Anyone know about how quickly I should expect NSCA to update shooter class? The move up would be based on getting a punch on first registered clays. If anyone has some info on this I'd be grateful to hear it. Class will probably make a difference on where we'll want to shoot next. Thanks.

I'm wanting to get some extended chokes for an O/U. The gun uses optima hp tubes. Main use will be sporting, but also some skeet and trap. The plan is to change chokes for a course or type of clay game, not swapping chokes at stations. Carlson's. Good price. Has a LM available...

How often and to what extent should I be cleaning the bore of a gun that's getting shot several times a week? Chrome lined, if that makes a difference. Is there a generally accepted rule of thumb that powder residue needs to be cleaned out every XXX rds and a plastic solvent every XXX rds...

I'm considering getting into shotshell reloading, but not sure if it's worth the time/investment. The goal would be quality shells at a reduced cost. Currently shooting 200 to 400 / wk, mostly Rem STS 1 1/8 @1145 from chinamart for ~$7/box. I would like the ability to load a similar shell...

Anyone have suggestions for dealing with a new/tight over/under? I know it will get better with use, but it's tight to the point of being difficult to use and my son has practice in a few days. Gunoil? Antiseize? Thanks.

I have a 391 double feeding from the mag tube. It's not every time, but often enough. The gun functions fine if just loading the chamber and one in the mag tube. Removed / cleaned the bolt, trigger group. Cleaned and lubed the shell stop and confirmed it moves freely. I did not remove it...

I'm looking for suggestions for a left hand shotgun for 4-H (wobble?) trap. I'd like something that could be used for other clays or hunting, assuming a more specialized gun isn't needed. I've been told the shooters use anything from nice O/U's to pump guns. I've eyed 686 Sporting, but don't...

I need a little help getting back into muzzle loaders. I have a little exp from long ago, but haven't messed with them in a long time. My son is interested in shooting a muzzle loader, so I got him a Lyman Deerstalker, 50 cal percussion. I'll gather up what I have as far as tools / epuip and...

I've seen this discussed some years ago, but don't remember what the consonance opinion was. At approx. what barrel length will the typical 22lr reach it's max velocity? I believe 40 fps / in reduced velocity is a number thrown around for cartridges like 308win. Does anyone have data or...

any suggestions on where to find a like new 80 series in nickel? Also, how rare is factory nickel and what should I expect to pay for one in like new condition? Thanks.

Does anyone have experience with Fox Knives or Bohler N690Co steel? I'm looking at one of their knives for a Christmas gift, but haven't heard of them or that steel. Thanks.

Anyone have suggestions for 30-30win bullets for Southeastern whitetail? Hornady has two flex tip bullets; one is standard cup/core and the other is gilded metal (not even sure what that is). Would these provide better expansion than old 150 & 170 gr FN like rem core loc or similar? All shots...

Anyone have any experience with Brownells BCG? It's the standard one with chromed linings. http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/bolt-parts/bolt-carrier-groups/m16-phosphate-bolt-carrier-group-mp-hpt-c158-sku078000250-78714-159980.aspx Seems like a good deal at $140 (on sale for $130 at the...

Do Benchmade folders typically come sharp from the factory? I just purchased one and it's not what I would consider sharp. If I hold the blade at the right angle and apply a little pressure it can be made to shave. It's not 'grabby'. It's probably as sharp as the factory edge on a Case...

Anyone have any experience with their barrels? wmdguns.com/nib-xtm-5-56-barrel-assembly-mid-length-gas-system-1-7-twist.html "Match-quality barrels feature NiB-X and Nitromet coatings to give them maximum wear resistance and durability that standard barrel finishes just can’t match...

Is there a specific time frame in which a stamped SBR has to assembled into a functioning short barreled rifle? Let's say it's a stripped receiver when the stamp is received; other than engraving, is there a specific amount of time in which it has to be configured as a functioning SBR? Thanks.

I need a little info on disassembling a Win 74 please. It's been a while... I know I'm supposed to put an allen wrench or small screwdriver into the cross bolt in the rear of the receiver, but the bolt still does not want to come out. If I were holding it like I was going to fire, would the...

Is a 55gr Nosler Varmageddon at ~3,100 fps MV sufficient for coyote? Range could vary, but will likely be inside 200 yds. I mistakenly thought these were BT's when purchasing. Edit: I don't care about hides, just want dead. Thanks.

I'm looking for info on an older side by side shotgun. It's a 16 ga with No external hammers (not a rabbit ear). Marked: Riverside Arms Company Chicope Falls, Mass US Patented April 20 1915 The left barrel is marked: 16ga The only other markings I've found are on the forend (not...

What's the preferred method / tools to drift a dove-tailed front sight on a rifle? Thanks.
