I used some left over mahogany to build a box/stand to hold my gun cleaning supplies and support rifles while cleaning them. I left it unfinished. But now after cleaning my firearms a few times on it, it has absorbed a few stains of Hoppes 9, Brakefree CLP, etc. Now I am regretting that I was...

I've been looking for a pump shotgun for pheasant, duck, geese, turkey, trap, and home defense. I'm down to two finalists in my search: 1) Winchester 1300, excellent condition, 28" barrel, screw in chokes, handles up to 3"shells, $250. 2) Remington Wingmaster, fair condition with some rust...

A few of us guys are having a debate about. A friend of mine saw an old SxS that had stamped on it not to use slugs in it and we were wondering why. One guess is that the two barrels will hit at different points of impact. The other camp says that that would not be enough to warrant a warning...

A friend of a friend is looking to trade his Blackhawk in 44 mag for my Glock 30. I was wondering if anybody could give me their thoughts on this and maybe some things to look out for when checking the Blackhawk out. I don't know what barrel length or finish it is in. The reason I am...

Will this ammo be good enough for home defense out of a 4 inch barrel? I just bought the gun and don't want to spend too much on ammo right now; this stuff is on sale at Midway. What are the drawbacks of this cheaper ammo? Thanks everyone. It seems to perform pretty well in this video...

Tomorrow I'll be picking up my new GP100 and now I am trying to decide on a holster. It will be only used for open carry while hiking/hunting/camping. I live in California so CCW is not an option. I like the Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake and the Galco DAO. They have the features that I am...

I want to build an LTR out of my Marlin 795. I would rather use the Williams FP sight than the Tech Sights. They seem like a better product and they are American-made, something that seems important on an LTR. Does anyone know of a hooded front sight that would work with the Williams FP? Or...

I've been planning to pig hunt on BLM land in the Cache Creek area, California. On the BLM map most of this area is marked as "Federal Agency Protective Withdrawal." Does anyone know what this means and if it has any implications for hunting or firearms? Thanks.

So I am going on my first deer hunt next week. I have watched all of the youtube videos about how to field dress the deer. What I am wondering is what to do with the deer after I get back to camp and how do I get it home or to the butcher? We will be camped out for three days, about four hours...

Here's a link to the article: http://www.sacbee.com/2010/08/18/2965953/rocker-nugent-pleads-no-contest.html Dumb move.

I'm leaning toward a Marlin 795 over the 10/22 for an LTR rifle. I like the feel and controls better. But I noticed that the Tech Sights clamp the the scope rail on the Marlin, but are screwed to the Ruger. I have never considered the .22 scope mounts as very secure. Has anyone had any...

A friend of mine bought a Benelli Nova and took it to the range to try it out. When he pumped it to chamber a round it fired. So he took it back to the store and exchanged it for another Nova. He took it to the range and the exact same thing happened. So he took that one back and now has decided...

I bought these rounds at the gun show the other day for my .308 Marlin XS7. I think they may be reloads because every case has heat discoloration at the bottlenecks. Also every primer has 2 or 3 little dents on them. The dents aren't as deep firing pin strike, but they are there. Another thing...

I'm looking for a sidearm to carry while camping and hiking in California. The general purpose would be protection from bear, big cats, and two-legged drug manufacturers/farmers. Ideally, I would like a 4" GP100, since my only other pistols are a Glock 17 & 30. But the laws of California make...

I had settled on .308 as the caliber of my first rifle because of it availability of really cheap ammo (Besides hunting, I may want to do a little "just blasting" while I'm out camping). I aslo have heard that it's kick is not as bad as the 30-06. So the shop can order me a Stevens 200 for...

I'm in the market for my first bolt action rifle and I am pretty much narrowed down to the Stevens 200 or the Marlins XS7 in .308. I like the Marlin because it has the adjustable trigger and it may feel slightly better when I shoulder it. I like the Stevens because it has the free floating...
