Hey guys. Tried to install a new Magpul forend onto my 12 gauge 870. Everything went together fine, but the forend won't slide over the receiver when you pull the pump/slide back. It's like it was made for a narrower receiver... which doesn't make sense. What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys, Recently got my hands on a Rem Model 700 in 250 Savage. I'd like to "Ackley Improve" it. Here's the question. Is this something I can do myself? If not, how do I go about making this happen? I called my local gunsmith and he quoted me $350 to do it... which is crazy because I could...

Hey guys, I have a simple question for you all: At 200 yards or less, would you rather shoot a deer with a 243 Winchester or a 358 Winchester? Which (do you think) would put the deer down faster, assuming hits in the same exact location? There are a lot of ways to think about the big and...

Hey guys, looking for some recommendations for a smith than can do some fairly straightforward work on a rifle build. We only have one “reputable” smith in our area and I’ve had two unfortunate experiences with him, so I’m looking elsewhere. Basically, I’m looking to build a 6.5-06 on a...

Hey guys, I have a CZ 550 in 6.5x55 that I want to convert to 9x57 Mauser. Here's the catch, I don't want to re-barrel or set the barrel back at all. Hoping to just rebore and rechamber. Would it be as simple as: - Have JES Rebore/rerifle the barrel to .358 (so I can use standard 35 caliber...

Hey, any of you guys ever hunted with Hammer bullets? I've been looking for a non-lead bullet that would come apart on a lung shot (like traditional lead does) and Hammer seems to be a good solution, but I can't find hardly any folks that have used them. Would love some real world...

Hey guys, I know most of you are probably sick of caliber discussions, but I'm a hopeless sucker for these sorts of threads... and hopefully I can suck you in. Here's the scoop. I have recently (after years of slow and steady pressure) gotten my wife into hunting. She's been shooting with me...

Hey everyone, would love your thoughts. I'm just getting into USPSA and intend to compete in the Production division. I have a CZ P01 that I love and will be competing with to start... until I decide what I really want to compete with and then I'll buy that. That's what my question is about...

Hey guys, I'm in the process of purchasing a S&W Model 13, which I'm very excited about, and I plan to carry it on occasion. Most often I'll be carrying it out on my property and such, but I'd also like to be able to conceal carry it if the mood strikes. Looking for holster recommendations...

Hey guys, I have never carried a pistol in my pocket, but I'd like to give it a try. I find that there are situations in which I simply cannot conceal a pistol on my belt, and want a backup option for those special occasions. Here are my questions: 1. Does any of you actually pocket carry on a...

I recently purchased a used (2004) CZ 550 Lux in 6.5x55. It's a beautiful rifle and shoots great... but there's a huge problem with getting a round to chamber. The bolt will go forward about 80% of the way, then get stuck and I'll have to ram it really hard to push the round forward all the way...

I'm in the hunt for a new bolt gun and am looking for something with: - fiberglass/kevlar/cf stock (it has to be thin in the wrist and forend) - stainless everything (cerakoted stainless is fine) - around 6-6.5 pounds bare - if I could get a DBM, that would be great (hinged floorplate is an ok...

Hey guys and girls, I'm a big fan of DA/SA pistols. I love being able to "thumb the hammer" when holstering my guns, both for CCW and especially when running drills at the range. It's a personal thing, I have very little interest in shooting myself in the leg, as unlikely as that is. But I also...

Hey, recently picked up a USGI M1 Carbine (Underwood) in good shape. It's a 1943 manufacture date, and runs and cycles great. Except... It heats up really, really fast. If I shoot 20 rounds through it in less than a couple minutes or so, the barrel and action will be so hot you can't really...

The question is, when do you start losing sleep in preparation for deer season? Our bow season here in upstate NY starts the beginning of October, and gun opens up mid November. I'm already laying in bed with visions of scope reticles and hapless deer dancing in my head. Which guns will I...

I know there are lots of DBM systems available for the Remington 700, but they all seem to stick way down below the bottom of the stock, which is not really practical on a hunting rifle. Can anyone point me towards a high quality mag system for a short action Model 700 that is truly flush fit...

Experienced something very unusual at the range the other day: The Gun: M&P9c with Apex Trigger kit The Issue: I shot the gun myself, with absolutely no problems. Then my wife shot it, and was getting light primer strikes on almost every single round. She'd pull the trigger, the gun would go...

Ok, this might be a bit far fetched, but hear me out. Would it be possible to take a CZ 527 in 223 and convert it to shoot 9x19 handgun ammo? Now, since I know some of you will ask “why do you want that?” and that’s a valid question, here’s why. I want a bolt action rifle to train my wife...

I'm a huge CZ fanboy and was eagerly anticipating the release of a NY compliant version of the new P-10c. Got the email notification that they were (finally) in stock at an online retailer and bought one less than 30 seconds later. Well, brought it out to shoot yesterday and was very...

Looking for some input. This is probably a rookie question, but I'm desperate. I have a few guns that, despite my best efforts, I can't seem to get the scopes mounted perfect in line with the bore of the rifle. Several of my scopes are visibly out of line with the barrel. What am I doing...
