    History of the old model Single Six revolver!

    Great article along with lots of information from the knowledgeable members on here. I have a 4 5/8" Single Six with the varnished walnut grips with the serial # 1346XX that I knew was from 1959 but I didn't know when Ruger first offered the gun with barrel lengths other than the 5 1/2"...

    Old Army 1976

    I have one in stainless that I bought several years ago at an estate auction. I got no box or papers with it so I don't know much about it other than it's a Liberty marked gun. It had been fired some but was clean as a pin when I bought it. The serial number is the four digit type before the...

    Century arms 98 Mauser

    You call the rifle a Century Arms 98 Mauser but Century is an importer, not a builder. They have assembled lots of semi autos by using domestic and imported parts but by no means do they manufacture 98 Mausers. To properly evaluate the rifle you need to know exactly what it is. I think they...

    WTB: Leupold 2.5-8

    I have a Vari-X III 2.5-8 with gloss finish and duplex reticle that I bought several years ago at a local sporting goods store that is still NIB. It has set in my gun safe ever since I bought it and has never been used or even mounted. Since I'm in my "golden" years with some health problems...

    Ruger 77 357 bullet stuck in barrel

    You can probably shoot factory 38 spl loads in your rifle with no worry about stuck bullets as long as you stick to lead bullet loads.

    Can Ruger Hawkeye .223 shoot 5.56?

    I have a std blue and walnut 77 MKII in .223 and I've shot 5.56 in it with no problems. Now I have only fired it with M193 55 gr ammo and have never tried to chamber the 62 gr green tip. I think it has a 12" twist barrel so I never thought about trying 62 gr. I prefer the 55 gr ammo anyway...

    Alliant 2400 Comparision

    Hodgdon Longshot has a burn rate close to Bluedot and works well in your cartridges if you're not looking for absolute top velocity.

    MAK-90s

    I have a MAC-90 with a milled receiver that is marked Made in China but has no Norinco marking. There is faint remnants of another marking that has been scrubbed that looks like Polytech. The serial number has no letter pre-fix.
