    Old 39A - would like a peep sight

    Evening everyone. I inherited this old 39A (believe it was manufactured in the 1940s), I really enjoy the rifle but I'm not too fond of the scope. I primarily shoot at paper or steel targets between 25-50 yards, don't do any hunting or long range applications. I think I'd like a set of peep...

    Inherited S&W .38 Revolver, can you help me ID it?

    Good afternoon, My cousin inherited this revolver recently. He's not really a gun person and I'm not interested in this type of pistol, I'd like your help with a few questions. What model # is this, any idea the date of manufacture?, also what would be a fair price if he decides to sell it...

    I have a Colt O1991, only thing I'd like to change on it is the stock sights (below). Does anyone offer a fiber optic front sight (preferably with an adjustable rear sight) for this model?

    Marlin 1894 Loading Gate Issue

    Evening everyone, I recently purchased my first lever gun, a new Marlin 1894 in .357 magnum. Overall it's a great rifle, with exception of the stiff loading gate (it was so bad I couldn't load the rounds without a tool). I ordered a third party loading gate from a reputable manufacturer (ranger...

    New to reloading, review my purchase before I buy

    Evening everyone, I'm interested in reloading .357 mag and eventually 44 mag, I'm putting together a list of equipment I need to get started. I've landed on the Lee Turret system, from the advice of others I'm leaning towards the kit. Below is an itemized list of what I plan on buying to get...

    Ruger American Rimfire - Poor Groups W/ CCI Quiet

    Good Afternoon, I'm trying to get my American Rimfire dialed in with CCI Quiets so I can run it suppressed as a squirrel gun. I've yet to get reasonable groups out of it, if you take a look at the images you'll see what I'm talking about. I get decent results with most ammo (see the MiniMag &...

    Ammo arrived wet, green. What to do?

    Hi Everyone, I ordered some really cheap 9mm reloads from what I thought was Freedom Munitions, but was actually a copy cat website (appears some guy is running this operation from his garage). He was a few weeks late shipping my order, I had to request updates a few times but finally...

    Smith & Wesson 617

    I've been trying to find one of these ever since I got in to handguns six or seven years ago. Last week I finally got tired of looking and made an impulse buy on GB, I'm very glad I did. Today I took it out to the range, wow what a sweet shooter. No recoil, trigger is nice and smooth, sights are...

    Looking at the picture below, what would be the safest way to remove these white paint specs without damaging the appearance of the wood? This is an old Iver Johnson pump .22 I recently inherited. Thanks!

    My new (to me) Smith & Wesson 686-1 (M)

    I've always loved the power of the .357 magnum. What I haven't always loved is the recoil (my only other option at the moment is a 3" SP101 which is quite the handful with full house loads). I'm also hesitant to run the hot stuff in my S&W Model 19. Today I picked up something I've been wanting...

    Ruger Mark III Hunter

    I was picking up some ammo at the LGS and decided to look through the gun displays, ended up impulse buying one of these babies: I'm hoping to have a range report tomorrow! I'm not much of a "hunter" but this will find itself on range duty quite often I imagine.

    Removing black oxide from pocket clip

Acid, wire wheel, vinegar? *EDIT - also, would the griptilian / mini griptilian replacement pocket clips fit the North...

    Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum, 3" Barrel - My New Gun

    I've been eying these for a long time and finally came across one at the LGS. Something about the 3" that I like, I can conceal it just fine, shoot it well, and it's neither too big nor too small. Grips are hardwood Goncalo Alves and feel great in the hand, I feel like I'm in complete control...

    Don't stop and help people on the side of the road

    I was telling my girlfriend the other day about a story I read online, a guy pulled over to assist an unidentified person lying on the side of the road in a rural area. As he approached the individual a few guys emerged from the roadside brush and robbed him...

    Got myself a Ruger SR1911 Commander today!

    I've liked the SR1911s ever since I watched Hickok45's review a few years ago. Well today I came across the Commander version and had to have it! No range report yet, but it fits my hand well, looks pretty, and will probably be carried IWB in the winter months once I've broken it in and...

    Purchased a Ruger LCR tonight!

    After a nightmare of an experience with Kahr I'm back to revolvers, this time for good! This one will be carried from now on, likely in my front pocket. It was a toss up between the LCR and the 642. I held both at the gun store today and a few things steered me toward the Ruger: the LCR felt a...

    Kahr P380 - Nonstop Issues, Jams, Etc.

    I bought a P380 back in October 2013 for pocket carry, did the 'break in' with 200+ rounds and had nothing but issues the entire time. I then put another 100 rounds through it in November thinking maybe it was broken in and I wouldn't have any issues. Nope - nonstop failure to load, rounds...

    I've long wanted a comfortable 9mm for range / target shooting and a small 380 for pocket carry. Today I finally got my wish, went after work to the gun shop and landed on these beauties!!!
