OK, the question is: You are allowed to have a single cleaner/lube for all of your guns. For the sake of argument, this means it must be used on a 1911, an AR, an AK, an LCP, a Ruger Vaquero, and a K98k Mauser. Which do you pick of these three: Ballistol, Hoppes No9, or ATF? Why?

As per title. In the process of looking at houses, we've seen many places where the sound of gunfire would annoy the neighbors. We've put in an offer at a place where this may or may not be an issue, but I've been devoting a few braincells to the issue anyway. At the moment, I have two 22LR...

I've been shooting more than usual lately and I just can't get over the difference in effective accuracy between rifles and pistols when it comes to rapid fire. This, plus my wife has been talking about wanting to get more comfortable with carrying/shooting. Which brings me to the title, who...

So, I have been looking at the 147gr. 9mm rounds that have gotten a bit more popular lately, and I was wondering what people thought of them. I like the idea of avoiding the sonic-boom to prevent hearing loss (or at least lessen it) and I'm not averse to heavy bullets, but I'm not sure what...

I have been thinking lately about trying to get into the gun business after we find a house and settle down. Where I live, there seems to be a distinct shortage of top-notch gun shops. None of them seem interested in helping you make the best choice, offering advice, or any kind of customer...

I just found out that I'm getting a CZ-75B in Matte Stainless for my birthday! So, what I want to know is, what do all the CZ-75B owners out there have for their guns that they think is great? Holsters? Sights? Springs? What is that little thing that makes your CZ-75B just a smidgen better...

Hey everybody, I wrote an email to Keltec last night asking about production and availability of the PMR-30 since several of us here at my place of employment are chomping at the bit to get one. In just a smidgen over 12 hours (I wrote the email at like 11pm) I had a reply. Apparently they...

What kind of prices has everybody been seeing on the run-of-the-mill m59/66 Yugos lately? The gun shows here have been ridiculous, the prices usually run from $375 for a mediocre one to $575 (!!!) for an "unissued" Yugo. Russians are not to be had for less than $500 when they're available at...

Wow, just held a CZ-75 for the first time in a pawn shop, and I was floored! It fit my hand like it was made for me, and the steel frame was a far cry from the polyer ones I'm used to seeing. Are they all like that, like they molded your palm to make the grip? If they are, a beautiful love...

I've been trying for literally months now to get ahold of a crowning tool for use on SKS and Mosin-Nagant rifles. If you don't want to spend $150+ you're up a creek, because everybody is sold out completely! I've tried google, brownells, and midway... I'm not sure what else to do. It's held...

Matching controls for defense pistols So, I recently got a Sig p238 which is going to be my primary pistol from here on out. For those of you who don't know, it operates as God and JMB intended: SA only, with the safety and mag release placed like the 1911. My problem is, that's totally...

I have a co-worker that was talking yesterday about getting an AR. The thing is, he's waffling about getting it in 223 or 22lr and he said its primary duty will be to hang accessories from. Then he turns around and says that he wants to be able to use the stuff on it. Seriously, how many...

I picked this up at a recent gunshow, and my Dad liked it so much he bought one exactly like it. Apparently HD models (frame is stainless too rather than aluminum) are like hen's teeth in Virginia, so he had a heck of a time finding one. Anyway pictures before chatter: Personally, I...

Please excuse any diaplays of ignorance here... but I was looking at the revolver calibers and wondering why there isn't a longer cased version of the 357. The bullets are wide enough to expand effectively, and I'm pretty sure there would be demand for a hunting revolver that had more power...

My Dad has taken a fancy to SKS rifles, and looks to me to help him with the assorted goodies and modifications that make shooting fun. Regarding accuracy, I'm trying to figure out the most effective modifications to make to the rifle to shrink group size besides using expensive brass-cased...

As per title. My Dad asked me about the possibility of using an SKS for deer hunting, and I want to make sure I'm not leading him wrong. The Sportsman's Guide SAYS that he HP Golden Bear, Brown Bear, Wolf, etc. ammo will expand on impact, but I'm not sure I believe it. Can anybody verify...

I've been trying to work out a 4-gun set for practical hunting in the event that I need to put meat on the table. I already have half the equation: two fine 22lr, one Ruger Mark III Hunter (soon to be a Mark 2.5) and a CZ 452 Lux (28" barrel). Those should be more than sufficient for hunting...

I have been waffling worse than Obama on the campaign trail for the last week trying to figure out what my next rifle purchase is going to be. While I don't hunt now, I want to get a rifle that I can learn to be proficient with so I can hunt the local whitetails if the need arises. I'm...

As per title - since it seems that there are actually good reasons based on physics rather than marketing to use expanding bullets, I want to make sure I have a stock of ammo appropriate for hunting deer and bear (the largest game in my area) if the need ever arose. I read on another forum of a...

... on the idea that hunting with FMJ is inhumane. I'll tell you why, but before I do let me say this: It's illegal in some places to hunt with FMJ bullets, I already know this. It's not everywhere, like Virginia (.23 caliber or larger with 350lbs-ft. ME) so please keep your lawyers in their...
