    Redhawk with sleeve and shroud vs Reg barrel

    Got one a coming in a 4.02 45/45acp Red Hawk as a replacement on a new Sp101 357 mag that had problems or issues. Hope I didn't screw up on taking the Shrouded Barrel and not a non- shrouded barrel revolver. Reminds me what the Old Dan Wesson Revolvers used to be like. I do have a Fixed Barrel...

    Gp100 3in vs sp101 3in. Both in .357 and stainless

    Both are mighty fine revolvers- I have had them both at one time or another. Funny thing today I just placed a SP101 3" in lay-away to go along with my sp101 32 h&r mag 4" revolver- Ya can't go wrong as Rugers are tough as nails It just depends if which one U like the best is all that matters. :D

    Got my new Mini 14 ranch rifle today

    Picked up my new rifle. It is a Blued Steel Mini 14 Ranch Rifle. The only thing I noticed is when you cock the rifle sometimes it is as stiff as a bored. I think that is when the Bolt pushes back the Hammer to cock the rifle. Haven't shot it yet but I will Hopefully it will get smoother when...

    New Mini 14 Gas Block Question.

    Hi all, Just put me a new mini 14 Ranch rifle in lay-away today. I noticed the 2 halves of the gas block aren't evenly spaced. My question as I have tinkered with some guns before can I even up the screw just a little without having to remove the gas block or should it go back to Ruger once it...

    New Ruger Mk4 Hunter

    Thanks all for the info about this pin. It doesn't come all the way out as I put a lot of rounds through it. It sticks out just a tad more on one side than the other. I did have some mis-fires- Took bolt out of this new pistol and gave it a very good cleaning- Gonna shoot it hopefully this...

    New Ruger Mk4 Hunter

    Hi all -Took out my new Ruger Mk4 Hunter yesterday. She shot like a dream. My one question is the last looks like a solid roll pin that goes through the frame likes to move a bit. I just taped it back to center with a plastic screw driver handle. I was wondering if the pin under a lot of...

    New 77/44... please help me with the magazine

    That reminds me of the time Marlin sent me a replaced 1895 in 45/70 with a mighty pretty stock on her. Took the rifle out of the box and I said I'll be you know what where is the bolt in this rifle. So after a good laugh and looking through the chamber to the muzzle end I called the guy at...
