    Emergency Ammo - How much is REALISTICALLY needed?

    Sorry for the topic that many may find silly. I am not talking about zombie apocolipse or obama's martial law. What I'm talking about is a hurricane katrina, civil unrest, or foreign invasion scenarios. I know unlikely, but the economic downturn is worrying me some. How much ammo for each...

    Chopped barrel.. How critical is straightness with slugs and smoothbore?

    I chopped a barrel down from 28 to 20" with a hack saw. I filed on it a bit and got it really close but a tad wavy. Maybe a mm or so off on one part or another. I can't seem to get it perfectly square. I know with a rifle crown, it has to be perfect, but do shotguns have to be? I put rifle...

    Why "white edges" don't rust up?

    I was just curious why the "white edges" aka holster wear on guns don't immediately start surface rusting. We see it in many photos where folks have well worn guns without a spec of rust on the bare spots. I also have revolvers with the barrel tips warn white from holster wear and have not...

    What's up with the LCP?? Discontinued?

    Recently in december and early jan, Ruger had a special on the LCP for $199 in many places. My lgs had them for $229. This was a $100 price drop from just a month before. I now look on buds gun shop and all LCP of every kind are sold out. What's the deal? Is ruger coming out with an updated...

    What range to practice Bear defense with slugs?

    I'm new to enjoying slug shooting with the shotgun. I have to say it's much funner that I thought and the limb saver and williams slugger sights make it pretty nice for a chopped maverick 88. The whole idea behind my question, we are planning a trip to go camping in Alaska and the northwest. I...

    New wood Grips Color Mismatch - big deal or normal?

    Is it normal for walnut grips to be mismatched in color or should I contact the seller? They are supposed to be colt but came in a regular open bag. I don't know if I'm being overly picky. I paid $32

    Do paper towels such as Bounty scratch gun finishes?

    I've used paper towels for a long time to wipe off dirt and excess oil from blued guns. I bought my first polished blued gun and after cleaning it, I noticed some fine scratches. Is it my imagination or do bounty paper towels have something in them that can scratch a finish? Or is this just...

    Defective Winchester Ammo

    I'm buying Federal exclusively with not a single issue. I contacted their product service rep, Sheryl, who infomed me that they could not give me a FULL refund OR a cupon for a whole new box because I had already shot some of the ammo. When I reminded her of how dangerous ammo like this is, she...

    Smith model 28 barrel rust pitted.. Refinish gun? Cut barrel? Leave as-is?

    I posted a thread in 2010 but it has since been archived. To the point, I paid about $330 for this smith model 28 about 5 years ago. The blemished barrel bothers me some. I believe it sat too long in a leather holster. The inside riffling of the barrel is just fine, only the outside has rust...

    Smith&Wesson Model 559 a good buy?

    A pawn shop in town has a very nice looking smith model 559, looks barely used, on display for $350. I know this is a 2nd gen, but I am not as familuar with them as much as the 3rds. Is this gun a good buy? Thanks! Anyone know if my 3rd mags will work?

    Peep receiver sight for Marlin 795 pics

    I was dissatisfied with the blade rear sight on my new marlin 795 22 rifle that I picked up on black friday for $89 so I decided to mount a williams 94/36 peep sight on. I didn't want to have to spend 69+shipping on some tech-sights, which I'm sure are excellent, so I threw this on here. Oh and...

    Drll and tap aluminum receiver for peep on marlin 795 a good idea?

    Hello, I just bought a new marlin 795 for under $100 and the sights sit crooked on the barrel, I'm guessing overtorqued barrel. I recently drilled and tapped a lever gun for the williams 94/36 peep sight and was thinking I could use the same sight for my new marlin. Is there any problem with...

    Textured paint on gun wood?

    I have seen lots of terrible painted stocks in the past but at the range yesterday, saw a marlin 336 with a rough textured dark gray paint. It looked great and I originally thought it was a synthetic stock. Anybody know what kind of spray paint is used for this?

    Cylinder binding problem .002 gap too tight?

    I have a ruger security six that binds the cylinder up when it gets hot from firing. When it's cool it shows no symptoms. I measured the gap with a feeler gauge and with the cylinder being pushed forward I can BARELY squeeze a .002 in there. With it pulled back I can fit a .004 but not a .005...
