Great idea. I think I just found my weekend project!

That was a great score. I have been combing Craigslist for something like that. I expanded my bench and had to move things into the garage and standing is just not as fun as it use to be.

I would go with a Rossi if lower end but still reliable is your target. I had one and after a little filing on the internals, it was a nice and smooth action, trouble free and would feed and fire any...

That was a great find. It’s always great to see classics like this put back in service.

That’s a pretty good idea too. I might have to see how long they are and just go ahead and put a few in. I really like the shotgun and after a few skeet sessions, the gun still shoots like a champ.

Thanks for all the good info.
The piece hasn’t come off yet but I am not sure how old the repair is or what exactly was used. I am definitely keeping an eye on the size of the cracks to make sure...

So I bought a Winchester model 97 take down and it’s a little on the rough side but was a great deal. The biggest issue is the stock. It looks like it split just under the comb from the heel almost...

I lean towards a leather cartridge belt or a pouch on my hip. Anyway you go, if you don’t spend some time practicing reloads then it won’t do any good.

I am a fan of the JP triggers in my AR. They Have a great feel and clean break. They go for around $120 and come as a kit that anyone drop in.
That is a well done rig. Good work on all the details.

I actually got 2 on my last buy. I picked up a stoeger cougar in .40 and a Taurus pt738 in .380. They were a great price and I got a small discount buying them together. I have never had or fired...
I like using unique with wsp primers. It's does great with lead and coated.

For that price and a good shooter, grab a mosin. I picked one for $100 from gander mountain and it is so much fun! The ammo is about $6 for 20, military surplus. Spend a few bucks more and get a...
Thanks for all the help. I defiantly try out a few of the suggestions.
I have been looking up powders for loading 55gr 223/5.56 and 150gr 30-30 rounds and about the best compromise for the two so far is IMR 3031. It does well in both but is not a top performer for...

Are you still looking for some 30-40 krag brass?
I would have to go with the 357. It's a good round for most anything and rarely do I have to shoot something twice to take it down. I am partial to lever actions, so 10 rounds from a good rifle is...
Hello all,
i was given a bunch of 375 Winchester brass but I know nothing about the round. Is it worth tracking down a rifle or contender barrel that shoots these?
Forum: Leverguns
Congrats on the find. I picked up one at a gun show about 3 years ago and loved it ever since. I normally target shoot with LRN in 38 but I have taken it hog hunting a few times using the hornady...

I have been using lee dies for awhile now and am very happy with them. I prefer the 3 die sets for pistol and some rifle calibers and the 4 die sets for my larger calibers like 300 win mag. The only...
