      WTB Beretta 89

      Good Evening, I'm looking for a Beretta 89. Doesn't have to be in mint condition but it does have to run. ;) Shoot me a PM or respond here if you have one you're willing to sell. Thank you.

      Patched round ball from 12g?

      Hello, I've been thinking about picking up an antique percussion double. I see them in shops from time to time. Assume the gun will be a cylinder bore. I'm familiar with the procedures for loading shot of various sizes. Are there any (reliable) sources online for shooting patched round...

      Reloading for original trapdoor rifle.

      I have an old trapdoor rifle that I would like to reload for. I have a press and assorted bits for that. I shoot from 50-300 yards at a range. The videos I've watched on this topic cover the gamut - on the one end you simply fill the case with black powder and crunch it down with the...

      K98 question

      I picked up my grandfathers 98 over the weekend. He got it from another vet he served with back in the early 80s. He was told that the rifle came home with him in 45. He was told that it was a German arsenal rebuild. So it's not a matching rifle at all. It's a byf 44 with appropriate...

      Manhattan Pepperbox - .31?

      Evening, I recently purchased a Manhattan 5 shot pepperbox. The card that came with the gun listed it as .28 caliber. Thinking this was odd I had the FFL measure the bore and it came out as .30 (though I suspect it's probably .31). What is the best size lead ball to order for this thing...

      Antique Percussion Guns

      So my wife bought me a smooth bore 1867 EIG percussion pistol for my birthday. It has seen better days -- the nipple has a chip up front and the wood has been pinned in spots but everything seems very solid. It has been seriously used over the last 150ish years. There was some light rust...

      Back into BP

      The wife and kids were out of town this weekend so I took my .54 TC Hawken to 340. It's an old girl -- my dad purchased the rifle mid 70s. It has a four digit serial number on it so he may of purchased it used? Who knows. He gave it to me when I turned 18. I shot it few times, cleaned it...

      Cutting down a Mosin

      Anyone have any idea on how much it would cost to cut a full size Mosin down to M38 specs? D.

      2A, Maryland, and Money

      It occured to me the other day that MD's gun laws are written to punish and/or limit those of us who are financially less fortunate than others. For example. If I want a stock AR-15 in MD I have to undergo a waiting period. But if I *really* want a stock AR-15 right now I can go to a shop...

      Mosin Bolt - Sometimes sticky

      So I have a Mosin. Cleaned her up good and took it to the range a few weeks ago. I put 60 rounds through it and every once in a while the bolt wouldn't want to open. I didn't have to hammer it open but I did have to use more force than normal. The casings were fine. Showed no...

      .54 TC Hawken

      So I dug out my dad's old .54 TC Hawken. I haven't fired this thing in about 23 years. There was alittle surface rust on the barrel but that cleaned up easily enough. I'm thinking about taking her out sometime in the future -- I've been relearning BP basics and reading through the .54...

      Collectors Corner outside of Hagerstown

      I made the mistake of visiting Collectors Corner today -- it's like walking into a museum. I called it a mistake because now there's a ton of stuff I'd like to buy there. :( They had a single shot MG-34 for sale among other neat guns. I did pick up a Czech bayonet for my Vz.24. D.

      AR-15 A2 style optics & mount

      Afternoon, I'm looking around at optics options for my Bushmaster -- it's an A2 HB style with carry handle and no rails. The gun is about 10 years old and cost me 800-ish so I'm not looking to drop another $800-$1100 (I could buy a whole new upper + red dot for less than that). I'd be...

      If you don't have a Mosin...

      ...you should get one. Fun gun. Took mine out for the first time today and got a few 1" groups at 50 meters unsupported (yeah, yeah ... short range and all that). I fired a mix of ancient 7.62 from the 40s and some modern non-corrosive stuff from Wolf. There was a big difference in the...

      Partizan .25 ACP -- Good Stuff

      More for informational purposes later on in case someone is searching around. Today I put 50 rounds of Partizan .25 through my Beretta 21A without a single FTE. I cannot say the same for Fiocchi or Selliers and Bellot.

      C&R Paperwork

      I'm thinking about filling out a C&R application and I live in Frederick County -- where exactly do I mail off the local copy? MSP? Frederick County Police? D.

      340 Defense

      I took my wife to 340 Defense to teach her how to handle a pistol -- we live outside Frederick, MD and while I could take her to Cresap on Sunday I choose to take her to a low-stress range first. It was a good trip and she had a lot of fun. There was maybe 4 other shooters there. For...

      Glock .22 Conversion Kits

      Anyone have any experience with any of the various .22LR conversion kits for Glocks? I have a G-21 that I really like to shoot but .45 costing as much as it does kind of limits me. I'd like to get a good conversion kit but there are several of them out there. Side Topic: I've noticed...
