Thx so much for all the replies. This has been very educational. I was going hoping to find a fairly priced mosin nagant or a .40 cal pistol for my brother. I didnt have any luck with either. But like i said...i really enjoyed the show. Just dissapointed with the prices. Sent from my SGH-T959V...

I went to my first gunshow today (i live in south texas) and while i enjoyed walking around and just looking at all the different firearms, i noticed everything was overpriced. Even used guns cost the same or more than what i could get it for at academy. Is this the norm in gun shows or just...

Well i tightened the screw and that fixed it. :-) i went out to my dad's house where he has 2 acres in the back and was able to test fire it. I didnt clean the gun....just tightened the screw so i could isolate the problem. But now i think i might do a complete field strip and cleaning. It...

I was checking the pistol just now and upon closer inspection i noticed the front part of the bridge has come loose. I could see about a sixteenth inch of daylight between the bridge and the barrel. Is it possible that this is allowing the slide to creep up when it slides forward therefore...

Thank you for the reply. Ive only cleaned what i can reach with the slide open. I used a tooth brush with hoppes #9 and oiled it as well. I havent field stripped it for fear of voiding the warranty. Im new to firearms and this is the only weapon that specifies in the manual not to do so. My...

I purchased a .22 browning buckmark about a month ago (new). The last two times to the range I noticed a lot of my bullets were not firing, about 4/10. I looked at the bullet and noticed that the firing pin had barely caught the outside rim of the case. Today it started doing the same thing...

Ive looked around on the internet hoping to find an AR that would shoot 9mm but couldnt find anything other than .223/5.56. Where could one find something like that? Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

Thx for replying. I own a ruger 10/22 with red dot sight, marlin model 60 with 3-9x40 simmins scope and a browning buckmark pistol. Ive heard about appleseed but the closest one i could attend is in san antonio which is about a 5 hr drive from where i live (mission, tx). So thats not an option...

Thanks so much. I sent you a PM. Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply. It seems that I have to do more research on reloading. All the searches I've done seemed to indicate I would only be saving about 25-30% but after reading some comments here it seems it's possible to save much more. My brother has been...

I just picked up firearms this summer. Purchased 2 rifles and 1 pistol (all .22 cal). I go to the range once a week and shoot 200-300 rnds every trip. At 4 cents a bullet thats very affordable. I really wanted to purchase a centerfire weapon but the cost in ammo increases dramatically. I did...

Tier 1 is more than i am willing to spend on a trigger job. Id rather get the archangel stock for that price. Ive been wanting that for a while now. Any idea how the tier 3 trigger job would compare to the volquartsen hammer? Thx so much for the responses :-) Sent from my SGH-T959V using...

I tried watching some of the air ifle and air pistol events on my laptop and found it incredibly boring. So i can understand why they dont cover it. You just sit there and stare at a guy holding a rifle. You can hear rifles going off and cant tell if he shot or not. Eventually an 'x' appears on...

I am brand new to shooting. I would like to improve the trigger on my 10/22 but don't want to spend a lot of money on it. After some research it seems my 2 options are: 1. buy a drop-in volquartsen hammer kit ($40) or 2. a Tier 3 trigger job from brimstone gunsmithing (also $40 after...

Im new to rifles,just picked it up this summer, and i started with a 10/22. I also bught a buckmark pistol and last week added the marlin 60 to my small collection. All of these weapons are semiauto and i really dont get why people keep mentioning jamming issues. My bros and i go to the range...
