I have an SLP Mark One that just recently developed some problems with the magazine tube. Rounds don't seem to go into the tube smoothly, I can't quite get the eighth (2 3/4") shell into the tube - it goes in up to the rim but no farther - and rounds do not feed from the tube. Rounds extract...

The girlfriend bought two XDs in february - a 9mm xdm and a stainless .45 ACP 5". The non-stainless parts of both guns seem exceptionally prone to surface rust, for some reason - as much or more than some blued guns - which surprised me. The Melonite coating is supposed to be far more rust...

Anyone use eezox to lube a black-t coated handgun? Eezox ok on the finish, or should I stick to fp-10/break-free?

Who's put a lot of rounds through there Saiga .308? How's it holding up? How's accuracy, aftermarket mags? I could kick myself for not picking one of these up when they were going for 200-250 bucks instead of five.

I have a few aluminum framed pistols. One (a Bersa thunder) has some scratches in the feed ramp from hollowpoint bullets. I thought copper was softer than aluminum? I wonder about brass jacketed or nickel cased ammo like golden sabres or hydra-shoks. Are they harder on feed ramps? Does...

OK the girlfriend wants a new .38 or .357 (she'll just shoot .38 from it) revolver. Torn between an all steel Carter Arms undercover or a Ruger SP 101. I don't want to think for myself if I have a forum full of more knowledgeable people to do it for me, so tell me which gun to get her...

I like standard pressure 230 grain .45 ammo for everything except short barreled pistols. I don't know much about bullet shape (What does "ogive" mean - never mind) and I don't care as much about terminal performance as I do about reliability, though I want something that will expand, instead of...

Just got a new, basic pancake holster from here: http://www.lobogunleather.com/home Great quality holster, reasonably priced and a nice guy to do business with.

My girlfriend wants a side-by-side double barreled shotgun, with external hammers, because she thinks they are cool. (I believe she was inspired by a climactic scene from 'Legends of the Fall' where Anthony Hopkins uses one, despite a disabling stroke, to defend his family.) We're on kind of...

I had a shotgun and two rifles stolen from me during a break-in August 2008. Last February a man tried to pawn one of those rifles, and got arrested. He has an alibi for the day of the actual burglary, and he claimed to have bought the rifle from some other guy, who was questioned but never...

Anyone have experience with a high noon "skinguard" holster, or any of their synthetics? Any experiences, good or bad with Mernickles high ride holsters. Do they allow the gun to tilt away or tip out at all because of the high ride?

Considering a DPMS LR-308L, with an eighteen inch lightweight barrel. The company's product description says it's designed for "quick handling and single-shot accuracy." I like the relatively light weight of the rifle, but I'm concerned that the trade off for less weight will be a thin barrel...

I was recently taken to task for hijacking a thread by quibbling over the term 'civilian' and pretty well put in my place by no less an authority than Merriam-Webster:o. So I won't hijack anymore threads, and sure I'll accept that the dictionary reflects what is now common usage. Also I'll...

Anyone have an opinion, good or bad, of the Taurus 92 or Taurus 58? Worthwhile purchases or should I just save up more for Berettas? Never liked the triggers on any Taurus revolvers or striker fired pistols that I've handled, but I dry fired a blued model 58 at the pawn shop recently and...

The girlfriend and I recently bought matching Bersa .380 two tone pistols, just in time to sit around wishing there was .380 to shoot through them. Our range had one box of MagTech premium hollowpoint .380+p ammo. This ammunition did not feed well through the pistol, and now there are a couple...

Anyone own or use a Schrade large machete? Opinions? Is this a quality tool or junk?

Anyone have any experience with this thing? Good or bad? http://www.atlantacutlery.com/p-1323-windlass-cobra-steel-kindjal.aspx

Anyone ever had to use a knife or other non-gun for self defense? How'd it work out for you? The closest I ever came was years ago, back in my "anti-gun" days. I carried a Spyderco Co-Pilot as a money clip/utility knife. Late at night, walking out of a bar in Greensboro, I noticed my date's...

I've found very few companies that offer to hard chrome (or any other coating/finish) the bore of a firearm. What are the dangers/drawbacks to aftermarket chroming a barrel bore? Will it affect accuracy? Decrease bore diameter enought to cause eexcessive pressure when firing the weapon?
