Hey guys, I am considering buying my first flinter to keep my T/C caplocks company. My question, is it possible for a left handed shooter to have fun shooting a right handed flintlock? Would my face be a little close to the action, fire and flash etc?? There doesn't seem to be a lot of left...

I came across an older Richland Arms 10 gauge double barrel shotgun like this one. http://www.gunauction.com/buy/6718453/richland-arms-co-richland-arms-10-gauge-double-barrel This being probably an 80's gun, would you see any issues shooting steel in it? I found some info about the...

Hey, I just wanted to share some details and pics of my new Model 70 Sporter that I am pretty excited about. It was pretty hard to find one among the dealers but one finally came through. I am thrilled with the quality and workmanship of this rifle. I had read a lot of good things about the...

Hey all, new 1851 owner here. Quick question. Whats the best tool in addition to a hammer for pounding out the wedge? I been looking around for some to hammer on but have not come up with anything. Have you found a punch or something that wont scratch the gun? What do you use? thanks

Gents, Have you seen the price of bulk brass lately? When will the increases stop?? But to my question, do you ever think we'll see a USA ammo maker start making steel case ammo and selling it to us at a more affordable cost. The technology has got to be there. Seems like technology is...

Hey, I need some advice here. First time out with my new S&W 442 and after a few cylinders I had a problem. I was shooting UMC 130gr ammo and with a full cylinder it was just cycling with no firing on live ammo. I emptied it and found that the firing pin was still coming out so I am confused...

Greetings, I recently purchased an Lee-Enfield No4 Mk1 and would like to know a little more about it from the experts if you can help. Where was it manufactured, etc. Thanks for any info that can provided. Markings stamped on the receiver. 1943 AL Serial I assume? 160XX "SM" is...

Hey all, I was looking over an old shotgun my dad has at home. Supposedly it was his great grandfathers or older. It is in pretty rough shape, it it looks to be a muzzleloader with caps. I can't make out any writing on it. Has anyone seen one like this, any idea how old it is and what value...

Just wanted to give a quick report on the customer service I got from Smith and Wesson recently. I was having trouble with my 629 mountain gun, the cylinder was binding and not working right. I contacted S&W and they had me ship the gun back at their expense. Keep in mind the gun has been well...

Any Kimber 1911 owners out there? A buddy of mine has a question about how often he should change the recoil spring in his auto. The Kimber factory told him to change it every 600 rds, that sounds excessive to me. Any thoughts on how often a spring should be changed, if ever?

I am the new owner of a 329PD lightweight .44 from Smith and Wesson. I was so excited to get it and had to wait a whole day to get it after I ordered it. I picked it up today and I really like it. I bought some .44 Winchesters, 240gr Mags to try it out on the indoor range. Fellow next to me...

Do you think Ruger will break down a make a .44 version of the Alaskan? They are out today with the .454 and .480 but what about the .44? If they sell a bunch and it catches on, I hope they make a .44 version. What do you think?

OK, I did it. I broke down and had to buy a Ruger .454 after reading so much about it on the THR and I am not disappointed. It is the kind of gun that makes you say ouch when you shoot it, but it is lots of fun. I have been experimenting with the 240 and 300gr Hornady loads, work pretty well...

Has any one gun maker discovered a better design for an extractor than S&W? I have a 629MG that fires a lot of heavy .44 loads. The extractor is constantly backing out, too tight, too loose etc? I consider it a weak point of the gun. I tried some loc-tite on it but that did not work. I have...

Went to the indoor range today and did some pounding away with my .44MAG. It is just something I have to do every once in a while, very relaxing. I have been shooting hot 180gr loads in my 629 Mountain Gun because I like the power and the blast. When I got home I noticed the cylinder release...

Hey Guys, I have got a question for you experienced big bore shooters. I have been doing a lot of reading about the .454 in a Ruger SRH. I already own a 629 S&W MG that I love to shoot. My question is, is the recoil and the power of the .454 really that much more impressive than the .44MAG...
