    Factory letters......what is your most shocking/abnormal

    I have a Remington .22 five shot pepperbox, ring trigger pistol mfg. by Remington and Sons with a Remington letterhead letter stating the date of mfg and configuration of grips etc. It appears that Remington did letter guns at one time. The letter came with the pistol when I purchased it...

    S&W Highway Patrolman ONLY loads

    I have reloaded for my m-27 many "hot" rounds using published reloading manuals and while they were fun to shoot, I decided the fireball and pain to my wrist were not really worth the effort. Accuracy suffered also. My preference to get the same result was to gravitate to "cherry bombs and...

    X-Treme Plated Bullets In .38 Spl

    I use 4.8 Gr. of Unique for my S&W Model 28 with six inch barrel. A comfortable load to shoot and definitely not a "magnum" load. Neal39

    410

    I purchased a 411 in .40 cal. (same gun, just an earlier version and holds an eleven round magazine) eight months ago for $350. Excellent pistol and fits all my needs. I use the 410 magazines as 11 round magazines are not allowed in California. Neal39

    629 explodes

    Glad no one was injured, but -- I think a .44 mag. Smith and Wesson shipped in an egg carton would be questionable in the first place. NEAL39

    Teach me about the .380 caliber

    I have a Mustang .380 that is too expensive to shoot. It killed my chronograph with one shot. It has a life sentence in the darkness of my gun safe for the rest of it's evil life. Neal39

    Reduced recoil 12 ga house gun loads?

    If the .410 works-- Stay with it. Forget about all the other "things" out there that may/or may not work for you. If you really want to clear the hallway use a "Claymore." Neal39

    How tight to tighten wood grip screws?

    Silvershot, Snug is best, especially on new grips. They settle in and might loosen up a bit as you shoot, but it is easier to snug them up as they work in place to your firearm. Too tight and you run the risk of pulling the threaded bushing of the right side grip through the wood. Yeah -- I...

    What's your pleasure?

    Hey ! I would gladly carry all three. One is never enough, two is marginal, but three is just about right. Neal39

    Tulammo brassmaxx

    I reload .40 S&W and a friend gave me 50 rounds of once fired, steel case, by TulAmmo. Each round jams in the chamber tightly and must be driven out with a wooden dowel. It will not eject after being fired from my S&W 411. All my brass reloads by other mfg.'s eject fine with the same powder...
