does anyone know if the handi-rifle is available in 7.62x39? If not do you think they would sell an unchambered .30 cal barrel? that would be great so I can use .308 bullets.

my brother has a kleingunther bolt action in .243 and needs a base abd rings. anybody have a source?

Anyonw here hunt the Louisiana marsh? how do you tell what is a lease and what is public waters? It all looks the same. my fishing guide has pointed out leases to me before and it looks just like any other section of marsh, grass growing in the middle of the shallow marsh. I asked this question...

I have an Arisaka M38 with the Mum intact. The blueing is in bad shape and the stock appears to have been refinished (poorly). Would it be a bad idea to reblue? I know it usually detracts from the value but doesn't it get to a point where the blueing can be so bad that a re-blue could actually...

I ahd a good buck walk past me this past weekend. I was hunting a road and he walked past me parallel in the woods. Couldn't tell how good he was so I waited to see if a definite good one was following. After about 5 min. I figured I would rattle to see if he would come out on the road to get a...

I don't own any suppressed rifles (wish I did) from my understanding one of the most difficult things to achieve as quiet weapon as possible is a subsonic projectile. I would think that with it's smaller case capacity the 7.62x39 would work better than a .308 or the expensive and time-consuming...

I've always wondered about converting a fixed sight Smith to adjustable. I've always thought you would have to mill the trough out then cut a dovetail then find a taller than normal rear. upon further thought I guess you could just cut a dovetail through the trough. It would leave a gap under...

Why do some people not like the Punta Gorda S&W's. I have a pinned Model 36 that is beautiful, Was my Grandfather's. He might have put 50 rounds through it and I may have shot about 50 also so admittedly it hasn't been tested for longetivity and ruggedness. It seems to be just as well made as my...

I am considering moving to Utah and was checking out the hunting and fishing opportunities last night. The fishing looks unbelievable but the length of the hunting seasons appear to be well....crappy. If I read right gun season for deer lasts like 2 weeks and blackpowder and bow season aren't...

What is the reason behind shooting wadcutters at targets instead of semi-wadcutters. Admittedly, I'm not a competition shooter, never even fired a wadcutter that I remember, but SWC's make clean holes in targets. Maybe because a seated WC reduces powder capacity making light loads easier to produce?

I have thought that a big tritium sight w/no rear at all may be good for HD. Gonna be close range. Don't know what my reasoning is at all for this hair-brained idea?

How in the heck do yor get the stock off an SKS. There is a flat head screw with a funny nut on the other side of the stock that looks like it takes some type of special spanner wrench? Ive tried using a flathead screwdriver but can't budge the screw. I assume you have to take the funny nut off...

In your opinion, what's the best high end scope? swarovski, schmidt&bender, nightforce,... I'm sure I left some out. Which one?

The 90 and 120 obviously are longer and have more case capacity but how much more powerful are they than the 45-70. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the difference was very small with smokeless powder but made a pretty big difference w/blackpowder. Doesn't make sense to me.

I have some 255gr. LRN I loaded for my Blackhawk .45 Colt several years ago and am having problems with a case sticking in one of the chambers. They are pretty hot loads but I don't have my handloading log book now, it's in another State. I'm not having problems w/factory ammo. Should I stop...

I've been thinking about this whole bull barrel jheating up slower & therefore being more accurate for extended firing. Seems that the bull barrel would dissipate heat slower than a regular barrel b/c the thick barrel would actually keep the heat in b/c it would take longer for the heat to be...

I am about to receive a Pigeon grade Superposed free. I have not seen it lately but I do remember it's condition would bring tears to your eyes. It is salvageable and mechanically sound. I guess I am going to use Art's Belgian Blue. Does anyone have any experience? From what I understand you...

In my younger days i always wanted a .220 Swift. Don't really know why I wanted it over a .22-250, guess the name Swift just hit it for me. I don't think anyone even chambers it anymore as the .22-250 pretty much killed it. Can anyone tell me why the .22-250 stood the test of time and the Swift...

About to get my TX license. Seems most think IWB is the best way to carry a revolver. Am I correct in assuming this? I will not walk around with my shirt untucked. Would I need to wear a sport jacket everywhere in this Houston heat? What about when wearing shorts, not gym shorts but nice...

I just saw on another site that lists various guns & their specs, that the GP100 is also chambered in the .45 Colt???????This is news to me:confused:
