There's another thread in discussion about hunting handguns generating a lot of responses that seems bigger game oriented which causes me to be curios. What are you using? What are you hunting? and do you have a picture. Here in Wisconsin I believe the rule says you need a 5 1/2 inch barrel...

Just a curiosity question but how many rifles, shotguns, handguns... before you stop buying more or considerably slow down. I know it's going to be different for everyone seeing as I know people who think 1 is enough where as my grandpa before 1983 had a collection of over 300. Some cheap some...

I'm slowly narrowing down the choice of trainer handgun for my small handed wife. Today we went to the local Dunhams store which has the M&P on sale for $349 and the Ruger for $379. The guy handed her the M&P and she said this doesn't feel bad. Then the Ruger and she said this is ok. She's...

Is there a place to rent or borrow a sight pusher. The front sight of my SD9VE is off center and the gun is shooting to the left. The rear sight is easily adjustable but I thought why not push the sight to get it where it needs to be but i've seen pushers for a lot more than im willing to pay...

Ok yeah it sounds silly but it's my problem and i'm trying to find a solution. My wife is small and has small hands. I took her to the range this weekend and let her shoot my SD9VE. Sure she got off some shots but accuracy was out the window due to trigger pull and recoil causing her not to...

I'm in the market for an inexpensive/reliable pistol in 9mm. My budget is $350 tops. No save $200 and buy something better replies. The goal is something I can shoot targets with when I go to the range with my rifles, cheap to feed, and possibly home protection. Like all things in life one...

Ok here's the conundrum. My grandpa was a big reloader when I was younger and now that he's in a veterans home and doesn't reload anymore. He had lots of boxes of military brass with their fun and exciting head stamps. So most of the ammo is being tore down to salvage the projectiles. The...

I have an Enfield #1 Mark 3 303 that I picked up earlier this summer for $125. It has a sporterized forend stock and a short piece of wood on top in front of the sight. Beyond that I believe it's original. Not much of a looker but boy does it shoot. But since I got it I pretty much just buried...

I was out hunting pheasants today and I kicked up a bird, shot and it went down alive. I chased it into cattails where I was about 3 feet from it but it kept moving so I decided to ask a hunter with a dog if he could help me. I got there and he was searching for a bird too. I guess the new to...

Does anyone have experience with the Simmons 8 point 3-9x40? I'm looking for a new scope for my sporterized Type 38 Arisaka 6.5x50. It has a trusty Bushnell 3-9x32 on it but after 30 years it could use and upgrade and I have a 22 magnum that could use the old scope. Here's the scope I'm...

Hunting this past 9 day firearm deer season in Wisconsin had such varying temperatures that it blindsided my warmth. The day before deer season opened at 5am it was -8 with a high of 20. Four days later it was 30 at 5am and warmed up to 45 and raining/snowing/sleeting. Sometimes the winds were...

My friend wants to reblue a shotgun that was put back in the case wet and doesn't look great now. Not trying to make it into a beauty but as good as he can get it. He's 65 and was telling me when he was younger most likely a teenager he bought some bluing didn't say how it was applied but it...

I have a Savage Fox Model B BSE-c 12 gauge and I have and odd problem. When I shoot standard bulk pack Winchester AA out of the right barrel the gun jams every once in a while and the barrel opens a hair. When I use Federal shells of any kind it never has a problem. Only happens on the right...

Last season my dad misplaces his nipple/breach plug wrench for his American Knight muzzeloader that takes #11 caps. Does anyone know if there is a inexpensive substitute besides spending $35 if I can find the original. Will ones work from other rifles. My dad seems to think if he could get...

I've been trying to think of a way to speed up my reloading process without sacrificing accuracy or safety. I usually do pretty good at measuring powder while reloading and probably average about 50 cartridges in an hour. But I've been looking at these powder measures and they seem to speed up...

I was recently on a trip to the black hills and stopped in at Cabela's in Mitchel, South Dakota. On my way out of the store I looked across the parking lot and there was a sign that said guns. I don't remember the store name but it's on the south side of the Cabela's. There was one shelving...

I bought a used Mossberg 500c Super Bantam 20 gauge. It's a youth model and was suppose to come with a small recoil pad for 12 inch length of pull and then a spacer and recoil pad for the 13 inch length of pull. Well it's missing the smaller recoil pad and I need the short length of pull...

I went to the range last week and shot up some old 303 british ammo I had in a box that said reloaded by a company in Wolverine, Michigan. Well 10 minutes ago I learned the hard way that it wasn't boxer primed and broke the tip off my expander decaping pin. Is there any use for this brass now...

I brought my SKS to the range today to shoot off a bunch of old ammo I got with the rifle and the first two boxes had about 5 rounds that wouldn't go off each. Eventually I tried some of them 2-4 times before they finally went off. Is this just a problem with hard primer surplus ammo or...

I just bought a Chinese SKS from my granpa's estate which seems like a steal of a deal. It's scoped and came with 20 boxes of ammo. Only one said non corrosive so I shot that on test fire. The rest says: Lead Core Hollow Point Cartridges 7,62x39 Made to Hunting Specifications 20pc Came in a...
