    Clean up silver solder?

    I am having a bit of a problem. I had someone help me with my VZ58 build. They pushed in the barrel for me and silver soldered the flash suppressor. Unfortunately the silver solder job was a bit sloppy. There is lot's of texture and detail at that part of the rifle. What is the best way to cleam...

    Why not flick cylinder closed?

    I am inexperienced with revolvers so maybe you can forgive my ignorance. I would like to know why it is bad to flick a revolver cylinder closed. I must admit I am guilty of doing this to the SW 617 before I'd heard it was ad for the revolver. SO I certainly hope someone can satisfy curiosity as...

    Hello all, I am a pistol and rifle shooter of the smokeless type. Lately though I have had a craving for a kentucky long rifle as I really appreciate the history of it. I have also really enjoyed the show a BP rifle puts on the few times I have shot them. I am wondering where I can find a...

    Most beautiful shotgun

    Some time back I posted a thread asking for pictures of people opinions on the most beautiful pistol. It received a good response. Today I thought that since I consider the shotgun to be the best canvas for firearms artistry there should be a most beautiful shotgun thread. So here it is...

    Commodity prices headed down (cheaper ammo?)

    This is just me parroting the news but it turns out commodity prices such as metals (think brass and lead) are headed down since the financial crisis has not been US contained. This also means foreign currencies might be weakening in relation to the dollar. Also, growth in Asia seems to be...

    What is Pre '64

    I am always seeing mentions of Winchester riles being pre '64 or not, and it seems pre 1964 is much more valuable. Can somebody tell me the story on this? What happened at Winchester in 1964?

    No evil black rifles in Littleton, CO?

    I was looking at a Sportsman's Warehouse coupon book and there was one for $50 off an AR carbine, I don't recall the brand. But in small print next to it was the words "Not available in California or Littleton, CO" Now as you probably recall Littleton is the town on the Columbine High School...

    When did this new XD debut???

    I just checked the springfield armory site and was immediately treated to an intro to something called the XD(M). I was quite confused. It seems they have done a few things like adding a new loaded chamber indicator, improving the trigger reset, no need to pull trigger to disassemble, new...

    Campus Carry -- Missouri

    Does anybody know what the laws are for carry in Missouri? Is it just a campus that prohibits it or is it state law. If carrying on a college campus, will you be asked to leave or arrested?

    Most beautiful auto

    I have seen a number o graceful semi autos out there and I would like your opinions (with pictures of course) of what you like. I am thinking of some of the older berettas or the Sig p210. Include 1911's if you feel like it, I do not deny their timeless aesthetics but we have all seen a lot of...

    New to revolvers.

    I've been looking for a new carry gun of a small size. I currently carry a CZ75 and while I like it, it is a hefty chunk of metal. The only compact autoloader out there that has got my attention is the M&P series but they do not have thumb safeties. I have been thinking that the DA of a revolver...

    Kahr PM40 problems

    I have a bud who is not a member of this forum so I'm posting for him. He owns a PM40 that he loves in terms of comfort and how it shoots but it is having reliability issues. Early on it started failing to chamber the second round. After the slide was racked it would fire the rest of the rounds...

    Uma Thurman interview

    No, really it is firearm related. I was watching the tv guide channel the other day looking for something to watch and there was an interview with Uma Thurman about a movie of hers. In it she is a survivor of a highschool shooting, it's about the lasting trauma of the event. That is a very...

    .40sw vs. .45acp question

    I'm not looking for speculation or who like what calliber better. What I am trying to find is hard data on muzzle energy of a .45acp vs. a .40sw out of a 3.5" barrel. Recoil has never been a problem for me so I'm not worried about it. I hope someone out there knows where I can find this data!

    M&Pc question

    Does anybody know if the M&P compacts will be getting the thumb safety option? I would love to have a 40S&W compact seeing as how the M&P fits me great. I know there are plenty of people out there who carry glocks an M&P's without problem but I won't go without a manual safety.

    How good is my knife?

    I recently bought a knife at a Sportsman's Warehouse for about $48 on clearance. My old gerber was just too cheap, and while it was cool when I got it at age 13 I have realized that it is a non performer. So I asked the guy behind the counter what he would recommend, he seemed knowledgeable and...
