Does anyone in the Twin Cities area know of a public range where I can work out my rifles? Or perhaps a private range in the north or west or even soutwest metro that is accepting membership applications? Some place with at least a 100 yard range. That isn't asking too much, is it? I have...

I have been looking for a nice 10mm for a while now, and I decided that I really like the Colt Delta Elite. In doing some research on it I found references to frame issues. Something about cracking, I think. Can anyone tell me about this particular type of firearm? Are there any issues...

Class 3 and NFA type stuff aside, what would you all say is the most fun gun to shoot? An old (or new) SAA? 1911? 10/22? Personally, I like my 870.

I'm not a great shooter, so I really can't say how well a rifle shoots. I never know if the accuracy is due to the rifle or something I am doing wrong. Bearing that in mind, what is the best accuracy I could hope for out of an Ishapore 2A? I mean, is it possible to accurize it? Could the...

I have recently found myself getting very interested in knives, axes, tomahawks and other edged weapons. As I am looking at them online, I see many different designators for the type of steel used, and I am clueless as to what is good and what is crap. I have bought a few crappy knives in my...

So there I was at a Cabela's today and I overheard several conversations that just made me grind my teeth in frustration. My favorite was the skinny little girl who was looking for something for home protection, but didn't know what she wanted, but claimed to be a firearms expert because "I was...

Maybe this town doesn't NEED Police. http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060911/NEWS01/609110345

I need a little help. I'm doing some backpacking in black bear country this fall. I already have my sidearm, what I am looking for now is a method of carry that would keep it readily available, yet offer the potential for concealment. I need the potential for concealment because I will be...

Can someone either direct me to a site that can help or just tell me what all the letters after the grain weight stand for? I understand the basics, but what exactly are: JHC CNL LFN-GC LV Any other gems anyone can think of? The more I look at specialty ammunition, the more...

Hi Folks, This may sound ridiculous, but here it goes. I am an avid "gun guy" and I like to shoot, but due to my old man's bad experience with almost getting shot while I was still a pup, I never went hunting. Last fall my wife and I got a lab-mix puppy from the humane society and he...

Hey folks, I have been carrying for about three years now, and I am looking to expand my stable into something a bit more t-shirt and shorts friendly. I currently carry a Glock model 30 (Compact [yeah, right] double stack .45). For carry in the winter it is great, but I want something a bit...

I had a dream the other night that I was in this old man's house and he was telling me old war stories and giving me advice on life and shooting. After a while he took me to his basement and showed me a veritable arsenal in a closet. He had beautiful customs hunting rifles, old mil-surps in...

I was just snooping around at one of my local dealers and spotted a Smith-Corona made 03A3 Ser. #48007xx for $524.99 I didn't get a chance to look at the bore yet to see if its decent, but the hardware and stock all look great. I am just getting into Mil-surps. Is this a good price?

I need help finding a source for an extractor spring that will fit an Ishapore 2a1. I believe that the spring from a No1 MkIII will fit. I have found a few sources, but most are out of stock. Marstar Canada seems to have them, but can I "import" gun parts without getting into ATF...

I was looking at those Gibbs "Quest" rifles. I think they are about what I have been looking for in a scout-type rifle. I love the trigger and action on SMLEs. Has anyone shot one, or heard if they are any good? I had heard that Gibbs was kind of a chop-shop and really did some terrible...

So, I need to make sure that a few mil-surp rifles that I have a properly headspaced, and have been told to use 7.62 NATO gauges instead of .308 guages. Where can I find 7.62 gauges? I have scoured the net and all I can find are .308 gauges that are labeled as "also good for". But as I...

Last month I bought a SMLE 2A1 in good condition at a local gun show. I haven't had a chance to fire it yet, as I wanted to make sure that it was properly headspaced before firing it. I took it to a gunsmith today to check the headspace and here is what I found out. Using the .308...

I live pretty close to the MN/WI border and found a place not to far into wisconsin that does duracoat finishes. I haven't been able to find anyplace near here that does. Is it legal for me to carry the firearm across state lines, drop it off for refinishing, and then pick it up and take...

Hey folks, I need some help. I have been looking to buy a general purpose rifle for some time now and I recently got bit by the Smelly bug. I love the idea of a rugged, detachable magazine fed, bolt action rifle in a mid-large size caliber. I originally thought that I'd like to make it...
