Last week we had an unexpected surprise: pre-travel visas are now required for a whole bunch of countries that heretofore didn't require them. We're scheduled to cruise to Australia next month and found that the Oz is now one such country. Pre-covid, we visited a whole bunch of countries...

OK, there's a story here. Since retirement my wife & I have been travel-junkies. Somehow, she's convinced me to go on a cruise that will terminate in Sydney, Australia this fall. That's alright with me, but we've got to get back to PA sometime. I can't swim that far and 14-16 hours in a...

Scottie of SGW describes and demonstrates his methods of refinishing various firearms. He does a S&W 1902 (I think) starting at around 2:05. It's a long video and contains some low-key self-advertising, but I found it to be interesting and informative (....enough to convince me that I...

I will be selling off some of my accumulated grips over the next few weeks. All forum rules apply; pricing does not include shipping. So if you're interested, please include a ship-to location so that I can figure in the shipping costs. USPMO is preferred. I'll break this up into sub-groups...

Their ad says that they have S&B SR primers for $420 per 10,000. Not too bad of a price these days, if they're not a scam site. I've never dealt with them and was wondering if anybody here has. Fortunately I don't need them (...yet), but at that price it seems almost too good a deal to pass...

I ran into an old acquaintance at the range yesterday, a guy that I'd worked with at the local nuc plant and a person that I'd had a lot of respect for. Anyways, he had cobbled together a device that was pretty ingenious that I thought I'd share with this intrepid forum. It was a portable...

I see that Roze still has some 9mm 125 gr .355 FPFMJ's in stock. However, their description says "This bullet was specifically designed to be loaded in a 357 Sig case". Has anyone tried them in a 9mm Luger? Anyone know of any problems with these in a 9x19? I would much prefer HPFMJ's, but I'm...

Went out to try to get a haircut today and for some reason wound up at my LGS. They're getting cleaned out of all their EBR's and plastic fantastic stuff, and as a result of this the owner is starting to bring out some more interesting stuff from the depths of his back room. Attached are a...

....or perhaps some some bad ju-ju. Saw this today at my LGS and thought that it may provoke some interest and comments here. Apparently it's a BTAF overrun edition, sold to a civilian and then re-sold to the LGS. While the BTAF provenance may add some interest and value to the 640-1, having...

...too much brass left at the range by all these newbe shooters. It's gotten to the point that even us brass scroungers are leaving stuff on the ground. Me and my Monday morning brass hounds are wearing ourselves out doing the chicken dance in all this heat. I find myself deliberately...

I was listening to NPR today on the way back from the grass dump (...don't ask me why I had to listen to that station). Anyways, they were talking to some female scientist about how this past Wednesday a consortium of "concerned scientists" decided that it would be a great idea for scientists...

I was at my gun range scrounging brass after one of the local police agencies had finished practicing; found this and thought it would be of interest: Apparently it's what happens when you mistakenly load a 9mm cartridge into a 40 magazine. The loaded rounds were also from the same practice...

This month's magazine has a nice article (April, 2020, page 41) about a reader's first experience with a 1941 K-22, called "A Cattail and a K-22". Nice story, but the accompanying photo does not appear to be a 1940-ish K22; neither an Outdoorsman nor a Masterpiece. Rather, it appears to me to...

Saw this today at my LGS:

I stopped into my LGS today to shoot the breeze and saw this; a brand new, straight out of the box 686: Action was completely locked-up; most likely the internals are similarly rusted. Not mine, and I didn't ask which distributor it came from, but an example of what can happen when they get...

Well, it was too cold to shoot last week and I was stuck at home playing “Mr.Fetchitt” for my wife who is recovering from a hip replacement (….and taking full advantage of my better nature), when a bout of OCD must have come over me. I found myself in the basement reloading room wondering about...
