    Hi-Standard Dura-Matic M-101; buy or pass?

    The pistol apears to be in good condition. So I am wondering is it a bargain, is it the going rate, or is it overpriced? Also I loved shooting a Victor growing up, but is the Dura-Matic a "buy" or "Pass"?

    I'm looking to updated the scope on my Ruger American .308 and have narrowed the list to 3: The Nikon Monarch 3 3-12 x 42 BDC side focus. Pros: - The scope has decent reviews. - Higher magnification than the others. - Ability to focus the object on the same focal plane as the reticle. - BDC...

    Colt AR15 backhawk

    I saw a Colt AR15 Blackhawk with the accessory kit for $997 new (was $1697). Not having any experience with ARs, this sounds like a good deal to me. Can anyone comment on this rifle/deal?

    Browning B-92 failure

    Picked up a used B-92 and in operating the action, I found that sometimes the hammer does not lock back. I was running snap caps through, but thought it could have been an embarrassing situation. I made sure I was operating the lever to its full range. Has anyone experienced this and does...

    Grip replacement on Sig 1911 Carry

    My Sig 1911 Carry Nitron came with the Ergo XT grips and I want to replace them with some rosewood grips. When I tried to remove the lower screws, threaded bushings stayed attached to the screws so I couldn't separate the screws from the grips. I'm afraid to clamp the bushing with pliers and...

    Still need 1911 recommendation for $750

    I'm still on the fence on which 1911 to buy. I saw a Sig 1911 RCS used on consignment for about 850, but they wouldn't budge on price and since the original receipt in the box says $890, I think my offer was good. Regardless, I am still looking for a 1911, and would like suggestions. I've...

    Value of used Sig Sauer 1911 RCS

    I saw a used Sig 1911 RCS and I love the way it feels and fits my hand. I believe it might be priced high, considering it is used, and therefore has no warranty. What would most people consider a decent price for this gun in very good condition? Although I really like the CCO format, my...

    How do you define "Hoarding ammo"?

    Based on all the discussion about people haring ammo, I am wondering how people define that. I assume it is somewhat dependent on the weapons that typically use the cartridge. For instance a specific number of rounds of 30-06 might be considered to be hoarding, but the same number of rounds of...

    Changing threads

    I posted to a thread that changed overnight. The thread I responded to(after checking it three times was a question about Mossberg 500 plugs but was in the bolt rifle section. In the morning, my suggestion that it be moved to the shotgun forum was attached to a thread about the future cost of...

    I'm wondering if it is possible to modify the existing stock of a Savage Hog Hunter to accept a removable magazine and how difficult it would be.

    .308 vs .30-06

    I'm curious... Is there anything the 30-06 will do (realistically) that the .308 Win won't do? I always assumed the .308 could do anything the 30-06 could do but just had higher pressures and maybe a little more kick since you might need to use slightly faster powder.

    .308 build?

    I was thinking of building a .308 or having one built since I don't see what I am looking for out there as my dream package. I am not looking to spend a fortune (want to be as far below 1k as possible) but want some specific features... Necessary features: .308 Win caliber Bolt action 20"-22"...
