    Rust on my garand

    So... I recently purchased a garand from AIM advertised as excellent wood and metal condition. I got the gun yesterday, and it looked great. I did noticed that some minor parts looked reparked, but that's ok. The stock looks brand new so I think it must have been replaced. Today, I noticed...

    Selling rifle to South Carolina resident

    Hmmm, I happened to have sold a K-31 to a resident in South Carolina. Interestingly, I received a letter with the funds and copy of FFL that states that I must send a copy of my FFL or a copy of my driver's license. The letter also states that it is South Carolina law. I don't know much about...

    Fun Rifle for under $500

    So my coworker is looking for a fun rifle to plink and hunt with in the boonies. His budget is $500. It seems he wants a semi-automatic, center-fire rifle. He's already got a poodleshooter. I think he's leaning towards getting a tactical-like rifle such as an AR. He prefers American arms...

    What can I get in 38 special?

    About 2 hours ago, I just received about 200+ lbs. of reloading equipment. A quick look at all that junk revealed that there are about 3000-4000 .38 special brass (I'm not kidding) and about that many in bullets... Now I'm sitting in front of my computer, sipping green tea, waiting for my back...

    200 lbs. of Reloading Equipment...

    About 2 hours ago, a coworker gave me all of his reloading equipment. It turns out that his girlfriend was moving in and he needed the storage space. So... Now I have 200+ lbs. of backbreaking, old reloading equipment (filled most of my truck bed.) Most of it is brass, bullets and blocks...

    Slide interchangability

    I'll get right to the point: Is it okay to swap the slides between the Sig P220 and P220 Carry? I've got a P220 ST. I thought it would be interesting to buy a P220 Carry in two-tone and then swap the slides. Then I'd have a P220 ST Carry and a P220 in two-tone. :D Whatcha think?

    Ruger GP-100 or S&W 686

    So if you had a choice and price isn't an issue, would you pick the Ruger GP-100 or the S&W 686? And why? I want to use this revolver as a range gun, and outdoors use. And possibly for HD. Comments, pictures and discussions are welcome. :D

    Looking for light .22 rifle

    As the subject says, I'm looking for a light .22 rifle to "rough it" in the wilderness for a week. Basically some kind of test of manhood or some such. I won't be alone, but the plan is to hike to some remote location where the benefits of running water and toiletries are a luxury...

    XS Sights: Good or bad?

    I have trijicons on my carry pistol, and while they're good, I think they can be better. I've been scoping out various sights to stick on my carry pistol and I stumbled across these sights: http://www.xssights.com/store/handgun.html Also, before anyone assumes they'll be inaccurate, I...

    Marks on slide serrations on Sig

    I recently bought a sig p220 in SS. The gun shoots great. I noticed that in the slide serrations grooves, there are cuts parallel to the serrations. It looks like machine marks since they are of even thickness and depth although the spacing is not consistent. They're deep enough that I...

    Has anyone tried/prefers/dislikes the other combinations besides the common green/green color for their night sights? I'm okay with the all green config, but I'd like to try something else.

    Price on used s&w 629

    My good friend has expressed some interest in purchasing my s&w 629-6.5. I guess he wants to be able to shoot through a car to hit the bad guys. :what: (We both live in dangerous neighborhoods.) It's barely used with no scratches or blemishes. It has the integral lock. Comes with original...

    Double shot?

    Heya, long time lurker here. I finally had to come out from my hole to ask a question. Basically, several friends and I went to the range yesterday on New Year's Eve to shot some guns. I brought along my S&W 44 mag (among other things.) Everything was going fine, until my friend put a...
