      Gunsmith close to Greensburg, Decatur County

      I need some help finding a gunsmith to mount a scope near Decatur county. Does anyone have any recommendations and places to avoid? As soon as I find a CZ 455 22lr, I have a Nikon Prostaff BDL150 I want to put on it.

      Beretta 92fs Firing Pin and riged/dimpled primer

      I noticed some of the primers on spent brass looking odd, then noticed the bolt face on my Beretta 92fs (Italian) has got a grove around the firing pin that appears to let the primers blow slightly, shooting the same bullets in other guns without this grove the primers are nice and flat. I've...
