    Talk me out of a S&W 22A

    My local shop has them on sale for $199 for the 5.5" blue barrel. I think that is a great price these days. Should I get one now or get a Ruger later? I have already bought 2 other guns this month so I should wait but maybe not. I have searched and can't really find anything bad about the...

    Help me with my 540X

    I want an accurate rimfire range riffle that I can shoot from 50-100 yards. I think I want to add a scope to my 540X (government issue) rifle shown below. The first question I have is should I do this? I don’t think they are terribly valuable but I wonder if I should modify it (it is in pristine...

    You never know... (my story)

    Thanks for all of the kind responses but like I said, I don't feel like I could have done anything differently. I think my point is that I was a bit skeptical he was a bad guy at first, until I talked to him and realized he was "off." I should have clarified too that I think the cops were...

    You never know... (my story)

    After reading some of the stories here I remembered that I had one that may qualify as interesting. Sorry if it is long. This happened a few years back. My family lived in a nice neighborhood in a nice community. We knew our neighbors as acquaintances- you know, “hey, how you doing?” Our...

    .22LR ammo decision

    I bought some Winchester bulk packs at Walmart for less than $13 for 500. Comes to about $.026 per round and so far they are great. I bought 1500 rounds and need to go back for some more.

    Going to Israel, anything I can carry, edged or otherwise?

    I can tell you if you fly El Al (the state airline) into Israel, you have a better chance of seeing God than you do of taking a weapon (of any sort). I was given the "special" treatment for about 30 minutes during the security check. For what it is worth, I felt very safe the week that I was...

    Need advice on 870 repair!

    I have a 1970's police model wingmaster that was handed down to me but it has a problem. The leaf-spring in the receiver (Shell Latch, Right, #102315) that keeps the shell in the magazine malfunctions occasionally and will not load the next shell. I fiddled with it but can't get it fixed. The...

    Lorcin L 380 Folks Where are U

    I have one that I actually shot at the range this weekend for the first time in 10 years. Of course I waited until there was no one else around:D I bought mine when I was a poor college student and didn't know any better. I only shot a few rounds because I was saving my ammo for my new LCP...

    Opinions on Laser Engraving

    This would be more for theft reasons. I have owned guns for 20+ years.

    Denied a Job Because of Interest in Firearms

    Unfortunately hobbies or even your "views on the government" are not protected from discrimination. Some employers are discriminating based on weight and tobacco use. It doesn't make it right but many people don't get jobs for something as minor as a "bad vibe." As a manager I do support a...

    Opinions on Laser Engraving

    I have access to a CNC laser engraver and am considering engraving some of my guns. First, the technnical.. It will engrave metal or plastic from microns deep to several thousandths of an inch. The resolution is incredible so it can engrave down to the barely visible level. Now, my...

    Alabama Members Concerning SBR's/SBS's

    As an Alabama resident I'm surprised I was not aware of this restriction. Good luck with the letter but in this day of fearmongering I doubt anyone in the legislature will go to bat for something as "evil" as a "sawed off shotgun". You never know though, the legislature is slated to raise...

    Help me decide what to do with my 870

    Thanks for the advice everyone. As far as cleaning goes I am religious about it. That's why it pains me to have any rust on one of my guns. I will probably go with my original idea of coating the gun and using it for hunting. I am a bit surprised for the lack of love for the Mossbergs as...

    Help me decide what to do with my 870

    So I started duck hunting last season and I used my trusty 870 express because that is what I had. The last time I went it was raining sideways before we left the field and by the time we got somewhere dry my gun was already rusting. Not really surprising knowing the reputation of the express...
