Doom, From what i've researched the bolt closing is the loudest noise, same on both your options. I like the element, with a pusher tool it can be cleaned. Spectre would be second. 4oz. compared to 8oz. Sending the barrel back not so much. Ruger makes a threaded barrel mark 3, or 22/45 or...

The AK47 was designed as a battle rifle and not intended for precision shooting. Many have had the rear sight filed into a "V" configuration to provide quicker target acquisition in battlefield situations. There are options available for those that want a better rear sight. This is a good one...

Look at the rifle and try to determine what model it is, 1905 or 1907. Here are some links...

I carried .380's a lot and always had a JHP in the tube and hot FMJ ammo in the magazines. I shot a lot of them to test function with the brands I carried. Here is a link to some interesting penetration tests. http://www.brassfetcher.com/380ACP.html

Very Nice collection. Is the Lewis in .303 or 30/06?

Nothing special really needed in the "EverWet" state. If you have had success with you gun lubes in Va, Ny, or Wv. stick with them. I use Break-Free on guns I am not going to use for a while or in the rain, but use LPS #1 on carry guns that I wipe down daily. It is grease-less (doesn’t attract...

cota you quote and say a lot of things about the 10 and 12 gauge shot and shotguns, BUT have you ever killed anything with both?? Unless you have shot many birds and bears with both shotguns, you IMHO do not have the credentials to speak about anything but theory. I used to hear a lot of...

I have owned a bunch of .25's over the years. From garbage to the best. I currently have a Beretta 950 and an engraved nickel plated Galesi that will be my daughter's at 21. I never buy the ammo at retail and have always found cheap ammo at gunshows or estate sales. Do youself a favor and go for...

I purchased an Ithaca Mag-10 in the early 80's and hunted Ducks, Geese, Pheasants and Bear with it until the late 90's. It was about 12 lbs loaded and kicked hard, not as hard as my .458 with 510 grain soft-points though. If I did my part it would really kill. It was a pre-interchangeable choke...

Anybody still shoot this?

Don't shoot 230 grain ball in it! I had one that the frame cracked in the cut for the slide release area. I was using a 16lb spring and it still happened. There was a guy in Spokane, WA. who made a good living repairing cracked frames and he fixed mine so as you could not tell it had ever cracked.

Prior to 1957, S&W handguns did not have model numbers (hence, the term Pre-Model 29 for example). In 1957, all existing models were assigned a model number, as were new guns as they were introduced. As engineering changes were made the company stamped the frame of each revolver with the model...

I had 2 Model 84's one in blue and another nickeled. Nice pistols other than being a bit large for a .380 IMHO. They were very reliable and I shot them with all kinds of factory and reloaded ammo.

Many LEO's in the Seattle area carry a Taurus 941UL 22mag snubbie as a backup gun. In fact they are hard to come by out here because of this popularity. I have one that likes CCI 40 grain best as anything lighter doesn't stablize well in the 1 in 15 twist. I am going to try some 45 and 50 grain...

This question is to all of you who have had or have a PPK/S and noticed sharp or "snappy" recoil. What grips do you have on it? If your experience was with factory grips, have you tried Pachmayr grips? I have several J frames, including lightweights and had a brown grip, PPK in .32 ACP, and a...

I would sell it and get a Taurus 941 Ultra-lite 22mag. At 18 ounces you won't hardly notice you are packing it on the trail and power wise it's not that much behind a 5.7x28. Just use 40 grain and over in it. The 5.7 at over a buck a round is pricey to practice with and there have been nasty...

I had one that I would only trust FMJ ammo in it. Serveral friends had the same experience. Personally I know of a self defence shooting with one loaded with JHP's that fortunately the first round did enough damage to stop the attack because the next JHP round FTF. With any auto do a 100 round...

For best accuracy I suggest using at least a 40 grain bullet in it. The lighter bullets do not stabilize well in the 1 in 15 twist of the Taurus. I have found so far that mine likes CCI best.
