Was at the range today, with a friend who is a range instructor. While I fired my Mosin, he fired his Browning 1895 .30-06. After I finished firing my Mosin (48 rounds, shoulder is sore) he offered to let me shoot his rifle. It was amazingly pleasant to shoot, recoil was much less than my Mosin...

I really want to find a semi auto rifle in 6 to 7mm calibers, is there any besides the myriad of Armalite/Stoner derived designs and the AG42? I'm hopefully looking for one that can be easily acquired at a budget of $600 or less, any ideas? Calibers I definitely am looking at: .260 Rem 6.8...

Try as I might I cannot find a dealer carrying this stuff, I've only shot light ball in my mosin, I'm pleased with the result, but i wonder if a heavier bullet shoots any better. Where can I find this, and more importantly, does it shoot better?

I've read a lot of posts on here about people stating things like: "I don't feel safe without my gun on my person." and "I won't eat there, I can't carry my gun inside". That seems a little much, considering we are not in some lawless wild west town where everyone has a revolver in a holster...

I've heard the M76 is a fair candidate for rewelding. I can get a cut receiver for like $15. Is there a BATF approved design for a basis for rewelding, as there is at least a few people who have done it, and i have someone who is willing to do it, pending if I can get him a design or not. I...

My remington M510 has some ugly specks of paint on it. Whats something that can be used without harming the metal/stock, its oil based already scrubbing.

Got to shoot 55 rounds out of my Mosin 91/30, and my shoulder hurts like a @$#$. Are there any good, durable muzzle brakes I can put on it? Yes, I already have a recoil pad on it, which helped, but I'm still sore after shooting it. I saw this one ...

Assuming the country you visit has a rifle you want and it is legal for you to purchase, what would you need to do to get it back to the states? Let assume I was getting a semi auto rifle.

I want to parkerize a shotgun receiver and barrel. Do I need to plug the barrel beforehand? If so, what should i use?

The AK/S I own has a muzzle nut on it, welded in place. If I were to have it removed what thread type is underneath? I'd put a good muzzle brake on it if I could. No 922r here as it is preban.

I have an acquaintance who owns an antique/consignment (de facto pawnshop). He has been dealing in antique arms for a while but has been interested in getting an FFL so he can legally deal in newer guns. A few questions: His shop cannot be a pawnshop, due to his [expletive] up town council...

I just dunno anymore, I personally hold the belief that ARs aren't worth my time but it seems they get more bashing than any other rifle. Coincidence? I think not, I now believe that it is reliable only when free of outside contaminants. Carbon fouling seems not to bother it in tests I have...

This is a new design I have considered, it being an original design based on the increasing popularity of delayed blowback arms. The target platform is portable machine guns and not infantry rifles. The rough diagram illustrates the construction of the bolt and its operation. Anything striped is...

I have been thinking about a revision to the Stoner Gas system, mainly to help with increased heat associated with the M16 and M4, as well as reducing fouling in the breech/action area. The basic revisions I have thought about are: The gas is bled off before entering the breech, in other...

I was wondering, would bear spray use to fight off attacker be classified as excessive force? I have seen its effects on people and it seems much more satisfactory than conventional pepper spray. Also, can you get it in purse sizes? My mother sometimes goes to NY, and has to go through some...

I got a 1917 Enfield, sporterized with a Clearfield scope for $100. The year 1917 is visible below the scope base, which I have not removed, but that tells me this is the .30-06 version and not .303. Best buy I have made in a while. The stock is cut down and the peep sight is gone, in favor...

Besides obvious cosmetic changes, what all is different, specifically: Takedown/stripping- does it use the cross pin system? Charging handle - The handle can be positioned on the left or right like G36? Sight compatibility - can you mount a milspec red dot on it? Stocks - Do the G36...

I have acquired a project gun, a Savage 67 shotgun. It is covered in ugly camo tape, and is in rough shape, under the tape is surface rust. I want to make it into a suitable general purpose shotgun. I do not know the gauge, as I cannot find a model number, yet. I want to know some good sources...

I was reading about a guy who got a .32 acp cylinder, and reamed one chamber for .327 fed. I want to know, is this safer than chambering it straight in a regular 38r cylinder? From photos it looks like the .32 cylinder is much thicker and would be a better candidate (the M95's frame is very...
