    mysterious 1917s

    A friend gave me a big box with some of his dad's old reloading stuff and some other gun things. Some things of note are the 1961 Speer reloading manual, the "22 Varminter" RCBS dies (now 22-250), and a really old box of surplus 30 cal bullets. Also in the box are two barreled actions! One is...

    Ruger New Vaquero in 9mm?

    The search function here is giving me fits. I could try later, but I figured I'd get some good replies here. First off, I'm not much of a pistol guy, I have a CZ75 9mm that I used to use for USPSA in college, but since then switched to shotgun sports. I've wanted to get a Ruger Vaquero for...

    NOTE: I also posted this on the "Varmints Den" forum. Also, Please don't try to duplicate my loads, I know they are safe in my rifles. Help me with these chronograph results I've been tinkering around with a used 700 in 6mm Rem. that I picked up for a great price. I got a change to...

    More pump gun propaganda!

    I took my new 20ga pump out to a skeet shoot today, it may have shocked some people. Last week I bought a Browning BPS 20ga to go along with my BPS 28ga since they share the same frame and they both handle the same because of it. The way our club shoots work is we have one shoot a month, first...

    New trigger for CZ 527?

    I've got a CZ 527 .223 that I really like. A while ago I was messing with the trigger adjustments and kinda messed it up. It's still safe to fire, but I decided I'd like to get a custom trigger for it. Anybody make one? I haven't had much luck in my search.

    Awesome day with the 28ga!

    Today I headed out to the skeet range with some shooting cronies. I had two guns to try out that I'd tweaked a bit. I cut the stock and added a recoil pad to my 1100 12ga, and I put a temporary homemade shim in between the stock and the receiver on my 28ga BPS. First round was with my 1100. I...

    Help me analyze this pattern

    I just got a new BPS 28ga and a Mec reloader. Last week at Skeet I was missing targets I shouldn't, so I decided to do some patterning. This pattern was at 21 yards, and I have another that shows just about the same thing. The load I'm using is: 28ga Remington STS hull 14 grains Unique...

    Options for a 28ga?

    So, I spend most of my shotgunnin' time on the skeet range. After about a year, I'm finally hitting 24s frequently and that first 25 is right around the corner. Our local club holds shoots frequently, and they always have a "skeet subgauge" option besides the 12ga skeet. I borrowed a tubed...

    Using parts washer on firearms?

    Has anyone had experience using a parts washer to clean grime off firearms? I am just astounded at how well it removes grease from tractor parts and bearings and wondered about using it on my guns. I wouldn't use it on anything with a wooden stock, just my CZ75 9mm and my O/U shotgun barrels...

    Shotgun friendly earmuffs

    So after my local club shoot today I've come to the conclusion that I really ought to be wearing more than just earplugs! My earplugs say they are rated for 33db reduction, but with some of those shooters and their ported barrels I wasn't feeling adequately protected. I'm planning on using...

    Take a break or try something new?

    (also posted in shotgunworld.com) So the last few time I've been shooting skeet I've just been striking out. A few weeks ago I was certain that I was very close to a straight, I was getting 24s and 23s. I shot two 24s in a row at a local club shoot in February and was feeling really good at...

    Incredibly difficult to rebarrel, or am I missing something???

    So, I have this problem child of a rifle. It's an Anschutz 1730 in 22-Hornet made in the late 1950s. I just had it glass-bedded and it still won't shoot properly. I'm getting 2.5-3" groups at 100 with handloads (versus 6" with factory). I've been looking into getting it rebarrelled. The...

    Having a hard time with search... Homemade suppressors

    I'm not talking about the kind that attach to end or barrels, I'm talking about a stationary structure. The ones I remember reading about are made from old tires arranged in a way to give the same effect as the baffles on a suppressor. I can't find any of the threads on this. Has anyone...

    Confused about eye dominance

    So, last year I found out that I am right eyed dominance. I'm left handed and have shot everything left handed since I started shooting when I was 12. I've always closed my right eye, with one exception. I didn't do a lot of shooting until I turned 18. My parents got me a used winchester...

    shotguns for lefties?

    No, I am not talking about left ejecting shotguns, but rather stock setup for lefties. After graduation, I'm thinking of buying another shotgun, but I don't know if many companies make stocks meant for lefties. I shoot pretty well right right handed guns, but if I got an O/U or another auto...

    Simple question for you trap and skeet folks

    I've been shooting trap for about a year now, I just started my 3rd league. I am on my 2nd league of skeet. I am currently shooting a Remington 1100 12ga with a 32" full choke barrel for skeet and a 26" skeet choke for skeet. I've progressed in trap to where 24 is the norm regardless of...

    Is this normal for a Forster die?

    I use a Forster .223 Rem neck size die to size all my 223 cases. After tumbling, I didn't get all the media out of a case, and when sizing the decapping assembly was bent. I called Forster and ordered a new decapping assembly. It came, and I noticed that it looked like there was no expander...

    Hornet reloading discovery!

    I posted this on varminthunters.com, so if it looks familiar, you know why! I've read this time and time again, but I just couldn't believe how true it is with my own gun: Check this out, I recently bought a new neck sizing die and a forster seating die for the old hornet. Armed with a years...

    Tell me about the Raging Hornet!

    I've always been intrigued by them. Who here has shot one? How was it? I read a test a while ago about the accuracy, but what have you experienced? Scoped or not? I love the 22 hornet round, and feel like it would make the perfect pistol to lug around with me while I'm irrigating in the...

    Gunsmithing school?

    Well, college graduation is coming up for me. I'm getting out of here this spring with my undergrad in business from the good ol' U of MT. I don't really know what to do, but I've been thinking of gunsmithing school. After graduation I'm moving back to NV, and Lassen Community College is only...
