I'm interested in buying a Katana and/or Wakazashi. There are many websites that offer mass produced swords for sale new and there are reviews for these. However, when I find one on craigslist or the like how do I know if it's a replica or a real deal? Can anyone point me in the direction of...

Hi folks, I'm in need of some help. I took out the Garand out and the brass from the first shot stuck in the chamber. The bolt went back, but extractor just ripped the rim off of the brass. I got it home and pounded the brass out with a wood dowel, but I'm left wondering what happened. The...

Is there any downside to switching from the stock front sight post on an A2 style Ar-15 to a slimmer front sight post like those pictured here? brownells.com... I have techsights on my .22 and love the slim front sight and thinking of switching out the front on my AR. Am I missing...

I'm new to the Rem 1100. I borrowed one to shoot skeet this season. I've heard that I need to clean it every time I shoot it. Is this true? By clean is that just the gas mechanism or should I pull and clean the action/ trigger assembly every time too? Thanks

I've been in a trap league for a few years and I am considering also doing skeet this year. I don't own a dedicated skeet gun, but I think I can borrow a 20 gauge dedicated skeet gun. I went to sign up and they only offer skeet league in 12, 28, and .410. It's a friendly league and while I...

I have tech sights for my Marlin .22 and they are very nice. I knew they made them for the SKS also and I've always been interested in getting tech sights for the my SKS too. After viewing another member's thread on his SKS tonight I noticed that the rear sight mounts to the very back of the...

At first I was thinking it would be some massively clunky single shot gun, but then it occurred to me all anyone would need to make is an AR receiver and order yourself a parts kit and you have yourself a "home made" AR. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19813382

I was out walking my dog on Wednesday morning in a city park. She discovered a small gut pile. About 2 feet away from the pile was a rabbit head. The gut pile seemed fairly fresh. Instantly I chocked it up to coyotes, there are some coyotes that live in my area and they eat rabbits. Shortly...

I'm looking for a new shotgun. 12 gauge for grouse and pheasant hunting primarily, but also I'd like to be able to shoot a round of skeet from time to time. I'm considering the 930. Anyone own one? What have you heard about them?

I bought a poly lower from New Frontier a few weeks back and finally got it to the range. The lower works fine, but the trigger bothers me a lot. I'm not sure if I can articulate the problem well but here goes. After a shot is fired and you release the trigger the resetting of the trigger...

I was in a trap league last summer. I had a good time and plan on doing that again this year. I'm looking for a new shotgun for clay games. I would like to be able to use this gun for trap, skeet and sporting clays. I'd prefer an O/U, but willing to deviate to a semiauto if something...

I'm in the market for an affordable AR upper. DPMS has some in the sub $500 range that I am looking at. What else is out there in that price range?

I went to the local Giant Outdoor store after work to check out shotguns. They had a used shotgun with a tag that said "Gamba 444" Google knows nothing about this. The manufacturer was Armi Renato Gamba, which some other forum says was formed by a relative of Renato Gamba. It was a single...

I was talking yesterday with a relative who has a FFL who is looking to carry an AR or 2 in stock. He sells mostly at gun shows. He mentioned that he has a Bushmaster that brings people to his table then they leave when they see it's a Bushmaster. He had a similar problem with a DPMS. Is...

I finally got around to properly cleaning my Marlin 795 after 1500 rounds. On the back of the bolt there was some corrosion. I don't know how to describe it there was no rust, its just that there seems to be metal missing and the surface is now very rough. The pics aren't great but I hope you...

I had a conversation with a friend yesterday about guns at political rallies. He was convinced that the reason for bringing guns to political rallies was to intimidate people who have opposing views. He viewed it similar to the black panther marches in the 1960s. I have never been to an...

I have tech sites for my Marlin 795. I have been to 2 appleseed shoots and both times my rear sight comes loose. It is a bit frustrating as a shooter to have nice 1/2" groups in the morning and by the afternoon be shooting 2"+ groups. Do other people have tech sites or any other sights that...

Anyone know if I can take them apart to clean? I usually don't clean mags but I was at a shoot in the rain and they got a bit muddy. How about fixing them? I have one that will not feed the last round into the chamber. Feeds the other 9 rounds in fine but for some reason won't put the last...

Interesting article from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/9394259.stm I find it interesting to get an outside opinion on our news in the US. There are clearly other reasons to continue to have the 2a but is the argument that we as a society need...

Is there a reasonably priced 22 LR semi auto that comes with peep /aperture sights from the factory or would I be better off with installing peep on my own. I'm thinking a Ruger 10/22 or a Marlin 795. I'd prefer not the AR style 22, but if you know of a reliable inexpensive option I may...
