I have an 870 express that I bought solely for the purpose of deer hunting. I was in college at the time, and really wanted a wingmaster (partial to walnut stocks and blued steel) but I ended up with this. I used it as it was until this spring. I bought a nice walnut stock for it on ebay, and...

Any idea why this commands such a price? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=179054591

I was just curious as to what year a 686 was produced and could not find anything. Does anyone have a link to a good place? It is a 686 no dash. Serial starts with AEJ.

So I got to thinking as I read a few threads that there are constantly more and more firearms I wish had known about sooner, or am surprised I had never even heard of before. One item that really hit home was a member referring to how he waited 25 years too long to obtain an M1 Garand, which...

To the untrained (my) eye, all lower parts kit look similar. With what I've read, it seems most differences are in the trigger pull. I really like the idea of a timney trigger. If I had one of those, would there really be a difference in dpms, stag, or rock river lower kits?

I have a pump shotgun that I currently use for all my bird hunting (dove, turkey, pheasant), and with lack of options, I use it for clay birds. It came with 3 chokes- IC, Mod, Full. I use full for turkey, and modified for everything else. I recently got to thinking about it all, and after...

You may or may not have seen this already. Pretty amusing. Thought I'd share. http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinHumor.htm

I was curious how others felt about mixing different manufacturer's parts when building an AR. I would much rather build one than buy it outright, as that is more appealing to me. There are a few brands I like. I just didn't know if going with all one brand is anal, or unnecessary. I am sure...

It took 13 months, a lot of wrong turns, a lot of drama, and plenty of anger, but I finally have my finished AK as of today. When I bought it, it failed to feed properly. The first gunsmith didn't work out, the second one fixed it. He also refinished the metal. The butt stock was cocked...

I grow tired of the constant bickering in this forum about AR vs AK. I grow even more tired of the misconceptions people have of either side. I'm not saying I have it all figured out. But I do know some things about it. I REALLY don't like the way people spread these lies as truth and...

I was curious as to how many magazines fellow users had for their rifles. I am happy with what I have, but sometimes wonder if I should get more. The other thing I ponder is capacity. For example, if I have 5 30 rounders, and 1 20 rounder, why do I have the 20? Should I get a 10? Perhaps a...

A friend and I had gotten into reloading, and slowly acquired the tools needed over time. My father had given me an RCBS rock chucker he bought in the 80's and never used, and we rounded out our lineup through midwayusa and gun shows. Our bench was an old door on 2 saw horses. We made it...

Hello- Wanted to put this out where more eyes could see it. What would be the better type of finish to put on a stock? I see the oils, (birchwood casey, tung, linseed) and I look at the polyurethanes. Wanted to know what would be best for a nice protective gloss on a rifle stock? I...

So I am purchasing a wooden stock from Ironwood Designs. I decided to go with Hard-Rock Maple for wood. I wanted to know if anyone here could point me in the right direction of this color finish, or something close. I'm guessing it's a honey/brown?

I must be retarded this morning. No matter how I search I can't bring up the threads I was reading about range bags last night. Figured I'd go ahead and kick one off to get an idea of what to bring along. Just picked up a bag the other day, and so far this is what I've accumulated...

I bought a box of Speer 240g JHP's to reload in 44 magnum today, because my usual preference, Hornady XTP's were sold out. Thought I would try it since I want to go shoot it tomorrow. I use Federal Large pistol primers, Winchester brass, and Alliant Blue Dot powder. The last time I loaded...

Well, we've all been there. Most people are always quick to answer "as much as possible" or "one more box" or something to that effect. I was wondering more, do you have a specific amount in mind? For example, with myself I found I always hover in a given area. If it dips below, it's time...

So I had been looking around trying to figure out which type of AR-15 I wanted to get, and I stumbled across this: Yankee Hill Machine Co.'s Black Diamond Specter Carbine This closely represents what I'm looking for, but I would prefer the A2 type stock and a different sight...

So I think I finally settled on the M1 carbine for my home defense needs. I don't see it ever happening, and I hope it never does. It seems the best solution for my situation in regards to control, lethality, accuracy and penetration. I thought about handloading rounds for it, and wanted to...
