    Cut and Crown Marlin 336

    How much should I expect to pay to have 3 in taken off a Marlin 336 (and done correctly)? Anything in particular I should be concerned about?

    Bushnell 3-9 .... how many models?

    I bought a rifle with a Bushnell 3-9 scope that has no markings. How can I determine (since I'm not familiar with Bushnell) what scope it is? Thanks!

    Winchester 37, bad shape

    I've acquired a Winchester Model 37 break-open single shot 20 ga from the 50s. It has been in my extended family and while I was pleased to get it, I was disappointed that it has been neglected for many years. I think it is mechanically fine and was in good condition when stuck in a closet for...

    Savage 64 .22 question

    Does the Savage 64 use the same 10 rd magazine as the Mark II? Also, is there any aftermarket higher capacity mag for the 64? Thanks!

    .30 M1 Ballistics

    I've been searching for .30 M1 long range ballistics at say, 450 yards. Seems to me the drop would be extreme at that range, but I can't find any data. Any sources?

    Source on blade care/restoration

    I'm looking for a good how-to on not just maintenance, but some restoration in bringing blades back that have been abused and sharpening. Obviously I'm not a knife expert - looking for more of a "fixing up old knives for dummies" (not that the knives are for dummies.... you know what I mean)...

    The bomb in times square

    I know this isn't specifically about firearms, but I wonder if in most places, had a car been stopped with that stuff in it, would there have been an arrest or detention? Assume the plates were legal.

    A bs claim on 7.62x39 ballistics

    You won't believe this. On a non-gun related forum, some nimrod has posted that his AK (with its Bulgarian 7.62x39 ammo) kicks up dirt at 600-700 yards within a foot of where his 7mm Mag kicks it up. The only way an x 39 will shoot 600 yards is if you run 400 then shoot :). So I'm looking for...

    What TWO calibers would you choose if you could only have two?

    This is a much better question than which one because there is no one and there is also no-one who would only have one. I'll even make it centerfire and assume .22 LR doesn't count toward the two. Since I won't be hunting big bears or moose, and since I don't like long shots and I do like...

    Who makes a compact long eye relief scope?

    This is for a project rifle. It is a Remington 760 in .35 Rem with barrel cut to 18 in and a carbon fiber stock and slide. The application is dense woods whitetail hunting and weight is important. I once saw an old Weaver shotgun scope, 2.5 power, about 8-9 inches long and 8 oz and very long eye...

    Early .22 rimfire rifles - history

    I'm looking for what were the first .22 rifles made, by whom, their operation, magazines etc. Anyone got a link for anything like that?

    Soldier shoots self with own weapon

    I happened upon an account recently of a US soldier I have some distant connection to being killed in Kuwait in 2002. I thought hmmm, there was no fighting. I dug further and found a story that he had shot himself with his own weapon and an investigation is underway. So those of you who have...

    Remington Five .22

    I hear about these at under 200 but the best price I've seen is well over that. The only one under 200 is the youth model which I find attractive because of the 16.5in barrel. Except for the stock, is the youth the same otherwise? Sights for example?

    Marlin 60 Stainless - stocks

    Isn't there a stainless 60 with a synthetic stock? I've seen the laminated walnut stock. Are they both still available and are prices the same? Is there a weight difference? I like the look of the laminate but perhaps the synthetic is better for what is to be a utility/all weather/ barn rifle.

    Cut and crown a barrel - how much $$ ?

    What should one expect to pay for a competent cut and crown, 22 in down to 18in? Are there any downsides or dangers in doing this?

    Laser pistol for practice?

    I'd like to practice point shooting indoors and don't care for airsoft. I have practices basic pointing with a laser pointer, and I wonder if there isn't a dummy pistol with a laser built in? If not I was thinking of making one with a toy (or the airsoft I never use, with a pointer. Easier said...

    A very speculative scenario:

    Let's say you had to spend a year alone out in the woods. Let's say it is southern Appalachia like NC/TN so no extreme cold. And let's also say you'll be provided with some basic gear like a tent, knives, a few cookware pieces, matches, clothes for all seasons etc. Assume there is plenty of...

    Bolt in .250-3000?

    In another thread recently there was mention that someone is planning to offer their bolt action rifle in .250-3000. Anyone remember who that was? I would like to get a .250 in something other than Savage 99 and all I've seen is a too pricey custom Remington Seven.

    CZ 527 action length

    What other cartridges could this action be chambered for? The .223 case is 1.76 inches. The x39 and 6.5 Grendel are both shorter. Can it handle a longer cartridge? One that comes to mind is the .250 Savage where case length is 1.91. Wouldn't that be sweet in a CZ carbine?

    .22LR ammo - Federal 510

    I read on here recently that this stuff had really gone up in price. Too bad since all my .22s love it. So today in Walmart I looked and it was still 1.47 a box. I took the last 10 they had. Is this what it sells for everywhere or did I read a post wrong? I'm going to buy up all I can at that price.
