    Source for 10/22 mags?

    Looking to get a BX-10 and a couple BX-25 mags for my new 10/22. Where do you folks get them for decent prices? Midway has decent prices, but I was just wondering if you had a good souce. Thanks. Aqualung

    Front sight idea

    Cheap, flea market fingernail polish works well, too and comes in whatever colors you can imagine.

    If SP101 held 6 rounds…

    Colt made two .38 Specials that were 6 shots. Only difference between them was the frame material. The Detective Specials are steel frame and the Cobras were alloy frame. Aqualung

    My new M1s

    Very Nice collection! I've got a '54 International Harvester M1 Garand that looks unissued for the most part from the DCM, many years ago and an Inland mixmaster I got from the CMP Aqualung

    Scales

    My bench has small fluorescent cubicle lights under the cabinet, right above the scale and it doesn't give me any issues... ...but maybe that's because I use a scrounged precision lab balance for a reloading scale: I have more issues with air movement than the lights...hence the glass doors...

    Here is the pest

    I have the red Lee set and they work well enough for me. It comes with the Lee Factory Crimp Die that I like for putting a good, firm crimp on the round since they're for my tube-fed Marlin 336. Edited to add: I don't think you'll need the 4-die set, as the 4th die is for if you want to only...

    What sight

    I went with the Williams peep sight set on my Marlin 336C. Here's the thread about it...maybe it'll give you ideas. Aqualung

    Ruger Max 9 holsters

    As I'm a very big person, my jean pockets are proportionally huge. I do carry my Max9 in a pocket holster, even with the 12-round mag. When I bought the gun, I got an IWB and an OWB holster as well. I got them all on Amazon for a decent price (actually got everything for free with Cabelas...

    Reloading 😁

    Beat me to it. For every caliber & bullet combo I use, I have a dummy round with which I adjust my dies. And I seat and crimp in one operation unless it's a caliber for which I have the Lee FCD. Aqualung

    Where to buy Max-9 parts ?

    You'll need to call Ruger Customer Service for those parts, however, they may not sell them to you outright. They may want you to send the gun to them so they can fit them to it. Good luck. Aqualung

    American 9mm

    I have one in 9mm and one in .45. They've both been flawless. Admittedly, they don't get shot a lot, but I really like the platform. I think it's a good, solid, full-sized autoloading pistol. I got mine before they came out with the compact models, but I imagine they are just as solid. I'd...

    SOLD 30 Carbine GI Ammo in Stripper Clips

    Shame I didn't see it in time, I would have driven up to pick them up, Neighbor! LOL Aqualung

    SA-35

    There's something about a Hi-Power. Here's my Mk II, Israeli surplus, I think. I did swap out for the ring hammer. Carries a bit better IWB without poking me in the back. My EDC during the "Summer of Love" a couple years ago... Aqualung

    Ruger future

    As much as many here on this site decry the "Black Rifles", "Plastic Pistols", or anything other than wood and blued steel, Ruger wouldn't survive if they didn't look at where the market is going and what people are buying. The rage is small, light, high-capacity semi-auto pistols...that's...

    Redhawk Spring Swap?

    My .41 Redhawk Hunter has what I thought was a pretty decent DA trigger pull, until I got a S&W Target Masterpiece, which pretty much spoiled me and made me think that maybe improvements can be made in my other DA revolvers. Many years ago, I'd swapped out the mainspring on my SP101 for a lower...
