I am in Texas and a friend moved here last year from Canada. He's about to have a kid and I've been teasing him about getting a generator and a shotgun for hurricane season. If I gift him a shotgun, I'd like to make sure it's Canadia legal (Alberta specifically) in case the company ships him...

Actually, just the care part, I think I can figure out what to feed them.... :) Anyway, I noticed S&W is bringing back some nickel finished revolvers. I've been thinking about a piece for range fun and home defense (or maybe just range fun and safe queen). But I don't know anything about...

I have a 700BDL with the super glossy epoxy? finish from the mid-70's. The checkering on the left side of the rifle is dark like the rest of the stock, but on the right side it is light tan like it has no finish. Probably layed on the same side under my Dad's bed for most of those 30 years...

I have borrowed my brother's S&W 1000 series 12 gauge gas gun that was made in the 80's or 90's. Says made in Japan. He bought it used mostly because he got a very good deal on it from a friend of his who owned a bunch of pawn shops. He's almost never shot it, and has never cleaned it. I ran 3...

I'm looking for a bipod for my Remington 700BDL. Does anyone use this combo, or know if it will in any way mar the super glossy finish on the stock? Thanks!

OK, so I got my rifle back from the smith. It had a small burr from the factory that was leaving scratches on cases, and the my smith took care of it from me. Anyway, I get it back and the bolt action felt a little 'gritty'. Definitely not smooth. So I cleaned out the action and lubed it with a...

I found this while surfing the net: http://www.huntingmag.com/guns_loads/HMbul_0905/index1.html Great photo comparison of various hunting bullets.

I am looking at a Remington 700 LV SF in .223 as a rifle to get me into medium range target shooting (300yds-500yds). Shooting my .270 from the bench w/o a recoil pad I'm developing a flinch. My .270 is a Rem 700 BDL with a curved hard plastic butt. I am also considering a .243, but am not...

Dad just got me an early birthday present - a Remington 700 BDL in .270 Winchester with a 4x12 40mm scope. It's pretty spiffy :) Anyway, I am looking for a recoil pad that does NOT require modification of the butt stock. The BDL has a curved butt plate and I'm looking for a direct drop-in...

Someone asked on this forum a few months back what type of shotguns are used at the really high levels of competition. My dad's secretary was on the Olympic team in '04 and competes. She stopped by the house last week and she said the most common are Perazzis and Berettas and that she would...

I live in Texas. Are records of firearms purchases or NICS checks kept? What happens if you don't pass the NICS check? Is a record kept then? Please note that I am not a felon and I am (or should be at least by my understanding of the law) able to purchase a firearm.

It looked like an SP101 to me but there was a shot where the cylinder release didn't look right. I saw it in an IMAX fyi. It was exceptionally awesome. And nice to see a revolver getting some playtime in an action movie :)

I can shoot a semi with 'good enough' accuracy for self defense. By which I mean I can easily hit a man-sized target @ 15 yards. But I also shoot a S&W 686 so well that, with .38 loads in single action, my date thought I was missing the target at 15 yards (holes overlapping in the bulls-eye...

I saw a video here I believe of a Mosin-Nagant revolver that had the cylinder move forward to seal the barrel/cylinder gap when fired. Why don't modern revolvers do this? It would seem an easy way to get better ballistic performance.

Hi, I am on some long-term medication that causes a nice, deep sleep. It is not one of the common sleep aids, just something that has this as a side effect. I've been on it for over a year and will likely remain on it. Anytime I am awoken in the middle of the night I am, well, sort of mildly...

My hopes and thoughts for all those affected by this tragedy. I hope this isn't too early, but does anyone know what weapon and/or ammunition was used in the TN church shooting? Two murdered and seven injured at close range with a shotgun is surprising. Birdshot? Bad aim? Details are sketchy...

First off, I hate cleaning semiautos. Benelli is supposed to be more like traditional break-opens in cleaning because they have no gas system. Are they really that clean? The other reasons I'm looking at them is I love nicely finished high quality guns and they are supposed to be extremely...

Does anyone have a recommendation for an aftermarket recoil pad for a Remington 700 in .270? It's an older model (my father's deer rifle he bought perhaps 25 years ago) and, if I recall, only has a plastic or metal butt plate. Thanks!
