    "The Mighty Stopping Power of a 1911"

    I don't own one, but I do love them. I think for most, the relationship began when you were packing one in the service. Depending on it to get you out of a bad situation. Coming to rely on it to not fail when needed. Over time, you begin to trust in the weapon. And a relationship is born. Much...

    OK to clean semi-auto barrel by immersing it in cleaning fluid?

    I take off the wood and use my solvent tank. Works great on the crusty old powder around the breech and the inner workings of the trigger assy without having to completely disassemble.. I clean it well including the barrel with a brush while submerged. Blow it completely dry, use brake kleen to...

    Shot my Ruger Mark IV for the first time today... My thumb bled like a stuck pig!

    Got the mark IV hunter a while ago and was disappointed with the jamming. Brought it up on this forum and was directed to a U tube video on how to "tune up" the magazines. Takes a bit of time and basically is deburring and polishing anything that rubs together. Well worth the time and have had...

    Biggest driving factor for me is looking in the gun cabinet or safe and seeing an empty spot..................

    Mark IV- Feeding my new toy

    I got a MK 4 stainless hunter last year. Kind of disappointed the first few hundred rounds. Turned to the forum experts and someone pointed me to a U tube video about tunning up the magazines. Basically deburring, sanding and polishing. Takes a little while but I have now put about 1000 through...

    Nice surprise when going through my Rugars

    I can't even remember who I bought it from. I "think" from a friend for about $150 35 years or so ago. I also have a MK 2 government target bull barrel that I usually shoot. That is untill they came out with the MK 4 and after seeing the hunters special, had to get one.

    Nice surprise when going through my Rugars

    I thought I would order a letter for some of my Rugars. .22 standard, 44 superblackhawk and 44 carbine. One day when I want to sell it may help with the value. Took a closer look at the standard and it turns out to be the bicentennial model. Nice little surprise. And yes, I have the two...
