I bought the 5" GP-100 half lug and found it shot a foot high at 25 yards with Skeeter loads and the rear sight all the way down. I sent it back to Ruger and it came back with a new barrel and...

The OP mentioned he has Missouri brand Keith bullets. Looking at the website, these are listed at Brinell 18. Be prepared to be disappointed. Not that these are not good bullets in 44 Magnum...
Think of the .327 as a 32-20, except you can get ammo and brass for a .327
I always get the poly-carbonate option for my glasses at Costco. They may not be 100% safety rated and certified, but they sure beat nothing when things go wrong.
I had a double-charge in a .45 ACP...

Checking the Marlin website, I see they are going to offer an 1894 in .357 with a release date of "Spring 2024"

It will be stainless,...
Lubriplate is my choice, because if it's good for an M1 Garand, it ought to be good for a 1911. https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/gun-cleaning/gun-oils-lubricants/130-a-mil-spec-grease/ Plus,...
I checked two Tisas .45 barrels and they have the rifling starting at the chamber mouth. That's the bad news. The good news is a fellow could get a replacement barrel, made of a more machinable...
Wow, that is a good price! I didn't know Tisas was offering aluminum frames in any other models. I'm still happy I got the Aviator, as it takes me back to my younger days, when me and Ronald Reagan...

The $5 manual is the "basic" one. The 2024 Annual manual (with 6000 loads!) Is $15.
I was browsing the Interwebs and spotted this two-toned Lightweight Commander clone. It is a bargain. My first thought, when I opened the box at the shop, was, “Is it 1980 again?” The Aviator looks...
I seem to recall that the hammer spring for the Security Six was the same as the one used in the 10/22 rifle. Maybe a spring swap would help.

So now it's a race between Marlin and S&W as to who will supply the stainless, railed, and threaded 357 that I'm waiting for.

Buds Gun Shop can beat that price, but not by much when you add in a transfer fee. I'd say that's a reasonable price for a local gun store. Plus you get somebody to talk to face to face if you have a...

May I suggest you look at Hodgdon BLK CFE as a powder choice? I love Reloder 7, but it has been almost impossible to find recently.

I was wondering how you fit a 7x57 into a AR-15 platform. Turns out it is a 7mm Valkyrie, which is the "equivalent."

Imashooter2, thanks for the recommendation of the Urby apron. Mine just arrived, and it looks like a decent piece of kit. I'm a 4XL guy, and it fits me.
If budget is a concern, look at Kydex holsters. I used to turn my nose up at them, until I bought one for temporary use on a new pistol. Now I'm a fan.
Somebody had several posts here a couple of years ago, with horror stories of working at one of the Ruger plants and the managers being so obsessed with production numbers that they would refuse to...

It varies widely. I've had a couple of backorders ship in just a couple of weeks, but one for .30 Carbine took three months. The good news is Starline doesn't charge your card until your order is...
Note my screen name. As soon as I realized the 376 Steyr wasn't going to take the world by storm, I stocked up on brass. I never saw a box of loaded ammo on a store's shelves. At least I can always...
I have a last-generation R51 and I'm happy to say I've had zero failures to function when using good factory ammo. I say good ammo, as I saw at least one EweTube video where the author was happily...

ER Shaw has been building rifles for several years now. They started out using Savage 110 actions, and are now producing their own. I would be happy to buy one if it came across my path.
Primer selection is only available in the Shot shell section.
Big revolvers in .22 Hornet have been done before. Taurus and Magnum Research offered models that were even heavier than the Ruger back in 2001....
Wow. Just...wow.
