    Handgun barrel rifling

    Recently purchased a Ruger KP944 in excellent physical condition,but have one concern. When cleaning it,the rifling in the barrel is not what I would call "sharp" on the edges of the rifling,and it looks as if there are "grainy" streaks the entire length of the rifling.It appears to me that the...

    Recoil pads

    Over the weekend I picked up a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and this thing has terrible recoil even using 2 3/4" shells-I'm sure it has alot to do with the OEM solid rubber recoil pad. This is in comparison to my dad's 870 Wingmaster that has the original Remington recoil pad. My shoulder is killing me...

So...I dropped by Gander mountain since the guys there said they get used guns in from time to time. Looked in the case,and to my suprise was a nice looking KP944 staring back at me...

I've printed off the "getting started guide" here and will be picking up some...

    Monarch ammuntion from Academy

    I'm sure you guys have seen the ammo from Academy that's pretty cheap-sold under the "Monarch" brand name. I picked up 250 rounds of the steel cased 9mm and 200 rounds of the brass cased 9mm to see if it was any good. The steel cased ammo is marked "Made in Russia",and is coated in a green...

    Maybe buying a used Mosin-Nagant M44

    What should I be looking for in a used or "refinished" M44? I saw a few of them at a gun show and they all looked great externally,but I'm unsure of what to look for on the mechanicals to make sure I get a good, reliable, useable unit. Thanks, JL

    First box of rounds through the P89

    Finally got around to running a box of ammo through my P89 today. I picked it up about 2 weeks ago from a local gun shop-very "low mileage" gun in mint condition. Paid right at $400 for the gun, 3 mags(2-15 round mags and a single "Bill Clinton" 10 round mag), a set of Hogue grips and a box of...
