I have a cheapo Rossi single shot that literally falls open on it's own, but the first time I fired it, didn't realize it would also throw the hulls considerable distance. Unless your teeth happen...

I also found an Aussie company that makes lighter replacement springs for a Stoeger (the person had no idea if it would work in a Boito--and also, the shipping was many times the cost of the parts),...

That's what I was thinking. I just sourced one from Numerich, and they go under $10. If I fiddle with anything, it's going to be a replacement, not the original.
I actually removed the spring...

I'm sorry, I meant sxs as in side by side. It's an old 20ga double barrel

Some time ago I picked up a Boito SXS shotgun, quite old and well used. Yes, I realize it's not the highest craftsmanship, but it's been working well and seem fairly bulletproof.

One thing that...

Do you know anything about finding and removing the glands? Several sources say you need to do it, but I haven't found a clear source as to where exactly they are. Maybe once the animal is cleaned...

I was wondering about that. I ate some racoon at a fund raiser for the local shooting/outdoors club. The flavor was ok, but it was really greasy. Duck is like that--so they roast it in a raised...

Oh, I agree with that! A "trash panda" would not be my go-to meal. I just wonder how much of that is because I was brought up on a WI dairy farm. Cow, pig, and chicken were daily food for me.
I...

I just realized (after 12 years as a CB member :-) ) that their was a section for wild game. Which is great, because I was seeking a source of info, or maybe some of your personal recipes.
I am...

I think that was my question--I realize 20ga loads can really be light (I have some reloading data for 5/8 ounce loads--not tried them, but I assume they are very light on the shoulder). But I was...

I'm curious why a 20ga is reported to have lower recoil than a 12ga. In some of the forums, it seems that even a 20 and 12 of the same model place the 20ga having up to 40% less recoil.

This has...

I picked up a used Ruger .22 mag about 18 months ago. She is a tack driver! I have never owned for fired a .22WMR before. I have to say, it has considerable punch. I liked it so much, actually,...

About a year ago, my mom asked me "are you ever going to grab your rifle?" It turns out, my very first ever firearm--a well used Stevens 73, was still sitting in a closet (nearly 30 years). I...

It very much seems to be the case. When the slide goes forward, the round stays parallel with the slide. It doesn't want to slant upwards where it can hit the ramp at an angle. It just nose dives...

A couple weeks ago I bought a used, but apparently barely used Ruger LCP in .380. Their isn't a scratch on it, it appears to be virtually new.

I was excited and took it out to the range today. I...

Thank you for that! I did also receive a weird Kydex thing with a rope and could not figure out what the deal was. Obviously not for putting over your neck...

That might be a plan. The clip is...

That is my gut feeling on it too. Yikes, a .380 pointed at my boys? I have to wonder how many self-inflicted wounds happen, shoving a loaded gun down the pants?

I think I'm going to remove the...

Hello folks, Happy Friday.

Just the other day, I picked up a nice, gently used Ruger LCP in .380. Haven't fired it yet, but it appears to be in great shape. A touch of cosmetic wear, but...

I was very polite in my response to them. I guess it's my only option. If I take it anywhere else, it's going to be expensive, and it will also void the warranty. It just bugs me--I got the...

I just spent the past hour with the RIA M206 loaded with snap caps. It's the wierdest thing. If you run SA, but quickly cock the hammer, it locks up 100% of the time. If you cock it very slowly,...

About a month ago, I wrote regarding an M206 that seems to be having a timing problem. Occasionally (around every 3 cylinders), the cylinder doesn't lock up. It's a little scary, because it will...

I didn't know that. I didn't even look. They sent a shipping label, and I handed it off to the shop. It's not a big deal, I was just curious how the rules work. I was half-heartedly thinking of...

I'm not sure what DROS is? that's a Cali thing? I'm in the midwest.
Also, the person I spoke with is the owner of the shop and FFL holder.

I was told--very specifically--by Rock Island armory that they would only accept the return through an FFL. They clearly said it would be refused and returned if I sent it myself. So I went the FFL...

What's the deal with Cali? You have to jump through some different hoops?
