    Marlin 81 Trigger Pull

    I have an 81 with an AWFUL trigger, which I'd like to lighten up. Is there a manual online with drawings of this rifle? Does anyone have advice on doing it? Limited searches haven't turned up much. Thanks, Wilson

    Bolt Action or a Semi for Hunting?

    I know we are all careful and never slip up, but the bolt action is very safe once fired. The semi is hot and ready. Yes, I have seen, twice, experienced competent people shoot a semi and then proceed if it were a stick. One walked off leaving it on a table and one carried it to a car. The...

    Low recoil defense loads for the .308

    I have near zero qualifications to discuss this, but do have some shooting experience. Are you talking about a home situation? Do you have neighbors? I'd hate to release anything at 2500-3000 ft/sec where there are other people. I'd consider it negligent, in fact. How about the technology...

    A little Wal-Mart tip...

    I was in my local shop today. A 91/30 was $200 and an SKS 275. Both are way more than what i'm seeing on the site and in mail order. It's a beautiful enormous store with at least six people working there. Besides guns they have fishing, archery, clothes, dog supplies, and safes. Lots of it...

    9mm Rifle Questions

    OK, thanks, keep 'em coming. I'll look at the Marlin. I don't give a rat's *ss what people think, but I don't want to listen to whining from you know who about exposing grandkids to "assault" weapons. They don't understand that my 700 is far superior to any AK, except for spraying lead...

    9mm Rifle Questions

    Been away from shooting a long time, trying to get back. Is there a 9mm rifle that doesn't look "military"? I like the cheap ammo but do not want to attract attention with assaulty looking hardware. Wilson

    New Surplus Shooter

    OK, I'm soaking this all up. Thanks for the noise warning on the M-N carbines. That's a factor around wives and neighbors! So how does the noise from the SKS compare to the long M-N guns? Is there a longer gun in 7.62X39 that is less loud than the SKS? If anyone in central NC is...

    New Surplus Shooter

    OK, thanks for the help so far. I have no real historical interest, just shooting cheap. The Mosins look good and ammo is fairly cheap, even though I'm sure I haven't found the best sources. I've read about 10 cent rounds, but haven't seen them yet. It's pretty clear that the cost of ammo...

    New Surplus Shooter

    I'm hoping someone will save me some time with some advice/links. I've gotten interested in some casual larger rifle shooting and have seen several posts about Moisin Nagants. There are lots of sources for them. Is there any other rifle about the same? This is back yard shooting for fun...

    Walther Sportmodel

    I posted some pictures in the thread on these, Nazi in title. There were several questions about sights. Does anyone have a bolt for this rifle lying around? I know it's a long shot, but I'd like to have a working safety and mine is broken. Good shooting .22! Thanks, Wilson

    High Capacity Shotgun Mags

    Back in the roaring '80s I saw Mossbergs with drum mags in pawnshops in Houston. Then a few years later I was told they were on the destructive device list and therefor not practical to mess with. Since finding this site I have seen a couple of threads indicating the round mag and a 10 round...

    Walther .22 Single-Shot Nazi Rifle

    I didn't know about the five file limit until I was sending. Here are the last two. W

    Walther .22 Single-Shot Nazi Rifle

    New here. I have an old German .22, first gun I bought as a kid. The safety is broken and it has a hair trigger. I'm thinking of getting rid of it or fixing it, so in a quiet moment I did a search and came up here. I never looked at the markings, except for Walther. The pawn shop told me...
