Midway, CTD, etc., all sell these Magpul, Tapco, etc., adjustable stocks. Nobody in town actually carries any of them, so I don't know if they're cheap and easily breakable or what. This is my first evil black rifle, so I'm still trying to decide what to get. Your thoughts?

I did a search for Serpa thigh holster and found an airsoft website selling the platform alone for $18.99 compared to the handgun holster sites which seem to start around $40 a piece. Is there any difference in the two platforms? I couldn't find a difference in specs. I want to use it for my...

My Marlin hasn't been ejecting the shells after each shot, and I thought it was simply installed correctly after the last time I cleaned it. I was cleaning it tonight and noticed the sliver spring of the extractor is completely missing. Brownells is out of stock, as is Midway USA. Does...

Wife just gave me a Leupold scope for my 336W for my birthday. I bought some scope rings (the $4 weaver rail with leupold rings.) I took the rifle to the range and guess what. As soon as I fired, the scope mount began to wiggle. I tightened them down and the same thing happened. So a...

I think St. Patrick's Day should coincide with open carry day. I guarantee you nobody would be pinched for not wearing green.

I've carried concealed for about a month. I have an XD45C that I carry in a DeSantis Cozy Partner (leather) IWB holster. I like IWB because I don't really need to wear extra long or baggy shirts/sweaters to conceal. Are there any leather IWB single magazine pouches for a double stack .45...

I finally received my CHL last week and have carried my XD45C in a Desantis Cozy Partner IWB since the minute the card came in the mail. This holiday weekend was a growing experience. Wednesday I drove to meet the wife's family. Wore the gun at 3:30 position the entire drive. I didn't...

I'm in the market for a shotgun and I need a little help with the details. I'm already settled on an 870 Wingmaster 12 ga. I'd like to use it for duck hunting and shooting clay pigeons. Most of what I see online is the 28" or 30" barrels with 2 3/4" or 3" chambered. (Rem doesn't make a...

Many people talk about how ammo for AR-15s is expensive compared to other rifles. I believe (noob) that the .223 is a very common caliber for the AR-15, and is the cheapest caliber of any brand in Cheaper than Dirt (new low prices). Is there something I'm missing? AR-15 =.223 at under $8...

A bow-hunter buddy of mine agreed he'd dwell around us lowlanders and take me deer hunting with rifles tomorrow. I have my license, camo, boots, Marlin 336, Hornady plastic tip .30-30, hunter's orange vest. It'll be my first time deer hunting as the shooter and not observer. Is there...

I'm saving up money to buy one, two, maybe three guns before January 20th. I'm looking at SHTF guns. I'm trying to balance money, reliability, price of ammo. I'd like to buy one for my wife and one for me, and possibly one for use by family members if needed. I'd like them to all be the same...

I don't think Obama will win, but I am planning on him winning. So I'm saving up money to buy one, two, maybe three guns before January 20th. I'm looking at SHTF guns. I'm trying to balance money, reliability, price of ammo. I'd like to buy one for my wife and one for me, and possibly one...

I work downtown and walk to the courthouse nearly every day. Today, a thug with his two thug friends drove by, the driver yelled and pointed at me with his hand formed like a gun and clicked his thumb up and down like a hammer on a pistol. I think it was because I walked in front of him when...

I have a Marlin 336 lever action with iron sights. I am a new shooter. Being a new shooter, I thought it smart to invest in "The Marksmanship Primer" from Palladium Press. The book details the importance of being able to estimate range, elevation, and sight adjustment. My Marlin has the...

I work downtown, and I'm still waiting on my concealed permit. I carry a large laptop satchel across my torso. This morning I walked from my usual drop-off point, and a guy in the usual thug apparel crossed my path. There's an alley around the back end of the library where thug-boy walked as...

Disclaimer: I am not trying to pick a fight, just trying to get some perspective. I think it's safe to assume that many of the LEOs are pro-gun or pro-2nd amendment in that private citizens have the right to bear arms. (If I am wrong, please let me know). If the...

My wife gave me a Marlin 336 for our anniversary last month. It is my first rifle. I'd like to take it deer hunting this fall, so I went to "sight it out". I clicked up the iron sights and got to work, starting at 25 yds, then 50. I soon realized that at 100 yards, the iron sights block out...

I'm a total noob, and this is a total noob question. My cleaning kit came with a bore swab and instructions, but the instructions do not mention the bore swab. My XD and Marlin 336 both come with cleaning instructions and neither mention a bore swab. So what is a bore swab used for?

What is the general consensus regarding the practice of shooting prairie dogs? Is it considered inhumane (a stupid term to apply to an animal)? Is it fun? Sporting? Legal?

As I've posted before, my wife bought a Marlin 336 for me for our anniversary. Right now, I have the ammo in the original boxes, but I fail to see the practical use in the field. This gun doesn't have an external magazine, so a magazine pouch is less than optimal. Is there a good way to...
