    First outing with a 14-5

    I bought this on the forum about 6 months ago and shot it for the first time today. Been busy with work. It didn't shoot the coated bullets (125 and 158 gr.) very well. But, it did like the plain lead Zeros. I'm going to send it off to Frank Glenn for a trigger job and shoot it in our local...

    586 and 686 opinions

    Tough choice between the 6 and 8". I have both and think the 6" is more flexible. But, the 8" is a lot of fun too. The 5" 627 is pretty sweet too with 8 rounds. All of mine are equally accurate. If your goal is to tame recoil then the extra mass of the 8" is a plus. But, it's heavy for...

    Tornado brushes

    The only thing I use them for are the chambers in the 617. They make quick work (1 pass) of cleaning the crud from that dirty 22 round. I didn't know they come in brass. If I find one I'll test that out.

    Best way to clean blued cylinder

    And the winner is bronze wool and Kroil. It's clean enough for a shooter. I'm switching to coated bullets and hopefully VV N320 powder (if it is as accurate as HP38). Thanks for the help. Dave

    617 extraction

    I keep a .22 tornado brush in my range bag and on my shop bench. When it gets hard to extract I run the brush through and it fixes the issue for a few hundred rounds or so. You don't need a rod...just push the brush through with your fingers.

    new sights on 17-6

    Hi. You only need to turn the elevation screw. If you change out your front sight then be sure to keep the original. Dawson Precision makes excellent fiber optic front sights.

    625-4 is a shooter

    Hi all, I picked this one up off of the big auction site recently with the goal of using it in our local Bullseye matches. It's pretty heavy with the sight though... I tested it out at 50 yards from a sand bag rest this weekend. I'm going to go with 4.0 grains Bullseye and SNS coated 200...

    22LR cases sticking!

    I keep a .22 “Tornado” brush handy. When it starts to get sticky I makes one pass and I’m good for another two or 300 rounds.

    Which Dremel to get?

    Thanks guys. I just placed the order for a 4300 and flex shaft. Since toe nails came up I'm going to give a recommendation for nail clippers that are made in Japan. There is no comparison to these and the made in China / Pakistan **** I find in the drug stores. You can get them here and they...

    Sight Options for 4" 686

    The loader and board are made by Ansac. I understand that they are the best. I've been using it for years and shot tens of thousands of rounds with never one issue. I highly recommend it. With two of the boards you can head to the range with about 500 rounds ready to go. That's handy when...

    I like them both. I keep the snub as my house gun. Ever seen a target snubby? :)

    Sight Options for 4" 686

    It sounds like your eyes prefer a thinner front sight with more of a light bar on each side of the front sight. The standard front sight is .125 wide and the rear notch is also .125 wide. They generally install that sight setup on their short barrels and long barrels. But, the sight picture...
