OK, time to kick the hornets nest... ;) After reading lots of posts and advertisements (here and elsewhere), there seems to be little--if any--consensus on cleaning rods. Even reputable manufacturers offer multiple choices of rod materials as if they can't decide which is the best! I've read...

Any recommendations and/or sources? I wish I could have greater capacity mags, but I live in California.

I read in this forum that someone obtained some new Mec-Gar magazines for the Mini-14. I have never used Mec-Gar magazines before, but I have read good things about them. So I was very interested to hear that they were introducing magazines for the Mini. Unfortunately, the claim must have been...

I've been planning to buy a semi-auto, military caliber rifle for past month now and I had pretty much decided on the Mini-14 Ranch (I'm in California so my choices are very limited). But now I'm wondering about the Mini-30. Can anyone discuss the pros and cons for each of these rifles and...

Ok, this started in the Rifle forum. But it piqued my curiousity enough to seek an answer. A number of FFL dealers here in California have a "policy" of collecting state sales tax (on the purchase price of the weapons) for receiving a firearms transfer. This is absolute BS. They are not selling...

I am considering purchasing a Ruger Mini-14. I prefer stainless with a synthetic stock. But I would like to know the difference between the K-Mini-14/5P and the K-Mini-14/5RP? Ruger's Web site (which is remarkably lacking in information) shows identical specs for both models except the...

I live in California and, thanks to the unconstitutional regulations in this state, cannot buy a so-called "assault" rifle. So, I'm planning on going to a gun show this weekend in San Francisco and was thinking I might buy a semi-automatic rifle, probably in .223 caliber. Can anyone recommend...

"The warrant accused Beck of posing as a deputy U.S. marshal and stockpiling weapons, the U.S. Marshals Service said." The charge of impersonating a marshall appears to be a ruse. Go to http://www.foxnews.com for the story.

I'm looking to purchase a Ruger 22/45 pistol for my wife. Can someone recommend a good firearms dealer in the San Francisco Bay Area? I live in Marin so I would perfer a dealer close to the northern part of the Bay Area.

Dr. Michael Brown, member of Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws, writes: "Since even the NRA says the [Second] amendment allows reasonable regulation" This is why I do not support the NRA: through concessions and compromises, they have actively contributed to the gun control quagmire which has...

Hello, I currently live in the People's Republic of California. I would like to purchase a new handgun for my new wife (after just sucessfully introducing her to the sport of "putting holes in pieces of paper" -- and BTW, she is a damn good shot!). But I'm concerned about the possible...

Can anyone recommend a good scope mount for a Remington 870 Marine Magnum--one that does not require gunsmithing or permanent modification to the firearm? Thanks.

Hello all, We've seen the "baby" Glocks. They are very nice, but still too fat for many CC situations. Does anyone know (or heard rumor) of a "micro" Glock (my term) that is slimmer than the current breed of baby Glocks (specifically, the Glock 26)? I'd be willing to sacrifice a few rounds...
