i know we need a new lube thread like a hole in our heads but this is a specific question. And yes, I google searched it and the last thread was 6 years ago on the gunsmithing forum here. Anyone use Corrosion-X as a gun lube in addition to corrosion protection? And is Corrosion-X for guns any...

I can vouch for land west of canyon city. Head west into the Arkansas river valley and there are small towns along the way that provide roads north or south from the river. Some real nice BLM areas north of the river. I don't know about south of the river, but north of the river the BLM built...

As has been mentioned before on this forum, a decade ago gun shows used to be more interesting, lots of private sellers and unusual memorabilia. I wanted a bolt action .22 and found a kinda beat up 512 at a private seller's who had all sorts of interesting guns. Everything seemed okay with the...

Improve my shooting skills to get back to where I was 8 years ago when I took a hiatus. Get a rifle/scope combo good enough for silhouette shooting and start practicing. Or figure out how to turn my CZ 455 into a shooter for silhouette.

I don't remember which version of the recipe I used but I used clear Erlenmeyer flasks to store it in and noticed after a while a white precipitate formed and made a layer on the bottom. I figure it was the additives in the atf. Threw it out in an environmentally safe manner and wondered why I...

I own 2 bushmasters and have been pretty happy with them. Would I buy another? No. My bushmasters will not function with wolf steel cased ammo. Seen it on another bushmaster too. But some folks say you shouldn't run "commie" ammo through these types of rifles. I didn't like the stock...

Does the US still do indirect machinegun fire? I only occasionally read about it in WWII.

The Browning is a fine rifle, very well made. It's best for small statured people, IMHO. The Marlin feels like an adult's rifle. I have a 39A Mountie but like the full size w/pistol grip more. The first .22 lever I got was the Browning. Then I got the Mountie and the Browning only sees the...

A bunch of them, actually. I bought 6 .22 rifles last fall. They're all I've been shooting lately.

Atla, A picture is worth a thousand words - follow the link: http://www.otisgun.com/cgistore/store.cgi?page=/new/fcatalog.html&setup=1&cart_id= I use a patchworm & like it pretty well. If you use a boresnake, pull it so the cord is centered in the barrel - like you would a rod...

Practice, practice, practice. Professional musicians and athletes practice every day. It doesn't take a lot of rounds every day to dramatically improve your skills - if you concentrate on the fundamentals. 50 rounds a day will do it. Much more and you hit marginal returns because of...

I set out to buy a Rossi pump .22 about a year ago. A few years back they used to be ubiquitous at the big Houston gun shows. I hadn't been in a while and was surprised to find none at all. I asked a dealer about them and he said their QC was very spotty and too many people got burnt on...

Oil and gas engineer. If I were better at my job gasoline wouldn't cost so much.

Parallax error?

Are you friends or just boyfriend/girlfriend? And I mean real friends not just "we get along, pal around and have fun." Ideally your partner should be your best friend or one of your very best friends.
