Bought a new CZ Scorpion Evo. The charging handle is very tight. Very difficult to chamber a round. Are they all tight like this? The bolt release is also very tight. Will it loosen up? Is this a problem? Have not tried firing it yet. Thanks

Is the Vepr 12 any good as far as quality and reliablity go? Main use will be fun at range. Already have some 590A1s and a 870P for home defense.

Considering the Mesa Tactical Urbino stock for my 930. How is the install? Any permanent cutting or modifying required? How is durability and quality of stock? Any problems or concerns? Thanks

This is interesting. So the 870 Police guns have stiffer springs than the civilian models? I did not know that. This could explain it all. My gun is the 870 Police model number 24903. 18 inch barrel, wood furniture, bead sight and 2 shot mag extention.

Next time I am at my parent's house I am going to check my dad's 870 Wingmaster and see how that spring is. To my knowledge the inside of my mag tube is finished correctly. The follower I am using is whatever comes on the 870 Police Magnum, as that is what the gun is.

My favorite is my 14" 590A1. My close runner up is my 18" 870 Police.

All four guns (two M590A1s and two 870s) have clear mag tubes. I can fit max capacity amount of shells in all guns. It is just that the spring is much tighter in the 870s.

I have two M590A1s and two 870s. I love both brands. Both have been 110% reliable. One thing that has always puzzled me is why the mag spring in the 870s are so much stiffer than those of the 590A1? With the 590A1 the shells slip in so easy and smooth while the 870 is much more difficult to load...

Looking to get my best friend a 308 bolt action rifle for Christmas. Budget is $400. I realize it isn't a lot, but it is what it is. Anyways, looking at the Savage Axis Gen 2 308 with scope and rings. Also looking at the Ruger American Predator 308. Both are about the same price. The Ruger...

Yeah, I'd like a darker wood, or maybe even a slightly redish wood color, but not sure who refinishes them. I simply don't have time to do it myself...

I just completed a M92 with MA stock and Stormwerkz hinge. No complaints whatsoever. I also have the funny looking muzzle device on the end. Not sure if it does anything or not....

I am considering buying a weapon light for my Glock. Looking at the Streamlight TLR website they list the TLR-1, TLR-1 HL, and TLR-1s. I have looked at the specs but don't see any differences in these. What are the differences? Which is best for home defense? Is there a better light than...

I just ordered a M92 PAP that will be put on a Form 1 for a SBR. I was looking at some youtube reviews and I was surprised at how much these guns were selling for a few years ago. What has caused the price to drop so much with the M92 PAP? How is the quality and reliability with these...

Well, I am surprised of the replies here. Sounds like the M1A isn't worth the price. I had always thought they were a somewhat special gun, but I have never had anything close to one besides my current Garand.

So I have the usual ARs and Aks. Even a good bit of NFA stuff. Recently I have been admiring the M1A SOCOM 16. Seems like there is a lot of good attention regarding this gun. Is it just hype or is the SOCOM 16 really worth it? Oh, the gun would be a range toy. I don't anticipate going to war...
