Hello, I am nearing my CCP and still toying with which guy I would like to get. This will be my first pistol, I have a few rifles and a shotgun, but I have some experience shooting pistols. I really like the way that 1911's shoot, however I'm not sure concealing will be so easy, plus most are...

Hello folks, Just wondering what y'alls opinions are about the maximum effective range of shot (any size, just specify which one you are talking about) on small game. I'm looking to hunt coyotes with my 12 gauge this year, and, supposing a perfect pattern, what is the maximum range I could...

Hey Y'all, I've been a little concerned lately, I've heard shooting 55 grain ammo through a 1/7 twist barrel causes premature throat erosion and shortens barrel life. I guess the reason is that the barrel cant stabilize the bullet effectively? Is this true? :banghead: I sure hope not...

Hello folks, I am aware that you cannot transfer handguns ftf, however I am under the impression that you can transfer long arms ftf across state lines so long as the state you are in borders the state you will buy buying/selling your long arm in. I haven't been able to find any statues on...

Hey y'all, For my next rifle I'm strongly considering a finnish m39. However I'm concerned about the accuracy...I have no interest in a rifle that isn't minute-of-deer at 300 yards. For those of you who have them what have you experienced in terms of accuracy? Thanks

Hello everybody, I just got my tags in the mail and I am super excited for deer season! However, my permit is for state land only, and only shotguns are allowed on state land (otherwise I would use my 30-06). I was wondering who here has had success with slug hunting in the past and what...

Hey everybody, Just wondering what the minimum bullet weight would be for a 1:7 twist AR. I have been shooting 55 grn bullets but I'm worried about premature throat erosion and Im going to switch to a heavier bullet. I have heard good things about the 75 grain ammo but for the most part it is...

Howdy Folks, Considering a glock for my first carry gun. How many of you would choose a glock to be your CCW? What model? I'm not a huge fan of sub-compacts and compacts, I'm looking at the glock 21 and 23. If you dont carry a glock, why is that? Thanks folks, Happy shooting

Hello folks, I have a colt 6601 HBAR rifle. I love the gun, but there is a minute gap between the upper and lower, and with a little bit of torque, you can "wiggle" the upper on the lower. Is there any way to get rid of this? I already have an accu-wedge installed, which has helped a lot, and...

Hello Folks, I recently bought some ammo for turkey hunting. I was in a hurry at the store and noticed when I got home I accidentally grabbed nickle plated lead shot. Is it ok to shoot this out of a standard remington 870 barrel? I think its OK for the choke. I wrote "urgent" in the title...

Hello Folks, I am seriously considering coating my remington 870 with duracoat. It is a new model and the finish is "okay" but nothing more. I'm constantly wiping it down with an oily rag whenever I handle it becuase if I don't there are some smears on it from the oil from my hands...

Hello folks For my first pistol I'm looking at 1911's mostly, and I like the looks and feel of the Colt XSE government. I'll be using it mostly for concealed carry. I have read some decent reviews (via google) about it but I was wondering what you folks thought of it. Anybody have any advice...

Hello folks, I have recently inherited a springfield 1903 mark I. I have heard that some low serial numbered 1903's are dangerous because of poor heat treatment of the receivers. How "low" does this go? The serial number is 11908XX, if that helps. It has been sporterized and shows handling...

Hello folks, While procrastinating today, I began thinking about what one gun I would take if I was in a SHTF type situation. Let's say for whatever reason (natural disaster, foreign invasion, etc,) you need to get out of dodge. You will be relying upon this gun for collecting food, defending...

Hello folks, Just out of curiosity, is there any reason why 00Buck (2-3/4" remington express 9 pellet, if it matters) would not work out of a turkey-type choke (.660" constriction)? I'm just wondering after seeing a video of buckshot being shot at a 4'x3' patterning board from 50 yards and...

Hello folks, I'm currently talking to a friend from the range about buying one of his AIM surplus rifles. It looks to be authentic, but I can't tell for sure cause i'm no milsurp expert. Does AIM surplus have real surplus guns or are they chinese repro's like the ones from century? Thanks...

Howdy folks, Just curious here, But why no love for the 25-06? I don't own one, but my dream gun is a tikka t3 in 25-06. It seems like a flat-shooting dream cartridge for most game smaller than buffalo with little enough recoil to not intimidate the shooter. The only reason why I could...

Hello everybody, I recently purchased a savage mark II. I have yet to shoot it, but I have heard it is quite an accurate rifle, and I'm anxious to see for myself. Does anybody know where I can purchase scope bases for this? it is already drilled and tapped. Would bases for savage 93's work...

Hello Folks, I recently inherited a springfield 1903 mark I. I know this is the type built for the Pedersen device. However, I just had a quick question regarding parts for this model. Are the parts compliant with 03a3's? or just 1903s? According to some random websites it is similar in all...

... Savage mark II. Its the base model with BB gun style iron sights, but they should do well. I was pleasantly surprised to find the barrel free floated all the way, and it had great fit for a $160 gun. My only complaint is the magazine-seems to wobble a bit when its locked in place, and...
