    Finally got a 357 levergun

    I love .357 rifles. I have a Marlin that's ridden in my truck for probably 15 years. I think they are hard to beat as a general purpose firearm. While I don't expect to go into combat with one I wouldn't want to get in a firefight with someone who was using one either. The combo of improved...

    M10X pistol versus other AK pistols? Help?

    I've been kicking around getting an AK pistol for a while and after looking around on line I've realized I should have done this BEFORE Covid. I'm looking for something with an 11-12" barrel that takes AK mags in 7.62x39. I want to put a folding brace on it and if it can take an optic that...

    Best sling options for a Henry 001 .22?

    Like the title says, what are my best sling options for a Henry lever action 001 .22 with under barrel mag tube? I've looked at the swivels that clamp to the mag tube. Are they secure? Since the mag tube is clamped to the barrel will it effect the point of aim? Are there other better options?

    Lightweight Rifle Bolt-Action

    As was stated, the real question is how much you expect to be shooting it. One shot with maybe a single quick follow up isn't going to heat up your barrel enough to worry about. If you expect to dump several 10-15 round magazine through it, then what are you shooting at? If you are mag...

    Thoughts on hanging a firearm as decoration?

    I'm about to redo my office at home. I haven't decided on anything final but the idea hit me to display a rifle on the wall. I have a variety to chose from but thought about putting one of my lever actions with some nice wood up someplace. We have no children in the house so it's just my...

    PS90 1st Gen optic conversion. Possible?

    I have a first generation PS90. Is there a way to remove the current optic and replace it with a rail like the newer models use? I called FN and the random customer service person said they didn't think so, but "I don't think" isn't the same as "I know for a fact". Any ideas?

    What's the downside to 1:7 in an AR?

    I've got an AR lower I was going to build up before all the craziness hit the fan. For now I've got it on hold but I expect eventually all this will die down and I'll be able to buy parts for it again without taking out a second mortgage. So I'm looking for some opinions on barrel twist rate...

    Gel test: 12 ga birdshot wax slug

    I'm pretty surprise at how poorly that penetrated. I was really expecting about twice that. Might make an interesting fragable (sp?) round for home defense for people worried about over penetration or missed shots as long as you're willing to trade off the decreased effectiveness for increased...

    Why does NICS need the serial number of my new gun?

    Thanks SAM1911, that would explain it. So I guess this is more of a state level problem. Still, the question remains valid. Why would they NEED the SN of my new guns? Seems kinda cheesy to me...

    Why does NICS need the serial number of my new gun?

    I bought a couple of new guns recently and the experience got me to wondering something. I purchased a couple of handguns from an online dealer and had them shipped to my local guy. He doesn't mind doing transfers since he considers it a good deal for him. He's a smaller shop, basically a one...

    Ultimak vs TWS vs MI dot mount for AK sights

    Please check the MI link I provided. It is not a link to the MI top rail, it is a link to a red dot holder that replaces the rear sight. I suppose I should expand my question to include both the MI rear sight replacement system AND the MI handguard replacement. So please feel free to give...

    Ultimak vs TWS vs MI dot mount for AK sights

    Wanted to get some feedback from people who have hands on experience with these three sight systems. I have an Arsenal AK without a side rail I want to put a red dot on. I also want to be able to use iron sights as a back up. So far the best three solutions I can find are; Texas Weapon...

    At what point can magazine limits be contested as "Infringement"?

    At what point do restrictions on magazine capacity cross over from regulation to infringement? At what point can we get these laws struck down by the SCOTUS? I've been wondering about this lately since seeing what's happening in NY and other Northeastern states. One common way of...

    Why are people mad at stores for raising prices?

    Let me preface this with the fact that I am not in the gun business. This is just an observation I've made recently. Over the last several weeks I've been reading about all the panic buying. Yes, my local store shelves are empty also. In response to this crazy buying frenzy some stores are...

    Not into AR/AK/FAL Rifles, Battle Rifle alternatives?

    I think what you are asking for is something of a contradiction. To say you want a battle rifle but don't want a semi-auto is kind of confusing since most people would include that in the definition. If you want a "battle rifle" that has nice wood and feels traditional I'd suggest an M1A. Or a...

    Can a coverted Saiga use its original magazines?

    I've looked and can't find a reliable answer to this. I know that Saiga magazines have an integrated bullet guide in them. I know that to covert a Saiga in 7.62 you have to install a bullet guide and file down the magazine catch a little for it to accept standard AK47 magazines. So my...

    Looking for a specific unusual pocket knife

    A little background. 25 years ago I'm a typical bone headed E4 in the Army and my grandfather sends me a really nice pocket knife. It was pretty unusual and I stupidly carried it around with me instead of putting it up. Lost it in the air terminal while waiting for a C130 to ship my unit to...

    Cleaning a pitted bore?

    It might be a muzzle problem. If you find that the muzzle is nicked or worn out you might be able to find a gunsmith to counterbore your muzzle for you. I have a Mosin that has been counterbored and it shoots great.

    Are high end 1911s worth the money?

    Quick opinion question. Are the higher end 1911s (Kimber, Dan Wesson, etc) worth the money they cost? Are they that much better than guns in the $500-600 range? I ask because I've kind of been itching for a "pretty" 1911. The only 1911 I have right now is a Springfield GI model. Great gun...

    New .22lr/410 combo gun

    Personally I'll be more interested in seeing the .22 mag/ 20 gauge version if they ever come out with one.
