A pawn shop in town has one of these for sale. $500 for it, in .45 Colt, with after market "New Orleans pimp" pearl grips and a 4 5/8 inch barrel. I can't find much on these, except they were made in the 60's? (According to a page on Gunblast.) Anyway, is $500 a reasonable amount for it...

As of late, I've had the itch for a single action .357 sporting a 7.5 inch barrel. Looking over Uberti's stuff, they've got a couple brass framed models cheaper than their steel models. Now, I've got a brass framed blackpowder pistol, so I know that brass tends to get messed up shooting full...

For a reasonable price? I'd prefer an actual factory Browning/FN slide. How hard is it to fit yourself, or should I send them to a gunsmith to work over? For the curious; I bought a .40 Hi Power, intending to convert it to 9mm, because the shop owner told me that 9mm Hi Powers would come apart...

I've had the chance recently to acquire a Mauser action converted to a .308 "hunting rifle." I've always wanted to make a semi-custom hunting rifle, do you guys think that'd be a good place to start? I'd rather start with something that's been messed with already than ruin the history myself...

I'm interested in the FNP 45, but I'm wondering how much more recoil is felt in plastic framed .45's than, say, a government 1911?

Are there any real weaknesses? As of late I've been wanting one.

I've seen kits to build these for fairly cheap on the internet, and I've been looking at 9mm carbines. These actually don't look that bad with a 16 inch barrel. I know a Beretta carbine would be more practical, but I'm looking for something more fun. I've got it down between one of these and...

I've pretty much decided on one of the Aimpoint 9000 series, probably the 9000L. Any suggestions for a better suited optic? I intend to put this on my FAL with a DSA mount. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as mounts? Is there one low enough that I could cowitness? How about one...

I was at the pawn shop recently, they've got one of these for 250 bucks. I believe it's an original, it's in pretty rough shape though, the finish seems worn and the grips are missing a chip, and are very dark. So, I ask you guys, what should I look at on this pistol? Also, how strong are...

I'm looking into a CAI sporter at a local store, and I've got a few questions that I can't find answers to on google. First, commercial ammunition. I missed out on stocking up on cheap surplus. I know most rifles intended for 7.62x51 don't like commercial loads, but I've got a stock of 150...

It's a typical .308 Savage with a 20 inch heavy barrel. What type of scope would you suggest? It'll mostly serve as a deer hunting rifle, but I will do some target shooting (1-400 yards at most) for my own enjoyment, so I don't have to have a uber-magnification target scope. I will spend the...

When I'm done with my bolt actions, I usually decock them by working the bolt, then holding the trigger down while I close the bolt, which leaves the firing pin forward. I've been doing this for a while now, as I was told when I was young not to leave the gun cocked, and as always, old...

My Uncle and I have both been wanting Garands for a while. I have a couple questions on both the CMP and the function of a Garand. As I recall, can't ex-military over 60 years old order CMP rifles? I remember reading that somewhere, but I can't remember where. Is it alright to have someone...

Glock 19 KB's. Now with a new question reguarding FNP's. My google-fu is weak when it comes to Glocks. I've only heard of KB's in .40 caliber Glocks. How about Glocks with 9mm +p or +p+? .45 ACP +p? Edit, let me rephrase, I'm pretty sure they'll hold the pressure, but will it wear them out...

I handled one of these the other day at Gander Mountain. It's a sweet pointing little gun, and I like the sights. It also doesn't have those ugly, cheap looking gold birds that every other shotgun now-days has. Does anyone here have one? Does it hold up well? I think it'd work nice as a...

I held one of these today at Gander Mountain, I like the rifle. Nice, balanced rifle, Aparently, it's built on a model 7 action. Any opinions on it, accuracy? Does it stand up to being shot a lot? Also, does anyone know if there is a way to put a 10 round magazine on it? I can't find anything...

http://www.raacfirearms.com/Saiga_308v21.htm It shows up on RAA, but I never see it for sale anywhere. I don't believe it is importable, from the position of the trigger, it seems out of the sporter configuration. Anyone know if it is or isn't importable? If so, where can I order one at...

Is it possible to put a set of back-up irons on a commercial bolt action that doesn't come with them stock, without doing heavy modification? I've always had guns with them on it, I'm a bit paranoid of only having a scope to rely on.

On the market for a .308 bolt gun, I ran across Ruger's rifle. Does anyone have any opinions of it? How accurate is it on average? Just as important, does the laminate and dulled stainless make it stand out badly in the woods? Edited for another question; Is the Target Gray frontier worth...

What range is generally accepted to sight in 7.62x39? Just your regular 100 yards as would one with a .30-30?
