      What are my options with mounting.....

      For my AR-10 Super SASS I went with the GG&G QD mount. I found it to have the appropriate height and it's ability to lock back into zero is quite good. The Armalite came with a gas buster charging handle, which was a good thing, as I do about 90% of my shooting suppressed and prone so I'm up...

      Help ID This Pistol

      They went by many names and were made by a number of firms. It's most commonly known as a "British Bulldog" or a copy thereof. The originator was Webly & Scott with "The British Bulldog", but with it's popularity so came a number of imitators. Either .455 or .44 calibre. It might say as much...

      Left handed shooter

      I don't find being left handed as a disadvantage. What slide releases I can't operate comfortably with my left hand I can with my right thumb... Note, some of the mag releases have been switched over (like on the Sigs), some have not. A few of this lefty's hand guns I don't mind...

      Suppressor accuracy field test

      I shoot almost all my long guns suppressed, from 5.56 to .300WM. Depending upon the barrel weight, the POI change between suppressed and unsuppressed can be insignificant, but is always repeatable. Good article on the topic...

      Need help picking ring height for optics

      Here's what I do and it works well for me: 1. Buy rifle. 2. Buy Mount. 3. Buy Scope. 4. Gather up a handful of pennies. 5. Stack pennies on mount until desired height of scope is reached. 6. Measure Stack. 7. Buy appropriate height rings. Remember, you're measuring from the bottom of...

      Help from S&W gurus please

      People. Until the gun actually sells and money changes hands, the value is just a debate. We have plenty of masterdebators on the internet and you ask 50 'experts' and you're going to get 40 different values ranging high to low. As an avid masterdebator, I based my value starting with...

      Who do reloads get it wrong?

      I generally stay clear of factory reloaded/remanufactured ammo with some exceptions like black hills. I stay clear of Bud and Bub selling reloads at gunshows they've assembled in their garage. I do reload my own precision rifle rounds, namely: .243 AI, .308, .300WM and .338LM, as the...

      Beretta 92FS

      Unless you're burning it up on a daily basis, the barrel will probably outlive you. I've several 9mm pistols at or over the 25k round mark that have no noticeable depreciation in accuracy. What you need to watch are the wings on the barrel block and the aft portion of the slide, which are...

      Beretta 92FS

      As a bit of clarification, the 92's that broke were before the adoption and finalization of the M9 or the addition of the slide stop FS model. These were 92F variations. The breakages were the result of using 9mm ammunition designed for the Sten gun (think 9mm +++P), and occurred during a...

      Looking for info on this 1911

      May have been issued in Vietnam, also Korea and probably WW2, too. Slide and frame are Remington Rand, as you can see, and as another already pointed out it was made in 1943. Pictures aren't great so can't tell if it went through rebuild, and if so where. Finish looks honest, as do the grips...
