I took my Kimber Micro 9 to a local gunsmith to have them order and install tritium night sights. Long story short: 2 weeks and some bad business practices later I finally have my slide and my money back. However, they removed or partially removed the old sights, leaving the weapon in a less...

I have this crazy idea of building a cheap AR to keep in my vehicle. An AR pistol with a 10.5” barrel is just a little too long for where I want to keep it so I plan on building one with a 7.5” barrel. The excuse is is that I need an AR to go with the 9mm and the SHTF bag I already keep in the...

So I was given 103 rounds of this stuff on links a few days ago. I'm guessing it's 7.62 NATO blanks, but I really don't have a clue. All of the blanks I've ever seen were crimped at the top. Anyone know what it is? The other bullet is a 30-06 for comparison.

Recently I've noticed several Mausers and Steyr M95 rifles that have what looks like a hand written serial number etched into the metal instead of a formed stamped number. Most of these appear on the bolt. Many times it's obvious that these cover up another serial number and the handwritten one...

I'm aware that a gunsmith can re-stamp a serial number, but what if it's an old serial number and not the current one? Can I restamp it myself? I have a Steyr M-95 that has a new and different serial number laser etched from the importer. The old serial number on the bolt matches the barrel...

Looking at a few of these and I'm wondering what the difference in safeties is. Some have a push button safety while others have a thumb safety. Did Beretta switch from the button to the tumb? If so when? Any other info on the gun would also be appreciated.

Just playing with a little idea and I thought I would ask folks on here. How much would you pay someone to clean your guns? The price being per gun, and the person is just doing this out of their home on the weekends, but they do a pretty darn good job :D

*This image was captured using a remote switch, all safety rules were followed :D

This is NOT related to recent events. I tried to look it up myself but due to the recent events all google gave me was news stories and conflicting information. So here's the question: My wife and I will be taking a trip to see the Grand Canyon sometime this year. We are both Texas residents...

Just a quick question: If I buy a Rossi single shot rifle (specifically this one: http://www.rossiusa.com/product-details.cfm?id=193&category=2&toggle=&breadcrumbseries= ) can I buy other barrels later, such as the .44 Mag, the .223, the 12 ga, etc, and just put them on this gun? I looked all...

Looking at an ad for an M1 Carbine, seller says it's made by Iver Johnson Arms. Anyone know an approximate value for one with a 30 round magazine? Condition seems good except a little rust on the barrel and the rear sight is broken. Anything specific with these guns I should look for when I...

So here's the story: A local pawn shop had this rifle for sale with a tag that read "Mosin Nagant 7.65m $89.99". Obviously this isn't a Mosin Nagant (unless there's some type of Mauser/MN rifle I never heard about). When I asked to see it the young lady told me she'd give it to me for $75. I...

A local pawn shop has a Mauser rifle of some type or copy for sale at a pretty nice price, I think this is partly because they have it labled as a Mosin Nagant, which it is obviously not. So I know nothing of Mausers except that they're popular, and there are many different makers and copies...

Just got back from my second time shooting my SU-16C and it's no bueno. The rifle is accurate and I like it, but it's just not reliable. First Session: Bought it used, took it right to the range and sent about 120 rounds of Monarch .223 Remington FMJ Steel Case through it. Everything worked...

Picked up a used Kel Tec SU-16C about a week ago and I'm trying to find an online owner's manual I can download or print. I checked Kel Tec's website but the only one I saw was for the A model. If anyone knows where I can get one I would be very thankful!

I plan on doing a pretty extensive, non biased, test on as many different JHP's and other self defence rounds as I can. Just to see what works under diffferent conditions and what doesn't. They'll be tested for expansion, penetration, lethal penetration after going through obstacle, and a few...

Friend of mine asked me about a handgun called an American Tactical AT92. Google confirmed what I figured from the name. It looks like a cheap knockoff of a Beretta 92FS. Anyone here have any experience good or bad with one of these? He says he can get one for $200.

... but some fellow co-workers won't let up until I give them an answer so I figured I would ask the experts here. Is there any legal way for one to own an AA-12? Are they even in production yet or still in the development stage? Thanks, and I'm sorry.

Just wondering if anyone knew what the slowest factory made bullet in any of the following calibers was. I need something that is safe to fire in automatic firearms, I can buy in a store or online, but moves really really slow (compared to other bullets). .380, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 12 gauge...

Ran across this while viewing other linked videos. *NOTE*: I am not endorsing the main purpose of the video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNVJCAFmkUs&feature=related True, I don't know what safety precautions he took before the video began. I just figured I would post an example of...
