    Gas blowing back Remington 510

    Iv got a Remington model 510 target master. No telling how many thousands of rounds iv fired through it over the years. The problem is that it is starting to allow gas to blow back past the case and in to my face. I'm really hoping there is some way that I can salvage this rifle. Can anybody...

    Ok folks, What are the pros and cons

    of a internal box vs internal box with hinged floorplate vs removable magazine. I preffer hinged floorplate over standard internal box for obvious reasons. But does a hinged floorplate offer any advantage or dissadvantage over a removable magazine? thanks

    Help needed on finding

    I am looking for a bolt action in either 222/223/22-250. Leaning toward 223 as I already have the equipment to reload it, and I would rarely need a shot at over 300. I would much prefer wood stock although synthetic would work initially, either blued or stainless, internal magazine, drop...

    why are bolt actions more accurate

    Than say a encore or ruger #1? What is it that makes them inherently more accurate on average than the single shots?

    How odd

    I grew up shooting right handed rifles left handed and can operate them just as easily as my right handed counterparts. I went in my lgs yesterday looking for a varmint rifle. They had a mint savage 22-250 on consignment for less than half of its retail. I pick it up and notice it is left...

    What mainstream cartridges

    do you have no interest in? For me it is .243, and until recently the 22-250. Both are fairly common and yet have held no interest for me. Also the entire line of wsm/wssm cartridges. What are yours?

    switching barrels

    How hard is it to switch barrels on Stevens 200 rifles? Are any special tools required? Reason for asking, I can get a stocked action sans barrel for $90. If I can also get a new unfired barrel for $85 I could potentially have the gun for less than $200. But I am no gunsmith and need to know how...

    remington 770 question

    I was under the impression that these were relatively cheap made with synthetic stocks and a detachable magazine, but I am currently looking at a Remington model 770 22-250 that has a wood stock and has an internal magazine (no floorplate, no detachable mag). Are these of the same quality...

    Iron sights: How far can you ethically use them on animals

    Personally, I have been shooting iron my entire life, and actually prefer iron (open and or peep) over scopes, but with that being said, I am only confident with them while hunting out to 100-125 yards. How far are you comfortable with them?

    Whats your genre

    of firearm? I am an anomaly I believe. I am interested in early fur trade (think flintlock rifles) to late 1800's. I have an AR, but would much prefer to shoot my single action revolvers and lever action rifles. My wish list is composed almost entirely of blackpowder hand and long guns, and...
