I just bought an old Stevens 14 1/2. It was dirt cheap and it functions fine. The stock and foregrip's wood are in decent shape as well. There is very light touches of surface rust on the barrel/reciever, not deep at all, pretty much a "dusting" of rust, which is apparently extremely easy to...

I came across a CBC Shotgun, which is made in Brazil, imported by FIE in Miami. I was reading around and apparently, quite a few people have one under a few different names. It seems like it is decent quality, and people trust them. I can get a fully working model in like-new to lightly used...

So I was putting a few rounds through the 795 today, but I wasnt having all that much fun... On my last range trip, I ran about 275 rounds of Federal Bulk "value pack" through the rifle. I didnt have 1 malfunction, period. I havent cleaned the rifle since then, but I didnt think it would matter...

Edit: Before reading this, I want to warn you that you'll probably think I'm an idiot or something when you're done reading it. Even still, any help regarding any of the issues I've asked about would be GREATLY appreciated... Alright, well I must have somehow contracted the "AR" virus, because...

So you see a gun you think you'll really like, whether online, a local shop or maybe the range. You want to watch a couple videos to see what it's like. You think you may be interested in buying one. Now, you may go search for a review on it. Pros, cons, and everything in-between. You want to...

So I recently went to the range with my new Marlin XL7 (.30-06). It weighs in at about 6 3/4 + a 3-9x40 Bushnell scope... It was actually my first time shooting a .30-06 and my first time shooting something "big" in quite a few years. The only other "high recoil" gun I had shot was a 12ga...

You'll probably think I'm a fool after reading this, but it's probably better that I realize that. Maybe I wont get robbed with a used gun for a new price. :o I recently purchased a Marlin XL7 in .30-06. This was about a month ago. I only shot the gun once and I am a little bit of a noob when...

I was watching a video by Nutnfancy about a particular UTG bipod. I know these are meant for airsoft guns, etc. Anyway, he showed himself using the bipod on multiple rifles including AR-15's and what appeared to be high powered rifles, probably .308, .30-06 or something like that. Well I ordered...

I hear all over the place that you can legally build a firearm, but only under some "very specific conditions". What I can't find are these required conditions. If I am not mistaken, a $200 tax stamp is also required for the process. There's also the conditions that it must be for personal...

I got my grandpa's old .22wmr out of a storage unit yesterday, and boy was that thing filthy... words cannot describe how dirty the thing was. I spent 2 hours on it and yet I can still pull filth out of the gun. Anyway, that's not really the issue here. The bolt was just slightly stiff, nothing...

So here's the story. An old friend of my grandpa's gave him a bolt-action .22WMR rifle. My grandpa could not legally own a gun, so that sounds kinda stupid on both their parts as the guy who gave it to him was a legitimate outdoors-man. Well anyway, about 6 years ago, he gave it to my mom, she...

To make a long story short, I was going to the range with a few people. I had always rented before because I was too lazy to go and buy a set. I was in home depot the night before and decided to look for some. I wound up buying 3M Tekk's Professional Hearing Protector model. I bought 2 since I...

I've always been really interested in firearms and I'm pretty knowledgeable about them. I was thinking of getting a job recently, so I was wondering if I'd try to get a job at a gun shop. I don't believe there is any age that you have to be to work in one. I remember reading a forum post where...

Iraqveteran8888 posted a video about the effectiveness of some different .22lr loads. Experiment done with ballistic gel. Final look at results were between Aguila Super Maximum and CCI Stinger. The Super Maximum won with same penetration as the stinger, but with a larger wound channel. So I was...

Hello, I see a lot of people making these zip guns which apparently are often illegal. I know there are some exceptions to these homemade firearms, so I was wondering if anyone has any document I can look at that clearly spells these things out. Thanks a lot.

I only got into firearms a couple years ago, so I am still pretty much a noob. People always seem to say that the cleaning rod should be twisting as its moving down the bore, yet for me they do not. This is with multiple guns, too. This is such a noob question but for some reason I have this...

I am interested in purchasing an M6 Scout, that is, when I get my hands on one. Anyway, I was wondering if I should go with .22lr or .22 hornet. I guess an obvious advantage of the .22is being dirt cheap, but for the hornet having far more energy and also having the ability to be reloaded. What...

I was interested in buying a Springfield M6 Scout. That would technically make it my first shotgun. I've only shot clay targets once in my life and have been planning on buying a launcher. What do you guys think about shooting them with a .410 shotgun? I've heard people say that it's not only...

It's clear that a .22 has far better ballistics from a rifle, but how reliable would a rifle be in stopping an attacker? Figure you had enough time to react and take multiple shots. Some report that a .22lr can drop in one shot at a percentage of around 40-50%, but some seem to believe that no...

Well I came across a video the other day, actually a couple. It demonstrated how to make simple explosive or incendiary ammunition, specifically for airguns. It was pretty simple. Take some toy cap gun caps and take out the powder. Put them in the hollow point, add a couple of drops of water and...
