    Ever gotten Gun Scrubber on your syntho stock?

    I am really surprised to hear of this. I have never used Gunscrubber but I do use Brake cleaner from the auto parts stores and I have been told it is the same thing. I blast everything with it, Glocks,Remington shotguns with synthetic stocks,etc and it has never harmed anything. Maybe it is...

    shortening barrels

    I do not believe a barrel can be threaded for remchokes but they can be threaded to accept other readily available chokes. Any competent gunsmith can cut the barrel and thread it to accept chokes. It should be cheaper than a new barrel and that old 30" will be more versatile.

    Limb Saver Recoil Pad - a quick subjective review (pics)

    I have a synthetic stocked 22" bbl Beretta 390 that I use for turkey hunting. With the 3" magnum turkey loads with an extra full turkey choke AND the little plastic Beretta recoil pad it was brutal. It wanted to jump out of my hands and smack my shoulder. I Installed a prefit Simms Limbsaver...

    Beretta 390 Standard - Price Inquiry

    Yes, I would say that is a good price. I bought a 390 with synthetic stock at Wal-Mart two years ago for $499. I have shot mine a good bit and was lucky enough to find a take off short turkey barrel for mine. It always goes off and I have had no problems with it. I did add a SVL recoil pad to...

    Handgun Hunting?

    I have not carried a rifle in the last two deer seasons. I have a Contender in 7-30 Waters,One in .41 Mag and a Blackhawk in .41 Mag also. One Contender is scoped, one has a Red Dot and the Blackhawk is open sights. I carry each depending on where and how I plan on hunting that day. I have...

    Advice on pistol lubricant?

    I am a big fan off CLP and most recently FP10 CLP. It works very well on everything. I trust it to keep all my weapons trouble free. I also sent off for a free sample of the Miltech, and shortly after I bought an almost new taurus 85 snub nosed 38 SPL. I thought it was a little stiff so I...

    question about Ithaca barrel

    Before the days of the modern sabot for rifled shotgun barrels, the standard smooth bore shotgun barrels used a rifled slug. We use to call them pumpkin balls. They are still readily available from several manufacturers. The deerslayer was a fancy upgrade to a deer hunting specialty shotgun...

    recovered guns?

    I had a brother-in-law that spent most of his adult life in Law Enforcement. He died at the age of 37 and during his funeral some low life broke into his home and stole two pistols we had not removed. A Colt 45 Auto and a S&W 58 both Nickle and both former duty weapons. we learned from the...

    My quest has begun, Contender time

    I have one, all stainless 14" barrel, scoped, and in 7-30 Waters. Extremely accurate and deadly on deer. I almost never carry a rifle anymore when hunting. I have another all blue, 10" .41 Mag Barrel with red dot scope. Another fun shooter in one of my longtime favorite calibers. I am...

    I finally have a small snub again.

    I also found myself without a .38 snubbie. My wife has a S&W 60 I bought her a bunch of years ago but I did not have one. I had been checking the local pawn shop and the auction boards but by the time I added the $30.00 FFL fee and $25.00 shipping it approached brand new gun prices. I took a...

    Does this AK-47 exist?

    I agree. The Kobra was made for the Ak and works great. If you want all black furniture (or green) it is readily available and inexpensive. There are also aftermarket rails that allow you to use a standard red dot if you really want to go that way.

    Getting a 22 LR Rifle

    I have a 190 also that I have had for 25 years or so. It is very accurate and never jams. It can be a pain to clean but I really don't clean it but maybe every 1000 rounds. I also have everything but the barrel from a 190 that my crazy friend tried to remove the barrel and destroyed the...

    .243: Okay for whitetail deer?

    I have killed over 25 deer with a Ruger 77 243. I use Hornady 100 gr Spirepoints that I handload. I have never used more than one shot and I have never had a deer go out of sight and 85% dropped within 10 yards. I wait for the right shot and shoot them right above the front leg. My friends...

    Any Remington Woodmaster 742 stories?

    My stepson gave me one he took in on a two gun trade. It was in 30-06. It jammed a few times until I bought a new magazine and now I can put 100 rounds thru it without a hitch. I clean it after every extended range trip but not after just a few shots. As far as accuracy I get 3" groups at...

    Mustang Carry

    Thanks but I guess what I want to know is will a blow to the hammer cause it to fire with the hammer down on a live round?

    Maks need better sights!

    They look good. That is the one big problem with my Russian. I widened the rear notch but cannot do anything with the front. Let us know when you are ready to do this to everyone elses. You could probably quit your day job and just do Maks!;)
