      Rails

      I learned something. I bought a Bushnell Incinerate red dot sight for my HiPoint .40 carbine. Description said that it would fit Picatinny rails. No problem, I thought. It doesn't fit. Evidently picatinny rails are not standard. This scope is labeled AR optics. The cross bolt measured .195...

      Looking for Richard Claus's addy and phone no.

      The family needs some gunsmithing work done and I've lost his telephone no. Couldn't find it here.

      I just bought a LCR 9mm

      to keep my Kimber Micro Raptor 9mm company. I just reviewed a few threads about the LCR 9mm. Quite frankly, the opinions are all over the map. Some sound reasonable, some do not. I'm going to rely on my over 60 years of shooting to form my own opinion. Two possible problems as I see it...

      Savage 10P with Boyd's stock

      I finished inletting the barrel of the Boyd's Pro Varmint stock into the Model 10P. It's now free floating. Here is a pic. I think that Savage considered this a scout rifle (Jeff Cooper style) but the scope can't be mounted forward and at close to 9 pounds, the rifle is too heavy. The barrel...

      Got'r Done

      I spent about four hours inletting the barrel of my Savage Model 10P into my Boyd's Pro varmint stock. The stock came inletted for a .750 barrel. The barrel on the 10P was .900 at the stocks foreend. I got two dowels, a 3/4" and a 1" and used 80 grit garnet sheets (sandpaper would not bend...

      Need gunsmith for inletting rifle stock or?

      I have a Savage model P .308 with an 18 inch barrel and have just purchased a Boyds pro varmint laminated wood stock. The action inletting and overall stock work seems good but the barrel is oversized and the stock needs work. I want it free floating not bedded. Any recommendations for gunsmith...

      Defense classes for

      old geezers like me. I've not done research except post this same question to the Armed Citizen' Legal Defense Network, I am a member. They didn't have an answer. I am 89 years of age. I can't run, I can't stoop, I can't engage in any of the hot shot competition style classes. It seems to...

      My favorite wheel gun

      I've had many but only have three left. A Ruger .357 Vacquero, A Charter Arms Bulldog, and this, a Security Six with target grips and sights that I bought new. It's my favorite and is in excellent shape.

      Age related carry

      At my age, arthritis is slowing me down. Thumbs and wrists aren't able to rack the slide easily. I decided to do some trading from my .40 cal carry. After checking the slide and recoil spring AND the different serrations on the slide, I bought the Kimber 9MM Raptor. I like the looks and...

      A'bug out' bag

      More as an exercise than anything else, I put together some items for emergency use. Actually, a bug out bag is for survivalists, I think. This is not. I have a desert camo backpack which holds everything. Items like a genuine Kabar,(not Chinese crap!) alcohol stove, three methods for making...

      Ruger Security Six

      I bought this new, still stock. A really nice revolver. I'm not sure how many Rugers Secuirity sixes came with adjustable sights, red front, and oversize grips. I've owned a lot of Rugers; GP100, Three screw Super Blackhawk, Vacquero, SP101, Redhawk, Super Single Six, and a Mark II. This...

      The Smith. 500 revolver

      On another forum there has been some discussion about circumstances that cause the Smith .500 to double in full recoil. The supposition is that, in the hands of an inexperienced shooter, the massive recoil compresses the grip material resulting in a springing action and a inadvertent double...

      Ed Hirschy Guns

      Reading various threads on this forum I came across a thread with generally bad reviews of Ed Hirschy Guns in Auburn. I, too, was turned off by an experience with Ed awhile back. As a result, i traded with KC guns in New Haven, now closed. Keith was the opposite of Ed; congenial, easy going...

      A truly excellent shooter or?

      A recent poster on the Sig Forum said that his Dad could hit a 5 inch steel target at 500 feet "with ease" using his Glock 31. The .357 Sig's standard load 125 gr at over 1300 fps, is a relatively flat shooting pistol round but I don't know the trajectory at about 166 yards. The poster did...

      New to this forum

      I've been in the shooting sports for over 70 years but I can still learn a lot here from what I see. A little bit about me. Hunted big game and small, bow hunted, rifle hunted, pistol hunted. reloading. Also pistol competition but not good at it any more. Slowed up considerably at 88.
