    Israel's new double barrel assault rifle

    I doubt this concept will find any traction. It's most likely photoshopped.

    THis is the answer to our Special Forces need

    So their big innovation is a muzzle break and reducing the rate of fire? :what:

    Skinner Lo-Pro Sight on 10/22 Review

    Even if it looks fragile, this is from Skinner Sights website: All the same, I've got the winged version of back and rear sights on my 1894. Skinner Sights are great!

    Tavor TAR-21 Coyote Rifle?

    I get the feeling that the OP wants this rifle more for a HD/tactical situation than he would for varmint hunting. He was probably just excited to see a military-style weapon that he could legally take into the wild. Of course, if anyone official in Canada asked, I would say it was only for...

    .357 Lever action advice.

    Find a pre-Remington Marlin 1894C. Mine is a gem and shoots everything I feed it. More than any other gun, it's stopped that "itch" that makes you want to buy more guns. It's light and handy and I think .357 is great for anything short of 125 yards. I put Skinner sights on mine and target...

    Minimalist Gun Collection

    Your minimalist list has 14 guns on it??? How big is your "regular" collection? What about a 4-gun list: precision rifle, carbine, shotgun, handgun. Is there anything these 4 couldn't reasonably do well? For a minimalist list, you don't need to cover every niche.

    Need Help Troubleshooting Ruger GP100 Problem

    No, the trigger had been fully released. I know what you mean, but that wasn't it.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm looking into a gunsmith to refine the action.

    Need Help Troubleshooting Ruger GP100 Problem

    I took my Ruger GP100 to the range the other day after not shooting it for approximately 2 years (although I dryfire/practice with it regularly). After shooting it two years ago, I cleaned and lubricated it. This time, after firing twice, the trigger would not pull back and neither would the...

    How Rugged are Skinner Peep Sights?

    I'm going to be ordering a peep sight for my Marlin 1894CSS soon and I'm torn between getting the Skinner Express and the Skinner Tactical (which has protective wings). I like the look of the express but I'm concerned about sturdiness. My question to skinner sight owners out there is this: is...

    357/38 Rifles???

    I guess I'm pretty spoiled, because I've never had a cycling problem with my 1894CSS even with a hundred .38s in a row. The key to getting a Marlin, I think, is to just stumble upon a good deal first. When you find one, and they're out there, pick it up ASAP.

    Pistol cal. leverguns seem to be pretty rare lately

    I was able to snag a pre-Remy Marlin 1894CSS off of gunbroker last year. After posting about my success on another website, I had offers of $900 to buy it. I'm never giving it up :neener:. They're the sweetest little shooters I've had and .357 out of an 18.5" barrel is nothing to sneeze at.

    .357 Lever Action Rifles

    I have a Marlin 1894CSS from 2008 (I think), and it's the perfect gun. 100% reliable. It was one of the last ones made in the Marlin factory. I think once production began in Remington factories the QC went down.

    The Marlin 1894 Club

    Just got my 1894CSS a couple of days ago, and was relieved to find that it has the old factory stamp on it and not the Remington. I'll do a proper post on it soon, but I'm very happy with it. The finish is superb, it cycles 100% reliably so far using hollow-point .357s and round-nosed .38s, and...

    Can't Believe My Luck

    I had little hope of ever finding a Marlin 1894CSS. No one wants to sell theirs and it seems Marlin has all but stopped making them. I could never find a store with them in stock and I checked gunbroker.com every day. Well, imagine my surprise when I found one in excellent condition today on...

    Recommendations on M-4 purchase

    Bud's Gun Shop is selling Colt Defense LE6920 M4s right now for $1,199. That might fit your bill and save you a few bucks for a complete, out-the-door rifle.

    Which Gun to Get?

    It takes me months, sometimes years, to decide on which firearm to purchase. I'm choosy and "thrifty", so I like to research my choices thoroughly. I'm anticipating buying a good long arm before too long, and I'm primarily looking at 4 choices: 1. Marlin 1894css First of all, it concerns me...

    Help me not be stupid

    Kel-Tec's facilities are located in central Florida (a few miles from where I grew up in Brevard County), so I'm sure the gun is fine for the climate. While I've never personally shot a PF9, I've only heard good things about them.

    M1A legal questions..

    There's nothing to do about it, since we're the minority. My work and family is here, so this is where I have to stay. There are lots of interesting ways to get around our poorly written laws, like using bullet buttons, 10/30 magazines, and so forth. Take a look at these California-legal ARs...

    How are Ruger GP100s more durable than S&Ws?

    When comparing Rugers to S&Ws, I've always heard that S&Ws have a better trigger and finish, but that Rugers are more rugged and durable. Anyone else always hear that? What is it about the Ruger design that makes it a hardier firearm?
