    Blazer ammo

    I haven’t shot much Blazer Brass but, I’ve shot multiple cases of the aluminum cased Blazer in 9mm and 45 acp and never had a problem.

    RUGER M77 TANG 358 WIN RSI????

    Ruger in 358 always seem to pop up when my cash flow is low. I’ve seen tang safety 77’s, blued Hawkeye’s, and stainless all weather guns. When a Ruger American in 358 popped up on my local gun trader sight I grabbed it. Great rifle! I’m considering having a short action Savage rebored to 358 by...

    Rechambering a Speed Six cylinder

    I have a blued Speed Six in 38 spec. I would like to convert to 357 magnum. I have always heard the 38 and 357 guns were the same except for the depth of the chamber. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    What model is this?

    I picked this up years ago and have never seen one quite like it. Model 77, tang safety, round top action. 24” medium weight barrel (.615 at the muzzle) with the barrel drilled and tapped 5” forward of the action. I have always assumed these were for a scope block. To me, the odd thing is the...

    AI mag won't lock into rifle

    I to have an American Predator converted to AI style mags. Since I have a Gunsite Scout I also have a pile of magazines. Old 3 and 5 round Ruger polymer mags work As do new model Ruger mags, Magpul mags and AI style steel mags. Maybe call Ruger Customer Service?

    Hawkeye rifles ?

    Sadly, Ruger seems to have lost interest in blue steel and walnut. I guess you have to make what sells.

    Ruger scout

    Love mine, still looking for another…..18.7” stainless model. Hoping Ruger will add a few more chambering. My vote is for the 358 Winchester

    Gunsite Scout, .308, Stainless/Synthetic

    I think one of the reasons for the accuracy of the Ruger Scouts is due to the stout, short barrel. Mine seems to shoot everything well,from premium match ammo to steel cased Wolf.

    Ruger PCC

    Mine is hiding in the safe. Installed the Glock magwell and caught a sale on Magpul 20 round Glock mags. I also removed the rear sight, installed a scope base from an 336 Marlin and topped it with a Tasco ProPoint. Wicked fun little carbine, accurate and cheap to shoot!

    Ruger American AI magazine problem

    I wonder if the magazine catch is a hair to long. You can also try some of the Magpul AICS pattern magazines. Been using them in my Scout and am pleased with them.

    Speed Six 9mm original moon clips

    I had a couple S&W 940's over the years and found certain 9mm cases had slightly different extractor grooves. This lead to a problem closing the cylinder on occasion.

    Bolt lift force

    Thanks guys. Post deer season, I think I will hit the cocking area with some valve lapping compound and work it while I watch TV. Once it's smooth I'll hit it with some lube.
