A great gun would be an exact copy of the original Model 27 .357 Magnum, but in stainless. Call it the "Classic 627". Half-lug barrel, with 3Ts, recessed cylinder holes, etc. When it first came out, the 627 had a full-lug barrel and other unwelcome changes. Variations should come AFTER the...

I have some old Winchester .22LR ammo in the original yellow cardboard boxes. Some boxes have normal looking bullets, but others developed a white oxide coating on the bullets. There are 2,000 in 4 bricks. Normal velocity type. All boxes were from the same shipment in the 1960's. I got them...

I posted previously for a source of .41 Mag snap caps, but it disappeared. Here goes again. I cannot find any source, even the large companies that advertise their snap caps. Some of them have snap caps for weird calibers I never heard of, but not .41 Mag!!! Can anyone tell me how to get...

I have never been able to find .41 Mag snap caps, in any form, whether metal, plastic, etc. Not at gun shows, Internet, gun supply places, etc. I did see snap caps for some weird calibers though. Does anyone know of a company that DEFINITELY makes them in .41 Mag? Please help. ADash

I wanted to decide which one of the following 3 presses to use for heavy power use, and sell the other 2. (A2, A3, A4(Big Max). They are all still in their original boxes and never have been used. If that sounds weird, it is because I have been using an original issue Rockchucker and a Lee...

I own a number of RCBS reloading presses, including the "Junior" press, the "Rockchucker", and the larger presses such as the original "A" (A1), A2, A3, and A4 ("Big Max"). The "A" was the very first RCBS press, and is an olive drab color. It is used, but in fine shape. I never used it. The...

The Chiefs Special in 4-inch with adjustable sights would be ideal for many purposes: Concealed, kit gun, plinker, defense, etc. Either in stainless, such as the Mod. 631 but in the larger .38 Special, or in blue. S&W has resisted making this 4" configuration, but they have made the Mod...

Anybody ever use the PMC hollow cookie cutter ammo? It has a completely hollow bullet! Nothing but the copper jacket, except a temporary base to the "bullet", which flies off when it exits the muzzle. I have one box in .44 Special, and a few boxes in .38 or .357. They were suddenly...

I have been searching for "snap caps" for my .41 Magnum, but no success! There are plenty of these at gun shows, etc. in almost every caliber made, EXCEPT .41 Magnum. I feel better when dry firing if I use a snap cap, to protect the firing pin and adjacent parts. Anyone know where to find ones...

I am currently in need of a good reloading manual for a large bore caliber. It is for an 8-inch Howitzer, and I am new to reloading. I have been working on my first load for 4 years now, used over 100 pounds of Bullseye powder, and the case is barely half-full. I'm not sure how much more powder...

I narrowly escaped from Southern Kallyfunya a few years ago with my guns (unmelted), and landed on the shores of the Boise River in Idaho. There was no Statue of Liberty greeting me, but it felt just as good. Despite not having a visa, I settled in just fine. Each time I visited a gun store...

I fired a couple of CCI Stingers in an Iver Johnson tiny semi-auto, which is similar in size and looks to the Walther TPH .22 LR. I saw smoke coming out of the bottom of the magazine well, and my right hand had black smudge and blood on it! The brass had split, and a tiny piece was embedded in...

I have some problems with concealed carry holsters. Maybe it's my body shape. I'm just 5'5", 132 pounds. Not really skinny. First of all, I tried the PPK,S&W 649, and compact Para Carry .45 LDA. They poke me in the right side kidney till it hurts. I also found out that my slacks need to be...

Now that S&W is gradually bringing back the "Classics", how about a replacement for both the old Mod. 16 "K32" and the later Mod. 16-2 .32 H&R Mag (with full rib)? I would like to see a new Mod 16,that looks exactly like the original Mod. 19 (and 66) .357 Mag, but chambered in .327 Fed. Mag...

Among the modern reloading writers, Rick was about the best. He was with Shooting Times for many years, then suddenly disappeared, with no mention made in that magazine. Does anyone know of his whereabouts? I would love it if a book could be published, consisting of reprints of his articles of...
