I just pick up a new (to me) rifle today and I'm not really sure of the glass that I want to put on it. The rifle is a Winchester 70 Safari Express manufactured in New Haven before the move to Georgia. The caliber is 375 H&H so it'll need to be able to take some recoil. It doesn't need to...

Need some help guys. Today I entered a gun shop which had a Stevens Favorite 1915 but instead of the usual patina or fading case coloring, this one was nickel on the receiver, block and lever. I first thought it might be a refinish but there wasn't the usual tell tail signs. Can anyone...

Been thinking about getting rid of 2 of the 3 rifles below to focus on one rifle and accessories for it. The problem is I like all 3 rifles, each have their strengths and weaknesses. I guess if you had to limit yourselves to "ONE" of the 3, I'm asking which one and why? I've just purchased a...

I just purchased a Mk3 Webley 4" which the cylinder has been cut to accept 45acp in moon clips. I have read in some forums that these guns aren't safe. But seeing that the Brits general re-nitro proof any firearm that would have such a modification to insure the safety of said weapon, and the...

Most gun nuts take great pride in their collect. Unfortunately over the years the glass gun cabinets which where prominently displayed in the family room or den had to be replaced with gun safes hidden in closets or special rooms far from prying eyes. No longer do gun nuts publicly boast...

In the process of getting a Springfield M1A1 SOCOM 16 and I'm concerned about getting a quality magazine. Most issues I've ever had with any semi-auto (rifle or pistol) has been primarily due to the magazine whether it was the spring, follower lips or the hole/tap which the release holds...

What is it that turns people on about Black Rifles? We know that those that hate them primarily fear them out of ignorance, transfix upon cosmetic things like bayonet lugs, pistol grips, flash hiders, telescoping stocks and their ability to accept high capacity magazines. I personally enjoy...

We always seem to read and see postings of pictures concerning your typical Black rifles but rarely do we see a posting for bullpups! I've really not given the bullpup much thought up to this point. This has been chiefly due to their cost which has generally been prohibitive as well as other...

I just purchase a Stevens Model 44 in 22LR the other day on GunBroker. I don't much about them other then they're a adult size version of the Stevens Favorite and would be comparable to the Winchester 1885 Low Wall as far as market. While the seller list the barrel as target I've seen couple...

I'm currently looking at 2 different bolt action 22LR. The first is a used Anschutz Achiever the second is a NIB, CZ 455 Lux. What I intend to do is use it to plink, or friendly competition and hunt probably mostly tree rats (aka: squirrels) and rabbits. While the reputation of the Anschutz...

I have several firearms but I'm trying to choose one rifle and one handgun that if I had to get rid of everything else I would keep. What I would like to know is if you had these same firearms and had to make a choice which one would you keep and why? Update: To clarify my purpose, I'm...

The other day I walk into the local gunshop and seen a Rock River Arms Elite Operator in 5.56 NATO seating on the shelve and just had to have it. I've heard such great things about the RRA rifles that I went home got my Bushmaster E2S carbine with a RGuns upper and traded it in on the EO...

Some time a go I purchased a Aimpoint M4 red dot for my AR that nearly cost as much as I paid for the rifle that it's mounted on. Since then I've been looking for cheap but rugged red dot for my AK but not sure what to look for or even where to start? Seeing that I'm not trying to make a...

Can anyone explain to me what the differences are between the IMBEL and the Stg 58 are? I'm thinking of getting a FN FAL again but I'm not sure of which one to get. I have heard of both as well as the L1A1, and in the 80s owned a Springfield SAR 48 Bush which I believe was a IMBEL manufactured...

I'm kind of new to the AR scene so I'm not really sure what if any difference there is to the different manufactures of A3 uppers. I currently have a Bushmaster XM15-E2S that has the A2 upper. I want to change it to the A3 upper so that I can use modular rail accessories. Checking...

I was just putting around on the internet today and came across a YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBjUDCyDCuI&feature=player_detailpage#t=49s) where a guy had a double snail drum (similar to the AR) on a full auto G17. I've been thinking about getting a JRC carbine in .45acp for...

I understand that sometime unique firearms can bring a premium price. But would someone please explain to me why a North American Arms Ranger 22mag demands over a $1000 dollars in the market place? I mean it's not really anything that hasn't been done before. And yes it's small, it's a...

The other day I was looking for a Smith model 66 just to have as a nightstand gun. When I seen the prices of what even a use 66 brought I couldn't believe it! It was just a few years ago when I seen them in Shotgun News, Gunbroker, and in my local gun store going for between $175-$225. Now...

I just found a pre-64, Model 70 FW in 308 which sometime during the time it was manufacture to now someone restock the rifle with some ungodly thing that is suppose to pass as a stock. The serial number (248XXX) places the year of manufacture I believe sometime in 1952. What I would like to...

This subject may have been approach before but I can't find it on this forum. My interest lays in finding a multi-purpose rifle to fill several roles, most importantly if necessary the defense of my family. The rifle needs to be light in weight, semi-automatic with a box type magazine. I...
