    ATF to re-examine whether "bump-stocks" and "other devices" are machine guns

    The ATF and the DOJ are currently deciding whether "bump- stocks" and "similar devices" fall under the definition of "machine guns." Regardless of what your thoughts are on "bump-stocks," I believe that this is an issue that should concern us all for at least two reasons. One, being the...

    Pre-2004 Leupold 50ft adapter

    I've got a nice older Leupold 12x scope that I would like to use for .22 rimfire 50 ft indoor benchrest matches. However, the AO won't focus that close. I've seen the 50ft adapters for sale for around $50 but they are for post 2004 Leupolds and I bought mine in the 90's. Although I know they...

    2 Remington model 12, 22s with troubles...

    I have two Remington/U.M.C. model 12s; a “New Model” 22, S, L, LR and model 12CS 22 Remington Special and am having a similar problem with both of them. So far I haven’t been able to solve it. Neither rifle will cycle cartridges if loaded when the internal hammer is cocked but will function if...

    Selecting a good 9mm Range Shooter…

    I’m looking to purchase a 9mm pistol to casually target shoot with. With 9mm being the least expensive and most widely available center fire ammo, I want to find a very accurate pistol that I can afford to shoot frequently without reloading. Although I do reload, 9mm is still cheap enough (at...

    More Remlin junk... this time in the Marlin X7...

    Warning, rant to follow: Remlin strikes again.... I mounted a scope on a brand new Marlin X7 yesterday and when I tried to bore sight it there wasn't enough vertical adjustment. For the heck of it I tried a different scope and rings, same problem. The barrel looks straight and is a very heavy...

    byf 43 P38

    Any ideas what a fair price might be for a very clean, Mauser, byf 43, P38 with all numbers matching, original bakelite grips, original finish in probably 95% condition? The gun must have been a bring back as there are no import markings. I've heard that there are quite a few of these out...

    Charles Daly / Miroku over/under

    I ran into a very nice Charles Daly / Miroku o/u trap gun for sale the other day with a lower barrel that won’t fire. I was thinking of buying it and fixing it. I seem to recall this being a somewhat common problem with these guns and a bit of a pain to fix and find parts for. I also seem to...

    Trapdoor Springfield questions...

    After just buying one old/antique rifle now I’m afraid I’m hooked on them. I found this 1873 Trapdoor Springfield rifle I'm thinking of buying in really nice shape. I'm trying figure out how "messed with" and original it is before I'm committed to buy it. It's an 1873 (at least that is what is...

    Spencer Rifle questions

    I have a few questions regarding a Spencer Rifle I just bought and am somewhat of a newbie when it comes to antique guns. It’s a three band, Spencer rifle, manufactured by Spencer. On the plus side, the bore is in surprisingly good shape with very distinct, crisp rifling and very minimal pitting...

    Remington model 7 in 222

    Does anyone out there have some experience shooting a Remington model 7 in any of the smaller "varmint" calibers from a bench to get a good idea what they are capable of? I'm wondering how much of an impact that short light barrel has on accuracy. I've heard some mixed reports on other model...

    So just how accurate is a Marlin 39A?

    There is a pristine, pre-safety Marlin 39A Golden at the local shop for $400. I have always heard they were great shooters but never had one. I've had/have plenty of other good quality rimfires including several CZ's, A-bolt, Rem 541, 77/22 as well as others and just wonder how it would stack...

    How many Parker owners actually hunt with them?

    The other day I was thinking about getting out my 1898 Parker VH 12 ga and taking it for a little walk to see if I could flush a bird or kick up a rabbit. Then I started thinking that maybe I should just take out something else. While it doesn't have much original finish left on it because of...
