Someone had to bring this up :) Brendan Fraser had a sawn off lever-action 12 gauge that I'm fairly sure fed from a tube mag. Lever action, with a WAY big lever loop. Most of the guns in the movie looked British (I think the rifles were enfields, subs were stens). I know little about...

I've been using shooter's choice, switched back to hoppes (only hoppes benchrest copper-cleaner). I leave it wet with hoppes as per directions after I get it clean as I can, and reclean the next day, and usually get more out. While cleaning (pass 1) a different gun, I passed a wet patch...

I don't (yet) hunt. However, I don't really want to go after Deer. I've heard Coyote have been a problem on/off, and that people hunt them for money. I don't want any money; but is there any sort of arrangement though which someone can go hunt them and just leave them where they lay? I don't...

I just bought a 30.06 Rem 700 - I suspect it's been on the shelf for a VERY long time (it was suggested, 2 years). Point is, I have the receipt for it (it was ridiculously discounted) the box, the video. There is no warranty card - I suspect that the box ORIGINALLY had one but I don't. Would...

Is a single-action trigger not the easiest to shoot? And is not the first shot the most important? The 1911's single-action trigger is straight back - no compromises coming from tilting around a pivot, nor from having to perform a dual role well (double-action shot through one finger...

This is for a Winchester 1300 defender with fiber-optic front sight What's a cheap ghost ring? I know of MMC; but that's all I can find, and they aren't so cheap. Do they cost much to have mounted? BTW - regardless of whether or not this is an improvement, at very least this would mean the...

A friend in Australia has one; but it's way too short (especially as he's a real large guy) - built for the lowest common denominator. The gun is chambered in 222, so recoil padding is almost a hindrance. The stock is REAL thin, even at the back; but I think it's the one used in the US too...

I'm thinking of diversifying into the HK line - I know of places where I can pretty much buy anything but receiver of a Glock or 1911. I'm not expecting the same availability on the HK as on these; but does anyone know of ANYWHERE online that is the equivalent of glockmeister for HK USPs...

This is on a kimber compact (bull barrel). The barrel link can move side-side, and I can get a little tilt on it. Is that something worth worrying about? The gun assembles okay, and it stays locked perfectly when the slide is closed. However, when firing, could this cause battering that...

Today I looked at various surplus mausers. A couple (that I otherwise liked) amongst a group with which I found various flaws had loose bolts (while others, tight). That is, with bolt closed I could wiggle the back side to side. Is this worth worrying about? Does this hurt accuracy/function...

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Is there a good technique for top-feeding a single round into the gun? Preferably with the magazine in place (so the holdopen will stop it slamming home without a shell). It looks like racking the extractor down on a round is kind of bad. Pushing a round...

I have an M1A loaded. (Before I get into reloading for it) I would like to try out some different factory loads. So far I've only been shooting surplus Radway Green, and believe the ammo is now an (accuracy) limitation. No higher than 168gr, right? I have heard of bent oprods and heavy wear...

I am after a new boltaction 22. Reliable, mag-fed. . . . Something that (someday) may be (legally) suppressed - i.e. can be threaded without messing it up. Something good for plinking, that can have a scope mounted without too much cash outlay (or gun smithing), and with reasonable parts...

http://www.springfield-armory.com/new_load.html I see a disassembly tool, an "M1A" gadget (glorified screwdriver?), Shell extractor, Flash suppressor alignment tool (is this needed to pull/attach my own FS, or a new one?), and M1A pliers (for disassembly of Flash Suppressor). Also, which...

Thinking of scoping, small scope mounted as low as possible with low rings on an arms mount (have mount, waiting on scope). But I WILL need some lift - I mounted a scope temporariliy and saw that. The gun is black fiberglass - I'd prefer black/dark colors. There's the eagle stock pack at...

I have a no-zoom Aimpoint Comp ML on a FAL and love it. Am thinking of the 5000 2x on an M1A, for a little better long-distance view. Has anyone ever tried it? Does it "work" well? any comments appreciated. thanks, Battler.

I just got a full-sized Loaded M1A and am looking at the scope mount options (and hearing what bad ones were out there). Has anyone used the fore-grip Springfield scope mount? Is it any good? If it works well, I prefer forward scopes; but I DO wonder whether or not it can be secured up there...

I have a springfield M1A on order, and was wondering with all i read - are these parts still being made or are they just military leftovers? Eventual gun bans aside, will they keep making spares for these, or do I have to spend a ton buying spare parts now that I may or may not use? thanks...

I have a "Loaded" springfield M1A on the way. This gun must be cleaned from the muzzle if I use a rod. On my milsurp rifles, I have been using the bore-snake. I like it a lot - and prefer it to using a cleaning rod from an ease-of-use standpoint. However, this will be a brand new barrel, and...

I was talking to a local dealer - 'bout how I wanted to order another FAL. When the topic turned to the amount I had payed/was probably going to pay for another they went nuts. Now, I have a (great) smith-built FAL that cost over 1K; but it looks and works GREAT and it's a blast to go and...
