Well, last weekend I was finally able to talk my buddy out of a beautiful Pre-64 Winchester Model 94. He's been keeping this gun in his closet for years and has never shot it and I have been after it for most of that time. The gun is immaculate. The wood is beautiful and the metal work is...

“Buy the gun, not the story.” I’ve heard that often and I believe it. However I have come across a rifle with a fascinating story and I have no intention of ever selling it. My Significant Other’s brother-in-law (Harry) recently gave me this rifle that he found in his attic when he moved from...

On another forum I read the following post on Remington 1100 and 11-87 "faults". I have never read this before and have done a search with no applicable results. Can anyone familiar with the Remington 1100's and 11-87's offer an opinion on the validity of this post?

A routine traffic stop in Montana turns ugly. Turn up your computer volume. Listen for the first "click" as the driver pulls out and points the gun at the Trooper....a 41 Magnum Revolver. The "click" is the hammer dropping on an already fired round in the cylinder. The second round...

Caldwell G3 Hearing Protectors: I've been looking at these and they look pretty good for $60. Anyone out there using these? What do you think of them?

I recently acquired this S.D. Myres holster in a trade. From what I can find out, the company used to be in El Paso, Texas and is now out of business. I think they were famous for their Tom Threepersons holsters. I'm not sure what model holster this is, or when it may have been made. Anyone...

I'm sure this must have been posted before but I haven't been able to find it. Even so, it's worth posting again. It's a video of a Texas Woman that was involved in a mass-killing testifying before Congress about her right, and our right, to carry a firearm to defend ourselves...

I found a beautiful S&W Model 65 that was produced in 1987 and it is virtually in new condition. Along with the gun came a letter from Roy Jinks (S&W Historian) indicating that the gun was delivered to the Georgia State Police in 1987. It has been in storage for over a decade when the Georgia...

This seems like the best place to post this: I found a sealed box of this 9 mm. machine-gun ammo that I have had for years hidden away in an old box. I wonder if anyone would know the vintage of this stuff, and if it would be safe to shoot in a modern 9mm pistol? Is there any collector value...

Does anyone use VCI paper (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors) for storing their guns? (This is the type of brown paper Smith & Wesson and other manufacturers wrap their guns in for shipping). Just wondering what your experience with this product has been? It's supposed to resist rust and...

Subject: 71-year-old retired Marine, the 2nd Amendment & the right to carry "Police investigate the scene The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation sub shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as a former pilot for...

I have 2 .270 rifles, a Winchester Model 70 and a Sako Finnbear. Both are sighted in to put Remington Express 130 grain factory bullets 2" high and centered at 100 yds. When I try Remington Express 100 grain factory bullets in both rifles, the Winchester Model 70 puts them 1 1/2" high and...

Has anyone used Gorilla Glue for stock repair? Just wondering what your experience with this stuff has been. Would you recommend it for fixing a cracked stock?

From the Telegraph (UK): Gazing through the telescopic sight of his M24 rifle, Staff Sgt Jim Gilliland, leader of Shadow sniper team, fixed his eye on the Iraqi insurgent who had just killed an American soldier. His quarry stood nonchalantly in the fourth-floor bay window of a hospital...

I bought a beautiful old 20 ga. Ithaca Model 37 (circa 1977) at a gun show this past weekend. It has the old Weaver Choke tubes that screw on the end of the barrel. One is marked "AP" and the other one is marked "LR" instead of the standard "Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder," etc. Can anyone...

This post came from the FAC (Forward Air Controller's Net). The comments on weapons used in the conflict are very interesting. I would like to wish you all a Happy Veterans Day. Remember our boys who are doing the work over there. This was sent by a Semper Fi, UAL retired, east coast type...

I've been looking at the Weatherby Vanguard in .243 with synthetic stock. The blued version runs about $100 less than the stainless version. What advantage (OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS CORROSION RESISTANCE) does the stainless action/barrel have over the blued versions? Is there a noticeable...

Just wondering if anyone has used "Blue Wonder" for cleaning copper fouling out of rifle barrels. It is a paste-type cleaner and was highly recommended at the gun range. Just wonder what your experiences with it have been?

I recently read an article by Jack O'Connor in which he recommends sighting in a rifle at 25 yds. He says if all rifles are sighted in at 25 yards, you will be within approximately 2-3" out to 300 yds. The following table was appended to the article to support the premise. (I might add that...
