Hello, Recently my grandmother gave me my late grandfather's SxS, marked "Central Arms 6012". From googling I know this gun is the same as the Stevens 315 among other names. On the right side of the receiver is stamped: "PAT.APR.20-1915". I am trying to find the patent number for this gun...

All of that for less than $400 NIB? :o Might be kinda hard to do. If you dont mind losing the magazine, I hear good things about the new NEF single shot rifles (we sell them for ~$220-230, I am sure MSRP is a bit higher). As far as Savages go, we usually have the 110x* combo with scope for about...

I am going to (semi) go against the grain here: Airsoft, while fun (amazing amounts of fun) is not that tactical. While airsoft does promote tactical thinking more along the lines of true weapons (more than paintball at least) it does not fully simulate it. When I played, the best players on our...

Does anyone else see this anti-education slant in the article? Whats wrong with "earning expensive college degrees?" I am not saying there aren't failings in our justice system where a person rich enough can get off (witness the OJ trial) almost any crime, but this article comes off as extreme...

Fantastic. I hate hate hate having to do 4473s, because people always screw them up the first (or 2nd, or 3rd. . . :( ) time around. Especially the "County" bit.

Surplus rifle has a good section on SKSes (SKS's? SKii? :) ) http://www.surplusrifle.com/sks/operations.asp. guns.ru (one of the best sites out there by the way for any military gun stuff) has section on the SKS with a link to the US army instruction manual for SKS rifles...

I've actually heard good things about Wolf .22 ammo of all things, and have seen target shooters using it in their guns. Apparently its made by some other company and only distributed by Wolf; however I have no experience with them. I like to use CCI for accurate .22 ammo.

What would a minimum FPS be for hunting varmints (such as squirrels and such) with a 4,5 pellet (.177) rifle?

Omni, as far as airsoft, I am a firm believer of "you get what you pay for." The field standard (at least a year ago when I played, probably still is) for AEGs were Tokyo Marui guns. As far as they go, to get started with them (Gun, battery, charger, spare mag) is going to be anywhere from $250...

Went to the trap section of the range (TrailGlades) with my dad today. I stopped going about 2 years ago for a few reasons (couldn't seem to break 11/25, my friends and I got more interested in rifle/pistol, out of state college), so I was slightly (understatement of the year) nervous. Left with...

The part that really hits me isn't any part of the parent's ridiculous complaint, or the school's asinine response; its the reporters inclusion of this tidbit: I figure that if someone is reading the newspaper and is actually bothering to read the entire article, I am sure they know what the...

I remember reading about this on another forum a few months ago. IIRC, the ammo was developed from the 30mm rounds the Apache fires. Very, very cool. So when do y'all think we'll start seeing those in the gunshops? :D

Yeah, those 100kV tasers don't work too well. Some friends and I bought some at a gun show to use on each other for ????s and giggles--it doesn't really hurt. In fact I wouldn't use one on an attacker for fear of making them even more angry (thats all that happened when I would get stunned while...

Private transfers. :D I am 19, and already own a CZ-52. Besides, 7.62 x 25 is for my, uhh, semi-ppsh... yeah....

I will take 2 of #1 and 1 of #2; my preference is black text, but blue is fine.
