Just a tip I figured out by trial and error a while back - When a whet stone gets all clogged up and gunky, CLR and an old toothbrush clean it right out. I have tried it on a diamond stone and an arkansas stone and they are both much improved. If anybody knows anything that works better please...

I took a used rifle bought at a big outdoors store back on a warranty issue. They sent it off to a gunsmith for repair. They finally got it back this week and my wife went to pick it up. I didn't figure that they'd give it to her anyway, but they told her not only that I have to pick it up...

My wife and I have had our concealed carry previously in a different state, but have recently relocated to West Virginia. We are faced with having to complete another class in order to get our WV CCW. We both have a pretty decent amount of experience with handguns. The issue is, I have a...

I found a Brno VZ 24 in a gun shop today. It is a very well finished sporter in .30-06. I have heard that some were sold as sporters in the 1950s. How can I tell if it is a factory sporter or if it is a sporterized military rifle? I'm not sure I want to buy a rifle that was re-barreled by an...

I will more than likely moving close to the West Virgina Northern panhandle in the near future. This gives me the interesting opportunity to choose between living in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or West Virgina. Which of these states has the best gun laws? And when I say the best, I obviously mean the...

I have a walmart special synthetic Savage 93f that shoots pretty nice and does everything I need. However, I think I may be coming into a little cash pretty soon and I want to get more of an heirloom type .22 rifle that I can pass down to my kids and grandkids eventually. Some guidelines...

I'm looking to get another good quality folding knife. I currently carry a Kershaw. My question is, is a Benchmade significantly better quality? Is it enough to warrant triple the price? In what way is it better? I have no trouble paying more for quality and utility, but I hate to just pay...

My fiance recently hijacked my Ruger LC9 and went and got her CCW permit. Im looking to buy her a crossbreed holster but cannot decide between the Supertuck and the Minituck. What are some advantages and disadvantages of each. Is either of them more suited to a lady's hip?

I just recently acquired a Windham Weaponry carbine with A2 style sights on it. This is my first experience with aperture sights. My question is, how close is too close to put my eye? If I extend the stock all the way out, I see a small target that almost fills the aperture. If I collapse...

Does anyone here own a CETME? I'm considering getting one. Are they reliable and accurate? Are replacement parts available and reasonably priced? I want a reliable semi auto .308 to shoot quite a bit. AR10s seem a little too steep to me. Would I regret buying a CETME?

I'm looking at a Colt Official Police revolver in the local classifieds. They want 275 for it. The seller says it has a little pitting on the outside, but a shiny bore and it locks up tight. The only thing is, it has a matte, parkarized looking finish. I'm thinking this isn't original...

I'm going to be out in Pennsylvania and West Virginia for awhile and planned to take my pistol. I have my Missouri CCW. Is it legal to have a concealed firearm in my vehicle in these states, and if so, is there any place I cannot have it, like parking lots of businesses or whatever?

I am interested in making a SBS from a NEF single shot 12 gauge. I'd like to make it as short as I can while still having decent velocity. At what point would the barrel be too short to be effective? Also, when you go to fill out the ATF form 1 on length, can you list multiple? I would like...

Is high velocity .22 lr safe for an old Huntsman in good condition? Specifically I am thinking of a box of CCI Stingers I have laying around. Also, does anyone know of a place to get aftermarket grips for it? The original plastic ones are starting to crack and I would like to put them...

I have a springfield GI .45. I've put a couple hundred rounds through it and it has been reliable but when hand cycling live rounds it tends to keep the round hooked in the extractor instead of ejecting them. It looks like the case might be riding up over the ejector instead of hitting it and...

I'm looking at a pistol I like on gunbroker. The problem is, I dont turn 21 for about a month. The question is, could I order now and have the FFL it gets shipped to hold it until I come of age? Is it legal for me to actually pay for a handgun before I'm 21 as long as its not transferred to me...

My 21st birthday is coming up here in a bit and I'm planning on buying my first 1911. I had my heart set on a parkerized Springfield GI but it seems like they are on back order everywhere I look. Would I be losing anything in reliability or quality by going with a Rock Island and throwing...

I just started reloading .30-30 not too long ago with a lee handloader. Its all been going real good and I enjoy it a lot. However, I'm going to be in the market for a 1911 pretty soon, and I don't think that a handloader in .45 acp is going to cut it for me. I got no problem sitting down and...

I have been reading online about greasing a parkerized gun and then baking it for a few hours at 250-350 degrees F in order to season it, kind of like a cast iron skillet. Supposedly it protects against rust better. Is there any danger of softening or annealing the metal by doing this? I...
