I apologize for the mistake mate, I noticed 'Queensland' and it registered as 'Queenstown'. A great bud of mine is from 'Down Under' and he's gona give me heck when he finds out my mistake.

I understand! Thanks Nate.

In truth, each of our definitions' of 'handy' may depend in part upon what part of the country we live in. Back East in places like KY, TN, or PA, one needs a 'handy,' short barreled dear rifle that's fast handling because of the short range and/or brush shooting so common back there. That also mean...

If that is an 1986 DOM Uberti ask if it's the two position base pin safety or if it is the earlier "D" cam style gun. The two position safety is more desirable over the "D" cam. The "D" cam guns are more likely to go out of time. This was because the bolt fingers were ...

Need some help gents. I'm lookin' over a 1986 '73 Uberti Cattleman .357, 5.5" barrel with brass frame that seller says is excellent shape except for the usual thin spots from holster wear. Seller claims he bought it new in 1986 and that he's got only a few rounds (15 - 20 so I'm figuring 200) t...

Go Go Gadget Handgun...... I love it!! As a 45, I can carry twice the ammo as your's pictured at less weight (magwell removed for carry).

WOW ! $66 !, And I thought the $24/bx50 I'm paying my local pusher was high !

I'm sure glad I reload!! Mine cost me $5.90/bx50.

Just a couple of cents worth... Had a brief discussion with a local gun smith recently and he said that he will only buy Chiappa 92's for sale in his store since they have the best quality today (his words, not mine). They ain't cheap, since he was selling 'em for around $1100 if memory serves corr...

Just because you know mathematics doesn't mean you know politics. Many people have a talent in some area which does not carry over into interpersonal relationships or politics. Keep working on him, and you may educate him some more. Take him to the gun range and spend some time with him. Good thing...

Ran In the article Taffin makes a solid case that Alliant's Unique powder, on reloader's shelves since 1900 from one manufacturer or another, is one of the best "all around" powders for the handgun reloader. He lists his favorite Unique loads for .32 H&R Magnum, .32-20 wcf, .38 Specia...

Funny thing, I just got through talking with our own Nate Kiowa Jones (Steve's Gunz) not 10 minutes ago about that very thing and he said that the best affordable pistol is the Ruger, hands down. It has a newer internal design using coil rather than flat springs. He said the very best is US Firearms...

I carried a 16 four years day in and day out with 240 rounds whole in USAF. I have no interest in owning one. I'll stick with my cowboy assault rifles instead. If bad times and I need an EBR I'll see about picking one up from the enemy. I understand exactly what you're saying. I completely avoided ...

Well, I've got to admit that the small aperture in the tang sight is what makes it possible for me. Without it I'd only see the front sight as a blur. Another way to look at the tang sight is that it was the 'everymans' equivalent of a scope sight back in the 1800s. A good shooter could test the cap...

Actually, your information is dated. See my comment above about EMF and as I said, if you want a Brazilian made Rossi-BrazTech version or a Howa-Legacy version, you can still get one at Bud's Guns (among others I'm sure) but only from existing stock. That's interesting about Rossi's website(s). On h...

Our own Leverguns posted this about the Rossi '92. "Rossi started manufacturing their copy of the Winchester Model 92 some years ago, importing it through Interarms. There have been some changes since the late 1990's ..... From Rossi's FAQ on their website - "There is a new company, BrazTe...

I've got the Marbles on my Rossi and it's got a windage adjustment so you don't have to shim it. In addition, it comes with a set of apertures. I use the smallest one (.032") to give the best Depth of Field (length of the area that is all in focus) which allows me to see the front sight clearly...

I never got any leading from plated bullets. Before I knew I wasn't suposed to I pushed Raniers to 1750 or so FPS. Now I use 12 gr of 2400.

Stock factory sights at 300 yds! You are likely young and certainly have great eyesight. At 61+ yrs, the eyes aren't what they use to be by a long shot and I find that I can see my 1/16" wide front sight clearly by looking through a small rear peep because the main advantage of the .032" a...

Base on our own Nate Kiowa Jones' evaluation of the issues with the Chiappa '92 models, I'd be leary of any rifle made by Chiappa.
