Not sure if you're aware but Mossberg also has a new scout variant of the MVP with extended rail and a peep sight at the rear. I wouldn't get a scoped combo because the scout versions at least come with a UTG/Leapers scope which are complete junk in my experience. Save the money and buy a nice...

I've got a patrol version and I like it overall but it certainly has shortcomings. On the positive side it feels really solid in hand with the pebble finish covered wood stock and heavier contour barrel, and it's certainly accurate enough. It eats steel cased as well, even switching back and...

I bought a 5.56 patrol model to use as a truck gun but I've had a few issues with it and until I've got a lot more rounds through it without any further issues I can't really say I trust it. In the first few hundred rounds I had a fair number of what I believe were light primer strikes with...

Mosin M44 and M38. I've got a Russian M44 that had the bayonet ground off and was refinished at the arsenal, thereby turning it into a defacto M38. It's got all the great qualities of a Mosin, the flawless reliability and robust build quality, cheap ammo, etc. But it's far lighter and better...

I just like to go to check out lots of neat old guns and have no expectations of buying anything. I did find a nice old Wingmaster 870 with a gorgeous patina for only $200 at the last show though.

Would you be able to fit 2 in a standard AR mag pouch? All this talk about 77/357s lately is doing nothing to curb my desire for one.

I found an old 870 Wingmaster with beautiful patina at a local gun show for $200. I don't really know if that's a great price or not but I fell in love with it and was happy to pay the price.

Have you thought about a Kel Tec SUB2000? They're more compact, fold in half for storage, and take your choice of Glock or Beretta mags. Of course, the downside would be trying to get hold of any Kel Tec product lol.

Personally I own two 10/22s and an American Rimfire. I love the 10/22s, and there are certainly far more options for customizing them to your heart's content, but for me, I would choose the RAR without a second thought. I find myself taking it to the range far more than both 10/22s combined. In...

I did have one very negative experience at the local BLM range while shooting on my previous birthday. Some joker let his teen kid start popping off rounds while I was downrange, in line only about 30 feet from where I was. I yelled for him to stop then marched over there and said some very...

Brilliant! I wish every major retailer would follow suit. It makes the government put their money where their mouth is so to speak. If NY gov isn't able to get their high cap mags and complain, it would very publicly raise the question; if 7 rounds isn't enough for you to defend yourselves, why...

I've got a can opener for them thankfully. The only thing that annoys me with the 54r cans vs the 5.45 cans I also buy is the paint. The 54r paint chips off into thousands of little sharp pieces and they fly everywhere when opening a can. Probably lead-based too yuck. The paint on 5.45 cans is...

Well I work a lot so that occupies much of my time. I also have a girlfriend who does the same. :p And guns are far from my only hobby. I'm also into cars, aquariums, and video gaming. So if I actually have time to kill I go for a drive or tinker with my aquariums and sometimes play a little Xbox.

I too wish there was good cheap pump .22 on the market but I refuse to buy one with the old fashioned tube feed. Don't get me wrong I'd take one with tube feed more akin to a modern shotgun, but the old setup of having to pull the plunger out and load from the front is just cumbersome. If there...

A lot of it honestly is cosmetics and ergonomics. The polymer mags just feel more comfortable to hold, give more positive grip, don't have any sharp corners, feel less cold on the fingers when it's cold out, and in my opinion, they certainly look a lot nicer. The reliability aspect is probably...
