I have been emailing, calling, and sending letters to my elected officials telling them that I don't want any more gun control. I have been curious as to what is the most effective way to communicate with them. I found this video in a google search...

I have been losing sleep lately thinking about the attacks on the 2nd Amendment. Several people in my family actually voted for these anti-freedom zealots in the white house, and that is driving me crazy as well. The first thing I did this morning was make a donation to the NRA-ILA. I feel a...

Why is the rally on a Friday? That guarantees a lower turnout because many have to work that day. I really wanted to go to a rally but I don't think I can make it on a Friday.

I'm thinking about going to the CMP South Store this Saturday. I know there is going to be a race at Talladega then. I want to get there when the store opens at 8am. Do I need to get started extra early to avoid traffic? Does anyone have experience with traffic on I-20 during these races?

I read that all you need for corrosive ammo cleaning is Hoppes 9 solvent. I read this on 7.62x54r.net in their faq section. I really don't feel comfortable using water on my Mosin. Has anyone here tried using only Hoppes 9 solvent for cleaning rifles after corrosive ammo? I tried corrosive...

I have a really old inherited pump shotgun. It was wrapped in camo tape for years. I took the tape off and there is sticky residue from the tape all over the metal and wood. I finally figured out that WD-40 removes the residue from the metal. I started scrubbing the wood with 0000 steel wool...

I noticed that I am getting some light surface rust on some guns. I have my safe located in a corner where there are 2 outside walls; one wall behind and one wall on the side of it. It is a 24 gun safe that weighs about 500 pounds. The room is on the ground level and is temperature controlled. I...

I just saw a Springfield XD .45 13 round magazine with grip sleeve for $34 at a popular online store. I paid about $40 for one at a local shop. Why are some magazines so expensive? I can get windowed magpul Pmags for $17 with free shipping. I'm sure that Pmags are a lot tougher than these...

I went to walmart today and have some bad news. Several ammo prices have gone up. Federal 9mm and .45 has gone up. Winchester .22 is up on the 333 box. Remington .223 has gone up on the 20 round UMC box. The good news is the russian ammo is still the same price. The 550 round boxes of .22 are...

I am thinking about buying an SKS that I saw online. It is a Yugoslavian series 59 in "pristine" condition priced at $380. They have been rebuilt and refinished with new barrels. I know that SKS's have increased in price a lot in the last several years. Does this sound like a good deal? Will...

I am about to pick up my second Mosin this month. I would like to order a third soon. I think they will go up in value over time. I also want to hand them down to my kids in about 20 years. Will my dealer get suspicious that I am having three of the same type of gun transferred to their shop in...

I just picked up my first Mosin today. It's an M44 that I ordered online for $200 and paid an extra $10 for a hand pick best of five. This is my first military surplus rifle, so I didn't know what to expect. I noticed that there are some serious dings in the wood stock. More than a few. There...

I am doing some record keeping inventory and I can't find the serial number on a Marlin Glenfield Model 60 .22LR. Does anyone know where I can find it?

I'm thinking about picking up my first Mosin. I am leaning towards an M44 carbine. I like how the bayonet is attached to the M44. Would that be a good choice or should I pick up the 1891/30 for less than half the price?

My siblings and I have inherited a NAA mini revolver in .22 magnum with a 1 5/8 inch barrel with original grips. It's in excellent condition with the original box. It's probably around 10 years old. Most likely no more than 200 rounds fired. How much do these sell for in a private sale? We...

I'm thinking about buying an Arsenal SGL type rifle. I've noticed on youtube that more people seem to like them in 5.45 x 39 caliber rather that 7.62 x 39. Does anyone know why? I've only fired 7.62 x 39 in these type of rifles and I like that caliber.

I just received a new receiver cover for a WASR in the mail from Apex. The new receiver cover finish looks very worn out and does not match the gun. I thought I was getting a new receiver cover, but this one has seen some serious use. Should I get some high quality spray paint for it or should...

You guys might remember my thread about the .357. I am now trying to figure out the value of an old S&W .32 caliber revolver. I opened the cylinder and the four digit number on the frame is 24**. Is that a model number or serial number? There is also a 6 digit number on the bottom of the...

What do you think about the somewhat new Tapco Razr muzzle device for AK variant rifles? I really like the look of these.

I have a REMINGTON MODEL 10-A, 12 GAUGE (PUMP). This is an antique shotgun. The condition is "NRA standard good" in my opinion. I know it functions well because I have shot it. What would one of these sell for at a private sale? What would a gun store offer to buy this from me? I'm not...
