I have been looking for a little .22 pistol for a while now and after shooting cartidges such as .308, .44 Rem Mag, and .50AE I was thinking a little .22LR might be a welcome change for my wallet. The little Sig Sauer Mosquito with a threaded barrel cought my eye, it would fit the bill to a T...

I just received my NIB Springfield Armory M1A Squad Scout and bought a couple 20 rounds mags and VERY nice case for it. I gotta say she is everything I hoped she would be and then some.:D I do have some questions though and I was hoping you guys could inform a newb. Firstly I noticed that when...

I asked this question a while ago but I'm not sure I worded it right and I only got one response. What I was wondering and what I thought would be a cool thread is if people would post up how they have customized their guns. Specifically what I had in mind is something like what is in the...

I recently put a down payment on an M1A Squad Scout with a black stock. I was told going into the deal knowing that it could be some time before I would be able to pick up the rifle. I was thinking a month or maybe two but when I called up Springfield they said it might 8 months to a year before...

M1A Pricing A dealer close to me has a NIB Scout Squad 18" M1A for $1,652 out the door. I have been looking for an M1A for an EBR build for over a year now. This seems like a great deal. Should I grab it?

Personal Touches The title pretty well sums it up. I'm sure we've all seen picture like this: see attachment. (I can't seem to get a picture to appear just onscreen to save my life...) I was wondering if anyone has pictures of their own personal gimicks that might be kinda fun. I am thinking...

I'm looking to drop an M1A into an EBR and can't decide how I want to set it up after I get it. I was hoping I could see some of yours and get an idea of how I want to set it up. There is already a thread for another kind of EBR but I was looking for something besides the traditional Evil Black...

There is a local pawn shop where I live that has a Colt King Cobra (6" barrel with a nicekl finish) for sale. They are asking $750 firm but I got to be honest I'm not sure its worth that, not even close really. The thing looks like it was intentionally abused and was apparently rarely if ever...

So I got a question about hot to get a Streamlight TLR-1 to stay on the picatinny mounting rail of an M9A1. I am using the Beretta adaptor that came with it and had tightened it down so hard that I actually worried about stripping out the threads on the adjustment screw. After about 50 rounds...

I wasn't sure whether to put this in the Rifle Forum or here but obviously I ended up here. Anyway when I bought my 91/30 a couple weeks ago it came with 2 belt ammo packs (one had an oiler bottle in it) that were so stiff I never did get one of them to open. I assume this is due to age but...

The title pretty well sums it up really. At a gun show today I picked up a hex receiver 91/30 for $60. Part of the reason I got it so cheap was the wood stock looks like it got put through a wood chipper. Anyone have any experiance with replacement stocks? I was thinking synthetic cause I'm 6'5...

I searched the forums and there are literally dozens of threads on this topic but so far as I can tell they all compare and ask for input about which gloves are best. My question is different: How much difference do gloves really make when shooting be it a day at the range or competitively...

I was watching a rerun of "Sons of Guns" the other day and it was mentioned that Vince (I don't think he works at Red Jacket anymore) was the only certified, as in got a certification proving it, gunsmith in the shop. This struck me as odd cause I did not realize there was such a thing. I...

You see this in old westren movies a lot. The hero fires and spin cocks a lever action in one hand while saving the girl with the other. I was wondering what the best rifle for this might be. I was thinking along the lines of a Winchester 92 or 94 but its only speculation. I ask because I...

Title pretty well sums it up really. Does anyone know where I can find a chart that will tell what a caliber translates in the metric system? A few I know for sure are that a 9mm = .36 and a .50 = 12.7mm

I have a problem and I was hoping that you guys could give me a few ideas. Over the last couple of years I have aquired a large number of accesories for firearms as well as cleaning supplies and a reloading kit for shotgun shells. Problem is that it finally occured to me that I have never...

After a search I couldn't find what I was looking for so here goes. Can anyone give me a detailed description of the differences in the various AR-15/M16 designations? For example I know that an XM16E1 differs from an M16A1 but I'm not exactly sure how. I also know that among the various...

After a search of the threads I didn't find anything that was exactly what I was looking for. I am looking for a shoulder holster for a Beretta M9A1 with a Surefire TLR-1 tactical light. I have found many options for Beretta's 90 series pistols but none with accesories. Anyone know of such a...

I have eaten just about everything you can hunt from rabbit to elk but I have never hunted squirrel. I was hoping someone here could enlighten me as to the best method to go about this and keeping the meat edible at the same time. My first thought was my .22 with FMJ rounds (what I usually use...

The title pretty well sums it up. When I got my M1 Garand in September I was happy as could be and couldn't wait to get it to the range. Since than I have become almost afraid of it. Seems like every time I take it out I hear from some old gun nut that it MUST be fed the right ammo that MUST...
