      Ruger 77/44 carbine magazine hard to eject

      Anyone else here have a Ruger 77/44 carbine with the rotary magazine? Since day 1 mine has been a PITA to eject the magazine. I have to hold in the release catch lever and then wiggle the mag front to back to get it to pop out. I don't want it to just drop out at the slightest touch but...

      Deer Hunting 'landowner' exemption question regarding 'livestock'

      Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I searched forums and didn't see it. According to the DNR website hunting on one's own farmland qualifies as an exemption to a deer hunting license, but the land has to be used for farming, for livestock, or at least zoned agricultural. I'm...

      My new Ruger Super Redhawk 44Mag w/9.5" barrel has a crack in the body!

      After less than 50 rounds through this beast there is a crack along the body between the trigger area and the serial number that goes from the front of the trigger guard all the way back to the handle grips along both sides! I've contacted Ruger regarding their 'making it right' tonight, hope...

      Help please! Dillon 650 brass feeding problems

      Hi, I'm new to reloading, and learning on a Dillon 650. Having a "Blast" reloading, and was able to get into a pretty good rhythm reloading my 44mags without much fuss at all, but now that I've switched over to 9mm I'm having no end of problems getting brass drop from the feed tube into...

      Dillon Tech Support is AWESOME!

      I bought a used 650 from Profire Arms (Thanks Andrew!) and tonight I was putting it all together on my bench and realized there wasn't a battery in the low primer alarm. Tossed in a battery and pressed the go switch and no bzzz bzzz... Hmm, I think... Maybe a bad battery. Tried one from my...

      Suppression technology question:

      I've just been pondering something and have not seen a good explanation anywhere online that covers this: I understand that there are taxes, regulations, paperwork, etc...for purchasing/using/picking your nose with/etc... a suppressor for a firearm here in the USA. What I've not found is a...

      Direct from the manufacturer?

      Is it illegal for gun manufacturers to sell directly to the public (through FFLs), or do they just not want the hassle of dealing with individual sales and shipping? Just wondering...

      Kimber magzines falling out of my 1911

      I bought several Kimber .45 1911 magazines from GanderMtn a couple of weeks ago to replace some old no-name mags that I had that were causing me issues with feeding. My 1911's got an AO receiver, but I didn't believe that would be a problem. (Shouldn't they be compatible?) The new magazines...

      Ruger Mark III Competition only for right-handed?

      [Begin Gripe] From what I can tell the Ruger MKIII Competition's hand grips are specifically carved for right handed shooters, and Ruger doesn't appear to offer it in a LH configuration. About 10% of the US is left-handed! I'm constantly aggravated by being overlooked on things where handedness...

      1911 barrel link pin falls out VERY easily

      I've read all over the place that it doesn't matter that it's loose, but I'd like to fix it before I lose the darn thing. I don't have calipers so don't know if my pin is too small or the holes are too large or what. I'm assuming I can just get a slightly larger diameter barrel link pin...

      1911 Slide Stop dragging against bullet

      My Frankenstein 1911 (AO receiver + Ithica slide) sometime has problems with bullet rubbing against the slide stop lug. This generally doesn't prematurely lock the slide back but it has occasionally caused feeding issues by knocking the bullet nose downward too much to allow the round to...

      Daughter's first time shooting: MCF&G Today

      Took my daughter to Marion County Fish & Game to shoot for her first time ever today. Despite that fact that the scope was loose at first and then was totally not sighted in, and that the gun is like 2x too large for her little arms she did GREAT! She got dead center on the bulls like 15...

      1st time shooting at Marion County Fish & Game!

      Well I'm finally a member! Signed up last night, (with about 60 other people!) Went by today at around 3:30 to break in my new XDM 9mm. Shot for about 30-40min with no faults no fouls. She shot beautifully for me, despite my shortcomings in the driving department. I'm certain that the...

      Scope repairs

      I have a Springfield Savage-SUWA Model 1540B 4x15 scope that I need to get cleaned up and the crosshairs repaired on. Know anyone local that can do that for me? I know it's not a 'valuable' scope but it belongs to a buddy and he's had it forever. I'd like to return it to him in better...

      Lefties at a disadvantage driving in car?!?

      It seems to me that left handed carrying in a driver's seat is a distinct disadvantage as the gun and the shooting hand is crammed against the driver's side door. I guess if a carjacker were to approach from the passenger side it would be less of a problem but still something to think about...

      CC Reciprocity

      Just looking at the map on usacarry.com and I noticed that Indiana honors permits from every state but Vermont. Vermont however honors our LTCH. That seems a bit odd, that we honor everyone but VT... Anyone know the reasoning behind that?

      Best Hearing Protection for the Money

      I'd like to hear from you regarding what you like/don't like, best for the money, etc. I currently have a pair of rubber in-ear plugs and a pair of Mickey Mouses to wear over them. What's the best bang for the buck? Is there a favorite electronic pair that most people seem to like that won't...

      pink slip lunch today!

      Saw an opportunity to bring up the Starbucks Valentine's day situation at a lunch with some vendors today. Was pleasantly surprised at the number of LTCH "pink slips" that were flashed at the table and pledges to go buy some Valentines day coffee when the topic arose!! Gotta love Indiana...
