    I don't hunt but if I did, the .401 would be a good choice. I call it The Big Ouch. I have an old Hammer of Thor ad on the wall.

    I'm not sure if the swivel was original to the gun. It was there when I got it.
    I ended up with each of the WSL: .22, .32, .35, .351, .401.
    The .22 shoots 22 Winchester Auto, the only rifle to...

    You can tame the .30-40 with Red Dot and still ring the gong at 100 yds. Little...

    Bowling pin shoot

    My club is holding bowling pin shoots. No lead bullets, no hollow points, and...get this...no 38 Specials. 9mm is OK, but not 38s. Why not? They don't have the kinetic energy to knock the pins...

    I put some heat on that black build-up ring with a woodburning iron and sure enough, it began erasing away. It's actually pretty thick. I'll finish it tomorrow with a different heat tip, then...

    SnapCaps bullets are a smaller diameter than the factory ammo, same OAL, and the slide works easily with the Snapcaps. I loaded up a dummy round with a jacketed 124 gr bullet, and the slide stuck. ...

    I'm at the beginning of the learning curve for this handgun. It shoots fine - the rounds all chamber, fire and eject. It's just this problem of not ejecting a round by hand. SnapCaps eject by...

    Just before (rearward of) the flutes, there's a dark ring. It encircles the case mouth. It looks like a carbon ring but now I'm wondering.

    Great gun but apparently they're ammo fussy. There's a hole from the chamber down to the gas cylinder below that you have to be aware of. The gas piston in the gas cylinder gets fouled easily. ...
