I have the following "One Time Run" of Winchester Commemorative WWII Victory Ammo. It comes Commemorative wooden boxes with the ammo paper wrapped inside. Winchester only had one run of these. 5 rounds of 12 gauge M19 all brass No. OO Buckshot 20 rounds of 30 carbine Ball, M1, 110 gr. 20...

In Hornady's handbook of Cartridge Reloading, 11th Edition, on pages 176 and 177, I find several 73 to 80 gr bullets that show a C.O.L of 2.39. The internet describes the maximum SAAMI length of a .223 should be 2.26 inches. How can this Hornady load data be correct? I'm not a pro at reloading...

So Taurus was advertising last December that if you buy such and such lever action rifle you will get a "free" Heritage pistol. I wanted a Rossie .45LC anyway so it was a perfect time to buy the rifle and get a free hand gun. Bought the gun, submitted the rebate form and after a lengthy time...

I'm reloading 7.62 x 39. I've reloaded some Hornady # 30302 which is a 150 gr SST bullet and shot them out of my Ruger American Ranch Rifle, using the menu out of the Hornady 11th Edition Reloading Manual. The diameter of this bullet per the box and manual is 0.308. Using the same book, can I...

Got a new 10/22 and I'm trying to get the set screws out to mount a scope. They are in so tight that I'm stripping the heads. Any suggestion on how to loosen these enough to get them out without messing up the heads?

Just got home with a new Echelon and went directly to the Manual as I usually do on new guns and there was no manual in the box. Not sure if the gun store lost it or if Springfield just doesn't include them with this firearm as they can be accessed on line. Anyone else have this problem.

I have a friend who has this gun. It's in good condition but I don't find a lot about it on the internet. I find a lot of Mark 1's and VI's on Gunbroker but only 1 or two Mark III's. My friend want to sell it but has no idea what it's worth (generally speaking in good condition.). I don't...

This happens to me occasionally: I loaded 100 each .45LC using Berry's .45LC FP bullets. After reloading them I gauged them using my Lyman case gauge. 80 of them went in smooth as silk. 20 of them stopped about 3/4's of the way down. Some of them could be forced in but some couldn't. I...

Is there anyone on this forum that has, or has working knowledge, of an 1891 Carcano rifle, most specifically the release switch on the attached bayonet? I have an question in the Rifle Section but would like to broaden my audience.

Not sure what I expected for $149 off the internet, but I got what I got. What I have is a problem with the original bayonet release switch. Historically the release switches were a problem and the original, which I have, was replaced by a push button release switch. I took the old one off...

I purchased a new extended slide lock lever for my Glock 19. All the videos I can find on how to replace the old with the new one shows that you have to depress a leave spring to release the old one to fall out. My Glock 19, Gen 5, does not have a leave spring. I see a couple of very small...

I currently own the 11th edition of the Hornady reloading manual. I cannot find load date on #22272 which is a 55gran v-max with cannelure. They have a #22271 in the book but it does not have a cannelure. Would it be the same data with or without the cannelure. Another question would be why...

Trying to push the rear dove tailed sight off my Rossi to replace it but cannot get it to move using the normal brass punch and hammer. Simply will not move. Looking for suggestions or may the name of a sight pusher that will work on lever action rifles. Most of what I see are for pistols.

I just got a RCBS Trim Pro-2 case trimmer. In setting it up I'm having this problem. The "Fine" and "Course" adjustment knobs each have a set screw to tighten and loosen for adjusting the depth of the cut. I'm going on the instructions and on the on-line videos which show that they each turn...
