I was online and stumbled across a decent looking .22 bolt action and before I knew it, my credit card magically levitated out of my pocket and the rifle done got ordered. Here is the place I got it from: http://www.bdlltd.com/730-_BSA_Sportsman_15.jpg I spoke to the business owner...

I have a question and cannot find the answer anywhere, so I am throwing this out to you guys. To purchase a handgun in North Carolina, you have to get a handgun purchasing permit from the local sheriff ($5). No big deal there, but what if you have a C&R license? Do you still need to get a...

So my mother in law asked me to clean her gun last week. I said I would since I like doing those kinds of things. I was also interested to see what kind of gun it was since she is not too familiar with what she has, except that it is a .25. Just a few months ago, she sold me her Colt .38...

I have a K98 in which the stock seperated along the grain. It was a complete seperation in which the stock was in 2 pieces. It was a 45° split that originated just forward of the wrist on the left, and continued through the action cut out on the right, kind of like this: / if you look down...

Hello everyone, I value your opinions greatly, so I would appreciate your advice. I saw a Ruger MK I targer with a 5 1/2" bull barrel for sale at a local pawnshop for $250. Not a MK II, but a MK I. For just a couple of dollars more, I can get a new MK III or even a newer MK II from the...

Good morning friends. I submitted a post on sks boards, but no one offered any advice so I thought I'd ask here. Here is my posting, word for word and I really do appreciate any opinions. I got 2 yugo M59's as Century u-fix-ems, $69 each. All the parts are there, but the bores are...

Last night, when we got home, the neighbor was telling us that the police were looking for Mrs. and they were asking for her by name. We were very curious as to why and from the looks that the neighbor was giving us, we started thinking the worst. The officer didn’t leave a card or note or...

I believe that this is the only time that I bout a gun that I don't really like. I got my Winchester .44 rem mag Trapper last night and I am not impressed. The wooden stock was replaced by a ramline plastic pos and I have issues with the rebound hammer, it just don't look right. The wife flat...

There is a person local that is selling a 8mm FN-49 for $500. I am thinking of buying it, but I am not too sure. I am not a hunter and will not be buying it for an investment. It will only be taken to the range a couple of times a year. How fun is this gun? What are the pros and cons of...

The wife and I are planning a kid-free weekend in Las Vegas and I thought that it would be a perfect time to introduce her to my recently purchased P90. She has only shot a small handgun once in her life so this will be a big step for her. I don’t want to overwhelm her at the range so I thought...

Sorry for the late post, but this auction expires in 3 hours. If you are near Clarksville, TN and are in need of a Gun safe, you should be able to make one out of this monster. It weighs a ton (litterally) and the current bid is $486. I don't think this is a normal "RSC".:D...

I am looking at buying a used Universal for $250 and my question is: Should I? I want an M1 and I am not too concerned about getting a WWII vet. I am in the process of completing the requirements to join CMP so I can get a warhorse, but should I grab this one?

Hi all, Sorry for the short notice, but I am heading out to Burro Canyon tomorrow to have fun with my milsurps. I plan on shooting my 91/30, M44, M38, SKS and maybe my K31. If anyone wants to meet up, give me a shout. And if anyone is looking for an excuse to take off, I would be...

I have a bit of a dilemma. I have 3 Mosin's and the local range forbids ammo with magnetic bullets; that is when they hold a magnet against the bullet and it sticks, you are kicked off the range. I called Century and asked for non-magnetic ammo. They sold me their Czech 7.62x54R hollow core...

Hi all, I am thinking about buying a milsurp rifle from Keystone Arms and I would like to get opinions concerning the quality of his grading. I know that some suppliers would give a grade of 'excellent' while others would give only a 'good'. Would it be worth it to pay the extra $10 for a...

I am looking for the leather straps that are on the webbed slings for my Mosins. The ones I have are dried and cracked. I have looked everywhere like ebay, surplusrifle.com and a few others and all I found are complete slings. Does anyone know where I can get replacements for these straps...

I didn't see this posted anywhere else, so I thought I'd share. It shows the pressure waves when a .44 mag is fired. The photo is up there with the Navy fighter breaking the sound barrier. I apologize for the poor scan, but the waves are represented beautifully. Please note that I...

So I went to the Crossroads of the West gun show in Costa Mesa this weekend. The main reason I went (besides to ogle) was that I have been teaching my wife’s 14 yr old cousin about firearms and I thought this would be a good opportunity to introduce him to an armed society. His sole experience...

I am looking to find a range close to where I live but the closest one wants me to buy their ammo. It is $1.40 for 40 rounds for .22lr. I have a brick off 500 I want to get rid of, but they said no outside ammo. The reason is that they require full metal jacketed ammo so my ammo is not...

Hello, I'm a poor man, can't afford to spend $4,000 on a gun, but this is one of my life's desires. Does anyone know if there is a BAR M1918 "kit" available or anywhere a low-priced BAR can be found? Any advice or information is greatly appreicated.
