    Rifle in Blue vs Stainless

    Is there a difference in metallurgy between a stainless and blued gun that affect accuracy or longevity in the barrel? I've always been a blued gun kind of guy but thinking about a stainless. I have a buddy who can't look at a gun without it rusting. He only buys stainless, but I don't seem...

    Best way to sell

    I have about 6 firearms I am going to part with. I am not looking for money to pay the bills, but rather to buy other arms I might shoot/enjoy more. I guess at heart I am not into "collecting" multiple arms that I can't find a use for or I am getting little enjoyment out of. Whats the best...

    CCW Belt

    I have very little luck comfortably concealing any type of handgun. I keep reading that the right belt is critical to CCW. Please shed some light on what/how this helps? Also any recommendations on IWB, and OWB holsters for an XDm would be appreciated. I am not thrilled with the paddle...

    advertised NFA violations

    I took a look through my local bargain trader last week, and saw two ads that got my attention. One is for a AR-15 with 11.5" bbl. Don't get me wrong, this thing was not advertised as an NFA item, but just a "really" nice AR-15 made with high quality components. Another was a cobray that had...

    Pick a Pistol Endless stress & indecision

    I have posted about trying to pick a 9mm pistol at least twice before, and the stress/strain from the decision making process is making me crack! I am finding a (cash price) which I don't have, but here are the choices I am narrowed down too. Since its a credit purchase the cost is a factor...

    Winchester in 7mm

    I have been offered one this morning for $250. It has a synthetic stock, haven't seen it yet, but told it is in good condition and shot very little. Without knowing a model number, at that price would it be worth it? 7mm is on my to do list and for $250 I want to say yes even sight unseen...

    New XD vs Used 226

    Which would you choose? I need a 9mm, and there are two used Sigs at my local FFL for 550, come with one magazine, some handling scratches but overall look pretty good. I don't know if the grips weren't fastened on correctly, but the top of the grips bit into the top of my hand just a bit...

    Norinco M1A -> .308 Bolt. Would You?

    I have a Norinco that I am toying with the idea of selling to fund a .308 bolt gun. Whats the best "tactical/varmit" bolt gun for the money? If I had my way it would be a remington tactical or fn patrol rifle, but those are too much $$$. I found it difficult to scope the Norinco cheaply, and...

    Berdan Vs Boxer and advice on starting to reload

    Whats the difference and why can't you reload Berdan primed brass cases? I want to start reloading, but don't have the first piece of equipment. A buddy saved a bunch of brass cased ?Australian? 308 and I am wondering how to tell if it is Berdan primed and why? Any advice is helpful, as well...

    Correcting AK Front Site Cant

    Front site of WASR is canted to the left if you are looking down the bbl, with the sight post itself drifted to the left as well. Better off to leave it, or fix it and re-site in? Did they do this on purpose because they had drifted the site over as far as possible? Is there a quick fix, say...

    FN vs XD

    Whats a good price point for an XD-9 with a 4" bbl, and/or an FN-9? These seem comparable to me, and seem to be roughly at the same price point. Any opinions on either? I am in the market for a 9, I am ruling out glocks/s&w. Glocks, well, I just have never quite liked the grip angle or the...

    AMD-65 vs Draco

    Which version would you have of the AMD's, the century, or the FEG? Beyond that, should I do a Draco pistol to SBR build, or just pick up an AMD-65??? A pitiful question to be sure, but I can't decide between the three. If you had the money for only one of either, which way would you go!?!

    Mosquito quick review

    Picked one up this past weekend, fun gun to shoot, although as everyone should know, as I did before buying.... It will most likely have FTF, FTE, issues. I am sure there are some people who have these function flawlessly, but unfortunate for me, I am not going to be one of them. Even the...

    One Battle Rifle, One Bolt Action .308

    Whats your picks? We could go on about which bolt is better, so I just would like to hear opinions on .308 battle rifles. FAL, M1a/M14, Ceteme, G36, Saiga? Which one would you choose to go with your bolt and why?

    What makes a Firearm have Sentimental Value?

    I have guns that have been/will be passed down to me. I am struggling with sentimentality verses guilt, and trying to figure out why I am attached to some guns, not to others. To be fair, I have never really, wanted to get rid of a gun, and have only sold 4? I think that were in my possession...

    Marlin 30AS Mods

    Is XS sight systems the only game in town for the extended picatiny rail? I have always had my marlin scoped, and this year I am going full brush gun with it. Rear peep, firesight up front, and red dot mounted in a scout position. I have the 18" version, thinking about shorting up to 16"...

    M1A "Cheap" Mounts

    I know this has been done to death, and I went through some old threads. Now that deer season is over, I want to get a .308 for next year's season and some February hog hunts. I already have a scope and and M1A (norinco). With irons at 100yds I can do 3 round groups about 1.5". Biggest...

    Ak Sight on Marlin Lever

    I know there are peeps for the Marlin 336/30AS with picatiny rails. I want a sliding range sight like on a SKS/AK/Mosin. Any ideas, anyone ever seen this done? Seems like with the 30/30 and 7.62x39 cartridges being so similar in ballistics that it might be a good match for a tacticool 16"...

    4 Hunting Rifles/ Different Situations

    I live in eastern NC. Its flat and some long shots do present themselves from time to time. That being said, I have a 30/30 and I am thinking I need another longer range capable rifle. Something out to 400yds max. This would be for whitetail, boar, and maybe black bear, and the 400yds would...
