So I bought one of the surplussed Beretta Mod 81s from Classic and didn’t realize it was the first gen with no firing pin safety, as opposed to something like the 81BB.
Anybody have any reservations about carrying one without the firing pin safety? Because I figure the more you handle and carry...
Hello,
I just picked up a Colt 1851 Navy .36 from Navy Arms Co. I can’t find much information about this revolver other than it’s a repro of a Griswold & Gunnison Colt 1851 knock-off made in the south where steel was scarce during the civil war hence the brass frame. Can anyone tell me anything...
In the spirit of 80 percent lowers I decided those are too easy, anybody can do those, so I made myself what I call the Mad Max blaster by welding a lower receiver together out of steel plates:
Anybody else have any cool or eccentric home builds?
Hello,
I’m looking for suggestions on trigger work for the M&P .22 Compact, I have one of these with a red dot and I’d like a lighter and smoother trigger to maximize long-distance accuracy.
I’ve been carrying the Walther PPQ M2 in 9mm for the last year and it has become my go-to 9mm pistol these days, I’ve been shooting for a while and I’ve tried just about everything out there and the PPQ is just excellent, can’t recommend it enough.
Anybody else have one and if so what are your...
Hello everyone,
I used to think the different sizes of Federal bulk .22 was the same ammo in different packaging but the “Load Number” is different on all of them despite all three having identical ballistic info (bullet grain, velocity, bullet drop, etc.). It’s in the fine print.
Does anyone...
I just picked up a Walther PPQ and I’m going to replace the sights with metal ones, preferably night sights. I’ve looked at the Trijicon HDs but I’ve read conflicting reports about POI being the same or different from the factory sights. Some people say the HDs give a combat holdover (like SIG)...
My friend just bought this rifle and brought it to me since I’m a mil-surp collector but Lee-Enfields are something I know little about. Can anyone tell me what these markings are on the receiver and why one of them is crossed out? Thanks in advance.
I'm looking at getting into long-range shooting and am considering a Bergara B-14 HMR in 6.5 Creedmoor. I've checked one out in person (but in .308) and I really like the HMR stock and the overall quality feel of the Bergara. I don't hear them mentioned often so I'm wondering what peoples'...
Hello everyone,
I'm thinking of getting a Mossberg MVP in 5.56 for precision plinking and target shooting. Mostly for just having fun from 200-500 yards. I'm trying to decide between the Varmint and Predator models. I really like the laminated gray wood stock, and I've handled both and like...
I've never been duck hunting but I've been invited to go this year. The only shotgun I have is a Mossberg 590A1 with a 20-inch barrel, cylinder choke. I don't have the funds to pick up another shotgun or even a spare barrel so this is the only shotgun I'll have. What can I expect? Are there...
So I just picked up a Beretta 92FS. I was issued one for a short time in the military but I remember them being pretty rough and I didn't care for it at the time or since then. Didn't have any problems with themI got a good deal on one from a friend and the serial number lookup on Beretta's...
Has anybody here switched to a small-radius or flat-bottom firing pin stop? If so, how did you like it?
I have a Colt Rail Gun that I would like to fit an oversize EGW firing pin stop to and leave a very small radius on to try it out. Just curious as to what I should expect out of this.
Like the title says. I have a basic blued/wood Marlin Model 60 that needs a new scope. I currently have an NC Star 3-9x40 mil-dot on it and it's so mediocre that it's almost unusable. Looking to keep it under $150. So no S&B or US Optics.
I use this rifle for practicing the fundamentals of...
Hello all, I'm trying to sell some Mec-Gar 13-round magazines for a .40-caliber Astra A-100 but they aren't moving, I know Astra A-100s are not common guns so I'm curious of anyone knows if these mags are compatible with any other more common design. Thanks in advance for any answers.
I've never been a fan of Glocks. Early on in my gun hobby I jumped on the anti-Glock bandwagon, subscribing to and perpetuating such beliefs as "it has the ergonomics of a 2x4" and "they are as stylish as hot, blocky garbage." I did have experience shooting various examples of them and just...
I just bought a Sig-Sauer P228. After reading about how perfect they are and the cult status they have reached I have wanted one for a VERY long time but the people that have them just aren't selling them. I've never seen one in person let alone held one but I knew I had to have it. I finally...
Hello all,
I just put a Colt Mustang Pocketlite on layaway at my LGS. It's one of the new production ones. I've been fondling one for the last 3 months and decided to just make it mine. Lucky me the one I'm getting is a NIB one they had in the back rather than the display model. And I'm a Colt...
