I recently purchased a supposedly as new in the box Colt Trooper. The pistol has the electroless finish and black rubber Pachmayr grips. My questions concerns cleaning it up for storage. My normal practice with guns I plan to store, is too clean them thoroughly, and then store them. This...

Ok so this is prolly a silly question but here goes. I have a Mak-90 that I bought in the late 80's or early 90's and I would like to buy a few extra 30 round magazines for it. What brand or style of mag works best in these or do they all interchange somewhat like AR stuff does. Thanks

Oh goody, now we're gonna jump on the bandwagon...yahoo! http://joemerchant24.blogspot.com/2008/02/ashfords-gun-bill-just-got-more.html

I posted this once before but have now aquired the serial number and reworded the title in hopes of attracting a bit more info. To those who responded to my first inquiry, and to those who may respond to this one, I thank you. I'm looking at buying this Model 97, but the seller and I don't...

I'm looking at buying this Model 97, but the seller and I don't really know a fair value. The gun has the US/flaming bomb stamp on the left side of the receiver and also the flaming bomb on the top of the barrel. My question is, did the U.S. Government stamp these insignia on both trench guns...

I've got a chance to get one of these for 1K or so. Never had one and was wondering if they are much fun as the other AR's are in 5.56...(AR's are...? it's late ok :D). Probably one of my bigger concerns is magazines...are they harder to find or am I not looking in the right place? I like...

I bought a used Mossberg 835 awhile back and was thinking of making it into "house" gun of sorts. It has a parkerized finish, wood furniture, a ported barrel, and speaking of barrels, this one seems shorter than most other shotguns I have. I'm assuming it may be a Turkey Gun or something along...

Ok, call me an idiot but, I have several military rifles, and most have two sets of upper sling mounting hooks or whatever you call them. Like the Garand has two, the M1A has two, I think the Smith Corona has two, etc. These are where the sling wraps through and these rifles have two sets on the...

I was thinking about buying some of those Stoner Ar mags from Midway until I got to reading the reviews...specially the latter ones where they were really bagging of them. Are they that bad of a mag? Thoughts?

Back in the day of the AWB I put together a Bushy AR-15, which meant buying a lower, a six position stock, and a 16 Heavy Barreled Flat Top upper, then of course putting it all together. My question is now since the ban is over I would like install a front sight "housing" that has the bayonet...

Well maybe we've been in the dark here or something but today I walked into my local Gun Shop and noticed that some new PMC .223 Ball had came in. It was priced at $399 + tax for 820 rounds for a total of $428. If my math is correct thats roughly .52 a round. Thoughts?

Last week at Wal Mart, while my boys were playing the Guitar Hero demo for the upteenth time, I strolled down the the sporting goods area. I thought I needed to buy some ammo for an upcoming range trip and bought some 9mm and some .45acp. The odd thing was that the guy asked me if it was for a...

Well if your here you know what I'm talking about. So tell us, how do you install the slide stop without leaving the infamous "Idiot Scratch". I myself, after lining up everything, haved always used the wooden end of a big Qtip to push in the plunger and then easily inserting the slide stop. Now...

Stopped by my local Pawn Shop today and was handed a Rock Island Armory in .45. Obviously they know my love of the 1911 platform...:D Anyways, I got to looking over this particular firearm and thought that the price was decent at $335. Then I noticed it had 2 Wilson mags, a Wilson hammer, and...

I was just wondering what methods are used here when one of you guys/gals make a trip to the range. Here it's almost like a trip to Disney Land, sans the big suitcases. The process usually starts 3-4 days ahead of time, asking my kids who wants to go and what day none of them are busy at the...

I was hoping for any input as to the length of time it takes for a rifle shipped parcel post? Said rifle was shipped 10-30-07 and unfortunately I'm still waiting for it to arrive at my FFL. Communication has been superb with the seller and item was insured. My problem is I get no answers with...

I have a chance to buy a Colt Combat Commander in 9mm for a really decent price. The only problem is it's in 60-70 percent condition, with the worst problems being 3 small holes in the top of the slide, that now have small screws in them them. Almost looks like some sort of rail or who knows...

I was thumbing through a recent Cabela's flyer the other day and noticed they had a High Standard 1911 for around $389. I have absolutely no experience with this brand and was wanting to hear good/bad things from anyone who has one or had one.

Due to moving, I am unable to get my large safe down into the basement. It is now out in the garage, secure, and out of sight. I believe I can become comfortable with guns out there in the garage if there was a way to keep the enviroment inside the safe like it would be in the home. I...

The following was sent in an email to me the other day and I thought I would post it here. Maybe you have seen it already, I don't know how old it is, nor do I make any claims as to the authenticity of the author, only that it does seem to make some sense. WHY THE GUN IS CIVILIZATION by...
