    Replacement recoil pad too many shapes to choose from

    Anybody want to recommend a brand/shape recoil pad for a shotgun used in home defense and some range work. I will be using a more squared up stance. From reading, maybe convex (curved out) is better but not sure.

    A suitable finish for m39 finnish mosin nagant new forearm, to match old stock?

    Broke the forearm on a m39 Finnish mosin nagant I have. Bought an unfinished new old stock from gunbroker. Wonder how I should finish it to match. Anybody know historically what they used in the Finnish army? Thanks.

    Does practicing with a 22 pistol improve defensive carry of bigger caliber pistol?

    Thanks for replies. In this vein, someone recommend a 22lr pistol? I only know rugers are quite famous. Maybe should get something light so as much recoil as possible? I carry a m&p shield so nothing equivalent.

    Does practicing with a 22 pistol improve defensive carry of bigger caliber pistol?

    By practicing I mean shooting at the range. Maybe competition like IDPA if that's a thing. Ammo price difference is so big. Can mean a lot more practice.

    Lost in the woods 1972

    Everyone should get a personal locator beacon for going off trail. I use it for scuba diving in very remote spots. It's not that useful stuck in water for days but on land it's quite useful when lost. The satellite gets pinged and the us coastguard will contact the authorities of whichever...

    Recommend gunsmith that can shorten a synthetic stock

    For Benelli M4. Typically people have used a metal or wood plate and some epoxy (marine tex) for strengthening butt and attaching recoil pad. Then attached some recoil pad that is grinded down to fit. I will try it if can't find an experienced gunsmith to do it. Just that I will take longer...

    Airline lost my firearm

    The problem is domestic airport design in the USA. In some other countries and in the international section of USA airports, the baggage claim is within the passenger restricted zone. So random strangers can't walk into the airport and steal luggage. Passengers can steal other people's...

    Appleseed questions

    1. Is kneeling an alternative to sitting as a shooting position? I'm just curious because kneeling would seem to be faster to get into than sitting, and more manoeuvrable after. 2. Everything I have heard about it (the techical aspects) sounds to be derived from that two part rifle...

    Shipping loaded ammo info needed

    1. You can just write ORM-D you don't need a nice sticker. 2. If you want a nice sticker the UPS customer center will have one, unless you get them to pickup instead. 3. "ORM-D" would be enough, don't need "ORM-D small arms cartridge". 4. UPS over fedex.

    Help choosing gunsmith screwdrivers

    I have the brownells and they still aren't perfect. As the picture above shows, they get wider too quickly for me and so the only contact edges are at the wider parts. Why can't anybody make a screwdriver which stays fixed width a little longer so it fits screws perfectly? Yes it's a little...

    Shill bidders on GunBroker.com

    This makes utterly no sense. 1. Seller does not know your max bid. 2. Ebay automatically puts in the next minimum bid no matter how high the other bidder bid. So even if the bidder bid $5000 the number ebay is showing is the $42.77 3. The minimum incremental bid for something that's $40+ is not...

    The Bush Administration's Support for Gun Control

    Voting someone who supports the Bill of rights > voting someone because he doesn't have a D behind his name. There's no guarantee a Democrat president (ok maybe Hillary) will pass a gun control bill, just like there's no guarantee a Republican president will not pass a gun control bill, or...

    NRA sides against Real ID (national ID)

    Erm.. so why didn't the officer arrest the guy for trepassing and destruction of property? I'm not sure the officer acted correctly, do you know whether he let the guy go only because he thought the perp was an illegal alien? Or he let him go because he didn't think the crime was serious enough...
