Picked up a Remington-manufacture Auto 5 at a gun show this weekend...not a Remington Model 11 and not a Browning Auto 5, but one of the Browning A-5's made at the Remington factory in St. Louis between 1940 and 1947. I can't seem to get a straight answer on this. Is it a re-badged Model 11...

No, I'm not referring to removing your clothes in a field with a blindfold on :D I saw a couple videos of people doing this (notably with an AR) and thought, "Hm, that's quite interesting. Wonder if I could do it?" So I gave it a shot with one of my SIGs, which was pretty simple. I don't own...

I've tried to search for something regarding this, but it's difficult to find. I'll give as many details as possible to begin with to avoid any confusion: I am legally old enough to own a handgun, I do not have a concealed weapons permit at the moment (getting around to it though), and I live in...

Many of you know of Toby Halicki, known as the car crash king, for his 1974 hit "Gone in 60 Seconds". And few know that he owned all of the cars that were damaged/wrecked in the car chase scene. Those were only a part of his collection of 100,000 cars, toys, guns, knives, and anything else you...

I'll start by saying that I do not own anything pump action or lever action, so both of these would be interesting for me to own. I'm fairly set that I'd like to purchase one of these two guns, likely a Norinco repro (if I purchase in the near future) or the real deal (if I save up). Though...

Okay, so I got it a while back. I've been gone for a while from here when my classes last fall started getting really busy and I didn't have any free time. I wanna say I got this the week of Thanksgiving, and since then added the pistol grip (not converted, with a possible 'not yet') and Tapco...

I've got a friend who purchased a DAO P226, which is the reason he got it at a really low price. After shooting my P228, he preferred the DA/SA mechanism on mine. It would take some work, but is there any way to make a DAO gun DA/SA? It seems to be designed around the DA/SA frame as it looks...

Okay, so I'm going to check out a few guns, I mostly want a pistol. Here's the options, all of them are used... Rock Island 1911, .45 for $350 CZ-82, 9x18 (from jgsales.com) for around $240 (including shipping & fees) SIG P6, 9mm Luger for $375 Chinese SKS, 7.62x39 for $350 I know the...

I couldn't find a thread solely dedicated to this rifle in general, but I'm asking anyone who owns this to give me some info on it - the general questions that people ask, minus the overly generic ones (i.e. "which AR lower?"). I don't know much about it - how accurate it is, how it compares to...

After a little work on the SW9VE lightening the trigger and after putting several rounds through it, I finally went to an indoor range to shoot at 5 yards (as mentioned before, I've only shot at 15 or 25 yards at the unmanned ranges I go to). We took along a Sigma 9mm, XD40, 20 year old...

I bought my 10/22 in October of last year and pretty much kept it the same. I did pick up a 32-round Promag magazine for it, and finally fixed it so it would feed right. Just bought some Tuffer Buffers to replace the loose bolt stop pin. Last week I picked up a new ATI Dragunov stock for $50...

I've read somewhere that there is a piece you can purchase to replace the floorplate and spring in a Mauser to a detachable magazine. I think I found one somewhere but couldn't see how it worked or what magazines it took. Not really something too purposeful, but just something cool.

http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=131835654 It says "sporterized in 8mm", which I might take to mean the gun was chambered for a common hunting caliber, except for the fact it's the original caliber. Aside from the fact it's not German-made (and is pretty inexpensive for a...

It seems like in today's day and age, firearms are starting to resemble the stock market. Obama gets elected and the price of guns soars. Everyone runs out and buys firearms, and the prices start to drop. I can see the price going up again if a bill comes on the table. Plus, firearms are...

I was at a local gun store a few weeks ago and found what the owner labeled as an "Amberg rifle", chambered for the 8mm mauser round. For $100, I didn't think it was such a bad deal, since I don't own a centerfire rifle. It was dated 1916 and sitting near a rack full of Mausers and M1's. I...

I've only got one thing I can gripe about with the 10/22, and that's the rear sights. I can't stand the folding sights that come on the gun (got it last October), since I learned to shoot using v-notch ramp sights. I just can't shoot well with U-shaped sights, and the folding rear sights just...
