barrel...

I am interested in getting either the M1-A Scout or SOCOM without the funky rails. Anyone have one who can offer some insights? What is a good scout scope for this weapon system?

I am giving some thought to getting a Smith 386 Night Guard. Anyone out there have one? How well does it shoot? Got 13 S&W's and need to even out the collection.

I recently acquired an all-weather Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Rifle (.223 Rem/5.56x45) and wondered about using the cheaper steel cased non-corrosive imported ammo such as by Wolf or Brown Bear or other such. Price is considerably cheaper than domestic and I read a piece from one of my buddies that...

Does anyone have any experience with magnaporting a 7-1/2" barrel Ruger Super Redhawk revolver chambered for .454 Casull? Also, has anyone found an aftermarket bolt-on muzzle brake for these revolvers?
