I have a polychoked barrel that the ivory bead has given up any premise of use.

This shotgun has a lot of sentimental value to me. It was the very first gun I bought for myself. For the grand sum of 60.00. This was more than 50 years ago. Since this was the only shotgun I had...

I think ( dealing with 74 year old mind here ) so beware. I have come up with a way of making these that would be economical. I wonder if they would sell to the average Joe for 4-5 dollars a pop. I...

But still got my knickers in a bunch over Lyman.

Never was a big fan of the Ruger 10/22. But the one thing that was outstanding was it's reliability. Over the years it has proved to be one of the most popular...

Well I have to add the 360 Wesson as another reason for getting a Max. Tried some using H110 powder along with magnum small rifle primers and 140 grain Hornady FTX bullets. Was highly impressed with...
