Has a 244 prefix (which I know is about a 1996-1997 rifle). Appears very clean and to be in good working order. Anything I need to look for in particular before I buy? Price is right (sub $400), but I don't know 10/22's that well. Thanks!

I'm currently carrying a CW45 on my ankle, and have been doing so for about a year now. Over the last month or so, I've noticed some pain in that ankle. Not sure if it's too heavy for that or what (I'm a big guy, so it's still very concealed), but it's got me to thinking about getting...

Will the Hogue Bantam Grips for a S&W J Frame fit the Taurus 85? If not, is there anything similar that's halfway decent? Edit: The Hogue monogrip just doesn't do it for me. It ends up sticking over the backstrap (for lack of a better term) by like 1/16" when I put it on per the instructions.

I currently carry a CW45 [very comfortably] on my ankle (fat legs are a plus at times), but I've had an issue with the slide stop wanting to walk out on me and a couple of FTE's at the range lately. As a result, I've been looking in to an XDs and a Glock 36. Does anybody own all three or...

If you can get a rifle in multiple twist rates (in this case, a T3 Lite in .223 with a twist rate of 1:12 or 1:8), why would you ever go for the slower rate (1:12)? I suppose if I know I'll only be shooting lighter bullets, maybe it would be ok, but if all the variables of cost are the same...

Do they make one? All I've been able to find is one for the XD9 or XD40. Anybody use this holster for their XD45?

I have a SS Colt Series 80 1911. It was my dad's, and he didn't really keep up with cleaning it like he should have. As a result, it has (what appears to be) two rather large (approx. 1/16" to 1/8" each) blemishes in the barrel just on the rifling side of the chamber. They look like pits...

I've decided I want to use my Christmas bonus to buy a new lever gun. I want it to be a 30-30 (nostalgic reason, I guess) and it needs to be drilled/tapped so I can put a scope on it. Blued is fine unless stainless is the same price. Not all that concerned about it being a show piece, but I...

Anybody know how to get an approximate manufacture date on a Colt Mk. IV Series 80 1911 without having to pay Colt $100? SN is SS1211x (names changed to protect the innocent, yadda yadda) Thanks in advance! Edit: I know it was likely somewhere between 1983 and 1988 because it's a Series 80...

I have a Buckmark already, but I've been offered a NIB 22/45 with interchangeable grips (only has the Ruger rubber ones with it) and a factory threaded barrel (but without the rails that one of those models has) and 2 magazines for $300. A friend bought it and now has the need to sell it...

I'm trying to find out what Hogue grip sleeve to use for my XD45. The one that they make specifically for the XD pistols says they're for all of them except the XD45. My question is this - will that one work (but be more snug and require more prodding) or will it simply be too small and...

I'm looking into getting a new bolt gun for the bench and as a back-up (deer) hunting rifle (I also have a Tikka T3 Lite in 30-06 which is my primary deer rifle). I'm limiting my looking to .223 because I want to keep ammo compatibility with my AR (which, for various reasons, I won't be using...

So, I sort of lucked into a M85 today. Pretty happy with it (it will be the gun I carry on my hip when I'm hunting and will replace my granddad's old "service" J-Frame which has far too much sentimental value to be dragging through the mud) so far, but the trigger seems very "gritty" for lack...

My LGS has an XD45 "on clearance" because they're (apparently) trying to get rid of their inventory of the non (m) XD pistols. I have owned an XD9. I liked it and had exactly zero trouble with it (but sold it to finance other projects). I'm looking to get a .45 cal. pistol right now that is...

Bought a TacStar 2 shot extension for my Winchester 1300. Tried it out, and it seems that the threads on the end of the magazine are 1/16" too long for the barrel ring and the fat part of the extension (knurled grip area) to meet. As a result, with the extension screwed down all the way as far...

So, I sort of "lucked into" a never fired, safe queen Winchester 1300 in 12 ga. It's got a modified choke, but no others; all black, and I believe a 26" or 28" smooth barrel. Just wondering where you guys have found parts for it. I'm specifically looking for the choke wrench and a short(er)...

I have a S.A. Loaded 1911. I'm considering replacing the 2-piece guide rod with a standard guide rod and the plug with a standard model as well. The main reason is that it complicates the take-down process and the unscrew-able piece of the guide rod keeps unscrewing during prolonged firing...

So, I've acquired a SS Colt Mark IV Ser. 80 1911 (was my dad's, and he's now decided to let me have it). After cleaning it this last time, I function checked it and (without thinking) let the slide drop on an empty chamber. Bad idea, I know, but the hammer followed the slide (so, I guess I'm...

I figured this would get more views in this category, but if it belongs in the gunsmithing section, mods, feel free to move it. I'm thinking of replacing the "collet" barrel bushing on an early 80's Colt Series 80 1911 with a solid bushing. I understand that the barrel in those guns has a...
