      Barn Find Question?

      Well... I purchased a 150 lb. lot of wheel weights a couple of years ago. I spent a couple days examining each weight to separate the zinc weights from the lead weights. I then cast lead ingots of what was left. I guess I ended up with about 70 lbs of ingots after several days of work. The...

      Questions on buying off of gunbroker

      Hi, I normally use the same FFL in Larose for my on-line purchases. I do notify the FFL of my purchase (by email) to make sure that he will be able to accept the shipment. I also provide him with the necessary information for him to send a copy of his FFL to the vendor. After winning the...

      The Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore has them from $319.99 on up (Shipping included) That is about a third higher than what I paid a year ago. I have had excellent service from them.

      WWII German k98 Bayonet

      I would recommend that you rub some mineral oil (or any light oil) with a soft cloth to clean and oil it. You can lightly scrub the rust with a 100% copper Chore Boy scrubber. Do not use steel wool. The Chore Boy Copper Scouring pads can be found on Amazon. They are hard to find in grocery...

      I Need a Youth/Compact Rimfire...

      Here are my personal thoughts (worth about ½ a cent). I purchased a stainless Crickett for my grandkids to use. They lost interest pretty quickly. I found the rifle too difficult to shoot because I could not get my head low enough to see the sights without canting the rifle. However, I...

      Ruger PC Carbine 9mm Take Down

      I purchased one about three weeks ago. It is heavy, weighing 7lb 4oz with a red-dod and no magazine. I have only shot around 50 rounds of Federal and some handloads. I am planning to compare the bullet speeds to that of a pistol. I was shooting at a target mounted on a box with about 5...

      .38spc range gun?

      Hi, This is only my personal opinion, so take it for what it is worth. I have both a Llama Martial from the 60s and also a S&W pre model 30 nickel model from the 50s. Both have excellent bores. The S&W has the squarish grips and the Llama has imitation pearl grips. Both of these revolvers...
