      Striplin Custom Guide Rod for Browning Buckmark?

      Be really sure your top strap screws are down and tight. Any slop at all (just a few thousandths) and your bolt will loose its consistency.

      Chicago sues Glock because easily modified

      Unfortunately this is serious for Glock. More than likely Mediation or total loss of suit will result in an engineering change at the very least. Could be worse as the Rand D trail for Glock may be a cloudy one especially if they chose not to change the production when advised. The Ford Pinto...

      HB1235

      As written, does the bill include exemptions from suit for irresponsible engineering or manufacturing of firearms that hurt, mame or kill their users for making unsafe or faulty equipment? For instance the many class actions that have been lost by Remington, Ruger, Colt etc? Hoping INGO legal...

      Holster material least likely to cause wear

      There are some better than others. However, compromising your finish of your firearm should not be the first consideration. If you want a pristine gun to carry…don’t carry it.

      Anyone else have issues getting your wife to do any shooting?

      Most husband and wife teams are competitive, whether they realize it or not. When I have the wife alone as a student, we eliminate the fear and turn it into fun. Always. I try not to have the pair together as the rivalry bleeds out into the bay. Also, he is usually the one who misguided her...

      Flitz polish.

      The first reason to clean brass is dignity. The second reason is to reduce dirt and carbon from your dies. Especially high volume shooters. The third reason is it is a good time to inspect your brass for gremlins. Split cases wrong caliber bad primer pockets and unreloadable flash holes...

      FO Sights for street?

      Sorry. Your right. I get carried away sometimes with the crazy crap I see. Love my Model 10.

      FO Sights for street?

      Yep. Almost every day and always at a match, I see the tweaked guns go down. FO, CO, Iron sights, scopes etc all need maintenance. Of course, one has to be aware of their equipment. Before you holster is the time to go over any out of place equipment. Unfit slide stop, proper haptic response...

      Why are lever guns so attractive?

      Forearm looks looks too long for good balance, but we will see when I can handle one.

      Why are lever guns so attractive?

      The levergun is classic. Actually shooting them is classicer. Many rag authors over the years have written that levers are cumbersome and inaccurate, usually bolt target rifle scribes. I’ve been proving them wrong for over 50 years. I have been blessed to really wring out the levergun line up...
