    Air Pistol?

    I am thinking of getting one for training purposes. Just has to be reasonably priced, have a decent trigger and be accurate enough. Plus I just want to be able to shoot in the back yard a bit. Recommendations please? Thank you.

    Oil A2 Front Sight?

    Hi all. My A2 sight is difficult to turn. I have tried a couple of methods like pushing the pin and using pliers or an eraser head. It will turn, but is very stiff. In fact I was afraid to bend it with pliers yesterday so I quit. Should it be oiled? If so with what? It has never rusted or been...

    Dehumidifier not Cutting It

    Hi all. I have a Field and Stream E333 electronic dehumidifier in my Liberty safe. It is not quite cutting it. I live in the humid southeast, have to recharge it almost twice a week. I have noticed a little rust on a cheapo 870 with the parkerized finish starting. What can I add to this to...

    Safe in Garage?

    Hi all. I am thinking of putting a safe in my garage. I live in the humid coastal southeast. I already have one of those Field and Stream plug in dehumidifiers. Even in my air conditioned house I have to dry it out every 5 days or so. Will I be ok, should I take extra precautions, or just...

    Competitors to the 10/22

    Specifically I need a rifle that has a 10 round drop free mag for my kids for Appleseed, but want better than the off the rack 10/22. If I am going to spend the $$ to accurize one, I would rather just pay for off the rack performance. I am thinking CZ, but not the league of Anshultz. I have a...

    Sling prone shooting with the AR

    Hi all. I want to shoot my next Appleseed with my plain jane AR. My 30 round mags get in the way while prone and I am thinking of picking up some 10's or 20's. I am leaning toward the 20's, but want to be sure I will have enough clearance with them with the way the forearm is directly up and...

    Traveling to and around NY from NC?

    Ooops. Mods please move to Law and Civil Rights if necessary. Hi all. I will be traveling up there next week to visit family and take in the Undadilla MX! I understand the reciprocity of different states. Here is my question: if I were to spend time in NY how is the safest way to transport...

    Twist Rates

    Hi all. Just as you need a faster twist rate to stabilize heavier bullets do those same rates work with lighter bullets? I am thinking .223. Say I have a 1:8 or 9 twist for larger 77 gr bullets will it shoot 36 gr as accurately as say a 1:12 twist rifle? All other things being equal of course...

    Shooting a rain event....

    Hi all. I am getting ready to attend an Appleseed event and the forecast looks dicey. How do you guys protect your firearms, especially long guns for your events in the rain? Could be all day sitting, standing and prone. Thanks.

    At what point do you switch to Optics?

    Hi all. I was doing some sighting in my .22's preparing for an Appleseed event coming up and am wondering this. I did one rifle with tech sights and another with a scope. Both grouped about the same. Best was 1/4" at 25 meters (82 feet). That was with Aperture 'Tech Sights' and a sling prone...

    How many rounds to trust a new carry gun?

    Hi all. I am going to switch my G19 out for a CZ P07 and am wondering this question. I need to sell the Glock to finance this, but will not part with it until I am sure.

    How to id the source of malfunctions?

    Hi all. I got a 90's era CZ75B a few months back. It is very clean, but may have been shot a lot. I really don't know. It came with 4 mags. I first id'd one mag that wouldn't allow the full trigger reset for some reason, but couldn't remember which it was. I shot a match today and found it...

    Any reason not to consider a 2002 336?

    I know this was just before Remlin came along and quality was suffering. Would you count one of these out or if not what would you look for? Considering one. Thanks.

    How do you guys stop buying guns?

    Seriously. I just can't help myself. I have way more than my pay grade allows! Every time I think I am all set, something else comes along! Aaaaaaaagh!

    Scratch on Security Six?

    Hi all. I somehow managed to get a light scratch along the side of the trigger housing. I tried to wipe off with just spit and my shirt to no avail. I am assuming the finish is nickel? Remedies? The gun is otherwise in fantastic condition. Makes me sick! Thank you!

    s&w 10-5

    Is there any reason not to get a mint condition 5" model for $450? I do mean mint, but failed to ask if there was a box. Would make a great wedding gift for my fiancée.

    Is my Nitrex as good as your Leupold or Weaver?

    I have a Nitrex TR One 3*9*42 that I have been happy with. All I do is eastern deer hunting with it. There is part of me that thinks I should go with a better known brand, but really no other reason to be unhappy besides the fact that it was cheap. I got it on closeout from Natchez about 5 years...

    Older Liberty Safe

    Hi all. I am looking for a used safe on a budget. This is a Lincoln Series 15 that was made in 95. Very good condition that I can get for $750. I realize that it is a little small, but I have a security cabinet for my ammo and stuff. If I make some custom racks I will have plenty of room to grow...
