Has anyone had trouble, like blown primers, or real hot loaded ammo. Ive read that this ammo could be dangerous?
The ammo is the 55 grain fmj xm1931. I have ten boxes of this ammo, and I wonder if this ammo caused a bad jam in my rifle, and locked it up.
I went to pull the cylinder pin out, but first sprayed some luberplate on the barrel, like I have always done to make the pin slide easier, and not scratch the metal. Then realized the pin doesnt come all the way out like on the old models. The pin also turned, and got locked up. With a flash...
Went to my club today and two days ago ,and shot the blackhawk out at twenty five yard range. I was shooting Geco ammo in 38 ,and 357, 158 grain FMJ ammo. Both days the 38 ammo shot three inches to the left of center, and the 357 shot at the center of target ,but was hitting high a little. I...
A few months back I found a Para at a pawn shop for two hundred dollars. It was ugly and was in a advanced tech heavy plastic stock. It also had some kind of detachable scope mount on it held on by a screw through the receiver cover. It was missing the wood hand guard cover and the original ten...
Ijust got one, and it has a 26 inch full choke barrel. Its a older gun but in new condition.
I was reading another post on this site about shooting slugs though full choke guns.
My club wont allow shooting shot shells at the backstops, but now allows shooting slugs.
After reading the other posts...
Im thinking about buying one, and I wanted to see if anyone here has one, or what others thought about them.
Im looking at a new in the box one, that has a Hungarian receiver, and I think was completley made in Hungary, not a parts kit rifle.
I had owned a few of them years ago, but sold them because I couldnt find any surplus ammo, and the cost of it when I did find it was high.
Started to shoot rifles in 7.62x 39, but now that ammo is just as high

So a couple weeks ago I found a Winchester carbine at a gun show that I had to...
I got one last week, and it came with a 30/30 barrel, with matching numbers to the receiver. It also came with a model number 490, 20 guage barrel.
The gun was made in 1974, and still looks new. I had 22 Hornet back in the seventies that was a H&R Topper, and I loved that little gun.
How much...
Today I put this rifle on lay away. It comes with a 30/30 barell, and a 20 guage. After doing a little research on this model, I find out it came out with the options of only in 410 or 20.
THen some more googleing, and found a guy asking about the same type rifle. The guy said the 30/30 broke...
Anyone else like these pistols?
I have two East German Makarovs, and I never had a problem with them.
They both are pretty accurate shooting with either LVE, or Brown Bear ammo. Maybe its the fixed barrels, and the nice smooth triggers.
Now the Tokarevs are a different story. Ive had two...

I am from Evansville In. , and a 14 year member of the West Side Sportsman Club. I enjoy collecting, and shooting all types of firearms.
My newest joy is getting my Grandkids into shooting. Ive got the three of them Ruger 10/22 with the Blackhawk...
