I have an elderly gentleman friend (around 65) that is looking for a home (apt. actually) defense weapon. He is definitely not a gun guy. I doubt that he has ever shot a gun and if he has it was a very long time ago. He is asking me for advice on what to get and I was originally thinking...

I use the Spyderco Sharpmaker. As long as I can get my Benchmade sharp enough to shave hairs off of my arm, I am satisfied. The sharpmaker does this just fine.

Wow, that's a lot of info. Helpful though. Thanks.

No, just the 336 is. I took it off to disassemble/clean the gun and didn't put it back on yet.

This is what it means.

A friend of mine had some guns that were left in a safe that had some water in it. Of course, the guns suffered somewhat. He gave them to me. I would like to either trade them or sell them but I really don't know what they would be worth. The top gun is a Franchi Veloce. The barrels are...

I agree with your point except for the fact that the gun show is a primary place for someone to be handling a weapon. They just don't stay holstered in a place like that. Everyone is trying on a new holster, seeing if the new mags fit, showing it to a dealer, etc. The gun show is about the...

Yeah, having it checked out is probably the best option if I am going to shoot it. I really don't want to spend a bunch just to have a paperweight though.

I recently was given this Smith and Wesson. It had been left in a safe that had water in it due to a flood. It was in a leather holster and there was the resulting rust. The internal part of the cylinder and the bore seem to be in good condition. Can I shoot this? A friend wants to use it...

Acetone, that's the key, lots of acetone.:D

I got the acetone and ATF together tonight and am working on the guns. So far, I have managed to free 2 of them and there are 2 more to go. We will see. So far, it seems to be working.

That's really helpful. Thanks.

What will the tranny fluid do that a motor oil or a penetrating oil will not do? I want to know what I should do but I also need to know why I should do it.

I have a couple of rifles and shotguns that I recently had given to me. They were in safe that had been in a flood. They forgot to clean the safe out. So now, the guns all have surface rust on them and most of them are stuck - as in the semi auto shotguns cannot be checked or cleared, the...

I had one in my yard a few days ago. I also have chickens and didn't want the two getting together. I set out the trap and then a little while later I shined my light over to that area and saw the possum walking around it. I shined my light again a little while later and saw the two eyes in...

I just got the Fenix PD-30 and am quite pleased with it. It is slim enough for pocket carry but puts out 257 lumens (rated anyway) for a couple of hours. I also use the dim feature a lot. I like it that I can either have it on high on the first click or on dim for the first click. I also...

I carry the Walther P99c. There is always one in the chamber and it is always decocked when I carry it. The reason is not because I think that it will go off accidentally (although that might be somewhat of a secondary concern - whether valid or not) but because I want that first shot to be...

Depending on what kind of brush you are clearing, I would take a serious look at a folding saw. I used one the other day to trim back some brush and it is a serious cutting machine. I keep one in my truck and you can make short work of anything 6" and under. For building a blind or shelter, I...

There seems to be 2 main camps. I am sure someone will correct me if there are more. By toy guns I am referring to things like the nerf guns or pop guns. First, you teach your kids that all guns are "real" and "loaded." Thus, it is inappropriate to point even toy guns at other people...

You know, before I read the body of your post and had just read the title, I thought "30-30 lever action." Actually, I was thinking of my own model 94 but I didn't dare to get my hopes up that high. Good choice.
