      David Clark 310 Ear Protection Earmuffs

      Have a couple of pairs of these, and there's probably more than a few other sets of these around with some of you older guys. Mine have to be 50 years old. I use mine nowadays typically as loaners, but they still work well. Was getting ready to toss these muffs, as the ear cups are shot, and...

      Skinner sights on Henry

      I have a Henry .357 Steel that's just a whole lot of fun to shoot. It has the factory supplied standard semi buckhorn sights. I can keep 23 of 25 shots in a 3 inch circle at 50 yards, with many and most of the shots stacked much tighter when I'm able to keep the buckhorn sight picture...

      North Carolina Teachers Paid to Carry?

      I favor the idea of armed teachers in schools. I take no issue with the state providing paid training for those teachers so inclined. I do not think it's a good idea to attempt to incentivize teachers to carry, by paying them extra to do so. Padding paychecks isn't what carry is...

      Aguila Superextra 22LR 40 gr. Solid

      My brother in law is a good guy and was kind to give me 3 bricks of Aguila 22LR cartridges for Christmas. I had never even heard of Aguila rimfire ammo until the shortage that began in 2012, but was aware that it had developed a reputation amongst some for being decent ammunition. Ammo was...

      Old Load Data (38 Special in Rifle)

      Does anyone by chance have an old reloading manual that lists load data for 38 Special in rifles? I'm fairly sure that such rifle specific data existed at one time. 60's and 70's vintage comes to mind. Particularly interested in data for Unique, but curious what else may have been published...

      GLOSS Leupold Vx-3i 3.5x10x40

      Got an heirloom walnut and polished blued steel rifle that needs a decent quality GLOSS scope at a great price? Don't want to pay the Leupold custom shop base price plus the nowadays $100.00 gloss finish up charge ? Hope this interests someone else. These won't last...

      Hornady 160gr. FTX w/LeverEvolution

      My .30-30 Marlin 336 is my second oldest rifle, purchased in 1984 if my memory serves. It's also the rifle I've done the least amount of loading for, of any that I own. Been meaning to try the Hornady 160 grain FTX over LeverEvolution powder for quite some time now, and never got around to it...

      Birchwood Casey HOPPER SPIT

      Happened to see an advertisement for this product today. It's apparently been on the market for a couple of years now, and is said to be a long term storage rust preventative. I wasn't aware that it existed. Birchwood Casey claims this product excelled in a salt water corrosion test, but I'm...

      Marlin Lever Action 2017 Quality

      Lots of action this year with Marlin levers here on MDS. What say you recent purchasers regarding Marlin 2017 quality? Fit and finish? Function issues with new purchases? They've made recent progress on their quality? They're still nowhere close to the JM days?

      Who's loading for .204 Ruger?

      Just recently ordered a CZ 527 in .204 Ruger. Have long had an interest in both the rifle and the cartridge, and a touch of Spring fever. Should be a fun gun, and something a little different for groundhogs and fox and the like. What powders and bullets are working for you guys? I've got...

      Lyman 600 Tumbler

      Well, for years I've known she was bound to leave me sooner or later. Wife tells me "that thing" running in the basement "doesn't sound right". Sure enough, she who sees and hears all leads me to discover that the tumbler had walked across the floor and butted up against a chair, running...

      AR-15 Maintenance/Repair Manual

      Question for the many AR guys here: What are you guys using as your "go to" AR-15 maintenance and repair reference book? Is there a reference book that's a "must have" for general maintenance and repair (as opposed to build) for the AR platform? Thoughts much appreciated!

      Need 22-250 Brass?

      No secret that Winchester and Remington 22-250 brass has been mighty tough to find the last couple of years. Hornady has sometimes been spotty as well, but more readily available. And you can get all of the Norma and Lapua you want, if you want to pay a buck a case. Stumbled across what I...
