I'm thinking about an old pre "C" and "V" serial number M&P, but I've never heard of a 4 screw prior to the late '50s. The screw isn't in the trigger guard and doesn't even have a hole for one. Anyone have any enlightenment? I haven't looked to see what Supica has to say, so that might be a...

It has been raining here for the past 3 days, so no shooting. :( Thought I would cast a few bullets, with an emphasis on few. The Lyman 4 cavity I have is sure getting heavy way too fast, but I did manage to get these done. I have a little more tin in these than I normally use and they are...

My SIL has a new .40 S&W and bought the components, dies & etc. to begin reloading for it. Being curious, I thought it might be good to check for function before we load a bunch of them up. I got my daughter to shoot this video so I could hold the flashlight. The first shot is a Winchester...

That time of the year is approaching quickly and I have to express my thankfulness for a good forum to participate in. Of course, that isn't all I'm thankful for, because I also have to acknowledge the source of the blessings I have received. I suppose the Doxology says it about as good as I...

There was some discussion on whether I should shoot this gun or not and I chose to not shoot it. As far as I can determine it may have been shot at the factory, but there isn't much evidence of it ever having been shot. It does not have the correct grips or grip screw, but the condition should...

Since I have been looking at mouse guns lately, I also looked locally and found this 14.7 ounce instead. It's a 1953 airweight (pre-M12) that has an aluminum cylinder and frame. Supposedly, the cylinder won't take full power .38 Special military ball, but that wouldn't keep me from...

and came up with this M19-3. I traded too much, but it was with #1 son, so I guess what I gave doesn't matter a whole lot. We did shoot it for the first time since he's had it and I can understand why people with light weight .357s don't shoot them a whole lot and this one isn't what I...

I was bemoaning the lack of a berm today and #1 son showed up with a skid steerer, complete with a bucket. So, we went to work on making a decent 100 yard berm, so I can shoot out of the back window of the loading room. Here' the view from the window. and here it is on zoom. While we...

I was down in Lufkin for a shopping foray and had to stop in the friendly hole in the wall gun shop. There, hiding deep in the revolver cabinet, was a pretty nice M27-2 nickel plated with 8 3/8" barrel. I've only been wanting a M27 for about the last 40 years, so today was my chance and I...

The State of Texas has enacted a law that protects the right to exist for "sport shooting ranges". Those ranges include i.e. private land where discharging firearms is a periodic activity by no fewer than 20 people per year. It does not protect ranges that begin operation after September 1...

The server has gone belly up, so John is in the process of rebuilding the whole thing. It may take a while, but you are at another good place that I frequent quite regularly.

Boudreaux sure has a disliking for possums. This is about the 5th he has "treed" this year. He assured me, just a little while ago, there was something under the fish pond liner by the back fence and made a couple of forays under there to make sure. Finally I lifted the side of the liner and...

I see a lot of posts on various forums that would lead one to believe hog killing is best left to heavy magnum loads. I've also had people scoff when I say hogs don't kill real hard, i.e. they're pretty easy to kill. I have posted images of dead hogs that met their demise through the judicious...
