    M1911 for a self defense pistol?

    The truth of the matter is that most modern striker fired designs are, in essence, cocked and locked too. Unlike the 1911 you just can't "see" it so in a sense your still carrying in condition 1 if a round is in the chamber of your plastic fantastic. I think you just feel safer because your...

    Council Bluffs, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska: Make yourselves heard!

    Omaha here as well. Unfortunately unless you want to join the Eastern Ne Gun Club down between Liuousville and Plattsmouth there is not much else available. I've been down there once with a friend that's a member and it's a pretty decent place but, like most "clubs", it has it's little posse of...

    Recommendations for a sub-$500 .30-06?

    I forgot to mention earlier that the Savage 110's have an adjustable trigger that can be tweaked to your liking. The newer Stevens rifles do not have this capability AFAIK but a lot of guys that buy them replace the triggers in them with the old 110 trigger to get the adjustable cpability back...

    Recommendations for a sub-$500 .30-06?

    Hit the pawnshops and look for a Savage 110, these can be found around my neck of the woos all day long for $200-275, often with scopes attatched. Most are very lightly used too.

    Danger's of GP100 trigger job.

    Simply replacing the stock 14 lb mainspring with a Wolf 12 lb and removing any burs from the hammer and sear will get you a really nice SA trigger release with no mis fires, simple as that. The DA pull is another matter entirely and requires smoothing all of the tooling marks out of the trigger...

    From outside the bubble...

    Consider the fact that he SHOWS his obvious bias by referring to the so-called "gun nuts" right off the bat and henceforth there CAN BE NO MIDDLE GROUND with him in the first place, it simply can't exist with an attitude like the one he demonstrates. This whole idea of a "middle ground" is...

    which 1911?

    The new Colt Combat Elite is a really nice gun and can be had for that price. What's it's intened purpose? Do you want flashy or utilitarian? If that latter you can spen less than a grand for one.

    Mossberg Maverick 88

    Early 88's had one action bar but the current one's have 2, just like the 500 does. The forarm and rails on the current production guns are the same except for the differences to accomodate the plastic vs. wood forends. Call Mossberg and they will tell you that these are made in Texas, not...

    Mossberg Maverick 88

    Like I said earlier in this thread the 500 and the 88 are exactly the same gun, except for the furniture and the safety, if you equate quality with wood then the 500 has the edge on the 88.

    Mossberg Maverick 88

    I think it comes down to wether you like wood over plastic and the location of the safety. Other than those two differences the guns are virtually ientical. My dad and I bought one of each last winter at a local pawnshop, he paid $150 for his 500 and I paid $100 for a Maverick 88(mainly...

    Mossberg 500 Question

    With a new shell in the chamber and ready to fire the bolt is locked forward and the hammer is cocked to the rear. This is evidenced by the requirement to push in the button to unlock the works. Once you fire the gun the hammer is forward and the bolt unlocks in the process, rack another round...

    Mossberg 500 Question

    Perfectly normal, mine will unlock the action but the bolt will stay 95% of the way forward after firing.

    30-30 afficionados

    Get a bolt gun in 06or .308 and then a lever gun in 30-30. Everything else in .22 long rifle and you'll have a nice, inexpensive little budget arsenal. I would love to have an AR15 but I don't feel undergunned with my 336 in the least.

    Why do I group like this?

    Try this, shoot a round and then before shooting the next, take a screwdriver and tap the scope with the handle. Take the next shot and then do it again. If the shots suddenly start grouping you have an issue with the scope. On the low end scopes the recoil of the rifle can cause the erector...

    Good Trigger on a semi-auto .22 Plinker(rifle)?

    Semi-auto Marlin=Model 60. or one of the box fed derivatives... The bic pen spring thang works on the Marlin bolt guns but not on the 60, totally different hammer/sear mechanism.

    30-30 loads

    Sorry bout that! Jacketed primarily but anything that works would be nice to know about! Locally I have Hornady, Sierra, Remmington and Winchester bullets available, anything else(Speer mainly) I'd have to order on-line. Where are you guys that are shooting gas checked lead getting your...

    30-30 loads

    I'm trying to decide if I should stick with 150 grain or try 170's in my Marlin 336 in 30-30. I have read more than a few times that a lot of guys have noticed that the heavier bullets seem to shoot more accurately in their guns. So what do you like in yous?

    Good Trigger on a semi-auto .22 Plinker(rifle)?

    The problem with the Ruger 10/22 is the barrel. The bore is slightly oversized which destroys accuracy. Did you ever wonder why the second thing most people replace on their 10/22's is the barrel? The Marlin model 60 has a great barrel and as such is quite accurate right out of the box. But a...

    Looking for a cheap bolt action .22

    I have both the 981T and a 60 and the primary difference between them IMO is CLEANING them after a trip out to the range. I love the 981T as you can shoot it and take it home and put it away. You want to clean it anyway? Pull the bolt and patch the barrel and put the bolt back in, simple as...

    Sell My 9mm and Go All Out with .45. What do People Think?

    good point but you can't really walk up to somebody with a Garand and get the drop on them like you can with a Glock now can you?
