    Ruger M77 Tang Safety

    I had one in .257 Roberts that I spent lots of time and $$$ trying to get to shoot a group under 3" Tried all different bullet weights and handloaded powder loads. Never did get it to shoot. If you are looking to buy one, make sure you shoot it first, or be willing to accept a risk. It...

    Is SKS inherently superior to AK or is it a cost issue?

    I sold my Arsenal AK and kept my Russian built, refurbed SKSs. I don't need a 30 round mag to hit what I aim at. For ME, the Russian built SKS is better built and more accurate. I'm way to old to consider myself a door-kicker-downer. YMMV.

    Identify new Winchester Model 70s

    Thanks jmr40, the m70 rifle I saw as new today definitely did not say BACO on the left side of the barrel. I did not look for it on the right side. The rifle was on sale at a national chain hunting store.

    Identify new Winchester Model 70s

    Today I went to look at the new FNH Winchester M70 rifles. The question is how to tell new old stock from the new Winchester FNH rifles. The featherweight I saw today had Olin on the barrel stamp. The salesman acted like new FNH rifles were news to him and suggested curtly if it mattered to...

    Bushy v DPMS?

    I have 2 DPMS AR-15s. A M4gery and a 16" Bull. I had a Colt National Match a few years ago and sold it. I enjoy shooting them. I had an extractor break on the M4 early on. DPMS replaced it promptly. For me, if I had to defend my home or my block, I'd choose neither. I choose my AK and...

    M1 Garand CMP

    IMO, unless you can touch it and gauge it, you should order nothing less than a Service Grade. I went to the South Store last year and there were no Service Grade rifles available. I came home with 2 field grade rifles. Mixmasters of period parts with mid-range muzzle and throat erosion...

    Best commercial 7.62x39 round

    I have a converted Saiga , I bought several boxes of different ammo to determine what my rifle liked best. I tried Wolf Black box, Wolf Military Classic, Golden Tiger, Cabelas Tula white box, and Brown Bear. Everything was pretty simular with the Cabelas White box the worst (minute of barn...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    I watched it and enjoyed it. My wife watched it with me and wants to see it next week. She has never fired a firearm and has told me on many occasions she has no interest in going to the range with me. If this is the means to introduce her to my wonderful obsession, I'm all for it.

    C-Products AR15 mags, good or bad?

    I bought some SS 20 round mags, one wouldn't hold the last round in the mag, I contacted customer support to exercise the 'lifetime warrenty' and received RMA instructions. I sent in the mag, USPS return receipt, and it went into a black hole. Nothing ever happened, no replacement ever...

    Harris Bipod On AR-15

    Harris Bipod Adapter I used that adapter on my DPMS carbine. Works great. I think I bought mine at Midway. Used Loctite on the stud and it's a solid mount. Richard

    First time out with New/Used SP101 3"

    Do the speed strips spacing work with the SP101? I know it only has 5, but wondering about the spacing.

    S&W Serial Number punched on?

    I'm just glad to know it was a factory applied serial number. If I ever see another example, I'll know what I'm looking at. Thanks for the clarification. The original post was to understand what I was seeing.

    S&W Serial Number punched on?

    I was 'interviewing' the revolver for purchase and passed on it because I had never seen a serial number applied with this method. I don't have a picture of the serial number. I've sent a link to this thread to the seller, perhaps he will post a picture of the S/N example.

    S&W Serial Number punched on?

    OK, I guess I just need to catch up, but if it's computer controlled, you'd think it would look better. Literally looked like hand done dot matrix. Thanks....

    S&W Serial Number punched on?

    OK, Thanks. What I saw could certainly have been done with a laser. You're correct, it did look like crap, I couldn't make out whether the second character was a B or 8, even under a magnafying glass. I passed on a good revolver because I'd never seen such a thing.

    Is my barrel worn?

    I have a Colt Detective Special, and a round will not fit in the muzzle. In my experience, Colts are VERY accurate. Not sure what the deal is. Are you sure your ammo is .38 Special?

    S&W Serial Number punched on?

    I looked at a S&W Model 60-10 tonight that had the serial number inside the crane that was put on with what looked like a pin punch. Model number too. It was very fine, but obviously hand done. Anyone have any idea what or why the serial number was like this? CBK3xxx.
