    Perplexing Powder Drop Issue

    Ok guys, so here I am at the bench doing the same caliber change I've done many times before, and I set up my Lee auto-disk powder drop exactly as I always have, and then comes trouble. I switched from 9mm to .357, no big deal, except that when I changed disks to drop a 6.5gr charge of Unique...

    Another easy basic 9mm Newbie Question...

    Ok fellas, I may be just a bit off my game today, but I was wondering, do the Lee Carbide die sets (9mm) come with a factory taper-crimp die? I ordered a set yesterday which contains 3 dies, a carbide resizing die, a bullet seating die, and a powder through expanding die. Now, I am pretty new...

    Those crazy little 10/22 Gatling Guns...

    Anybody shot one of these? My buddy is selling one that is very nice with a tripod and such for around $1000. Is that worth the price? Also, are they even that fun to shoot? I have been thinking about it over and over, but I keep coming back to "what the hell am I gonna use this for". If...

    Convince me to buy an H&K P7-M8

    Hello boys, I need an honest opinion. How does the P7 M8 measure up against other smallish 9mm's? I have a chance to buy one new-in-box with 3 mags and all, for $900-1000 (we'll haggle, but $1000 tops). I love the gun, it's just a wierd little dude compared to my Beretta, Sig, Glock, etc...

    Urgent Winchester 1894 Pre-64 info needed!

    Hey guys, I have a chance to buy a pre-64 Winchester Model 1894, in 90+% condition, all original, for $525. I'd rate the gun at VG, Very Good. Is that a good deal? My latest 2009 Gun Values book has the standard Sporting Model has them in the $1500-3000 range for one in such condition. This...

    S&W .38 Safety-Hammerless (OLD Lemon-Squeezers)

    Hey guys, I have in possession 2 very old Smith and Wesson .38 Safety-Hammerless revolvers. Patent dates are from the mid-late 1880's. These guns have been in my family for generations, and I'd like to know a little about them. One is a 1st-model with the Z-bar latch, 4-inch barrel...

    Sig P228 Questions...

    Hey guys, I just purchased a used Sig P228 today. The gun has some slight holster-wear on the end of the slide, but nothing big, and everything mechanically is very tight. It looks to have been carried a lot, shot a little. I paid $575 with brand-new in the box CTC Lasergrips, and a spare set...

    Are the S&W Sigma SV40E's any good?

    After searching on the net, I got mixed reviews. I had read that the triggers were TERRIBLE, but good for a defense type gun. I don't own many DAO pistols though, so I'm not sure what they define "terrible" as. Any input? A guy wants to trade me for a .357 wheelgun of equal value.

    Class III Weapons in Illinois?

    Ok guys, I live in Missouri half the year and IL half the year, I'm a student and have legal residence in both states. Now, that being said, I might end up moving back to the People's Republic of Illinois (a little bad humor there) full time. Now, I know all about the $200 tax-stamp, sheriff's...

    Lasergrips for a Taurus 617???

    I guess the Taurus 617 is what they call a "compact" size frame, kinda between a J and a K? Anyway, I would love a set of Lasergrips for it, but I can't find any or if they are even made. I was wondering if a set off a specific Smith would work or what other options I've got. Thanks!
