The original A series had a reputation for being finicky on what it would feed. It was enough of an issue that Walther came out with the B series. I don't remember all the specifics, but I believe...

Have to go with Unigue with Trail Boss a close second. The difference is that the case capacity for Trail Boss is limited due to its VMD giving Unigue the edge in overall versatility.

Mine appears to have a steel slide. It's a fun little plinker. Just be sure it comes with the "B" series magazines. The first mags were terrible.

I'm about 100 miles east of you. No one locally sells them here either. 22LR match ammo from any manufacturer is hard to find in stores around my area. In fact SK Match Rifle is hard to find even...

Yes! After it took me an hour to install. 10 minutes of actual installation and 50 minutes of crawling around on the floor looking for the small parts that I inadvertently sent flying around the...

Thank you. I may take you up on your offer if I can't get it figured out. Glad to hear you are satisfied with the trigger.

I read your post on rimfire a few weeks ago when I started on this project. Very informative. I prefer a new trigger. I really don’t want to mess around with clipping springs or modifying the...

I could use some advice on trigger recommendations. I am working on a poor man’s 22lr bench rest rifle. I have a Savage that was blessed with a great barrel but a less than satisfactory accutrigger....

OK...I'll admit to being anal retentive about my bench. My wife always wants to know why I can't pick up around the house but can keep my reloading room neat. Simple. She won't allow me to...
Outer,
Looking forward to your Athlon review. Please let us know how it works out.
Outer,
Let us know how your new scope works out. I've been watching the reviews on Athlon glass and they seem to be a mix of love um or hate um. Waco, I'm another SWFA fan boy. Mine is a 16X mounted...

The most important ingredient to having a functional reloading bench is having a good, understanding wife.

+1 on the LCRx3. Adjustable sights, light weight, 3" barrel, accurate and designed to take harsh conditions. Will shoot +P's longer than my pain threshold can take it.

I’m impressed with the overall quality of my RIA. I have a soft spot for 1911’s. When I found a “need” for one in 9mm the Rock Island caught my eye. For the price, given its many features, I was...

OK... I'll come out of the closet too. Bought an older (and way uglier) 995 about 10 years ago. Rough around the edges, extremely low tech, mushy trigger and you can pick up a bolt handle at the...
I purchased the SHV from NF last month to put on a 6.5CM build I was completing. I looked at several different optics and settle on the SHV based on reticle and glass clarity. I must admit that I’ve...
211939It kind of depends on the application. Several good ones out there. As others have mentioned, I don’t do busy very well. If I must pick one reticle it would be a variance of the Mil-Dot. I just...

I only load 45 Colt for a Rossi 92 lever. I’ve always liked Red Dot for its versatility in a wide range of calibers. 6.7gr behind a powder coated Lee 255 gr FN gets me around 925 fps with decent...

I'm neither for or against Ruger. I buy what makes since to me regardless of who makes it. I have a Hi Point 9mm carbine that has been a decent truck gun for the farm. Certainly no Range Queen but it...

Drove by there everyday when I worked in Urbana a few years ago. The sound of those old birds flying overhead was something to behold.
There's nothing on the planet that can't be fixed with a hammer, duct tape or torch. Way to go JonB!
Made the mistake of agreeing to try out a fellow club members 460 Weatherby Magnum. Only got off one round before handing it back to him worse for the experience. That was a few years ago…my...

Have wanted to try a 6.5CM for a while now. Decided on Savage's new Stealth Evolution. First two 5 shot groups at 100 yards were less than half MOA. Will try to stretch it's legs farther out when the...
Welcome aboard! I like the way your sister thinks. While there are certainly easier and faster methods to reload, the old Lee Classic Loader still has merit. I have two of them, one for 9mm and one...
As mentioned, Guns and Ammo did a review on the Spectrum in their last issue. Since G&A doesn't come down hard on anyone because of the advertising dollars, you have to read between the lines....
