As I've begun to accumulate more firearms clutter designed to respond to that "bump in the night" there's something that has sort of been on my mind- Where am I supposed to put all this stuff? If I wake up in the middle of the night concerned enough to retrieve a firearm, I'm not going to...

Like it says on the box, I literally just got my license last Friday (yes, here in Mass, we need licenses, it's terrible), and this has been the first opportunity to get some shooting in since I moved to the state. The range I joined has a nifty rental service that's free for members, so I...

Apologies if this is not in the proper section; I couldn't find a more pertinent category. I've been living in Massachusetts for several months now, after getting a job here. Now that things have settled down, I'm doing the legwork for the application for a CCW. I'm new to how firearms are...

My shotgun has been through a bazillion different configurations over the years, but my current trend has been to streamline things. Gone are all the tacticool accessories, save for my shell-holder buttstock pouch. Unfortunately, this also meant ditching my flashlight setup. I liked having a...

Looking for some troubleshooting on my mounting setup. I wanna go through all the details in the hopes of finding the best solution, so please bear with me if this is a bit verbose: I got a Redfield Revenge 3x to 12x scope for xmas, mounted it to my Mini-14 using the rings that came with it...

I lost the turret/adjustment caps on a vintage Weaver D4... where would I even find replacements for these? Better yet, are there any caps that are readily available that would fit the D4? There was an archived thread similar to this, but I don't think it was ever resolved. :x

I love my Mesa LEO adapter for the 870, but as part of my "tacticool scale-down" I moved back to the bead sight and removed the saddle rail/red dot setup. While the higher cheek placement was great for the red dot, which was about an inch and a half or so off the receiver, it's terrible for the...

Was thinking about getting one for a Mini-14. I don't have much budget to work with, these seem pretty good budget scopes. Issue is, there's a debate about whether or not they're truly "American Made." They seem to claim that on their site, but I've heard otherwise. Anybody actually know...

So, my day job is as an artist, so when I stumbled across this I was immediately baffled and thrilled. This seems to be a collection of unique wares produced using only the most exclusive and exotic materials and processes. This particular piece is some type of bolt-gun, but I can't identify...

So, my Mini-14 came with a factory-made picatinny-style rail designed to fit over the breech, where the factory scope rings go. I decided it was a nifty (and FREE in that it came with the gun) way to mount my red-dot sight. Originally I had thought of doing a scout-style setup by replacing...

I recently bought a Mini-14. Love it. It's awesome. None of the issues that I was biting nails over before I got it (accuracy, mags, etc.) Don't ask me why, but I want to swap out the shiny new wood stock it came with for one that's had the junk beat out of it. But, nobody wants to buy those...

Hello there! Wanted some input on an issue that's recently cropped up. For the last few years, I've kept my shotgun under my bed unloaded with a trigger lock, with ammo nearby. I felt no need to have it any more accessible since I had an alert and menacing 120-pound German Shepherd right...

Hello! Last time I was hunting for a gun, the folks here were probably the most helpful of all the places I asked for pointers. So here's the scoop: About eight months ago I was on the hunt for an AK- had my eye on an Arsenal SGL-34, the NY-compliant version of the Arsenal Ak74's. (I live...

As you might have guessed, I live in New York State, and am looking for a NY-legal AK74. In the year or so since I've become a gun owner, I've poured over NY state laws time and again to ensure that I was following every law to the letter, and am well aware of what is/isn't legal as far as...

I stripped down my Remington 870 Police for a thorough cleaning. After I'd put it all back together again, I noticed this little pin and spring were left behind: http://www.flickr.com/photos/78446058@N08/6872040036/in/photostream I've done this several times now, and don't recognize the part...

Recently got an 870 Police Magnum as a present to myself. (Sorry, no pics yet!) I specifically got it very plain; just the factory mag tube extension and a bead sight. (Synthetic furniture). I'm happy with it for the most part, but I'm having a few issues with LOP. I'm not totally sure, but...

So, I recently inherited a Marlin 336 in .35 remington from my grandfather. I've taken it to the range a few times, and am more than happy with how it shoots, but the price of the .35 remington cartridge is killing me. ($27.99 for a 20 round box). Is this just because I live in the...

Recently got a Marlin 336 as a gift from my grandfather. It's been used, but not abused, though it is quite old. (Probably around 40 years, twice my age) It's also been sitting unused in a closet for about five years. Before I take it out to the range, I figured I would attempt to do some...

Just a random question for my fellow New Yorkers: Is it legal to put a pistol grip on a manual shotgun so long as the overall length is within legal limits? The law mostly regards semi-automatic shotguns, which can't have more than two "assault" features like pistol grips or detachable...
