I ordered one of these gizmos up the other week and gave it a spin. Link: http://www.gunvault.com/gun-locks/breechvault.html I'm quite happy with it. The video on the linked page shows installation and removal and it really is just that quick and easy. Setup was also a snap. It only...

I did a quick search but didn't see many threads about slugs here so I'm starting a new one. I've been reloading shells for trap and such for a bit over a year now. The other day I picked up some 1oz slugs to test in a coach gun and after tested them out realized two things: 1) It's...

Had an idea pop into my head the other night. "Commie ammo for commie guns" is what I tell myself when it comes to rifles and pistols, but I've never tried it with shotguns. Folks that visit the forum often might have seen my previous threads on patterning a Saiga 20 gauge. In short...

Followup to a previous thread: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=367124 I apologize for taking so long. I fully intended to give a quick turn-around but work caught up with me and I wasn't able to find Federal #3 Buck at any shops I stopped at. I finally found it at the local po-dunk...

There's a gun buyback coming up in my area this weekend. I've always wanted to show up at one with a sign letting the old folks dropping off stuff that I'll give them an assessment of what it's actually worth. I just don't understand how you could let an elderly widow drop off something like...

I'm not sure how to adjust windage on this rifle. Here's the front sight: I backed the screw that's barely visible on the top there out and gave it a few whacks but it didn't move. Fearing that I might do some damage I thought I'd ask you guys. Rear sight: I can't see anyway to adjust...

So, I'm thinking about doing an IDPA match next month but I'm going to need another magazine for my CZ RAMI (.40S&W) to do that. Everywhere I look these things are about $38+ shipping. That seems a bit excessive to me. Anybody know where I can get them cheaper?

I've been seeing comments about "Heller" winning "his" case lately and that bothers me. I tried clearing it up in one thread, but that buried itself pretty early. I another thread I made a rather snarky comment to another member and annotated it admitting I was at fault there and shouldn't be...

HR 6257. Introduced on the 12th this month. It has 3 cosponsors now, all Republican as far as I can tell. Anybody know what's going on?

Saturday I took a newbie out to the range and while walking out to check targets he asked what all those plastic things were on the ground. Well, they were shotgun wads, and I explained what they did. It got me to wondering though, what did they use previous to plastics for a wadding...

Years back George Hill gave a big thumbs up to Hoppe's Elite on his website so I went out and got some. I remember cleaning a couple of handguns bores with Hoppe's #9 and then hitting them with Hoppes Elite. Patches came out black, so I made that my serious cleaner. Recently, like about two...

Okay, hit the range early this evening to see just what kind of patterns I'd get out of my Saiga 20 gauge. Range: 15 yards Load: Remington Express #3 Buck The paper you're looking at is 18x24". The thing behind it is one of my end tables. I stuck a little Shoot-n-See sticker in the middle of...

I posted about this M1917 before looking to get some optics on it but didn't get any responses. In further research I think it might be possible to actually get some irons back on this thing that resemble the originals. I can't find any sort of optic mount that would fit with the holes...

I bought this rifle back in, I think, 2005 at an estate sale. Sporterized stock and the irons were knocked off it. Pic: I don't know diddly about putting scope or rails onto guns but here's what the top of the receiver looks like: Two holes in the rear, two in the front. Is there a...

I just swapped in a replacement magazine tube on my Henry .22LR rifle and noticed the new one has a different follower, something I've never seen before: That got me to wondering just how old the rifle is. It has no model number on it and its serial number is 0810XX. Anybody know about when...

I dusted off a Savage MK II FSS that's been sitting in my safe for about 4 years and decided to finally get the thing sighted in. Windage adjustment went OK (if you can call whacking the rear sight with a mallet "adjustment") but I can't get the elevation right. At 25 yards I'm about 5.25"...

Ryan Horsley of Red's Trading Post says that Glock mags are all going up 40% come May 1st: http://redstradingpost.blogspot.com/2008/04/glock-magazines-will-increase-40-in-may.html I haven't heard this from anybody else so I thought I'd ask about it here. Seems unlikely to me.

I took down my S&W 1911SC last night for a routine cleaning. By the time I got it back together I was bleeding from my pinky finger and had three new dings in my drywall. Time to swap the FLGR out for a standard one. Problem is, I don't know where to get one. Brownell's seems to be out of...

I thought this was an interesting take on pocket pistols: http://www.nrahab.com/?p=1054 Click the link and you'll see a cutaway diagram of the pistol. It has a unique feeding mechanism. The rounds are pulled out of the magazine as the slide comes back, lifted into position, and then...

It came to my attention earlier today that I hadn't shot more than 10 rounds through my Thunderbolt I bought over a year and a half ago today so I hauled it out to the range to finish off the box of 50 rounds I originally bought for it. Yeah, I didn't even make it through the other 40. The...
