Hi: I've been interested in subcaliber inserts that allow firing of handgun cartridges in shotguns. Such adapters allow a shotgun owner greater flexibility to use available handgun ammo in scenarios such as a disabled motorist, injured camper, stranded hikers, etc. Many of the available...

Hi: Is spray on brake cleaner or gun scrubber a good way to degrease surfaces after grit blasting and before re-finishing with KG K-phos or gun-kote? Thanks

Good Shoot'in Benny! Man I couldn't even see the jug at 150 yds until you zoomed in. At that range would it be better to set the rear sight for 150 since meters and yards are pretty close?

When carrying a round in the chamber and the hammer down, what does the safety block? the firing pin or the sear? Also, when carrying cocked and locked what does the thumb safety block? the hammer or the sear or the firing pin? I'm curious which mode is safer against an accidental drop such as...

Questions Thinking about getting a VA 58. Has anyone experienced any problems with the Czechpoint plastic parts like the trigger or mag follower/baseplates? How are these holding up? Are there any additional US parts available so that surplus mags may be used? Thanks!

Does anyone know if the Norinco copy of the Winchester 1897 riot gun takes down (unscrews) at the receiver like the Winchester Model 12? Can the mag tube be kept loaded when broken down? Thanks

"...not as painful as the 45 poined at his butt" Cut the GI some slack. How else is the American Lt going to get the Frenchman to fight? Reminds me of the ad for the used FAMAS "Never fired, dropped only once..." :D Looks like he has a Luger jammed in his waistband also.
