    Range day - Saturday June 11, 2016

    I spent a couple hours at the range this morning with a friend. I took a 1954.3 Mosin Nagant T53 and my 1972 Romanian M1969 Trainer Rifle. I took a couple hand guns, but the pistol range was busy with a competition so we just hung out at one of the rifle ranges. Both rifles shot great. The...

    Keltec PF-9

    Anyone else have a Keltec PF-9? I purchased one a couple months ago from a local FFL that makes holsters. And I absolutely love it. A local gunshop sells the magazines which is good, because it only comes with 1 mag. It's a little smaller than my XDS and just a little bit slimmer. I can...

    BubbaDX feeds his addiction

    So yesterday after work I stopped by my favorite local gun shop to pick up a pistol case and check out what new items were in the gun case. I found a used Ruger GP100 with a price on it of $525. It had the original box and everything, including the original owner's purchase receipt from about...

    Czechoslovakian CZ-52

    I added another military surplus firearm to my collection. About 2 months ago I went into a local gun shop over lunch and they had this CZ-52 in the used gun case. I put it in lay-a-way and picked it up just a couple weeks ago. This is my first CZ and my first semi-auto surplus pistol. It's...

    Smith & Wesson Model 64-2

    Friday while I was out for lunch I stopped in at a local gun shop that is close to where I work. While browsing the used gun counter I spotted a nice looking S&W revolver. The lockup was tight and there was absolutely no wear on the grips. It was marked $459 and I could not leave it there. I...

    Lead hardness test kits

    Anyone have experience with lead hardness test kits? There are several out there, some more expensive than others. I found one made by Lee Precision that was under $70 shipped to my house. I watched a couple Youtube videos and it looks fairly simple to use. It should give me an decent idea...

    Anyone have experience with the Elmer Keith loads for 44 Magnum? I ran across this site while googling the Lyman #429421 mold. Here is a link to an article where he talks about his loads for 44 Magnum. http://www.darkcanyon.net/Reloading_the_44_magnum.htm

    Armslist score

    I met up with a gentleman I met on armslist today. He had a listing for some 44 magnum reloading supplies. I bought a few primers, cases and bullets.

    Scored some lead ingots

    Today I bought 60 lbs of lead from a local seller I met on Craigslist. He was selling it for $1.50 a lb. I got 40 lb of soft lead that I will horde and 20 lb of hard lead that I will use to mold bullets for my 44 magnum. Now to scope out molds and what powder I want to use.

    Sig P290RS

    Anyone have a Sig P290RS? I have been seeing these pretty cheap and they look like a good CCW. The reviews I have watched it seems people like them. I've heard complaints bout the takedown, but it does not look that hard to me. Any experience with these?

    1907 Spandau Gewehr 98 German Mauser - picture heavy!

    I've had this only a couple weeks but really like this Mauser. This is a 1907 Gewehr 98 made by Spandau. This rifle is amazing in just how intact it has remained after all these years. It has a very deep counterbore and is not importer marked. Your guess is as good as mine to how it got here...

    I seen this at a local gun shop last Thursday. I took a picture of the serial number and did as much research as I could, and went back on Friday with money in hand to buy it. What do you think?

    New gun safe

    Today I spent some of my tax returns on a new gun safe. I picked it up at a local gun shop for $715 out the door. It's rated for 45 minutes at 1200 degrees. It's a 36 gun Sentinel. This is about the largest safe I can get down my basement steps. What do you think? Good buy...

    Ruger Old Model Single Six 22LR

    I had the day off work yesterday to run a couple errands so I took the time to visit 4 of the 5 local gun shops that I frequent. The first two were pretty uneventful although I did get to hold the new Glock 42. At my 3rd stop I ran across this little beauty. It's used, and shows significant...

    1942 Springfield M1 Garand

    I stopped in a local gun shop this summer and found this gem. I wasn't really looking for a Garand but I have always wanted one. It's a 1942 Springfield with an issued stock and came with a cleaning kit. The stock has a few bruises and shows use, but has not been abused. Here are a couple...

    Range time with my daughter

    I took my daughter to the range today for some target practice. Sorry, no pictures but we did have a lot of fun. My son decided to spend the day with his girlfriend instead of shooting with us. So I got to spend some 1 on 1 time with my daughter. We took the Ruger 10/22, Ruger 22/45, Ruger...

    SP101 on lay-away

    I was in a local gun shop today and they had a used SP101 in the case. It was not like other SP101's I had seen. It had a longer barrel and fiber optic front sight. I asked to see it and it looked brand new. No scratches, no wear marks and the riflings are nice and crisp. They told me they...
