    Problems with loading a Garand

    I purchased a Garand two summers back. It functioned fine last summer, and I took apart the rifle and oiled and greased it per instructions to put it away for the winter. I took the rifle out shooting for the first time since then and to my surprise it would not load from the enbloc clips. More...

    Replacing P220 takedown lever

    Last year I bought a used W. German P220 that I'm trying to fix up a bit. Strangely enough, the takedown lever is a different type. Its colored silver instead of black, and protrudes slightly on the right side of the gun (the decocker and slide catch are black as normal). Other than that, it...

    Installing night sights on P220

    Hey folks, quick question. I bought a used W. German P220 last summer that came with Trijicon night sights already installed, but these were made in 92 and are very dim.. so I want to replace them. I think I found what I need here, but it says it fits P220 with dovetail. How do I know if...

    How secure is a Gunvault

    I live in an off campus college apartment and I want to keep my handgun here. So I have the basic Gunvault Mini model that I recently bought, along with the security cable. I was wondering just how much protection I can expect from the Gunvault. After buying it I read stories of people being...

    Wiping down a gun after handling?

    Quick cleaning question... I tend to be (overly?) paranoid about rust. I was wondering; should I be wiping down my P220 after handling it, like after a dry fire session? If so, what is the best solution for removing the oil or whatever from fingerprints that might cause rust?

    Quick CMP question (Buying a Carbine next yr)

    Handgun shooting tips for beginners?

    Hey folks, I just got into handgun shooting and I was looking for any tips you could all offer or websites I could look at. As it stands now I probably couldn't hit *anything* I shoot at. I guess a downside I have is that for the time being, I am learning on a .45 sig p220, not the best...

    Buying a Garand... Wait for CMP or use Garand Guy

    Hey folks. If someone was in the market for a Garand, just as a solid, pretty accurate shooter; not interested in collector value, would the best bet be to wait for the CMP rifles to come back in stock, or buy the issue grade or premium grade from Garand Guy? I can't really find any ideas of...

    Building an AR from a kit

    So I've been thinking about using J&T's to order a CAR Kit, but I had a few questions that I wanted to post here and on Ar15.com first. I was looking at the J&T COMPLETE 16” CAR Kit, but the site also lets you modify a lot before you order. I think I want to go stock on everything, but what I...

    Hey folks. I just got a saiga 7.62x39 rifle. Thing is, I would like to be able to use 30 round magazines, but to do so, I need to cut down my foreign parts to 10 for 922r compliance. So my first question is, do any of you folks know where I could get US made 30 round saiga magazines? Second...
