Last week i posted a thread to help me find out why my sons new Ruger 10/22 carbine would not feed rounds. I received a lot of feedback from all you folks, thank you. In my pursuit of the problems solution we took it into a professional local armorer and gunsmith. If you can believe it ; after...

10/22 feed problems thanks to all of you fellow members who have tried to help us with this problem. This forum is a very good resource for shooters everywhere. I'm very glad i joined again.....thanx! :D

ruger 10/22 misfeed problem. no we were not using remington thunderbolts, and yes we did try different brands of ammo, and the rifle fired the same ammo last week just fine.

newbie ruger owner confused and kinda upset. Two weeks ago my son bought his first rifle, a ruger 10/22 carbine. Believe it or not he got it from walmart. We went to the range last friday and the rifle performed like a real champ. Cleaned and lightly lubed afterwards.Took it to the range today...

son just got his first rifle last weekend. do any of you know of a good websitr or post that will teach us the basics of sight adjustment if necessary. help us newbies please.

son forced trigger group into reciever and bent recoil spring. contacted mossberg. they were about as helpful as a tit on a bull. can't find out sta :cuss: tus of order till this point. Trying not to be impatient, but son has a meet coming up in april and i need this gun fixed. Anyone out there...

many thanks 9x19 so i guess what we saw is indeed there. it is good to know this is normal. sorry for the newbie question, but u can't be too carefull right thanx :)

my son and myself have noticed something strange about our glock 17. when the slide is locked in the open position.a long length of the barrel is exposed . When we look at it from a side view the barrel actually appears to be curved upwards about 10 to 15 degrees in relation to the frame. Are we...

this may an illuision to me and my son. When we lock the slide open in our glock 17, the exposed barrel looks as if is crooked in the sense that it appears angled up in relation to the frame. Is it possible that there may be a real problem. the gun tends to shoot above sight targeting point...

I'am a pistol guy who is moving into the shotgun world. I need to understand some things about slugs. I have been told that my Mossberg 500 rifled slug barrel needs SABOT type slugs. I'am assuming that there are other types than sabot. Who manufactures this Sabot type of slug ammo, and what...

Slugs...need info Thanks for the update and info. I'm on kind of a steep learning curve. I did'nt win the auction for the barrel and have since decided not to bother with one. The 24" slug barrel actually handles my Advanced Technology flashlight mount and lines the end up close to the end of...

thanks bear, as you can see my shotgun knowledge is very low. I will then assume that the barrel will be installed and slugs fired through it as it is. thanks for the info. Any other tips you might have would be greatly appreciated..

can i please get some information about the differences in barrels. I have a 500 with a 28" bird barrel, a 24" rifled slug barrel. And are currently in the process of bidding on a 18.25 ' barrel that is rifled. My main question is the bird barrel has chokes that are screwed into the end of the...

You all seem so knowledgable here that you will be able to help a shotgun newbie figure some things out. I understand that chokes are used to alter patterns. I have a new mossberg 500 combo with a 26"shot bbl and a rifled 24" bbl.The smoothe bbl is in there now with a modified choke in bbl.The...
