At a LGS today and ran across an unfired satin nickel hi power ( Belgium ) with a black pouch. This one has the gold trigger and a fixed rear sight. I believe it is from the 80's ( not absolute ). The price was $900 and I was wondering if that seemed fair or high in todays market. I have seen...

I have a done a forum search on these but would like to know from owners, etc. how long this pistol may have been in production. Also what would be the current value on an early model. Any other information would be appreciated.

I've been looking at some of the AR offerings for a while now and was leaning towards the Colt 6920 based on various threads, forums, etc. I have however came across a couple of the 6720's which have me thinking. I would like to have some other opinions on the matter. To my knowledge the only...

I have one of the old Thompson Center Hawkins muzzleloaders which I had given to on of my boys to use a few yrs back. I thought I would try using it for deer hunting, but when I took it out of the case the inside of the barrel was all rusted out as well as what looked like rust all inside of...

I'll confess to being a bit unfamiliar with semi-auto shotguns except for a Remington 1100 I had briefly a few years back. Now I have a Franchi light 12 which I'm having a problem with concerning shells left in the magazine. I think you have to load the magazine first and then load one shell in...

I have it on good authority that in the near future Indiana will be allowing the use of rifles for deer hunting as long as they are considered handgun cartridges. My question would be is there any real advantages by going this route as compared to the shotgun/slug combo. Any downrange...

A friend of mine asked me what I knew about the 204 Ruger the other day and I confessed that other than it being rather fast I didn't know what the attraction was. I'm sure I could do a search here, but is this just another caliber which offers no additional benefits over existing ones. I'm not...

Anybody tried a Konus rifle scope? I've seen that Jim Owens is touting one of their spotting scopes on his website, but I'm curious if their rifle scopes match up.

Stopped by for a quick look see at one of the local gun shops on my way home tonite, and noticed on the rack behind the counter what looked to be an AR-15. A hand written sign stated it was a S&W MP-15. I guess I'm a little out of the loop lately, so does anyone have the scoop on it. I didn't...

I have a particular Franchi semi-auto shotgun I acquired several years ago which I believe is their standard model. I have long since giving up doing any shotgun hunting, so therefore never had occasion to even take it out to try firing it. However, just yesterday I participated in a European...

I've been looking over the CZ rifles on the CZ-USA website and gunbroker to get an idea for a new 6.5 x55 I've been thinking about. There have been some descriptions with LUX included. Does anyone know what this stands for?

Ran into an older gentleman last evening as I was wondering around a local gun shop, with a couple 1909 Argentines he was trying to sale to the shop. The owner wasn't too keen on buying them because he couldn't guess what they might be because of no caliber markings. Guy was only wanting $125...

I was in a local store today and noticed one of the Mossberg SS1 single shot rifles which they had marked down on clearance. Looked to be similar to a Ruger, with a nice walnut stock and a schnabel forend. They had one in both 223 and 308, and for the price it seemed like a lot of gun for the...

I was wanting to strip off the old finish on my newly acquired Russian capture, and wasn't too sure of the correct prodedure for taking the stock off of the rifle. I know the front barrel band should just come off towards the front site, but how is the best way to achieve this? What else is...

Anyone know how many of the 16 ga. 1100's there might have been manufactured? I recently seen one for sale in 99% condition with a plain barrel. (2 3/4 chamber) It had the nicer wood with checkering and engraving on the receiver, etc. Seems they want a small fortune for it since it seems to be...

Walked into a local shop today and a S&W sales rep. was showing off one of the new 500 revolvers. I had seen the pics in one of their brochures and there is an article in one of the recent American Riflemans as well. Still its hard to imagine the size of this thing until you get one in your...
