    Do all new 870s have Flexitab?

    As the title says, do all 870s have Flexitab? Looking at an 870 Express w/ 18" barrel. Trying to find a shotgun for my buddy to carry in his patrol car, and they require Flexitab. Thanks in advance.

    Taking the new Stevens 7mm-08 out for a spin this week.

    I was going to take my SKS out whitetail hunting this year, but pops decided that since he had never formally bought me a rifle when I was a young 'un, he wanted to get me a rifle in a caliber he'd heard nothing but good things about: 7mm-08. So after doing a bit of searching, I suggested the...

    Norinco SKS Side Rail Scope Mount... ?

    I got a Norinco SKS a while back and dropped it into a Tapco stock without giving it a second thought. At the time it had a receiver cover with scope mounts, but I replaced that recently with a regular receiver cover. I had a little free time this weekend, so I started refinishing the old nasty...

    Any place to buy a stock SKS receiver cover?

    I purchased a Norinco SKS a couple of months ago, and the previous owner had replaced the receiver cover with the aftermarket kind that has a built-in scope mount. I prefer to use iron sights on the SKS, so I am looking to replace the receiver cover with an original. I have searched the web, to...

    Got my first non-J S&W - Model 681 - Need input on bead blasting

    Hey guys, I got my first non-J frame S&W yesterday, a 681. I was initially hesitant to get such a "late" production S&W (:p) since all of my others are pinned, but the revolver is super tight and in great shape. There is very little crud on the cylinder face. The bore and cylinders are clean...

    Gun in car while traveling in Alabama

    I'm traveling to Alabama today to be in my buddy's wedding, and I did a little reading on gun laws. I was a bit surprised to see that Alabama is a bit whacky in that although you can open carry without a permit, you cannot car carry without a permit. I was kinda surprised, as I expected good ol'...

    Heads Up: S&W Deals at CDNN

    I'm sure many of you get CDNN's emails, but I just checked my mail and found this. Looks like they've got a batch of stainless S&W revolvers in varying conditions, and most available without the IL. Prices are good through Thursday at 7am. By the way, I am in no way affiliated with these guys...

    Almost bought an N-frame today...

    Well, I was perusing some of the local stores today. Stopped in the gun shop where I found my Diamondback, hoping to find a buy. Saw a $700 19-3 and a few $350 Model 10s, but there on the bottom shelf, I saw a lonely 629-4. It was in very good shape and was very tight. It felt pretty good...

    Just Bubba'd my SKS.

    Well, the wifey said absolutely HELL NO to a real AK-47. Maybe a .22, but she's still a little iffy. So what'd I do? I found a Norinco SKS at a decent price (decent for around here, anyway) and bubba'd her up. Until I stumbled upon this one, the only ones I had seen were Yugos for $250 with the...

    Recoil comparison: 38 spl wadcutter vs. 38 S&W?

    Bare with me fellas, got a quick question. My wife loves to shoot our little S&W Model 32, but I am convinced that the .38 S&W LRN is quite impotent as a self-defense round. Furthermore, she will be taking a concealed carry course with me soon and she feels that even the little Model 32 will be...

    Problems/Fixes for WASR-22?

    Ok guys, bear with me. I know the WASR-22 is not a high quality piece (most of the WASR's aren't), but I am thinking about getting one. Why? Well, it's priced within my budget, and ammo is too. Furthermore, the wife wasn't excited about the prospect of having an AK-style rifle PERIOD, so it was...

    New Additions to the Stable! Two Colts and a S&W...

    Well, the past two weeks or so, as I've cleared some old stuff out on Ebay, I decided to reinvest a little into some guns. So I picked up a couple locally and online. Here's the first, which I am absolutely in love with (even though I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet: Colt .357, the...

    Best Way to Get Guns Shining?

    Ok guys, I have searched and searched and everyone seems to have their own methods. I doubt there is a "best" way, but I need to know how you guys keep your nickel and blue handguns shiny. I have heard Flitz, no Flitz, Mother's, all kinds of stuff. I can't find a good way to get blued guns back...

    C&R 50-year Question

    Ok guys, I got my C&R license a couple of weeks back, but I haven't used it to buy anything yet. I am looking at buying a particular handgun manufactured in 1958. There is no way to get a more specific birthdate for it. Serial number puts it there. Anyway, I did not know if C&R rules would...

    So I put a Colt Diamondback on layaway today...

    Well, I was out driving around this morning and decided to check out a couple of shops that I hadn't looked at in a while; one because it never had anything worthwhile, and the other because it was always way overpriced. The first store, as usual, didn't have much, though this time they had a...

    Want another S&W - thinking about these

    Ok, looking for some input on the following revolvers. For the most part these will not be self-defense guns (except maybe occasionally the 637 if I went that route). First one I'm considering is a used 15-3 available at a local pawn shop. The gun is in great shape mechanically, 4" barrel...

    TN Guys, can you clarify car carry?

    Ok, I've done a bit of searching, but I just need to be 100% clear on this. I am a Louisiana resident, going to law school in Mississippi, and I am glad that I can keep my gun loaded in my vehicle when traveling between the two states. I do not have my Louisiana concealed carry permit yet. I...

    Looking for 7mm-08 bolt-action SS

    Hey guys, I know next to nothing about rifles. My first foray may be with a cheap Mosin. Anyway, I am thinking about getting my dad a new deer rifle, as he has been shooting his 30-30 for about 45-50 years (since he was in his teens). He mentioned that if he ever bought another hunting rifle, it...

    Little info needed on S&W Mod. 66

    Hey guys, my dad purchased a S&W Model 66 in the early 70s and it has stayed in its box (in the original paper) ever since. Has not been fired once. In beautiful shape. He cannot remember how much he paid for it or when he bought it. I have done some searching and have read a little bit about...

    Colt Police Positive .38 Special - Worth the trouble?

    Hey guys, I am new to this site and fairly new to guns as a whole. I purchased a Walther P22 a few months ago, and I've been playing around with that. Then I was given a S&W Mod. 32 in .38 S&W that I have not fired yet, and I recently purchased a Mauser 1914 semi-auto .32. My dad has two great...
