Thirty-six years ago, at approximately 7:02 PM GMT, terrorist monsters destroyed Pan Am Flight 103 killing all aboard (259 passengers and crew) and eleven people on the ground.

Do any of you have favorite loads that you care to share? A few years ago I bought a Remington 799. It turned out to be the most difficult rifle I’ve ever owned. Never could get it to shoot so I replaced it with a Ruger American, which is what I currently own. I’m looking for a simple load that...

I can’t say enough good things about Ray without taking up way too much space here. Suffice to say that despite taking three-weeks to get money to him (thanks to our friends at USPS :rolleyes:), he delivered as promised, always communicated in a timely manner, and was a gentleman and a pleasure...

I have a mid-60s vintage Model 27-2 (ser. nr. S230xxx) I’m trying to restore. It’s in need of a replacement barrel, 6-1/2”, blue finish, preferably with black Patridge blade, but a black ramp or red insert ramp would also work. Some finish wear is OK but any substantial pitting is not. Interior...

I need two or three of these. The new production version does not suit me. I’m looking for the older type, two-piece, with the centrally located screw installed from the right side. LARGE size is preferred. Must be BLACK, and in very good to like new condition.

I need a 6-1/2 inch barrel for my M27-2, serial number S230xxx. Prefer blued finish but might be able to work with nickel. Something appropriate for that era. Let me know what you have. I’m also on the prowl for a 686 Mountain Gun barrel. Thanks for any help! :)

I have been looking at this model. It’s modern looking and I’ve been “resisting.” :rolleyes: :D Those of you who own or have experience with it, tell me what you think. I am not so interested in the factory-supplied optic. It looks a bit on the cheesey side. What I am looking for is your...

I stumbled on to this on a shotgun forum. I suppose everyone has already seen it except me, but thought I better share it with fellow dog-lovers here, just in case. :D

I have 300 pcs of .17 Remington brass, I believe all Remington brand (I have not checked every headstamp) and a set of RCBS F.L. dies also in .17 Rem., of course. The brass has been polished and appears to be in very nice shape. I have no idea how many times it has been loaded but I would guess...

8/15/15-4513TSW IS SPF. Two guns for sale, first is a nice no-rail 4513TSW, serial nr MSE46xx. This is the model with the flush-fitted 6-rd magazine. I would call it a 95% gun, very nice overall with a few very light marks on the flats of the slide that are not really scratches, just light...

The question has come up, is a 12-inch twist a good thing in a .308 Winchester "tactical" type rifle? I wouldn't know, but would like to hear some informed opinions. In this type of rifle I would think a 190-grain BTHP would be more the norm than a 168, so I am wondering if the 12-inch twist...

I have been looking at Browning X-Bolt rifles whenever I get into Gander Mountain. I don't need a new rifle, but... :) They seem like nice guns to me. But we all know sometimes looks are deceiving and sometimes one sees only what he hopes to see. So, does anyone here own one and/or know...

Being semi-desperate for a small quantity of reloadable 7.62x39 brass, I ordered 500 from a fellow out in the Las Vegas area who apparently makes a habit of selling it on Gunbroker. I can't complain about the man - he did what he said he would do, and quickly. Great service. I am a little...

I am looking for a set of the old Warne Kimber (Oregon) rings for a Kimber Model 89 BGR. This rifle does not use a normal mount base but rather has the dovetail base machined integral in the receiver bridges - each with its own recoil shoulder. Warne describes the ring as "Premier style, 3/8...

For you folks who toy around with big rifles, I have a friend who wants to go shoot a buffalo. He is not a rifle hack like some of us and unfortunately his age puts him in the "questionable for iron sights" category. I think something like an EOTech red dot sight might be a natural for him...

So what do you all know about the Kimber Solo - particularly recent production examples? I searched around here and didn't see a lot of specific info. I know the gun (1) is expensive, (2) comes with ONE magazine :rolleyes:, (3) weighs 17 ounces empty, and, yes, (4) has a thumb safety...

I was going to post this in the lounge but figured it might get moved. Not sure where it belongs. For those of you who have owned or have experience with both, do you believe the XDM (standard model, not the ported one) or the M&P9 FS is more accurate? I am not talking about someone's ability...

I have an absolutely new-in-box Storm Lake stainless barrel for the S&W M&P9 full-size model. I ordered it from Midway (their cat. nr. 550366). They are currently out of stock but their listed price is $139.99. I am asking $120 shipped to any place USPS will take it in the continental U.S. If...

Barrel located. Thanks. I am looking for a Model 41 barrel, either a 5-inch "field" barrel or a 7-3/8" barrel with the older type S&W-manufactured rear sight. Cosmetics are secondary. If the barrel has a good bore and chamber, that is the main thing. Send me a PM if you have anything. Thanks. :)

I have been fortunate that in my life there have always been a few influential friends, usually older, and certainly far wiser and more "refined" human beings than friends and acquaintances of my own age. Saturday, one very important to me crossed the great divide. My friend Dino left this world...
