I just had an Idea for a project (10/22 butchery) any way, I know the legal shortest rifle barrel is 16", but what is the shortest legal overall legnth? 24"?and does a "rifle" need a stock? or would a pistol grip with no folder be alright? I live in Oregon, so thank goodness no California B.S.

A good friend of mine was doing some cleaning in his basement, and gave me some 5.56 ammo because he no longer has any guns that shoot it (years ago he had a legal M16) any way, among the ammo, I found 14 rounds with green tips, 10 rounds with red tips, 5 rounds with orange tips and one with a...

I have recently bought two rifles and two scopes and I can't decide what to mount on what. The rifles are: a Howa 1500 in .223, with a #2 barrel that will be used for varmints/paper, and a Interarms Mark X in .257 Roberts Ackley improved that will be used for varmints/paper and mabe someday deer...

A couple weeks ago I remember somebody talking about an online source for used AR's in the $599 range from an online gun store, anybody remember who had them ?

I am thinking about a scoped rifle between my .223 and 30-06 for long range varminting and mabe someday deer or antalope. I have been looking at these calibers: 243, 6mm rem, 257roberts,25-06, 7mm08, 7x57. I do reload. I am aiming for a medium weight rifle, with low recoil. and I want it...

I have recently found myself the new owner of a Interarms Mark X , and a Remington 700 both in 30-06. I think I will be selling the Remington and keeping the Interarms for a hunting/plinking rifle,but my question is about the scopes: They both came with 3x9 scopes, a "ChallengerUSA by Weaver"...

I have a friend who just offered me a Howa 1500 in .223 for what I think is a good price($350). I already have a Stevens 200 in .223 that shoots well, but I like the drop down floorplate, and metal trigger gaurd of the Howa better. What are your oppinions of these rifles? How hard is it to...

Kind of a strange question, but does bullet diameter make a difference in felt recoil? lets say you has the same gun, one in 308, one in 7mm-08, same weight bullet 150g, same speed, etc. would it feel the same?

I have a strange question- I live in rural eastern Oregon, and usually carry some kind of gun with me in the truck for the occational badger, coyote,rattlesnake, rabit,etc. I end up walking around looking at old homesteads, cars,and such so a lightwieght hand gun that I can put in my back pocket...

Anyone know anything about Interarms bolt actions? stumbled onto one locally for $300. Looks nice, 30-06, do the still make them? are parts available?

What is the difference between a Remington 721 and a Remington 700? I have a 721 in 30-06 that was my grandfathers(works great) and I was just offered a 721 in good condition with a peep sight in .270 for $200. Will parts or stocks interchange with a 700? any history or things to look out for?

I have a Springfield champion lightweight GI 1911 and I am thinking about changing the mainspring housing from the factory arched one to a flat style, because I have smallish hands and to rid the gun of the silly lock. I was looking at the Johm Masen catalog and trying to decide between smooth...

I have 3 boxes left of handloaded 30-30 that my ex-girlfriends dad loaded a few years back, and gave me. I have shot two boxes of this stuff in my mod.94 Winchester about 4 years ago with no problems, but now that I am into reloading I am curious because none of my manuals list this powder...

I recently bought a Springfield GI champion lightwieght and it has the lock on the mainsping housing. How hard is this to remove? I am thinking about replacing the housing with a flat one,(the stock one is arched)but besides that what else do I need to order? How difficult of a job is this? (its...

I am thinking about a WWII style springfield champion with the aluminum light wieght frame but in the past I have heard that aluminum framed 1911's are not durable in the long run. Is this just an "old wifes tale" or realy a problem? I am hoping to use it as an occasional cary piece and plan on...

I am usually a revolver guy, but I have been looking ar a Kahr CW40 for a carry gun. I like how the gun feels, and the fact that its thin and light, but I need to know about reliability, and performance before I lay the money out.

First of all thank you to everyone who helped me out with the .223 brass& dies posts. I have found this site is a wealth of knowledge, and a great tool for beginers like myself. I have yet another .223 Question!!!! I have 3 lbs of 4198, 3lbs of 4895, 1lb of 3031, 1lb of 748,and 1lb of 4320...

I am about to start reloading for .223 and I am wondering if I need to buy a "small base" die set for using my reloads in a Mini 14 and AR15. I have a regular set of .223 RCBS dies already, that I got used from a friend. I have a bolt action .223 as well, but I will be loading different rounds...

Anyone ever heard of a "universal" brand M1 carbine? I know they are kind of a reproduction. I have seen one advertised locally, how is the quality, reliability, etc. and what are they worth?
