    Marlin 1894SS

    Looking in the new Marlin catalog and I came across the 1894SS(stainless steel)---looks good in the picture and getting real close to wanting one. Does anyone actually own one of these and could they give us a range report?? Thanks

    Due to recent trades etc.--I didn't have any handguns. I bought a new .45 last tues and a new 9mm yesterday---same retailer. When I bought the 2nd one a special form was filled out--in triplicate to Big Brother(DOJ)--listing the pistols info and purchase dates etc. So now am I the subject of...

    I got me a new Colt today.

    It's a stainless Combat Commander XS---not XSE---not the lightweight(they did have one in the case though). I knew I was looking at a good gun----I just didn't know how good until i did a search here and the 1911 forum. My buddy kept on telling me Kimber-Kimber-Kimber and how bad Colts were...

    Is anyone else fickle??

    I went to get my 700 Mountain Rifle off lay-a-way and to put a Kimber .45 on lay-a-way------And wound up with a half paid for Cooper Model 22 Scheel's Varminter(Montana Varminter) in .22-250 on lay-a-way. The Scheel's name is actually part of the serial number. No Mountain Rifle-No .45...

    Feeding the Oddballs.

    First of all---I don't handload---been there-done that-I just find it tedious and boring----that's just me. How many of you have not bought a gun or got rid of a gun because it was an "oddball" caliber? Years ago--I had a 700 Mountain Rifle in .7mm-08---I got rid of it because there were only...

    Which Caliber for Predators???

    I'm looking to get into coyote hunting but all I have right now are rifles in big-game calibers and I'm not really looking to blow the little song dogs to bits. I'm also not really wanting to sink a bunch of money into a predator rifle-since there are a bunch of dollars sunk into my other...

    Winchster Triggers

    Winchester Triggers I just got a NIB Winchester Model 70 Classic Super Grade in 7mm Rem mag today. This gun is beautiful and the stock is simply unbelievable. Sadly-the trigger is horrible and breaks cleanly at 7 1/2 lbs. Can I adjust this myself or is this a job better left to the gunsmith...

    Which .45?

    I'm kind of thinking I want another .45----already have a Sig P220. The .45's will more than likely be a house or target gun. Here's the 3 I've been looking----Berreta Cougar .45-----Glock 30 or 36------Sig P245. Sorry 1911 guys---been there--done that----just not for me. Berreta---Seems a...

    How to go about a transfer with fellow TFL'er??

    The search function isn't working. I offered a pistol for sale within the last few days---and have received e-mails from interested buyers. The question is: How do I go about an out-of-state sale----without getting burned either on the money end or if the pistol would happen to wind up in a...

    AWR horror story Pt. II----back from the Butcher

    My buddy got his AWR back from being rebarreled. This was a Custom Shop Remington that would'nt hit the broad side of a barn in .300 Ultra for over a $1000. Anyway--this so called gunsmith----ruined the nice kevlar stock with vice-grip marks all over it---bedding compound all over it----scraped...

    Kahr polymer 9mm

    I'm looking for a new compact 9mm----and the only one that has tripped my trigger so far is the Kahr polymer 9mm. I like the Kahr so far for the light weight and it seems like a quality piece. Any good or bad experience with Kahr? Likes and dislikes on the features?? Suggestions for something...

    Is the .260 Rem considered an accurate cartridge??

    After spending last Saturday at the range---I dumped my .270 and put a stainless Model 7 in .260 on lay-a-way. The .270's accuracy was respectable enough----it's just that I've been spoiled by my other rifles that will put em in one hole or touching if I do my part. I also have plenty of other...

    Baikal SxS----Any Good?

    I saw a Baikal 12ga SxS at the dealer for $299---it has choke tubes---single selective trigger---selective ejectors---26in barrels---and some decent looking wood--although the wood to metal fit wasn't the best--but for $299---what the heck. Are these any good?? Could I expect this to last a...

    Browning BPS 28ga

    The local dealer has a Browning BPS 28ga with a 26'' barrel for $369 NIB that I've been looking at. This gun has very nice stock(well for a BPS it does)--much nicer than all the other BPS's in the store--with quite a bit of figure. I don't have any experience with a 28ga---only 12-16-and 20...

    B-Square Mounts for M-44---Any Good??

    I see that CDNN has B-Square scope mounts for old military rifles for $39.99. Are these any good??---Or should I look at something else for my Polish M-44 carbine? Thanks.

    .40 S & W---muzzle energy and velocity????

    I know it's a rifle----but it does use a "pistol" cartridge and I'm not getting any help over on the rifle side. I have a Ruger PC4 carbine in .40 S & W on lay-a-way and would like to know what kind of muzzle velocity and energy I can expect from the rifle barrel (16 1/4 in). Assuming I'm...

    So far---So good

    Last Saturday I took a chance and bought a Charles Daly 20ga. automatic at Wally's for $299. This gun is VERY lightweight and handles like a dream. I looked on their web site and it says that the automatics use the Rem-choke system----so if I ever happen to lose one of the chokes, I can...

    Ruger PC4 questions

    I put a Ruger PC4 carbine chambered in .40 *&* on lay-a-way and have a few questions before I actually buy it. I looked in the box and no scope rings were included----the carbine has Ruger's scope mounting system so I figured they would be included----the dealer said it didn't come with them...
