ok, I know I've been asking a lot of dumb questions lately, but I've got plenty more left, so here's one about scope rings ;) Are mil-spec AR15 flat-top uppers picatinny rails or weaver rails? I'm about to buy some scope rings (extra-high 1" rings), and just want to be clear what mounting...

I'm very new to holsters, having gotten into carrying a fullsize M&P .40 in a crossbreed IWB holster. unfortunately, the butt of the gun is a bit too big and I end up printing quite a lot. I decided to try the holster on my weak side, because I like reaching across my body to draw the gun a...

I have a weird problem with my M&P .40. after every couple hundred rounds, the pin located directly above and to the right of the trigger keeps backing out of the right side of the frame :scrutiny:. I've been simply hammering it back in with a pin punch if it gets too far out. Is this a...

I don't buy this caliber often, but I had a bit of a shock today when I opened an email from Midwayusa. seems they have a sale on 7.62x54r surplus ammo....$199 for 880 rounds! the last time I bought some, it was way less than half that price :cuss:. did I miss something, or is the supply...

Ok, this I'm SURE this is a stupid question, but I have no experience with rifle scopes at all. I've been using iron sights my whole life, but lately I've wanted to start getting down into 200yd territory and above, but I can't see anything at that distance with irons. I've heard people say...

I am doing a 45 minute gun safety presentation at my college at the end of March. not wanting to get into that story of the professor calling the cops on a student for a similar presentation, I've already cleared the idea with my professor, and she actually thought it was a great idea. it's a...

I just ordered my first holster - a crossbreed supertuck for my M&P .40 fullsize - and I have some problems! it is actually very comfortable and seems to conceal the gun very well when I'm standing still. the problem is that it sticks out like a sore thumb when I bend over. is this normal, or...

I've been trying to get my fiance interested in shooting for years, but she never really liked guns because she thought they were way too loud and didn't like recoil at all. she did enjoy shooting a .22 pistol though. Today she came in and said out of nowhere "I wanna get a CWP!" Obviously...

looking on these boards, I've discovered that I was born too late, as someone could apparently buy an m1 garand for $300 or less 10 years ago :( how often does the CMP raise it's prices? I understand it's due to dwindling supply, but how often does it really change? the service grades now...

I was just reading in another thread about how the garand has one of the strongest actions out there, but using some types of commercial ammo can damage the operating rod. does this mean that with an adjustable gas port like a schuster you can run ANY commercial 30.06, assuming it's adjusted...

I have heard a couple times about a 'new' springfield garand you can buy. is this the same as the 'special' grade M1 you can get through the CMP with new bore,stock, refinished receiver, etc? or is this something else? also, would you pay the extra for the new versus the 'weathered' versions...

I recently paid off my credit cards, so as a reward, I'm using some of my tax return to get a few rifles that might not be available forever :( One of the rifles is a good finnish M39 Mosin Nagant - I love the way they look and heard they are all excellent shooters. anyway - the best ones I...

Hello everyone - just had a quick question about selling guns face to face. I've heard before that when selling a gun you're not supposed to meet at your house in case the buyer was a criminal who wanted to later rob the place. I also don't feel comfortable meeting at someone else's house...

...Or at least it feels like I did :cuss: I bought my first ever shotgun, a Mossberg 590A1, and shot it for the first time yesterday. Stupid me decided to start off by shooting about 50 rounds of 3" magnum buckshot and 3" slugs. Now my shoulder is battered, bruised, and slightly swollen...

This may sound like a stupid question, but I want to know and I didn't really know where to start. I was at the range today (92 degrees in full sun!) and almost burned myself on the slide of my M&P .40 after only about 50 rounds. anyway, it got me thinking about all these gun lubes that...

The title says it all! I'm a college student and don't have enough funds to fuel this painfully expensive hobby. Guns and ammo are the main reason I now have a lot of credit card debt, and I told myself I will not buy another gun until after I graduate and pay down my debt :uhoh:. I won't...

This may be a stupid question, but are there any other rifles out there that use similar sights as the AR15? I'm joining th Army at the end of the year, and want to get some practice. I'm a crack shot with pistols, but my eyesight makes it difficult for me to shoot rifles with iron sights...

I recently went to install an EGW flat bottomed firing pin stop in my 10mm Dan Wesson Pointman 7 and noticed something off about the old firing pin stop: [/URL][/IMG] this is my first 1911, so I'm not sure if this is supposed to be like this or not. the bottom of the firing pin stop does...

I love using IMR 800x for my 10mm loads. clean burning, VERY powerful, and fairly low pressure. I stopped using it because hand measuring each load was too time consuming. Many of you on this forum can confirm how difficult this stuff meters. :uhoh: However, it's a very good chance that...

I'm thinking about trying militec-1 for my autoloaders because I've heard great things about it's lubrication qualities. unfortunately, I also hear that it sucks at preventing rust. for those that use militec-1...how do you prevent rust? is a quick wipedown with a silicone cloth sufficient to...
