New to sporting clays. About ready to buy a Beretta Silver Pigeon 12 gauge sporting O/U. The question is 30 or 32 inch barrels. I’m 6’0”. What would you recommend? Kind of leaning to 30 for some reason.

My apologies if this has been posted, but this recent NY Times editorial on guns in national parks is some kind of dumb. I have my criticisms of Pres. Bush, but this rule change is a good move by him. The Times boys may not feel safer, but that is not the goal of the law. I feel safer...

I plan to buy an M1 carbine soon. Comes w/o mag. Any good suggestions for reliable magazines? Prefer quality over cheap. Willing to pay to get good ones. Thanks for any help.

I'm thinking of putting in an order for some M1 carbine .30 caliber ammo from CMP. They offer two choices: 1) Wolf .30 carbine, 110 grain, FMJ, copper jacketed, steel case, non-corrosive, Berdan primed. 1000 rds per case. $190.00 plus $17.62 S&H per case 2) Aquila .30...

I bought a Liberty safe with manual dial in 2005. We are in and out of the safe a lot, so after a year or so we had the Liberty dealer install a Sargent and Greenleaf (S&G) electronic keypad lock for the convenience. Now and then it would buzz (but not open) after we entered the code, but...

I think I want one, but I know little about them. I have a Garand, Cooper, AR-15, Colt 1911, SKS, Ruger pistols and rifles, etc., etc., but I don't know much about western-style lever action rifles except that I suddenly desire one. Always looking to branch out. The Winchester Model 92...

With Christmas coming, I have a chance at actually getting one. My rifle is a Bushmaster M4 AR-15 .223. I shoot it at the range at 50 yds to 400 yds, but just for kicks. No competition. I mainly keep the rifle in the corner at home in case SHTF in my suburban 'hood. Any of you guys...

Just acquired a Cowan benchrest for my Cooper Classic .22 rifle and now need a set of bags for the rest. Has anyone got any recommendations for bags that will work well/best with the Classic's stock? I don't want the front bag to be loose, so as to avoid the rifle canting...

Pardon me if this has been posted before, but it is very helpful and I had not seen it before. 6:15 total time. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, this video is worth a million. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-q-SOovpqA

I'm getting a Cowan rest and own a Cooper rifle, so I figured it was time to begin looking at better bags. I noticed good comments on the benchrest.com forums about SEB bags, and they look awesome and slicky, so that you don't need powder and such. http://www.sebcoax.com/product.asp The...

I notice that soldiers in pics often hold their rifles/carbines with sling around neck (or sometimes w/o sling), with barrel pointed down to the left, with right hand on grip, with right wrist in what looks to be a somewhat severe-looking downward angle. I've never had any training on the...

For you Ruger Mark II and Mark III and 22/45 lovers, this pistol-specific board is back up and running under a new name. It is now at http://www.mkiii.org/forum/ I was a big fan of it when I was shopping for my last Ruger .22, red dot, aftermarket parts, etc. I missed it during its...

I have a Bushmaster AR-15 (love it) and was carrying it the other day when I looked at it at wondered why such a light, simple rifle costs so much. The patent has expired, so no licensing fees to Colt. I thought about the many other guns that cost so much less and seem to be as complex...

Just got my first Garand. The CMP manual says to use grease (not oil) on certain parts. Any suggestions on what kind of grease? Will regular old bearing "grease gun" grease do, or is there a gun-specific grease that I should look for? Thanks

A friend has a nice Arisaka bayonet and scabbard that has been sitting around about 50+ years at his dad's house (in the scabbard). His dad is a WWII vet who brought it back. It looks like the bayonet and the scabbard have a coats of hardened cosmoline, my guess anyway. The coating looks like...
