Just curious how many people would buy used gun that was dirty? I just picked up two rifles for a pretty nice price. Once I got them home and really started looking at them I decided to try them as shooters instead of parts/projects guns. The bores on both of them looked terrible and I...

I purchased a rifle yesterday with a scope on it. It is a Bushnell Sportview. The front of the scope has an adjustable ring on it that goes from 20 yards to 1000 yards. The rear of the scope can magnify from 4 - 12 power. How does this scope work? As I adjust the front ring, does that move...

Does anyone know if the Rossi Wizard barrels will fit on the Rossi Triple Play Youth gun? My nephew has the Triple Play and would like to get a 270 and 30-06 barrel. (He has the 20 gauge, .22 LR and the .243 barrel. Thanks.

Interesting cartridge to reload. I bought 100 pieces of Remington Brass for my .222 and decided to run it all through my full length resizing die along with what little spent factory ammo I had. This process really seems to push the shoulder back quite a ways. Overall length remains pretty...

Somewhere I saw a chart that showed that a rifle sighted in at 100 yards, should be raised X inches above the target when firing at a target at 200 yards. 100 yards - dead center 150 yards - X above target center 200 yards - x above target center I know a lot depends on what type of...

This happened to me the other day: I was helping a nephew work on his truck when A state Trooper pulled in to my driveway. I came out from under the hood of the truck and asked if I could help him. He asked me where #9 was located. I told him I owned and lived in #9. Trooper: "Are you...

I am curious about storing black powder cartridges. What Are your experiences with storing black powder cartridges? I have about 100 .45 Colt rounds loaded with FFFg powder. My friend says it is corrosive and the rounds will deteriorate. The powder comes in metal cans and none of my cans...

I am not sure whether to put this here or in the Law sections. I am sure the mods will move it if it is in the wrong section (Thanks in advance). I understand you must be 21 years old to purchase a pistol (and here in Missouri) to carry it. 1. Can you purchase a pistol, as a gift, for...

I was asked to purchase handgun ammo for a kid I hardly know. I do not purchase it for kids I do know, but this last request was just weird. I know if you purchase handgun ammo they ask your age and if under 21 years old will deny you the purchase. What are the ramifications of purchasing...

I am not going to be reloading for awhile (probably up to a year). I still have several one pound canisters of powder, currently stored in my reloading room, inside my house. What can, or should, I do with the powder? I was tempted to just load everything I have and see what is left over...

People have asked how many times they could reload a piece of brass before it fails or is no good. I love the .45 Colt and that is what I mainly shoot. I have some .45 Colt brass that has been reloaded twelve times. I finally got a case failure on a piece of RP Brass that was on its eleventh...

My sister wanted to get a new shotgun for my nephew, her son. It was supposed to be a surprise gift for his birthday this weekend. She called Bass Pro and they told her she could not give it as a gift, her son would have to buy it, so it would be registered in his name. As far as I know, the...

There is a lot of cop bashing going on because of the Ohio incident. Here is an example of a GREAT Cop knowing how to handle such a situation. http://www.policeone.com/Officer-Safety/articles/4105481-Video-Great-police-response-to-Calif-open-carry-activist/ Not overly aggressive, but he...

If someone is determined, by the mental health profession or the courts, to be ...not in their right mind, how is it reported to NCIC? I am assuming it is, but the process is unclear to me.

Received this e-mail from Missouri Bullet Company. If you are interested in brass and bullets, check them out and use the code below. We have sent this email to all of our customers who have previously purchased .45 Colt bullets from us, and is a quick update to let you know that we are now...

Can any one tell me what this rifle might be worth? It is stainless steal, lever action .45 Colt. I have never heard of this brand before and the pawn shop is asking $460.00 for it. What sort of pressure can it handle? (Ruger Only/T/C contender type?) Thanks for any quick replies, I have to...

Have any of you successfully re-blued your guns? What did you use? I have several (Pistols, Rifle, Shotguns) that I would like to re-blue. I tried using Perma Blue, from Birchwood Casey and have had no luck. I followed the directions. No grease/oil on the gun. But it comes out looking...

Based on another thread, I just had to put a poll up asking what happened to your guns. If you do not find the answer in the poll, add it here. You guys crack me up. (In order to make sure this poll is entirely un-scientific, you can choose multiple answers.)

I was wondering how you folks learned to shoot? Why did you learn to shoot? I grew up in the country and watched my Dad and uncles shooting at targets, or come back from hunting. I do not remember when I first shot, but my Father thinks it was sometime around the age of five. He said he...

I hear a lot of talk about how people risk getting their guns taken away from them if they OC (Taken by a BG). Is there any evidence of this being an everyday occurrence? How many times has this happened? I sometimes open carry (Because I can) and have never had anything said about it. I...
