I have a couple of large (I think 350 round in each box) of Speer Gold Dot .40 cal ammo purchased at a gun show. It is labeled "for Practice Only - Not For Carry". Why would it be labeled that way? I can see no difference between that ammo and my carry Gold Dots. It's very accurate, functions...

Help me identify the maker of this rifle. Custom Large Ring Argentina Mauser Action (Berlin Deuschet Waffen) .270 rifle. Purchased at a Gun Show from a Dealer that knew little of the rifle. The rifle is in "hunted" condition and has a Douglas 27" heavy contour air guaged barrel & Target Crown...

Well darn it, I've wanted one of these so I telephoned CDNN today to order or get on a waiting list. I was told "NO" I could not get on a waiting list. The amazing thing was, I was also told the FFL Dealers waiting list through CDNN was now 3 1/2 YEARS LONG. Hard to believe that Keltec designed...

My question is "Why are some steel pistols sprung so heavy compared to plastic ones?" I have both 1911's and several plastic pistols. All my 1911's except the Custom 10x are way too difficult to cycle. Even after thousands of rounds I must cock them to cycle the slide. All the semi-custom...

I just traded for a NIB Glock 21 2nd Gen. .45 cal. Just curious if there were any problems common to this model. I have had many Glocks that I liked, but no 45's. Still have a 19 & 23. If anyone here owns a Model 21 I'd appreciate your comments. Also this one has adjustable sights from the factory.

Well the search has ended!! After half a dozen (or more NEW rifles) I've finally found one that really is accurate. The AWFUL accuracy of the offerring by Remingtons (several), Ruger (several), Savage (Edge) and a motley crew of other BEAUTIFUL rifles that wouldn't hit a bull in the butt. I...

I purchased a Savage Edge in .270 with a 4x16 Centerpoint scope to go on it from Walmart. The price point is really good, the entire combo was $337 not including tax. I like the ergos quite a lot, the rifle handled well, and was not uglier than the rest of plastic stocked rifles out there. The...

I had a totally reliable (over 100 rds Federal 115 gr. HP ammo) Keltec PF-9. That I traded off to a friend in a complex trade. Loved the pistol and will buy another. Point is I never broke the pistol down and cleaned it. When I purchased it, I inspected the bore. Used Rem oil with a dab of...

Guys, I'm an old man, 60 years, and a life long shooter. I also shoot pistols a lot. Today's pistols are better than ever and ACCURATE. But I've had a slew of rifles recently that were so inaccurate it borders on impossible. I purchased a Remington Mountain Rifle that would not shoot for crap...

Have one and like it, however the accuracy is still a problem with the new model. Went from 5-6 inches at 100 yards to 3-4 inches in 40 rounds. If groups would continue to shrink to 2" or so I'd keep the rifle. Anyone here have a 6.8 Ruger with lots of rounds down the tube? I've read internet...

I have owned and shot a lot of rifles. All except one was accurate enough to hunt with. Some would shoot 1 MOA or close to it. I have a friend that is a CZ Dealer. They sell them, mount optics, and sight them in for customers. He told me that they have not had one that shot larger groups than 1"...

I purchased a CZ 550 American in 30-06. I then purchased a inexpensive scope a "SOMI" 3 x 12 with 42mm bell. The scope is named after the legendary Finnish sniper "Somi Hayha" during the Russian invasion in WWII. The little guy (from pictures less than 5' and probably 90 lbs covered with snow)...

I purchased a Savage MKII blued heavy barrel w/ laminated stock (not the thumbhole stock) in .22 caliber. I'm curious as to what is considered "good" groups for a .22 at 20 yards w/scope. I am shooting 6 round groups largest are dime size, with some less than a dime. I'm shooting Federal bulk...

I spoke with a firearms instructor for Home Land Security this week. Apparently they are issued H&K's 9mm. I understood him to say they were having problems as the "take down pin" (which may also serve some other function ie slide stop/safety. I'm not familiar with them as I've not owned one)...

I'm stumped. I purchased used but as new Rem. Mountain Rifle BDL in 30-06. Beautiful, light, slim - everything I like. But is it ever a dog in the accuracy department!! I've tried multiple scopes, new bases, lock tite everything, inspected crown, etc.etc. And fired every grain bullet from Rem...

I have many .45 magazines from several manufactuers. I purchased one of the new Wilson Combat Elite magazines and compared function, loading, quality, etc. The Wilson's cost $35-$40 each and they are worth it. I now own 5 and feel the money was well spent. Just the ease of loading is remarkable...

Being unable to make the range to fire the new Custom 1911 I just received. I thought I'd cycle the action to hand feed a few rounds by slingshotting the slide. Big disapointment!! A large number of rounds nose dived and jammed from all 4 "tuned" McCormick mags supplied with the pistol. Is there...

I just received my new Custom 1911, built from the ground up with every part specified by me. I haven't fired it yet but the Smith has. Test target is 5 rounds, 3 through the same hole with 2 flyers (1 1/2 inch at 25 yds. group, hand held across a sand bag). On inspecting the pistol I noticed...

I'm having another custom pistol built. My Smith only does the newer high tech type finishes. I want a high polish carbona blue on the pistol Turnbull and others quote about $250 but that does not include polishing. I understand that a very high polish cost several hundreds of dollars. Can...

Being the idiot I am, I'm having another custom .45 built. My Gun Smith only does the newer high tech finishes I dis-like. So I'm looking for a very high polish carbona blue. Turnbull and others I've found quote about $250 - but that does not include polishing. Seems some also want several...
