I've got a friend who has a M&P15 that has a target crowned barrel, fixed folding stock (With the allen screw and no dimples on the recoil spring tube). It has the railed FWD gas block and the serial number is just over 98000. He bought it w/o sights and wants irons on it for cheap. I told him...

I've got a couple first gen M&P's that I can tear down to see but I'm lazy and thought I'd ask before I do it. Anybody checked this out?

Here's the Federal Register link to ATFs' final rule on pistol braces. Let the games begin: Federal Register :: Factoring Criteria for Firearms With Attached “Stabilizing Braces”

Are there any notification requirements if you had for example a pistol in 40S&W and wanted to get a 9mm barrel for it that are required by the state? Where I'm at folks routinely get barrels for Glocks, SIG's, S&W's and others that are in different calibers than the one the weapons were...

Last week I was out at the shooting spot scrounging brass. Among the cases I picked up was a 7 round string of steel cased 45ACP. I had shot the last of my EC 43 years ago and finding the shell cases made me smile. We routinely have folks asking if "old" ammunition is still good. The stuff I...

I run an OEM 9mm barrel on my Ver1 40 Shield. It has the gap on either side but operates well. I've been thinking about getting a S&W 9mm bbl for my Ver1 M&P40. Are they the same width in the chamber area?

Went out Friday between storms to chrony my buds 5gr Red Dot Jeff Cooper load, but that's another story. I took some of my Herco loads to see what they actually do. Been shooting them about 10 years now and finally got to see 'em in action. The bullets I used were the last of the ones I...

I've been consolidating 240 grain cast bullet containers for my 44's and since that happened I've got over 130 pounds of them. I wanted to get a 44 Special load for plinking and in digging around found on the 1987 Hercules list a load for 8 Grains of Herco that they list as running under under...

Yesterday I saw a 4 inch 65-2, SN 7D60495. It's PD stamp on the left side was FRPD 94 The owner had no idea which dept. had issued it. SO I did a search and the only town big enough to issue at least 94 of this model was Falls River Massachusetts. I haven't contacted them yet to see if they...

I got a 686-3 cylinder I'm going to send off to get set up for 9mm moon clips. It's skinned up. Based on what I've read it's a 400 series stainless. Has anyone refinished a blackened Stainless S&W revolver?

I just read the thread about brass tumbling. It made me wonder, Has anyone worn out a set of steel dies? I have a set of RCBS 38 special dies I bought in Henrietta OK in 1978 at the pawn shop. It had grit in the sizer and scratched cases until I took a GI 308 chamber brush to it. The...

While netting and looking for the article on supposed model 10 heat treat for the 357 10-6 Smith did for New York, I found a Dec 1982 report the Department of the Army did at Aberdeen Proving Ground involving the S&W model 15-3 K frame and Colt D frame Diamondback. Some of the +p loads were...

I was going thru a 50 cal can of commercial 308 my dad had. It's mostly 150gr Win & Rem Powerpoints and Clean Bores, the usual stuff from then. In the bottom of the can was a box that had 24 RA-61's in it. They are pristine. For S&G''s I touched one with a magnet. It stuck to it. I "think"...

I see their barrel less model 10"s are now $180.00 vs the $150.00 they had been. That's still a decent price but not for me.

Here are the barreled barrel-less model 10's I got from J&G sales. I had a 4" barrel and one of this Forum's members was gracious enough to sell me a couple 2" barrels. It took me 2 times to get him the check because the first time I didn't sign it. My third gun showed up on 30 May 20 and I...

I got in on the good deal that Nick B. found and posted on 30 Mar 20 for the 44 caliber 180 grain XTPs from Third Generation Shooting Supply I didn't know how slow the Hornady XTP's could be shot and still expand properly. Yesterday I asked Hornady's help desk and they said minimum of 800 feet...

What"s the model 10, 2 inch barrel front sight height ? 1/8th of an inch, 3/32nds? I regret I don't have any 2" K frames and am trying to correct that situation.

11 Mar 20 I ordered some Federal Law Enforcement 12 Gauge 9 Pellet 2-3/4" 00 Buckshot from Lawman Police Supply in North Carolina. I called them today and the guy answering the phone said their venders were at least 2 months behind on fulfilling orders. I read an article yesterday about how...

I want to load and shoot em. Also who's the shipper? I figure a sedate load would be about 6.5gr of Herco. enough to expand but mild enough your teeth don't rattle.

I have some 38 130 gr HST jacketed wad cutters that need to run over 800 fps for proper expansion. Revolvers shooting them will be Centennials, 442-2, 640-1 in .357, and 37-2. Hornady 6th Edition, Volume 1, page 747 loads for the 140 gr XTP-HP show Power Pistol at about 6 grains in the upper...
