    Had to return my .22 conversion for M-4

    I bought a CMMG .22 conversion for my M-4/AR-15 but had to return it. The bolt would not return to the forward position. Took a look at it with the guy at the gunshop, and we could see that my hammer sat too high to allow the bolt to move freely. He offered to sell me a new "trigger" which...

    Help! - Marlin model 60 trigger or firing pin not resetting

    Feed and extract seem OK, but about 30% of shots the trigger pull does not cause anything to happen. Pulling the bolt handle back an inch or so seems to reset it, so I can take a shot without feeding a new round into the chamber. I have cleaned it pretty well, I think. I have tried a...

    Marlin MDL 60 - Trigger fails to reset/cock.

    Please help! Strange mechanical issue with Marlin Glenfield. I found a used Marlin Model 60, and I'm almost happy with it. Feeds & ejects fine, but about 30% of the time the trigger does not reset or the striker does not cock (not sure which describes it better). With a round in chamber, I...

    Rifle Marksmanship is Yoga

    I've just started getting into rifle after years of handgun shooting, an was looking at old (1940's) Army marksmanship films. I realized the keys to rifle shooting are posture/position and breathing, which equate to Yoga's Asana and Prana. Even the relaxation and heartbeat control in Yoga are...

    "Extra" hole in receiver of gas-operated semi?

    Help! - "Extra" hole in receiver of gas-operated semi? I inherited a Beretta semi-auto trap gun, but have not fired it yet. There appears to be an "extra" hole in the left side of the receiver similar to the other ones which have pins or screws in them. Is this just a vent or something...

    First rifle - Which .22?

    I plan to start with a .22 rifle, probably a Marlin Model 60 or Ruger 10/22. Any suggestions? If there is a thread on this already, please point me in the right direction. Searching on ".22 rifle" got me nowhere. I plan to add a Dragunov stock, etc., so availability of accessories is...

    Inherited Beretta Golden Lark - Needs Work?

    I just got my dad's old Golden Lark Semi-auto Beretta 12ga, and I'm anxious to give it a try. But I really don't know Beretta shotguns, and I'm worried about one thing - there is a hole in the receiver! It looks just like the other receiver holes, with the decoration around it, but all the...

    Expected accuacy - SP101 .22 4"

    I got a used SP101 in .22 for some low-cost plinking. But I can shoot better with my .357 snub than this .22 with a 4" barrel. I got a pretty good shooter to try it out for me off a sandbag, and he got a 3" group at 15 yards. Should I expect better?

    Help! - Tacstar sidesaddle causing action problem?

    I just installed a Tacstar sidesaddle on my Mossberg 590, and I have an unusual problem. On the next to last shell, nothing happens when I pull the trigger! Action seems to cycle the same on all shells. I've heard the warnings about overtightening the screw, but I've tried it with different...

    Safariland pocket holster

    I'm looking for a pocket holster for my SP-101 snubby. Is anyone familiar with the safariland model 25? It looks good, but is more closely shaped to the gun than a lot of other pocket holsters I've seen. Has anyone used one? Does it stay in place in a pocket?

    Keylock on Glock 35 slide?

    Has anyone seen this? I thought the Glock keylocks were in the base of the grip. I was trying to remove the plate on the rear of the slide so I could replace the striker spring, but there was a keyhole in the middle of the plate, and I had trouble removing it. I have done this before to other...
