    S&W 36 problem

    Picked up a model 36 for the cheap, $ 200 OTD. Dry fires like a dream. Put rounds in it and there appears to be a problem. Doesn't want to turn the cylinder? Is the timing off? An ideas? IF so is it an easy fix? What would the typical cost to repair, or should I trade it off. Thanks Rick

    But the 11-87 fits so well Dad...

    Thanks to all. I must say that my feelings are that guns are like everything. Buy a car and it may be trouble free or a PIA. Still on the fence about it and will go back for another go round. Will say that the Beretta was a strong second in the comfort scale, but seemed to lack a little in the...

    But the 11-87 fits so well Dad...

    Went out shouldering guns the other day for overall fit and reach. Have been loking for a general purpose 12g 3" off and on for a few months, and have been following all the post here checking dependability and quaility. Hefted Bennellis, Berettas, Winchesters and the dreaded boat anchor...

    Barrel possession question

    I know I could find this out with a little work, but I was wondering if it is against the law to possess a SG barrel less tha the legal lenght if it is not attached to a receiver? Would it just be considered a part and not illegal if not on a gun?

    Old school BOB question

    Was thinking about all this BOB stuff and it got me wondering what a BOB would contain say 100 years ago. A rifle perhaps, knife, axe, and a way to make fire? I'm sure that it wasn't intended for the day the SHTF, but say a trapper running his trap line, or some one off to a high or spike camp...

    bayonet on a shottie

    I know, no need to have one except for the shock value. Can you buy such a mount for my 870 or my 500? If not does anyone have a schematic (SP) for building one? It is my understanding that this would only be allowed on a pump and not a semi. Is this correct?

    any feedback on the Baikal 153

    Went out to pick up my S&W 642 today and took a look at this shotgun. Fit and finished looked ok for a $350 gun and was wondering if anyone out there had one, or a chance to shoot one? Also looked at the Win X-2 and was wondering if it would be better to save my pennies for a step up in...

    the perfect shotgun, is it out there?

    thanks Paul. I was thinking of the Beretta as a first choice. Thought it would fit nicely into all of my needs. I'm sure that any of the old standbys would do the job, and you are right about the one gun theory. I was once told "Learn to shot one well then go from there" sounds like that still...

    I'm calling on all you folks to help me out. Looking for a semi 12g that would meet a a wide range of uses. Upland, turkey, and maybe something that I could use to get started in a shotgun "game" of some sort. I have 2 mossberg 500's and a 870 20g that all do what they were intended to do. Took...
