I have a person wanting to trade me his High Standard Flight King 20 gauge shotgun. It will accept 3" shells and has a fixed modified choke. The gun is in nice shape for its age (approx 35-40 years old I believe). He would like 2k rounds of .22LR ammo for it. 1000 rounds of my CCI Mini Mag, 1...

Went to Cabela's door buster sale yesterday and stood in line for the chance to get a Chinese SKS imported by Century Arms. There were about 15 to choose from and I got one with all matching numbers. All of the SKS's were gone within 10 minutes of the store opening. Glad I got there in time...

I went in one of the local Wally Worlds this morning to grab my morning diet coke from McDonalds. As always I walked past the ammo counter to take a look at the empty shelves. Today was not different, there was basically nothing as to be expected. However behind the counter there was a cupboard...

I picked up a Rock Island 1911 9mm a week ago at the gun show. Surprisingly I was able to find 300 rounds of 9mm at a combination of local stores that didn't break the bank. The weather was nice enough today to get out to the range. Unfortunately the closest I can set a target at this range is...

The weather is finally decent here in Utah and I was able to get out and shoot the 1851 I bought a couple of months back. First thing when I get to the range I realize I didn't grab the Pyrodex P so I ended up using RS. I went with ~15 grains. I used .380 round balls from Track of the Wolf which...

Went to the gun show this weekend and ended up coming home with a RIA 1911 in 9mm. I am a big fan of the 1911 platform and Rock Island as their prices can't be beat. I have the 45ACP model and it runs flawlessly. I have been wanting to try one in 9mm and for $430 I said what the heck. It is the...

Went to the gun show today and there is somebody selling an 1860 NIB for $200. The only markings I can find are under the ram rod - ASM 44 cal. There is a receipt in the box from 1986 and the receipt says CVA on it but I don't see any CVA on the box or gun. The gun is either polished steel or...

I am looking to sell my 10/22 receiver/action and I believe this is consider the firearm portion meaning I need to use an FFL? Is this correct? It is also a small piece, can I ship Priority mail to an FFL or does it need to go UPS ground? Also is there any paperwork I need to put on the outside...

I recently picked up an 1851 Griswold manufactured 1963. I doubt the nipples have ever been removed. I don't think the gun has been fired. I use a homemade nipple wrench I made with a socket. I was only able to remove 1 of the 6 nipples. I have tried PB Blaster (granted I only let it soak about...

Good day gentlemen, I have not added a black powder revolver for a few years now and I ran across this one and could not pass it up. I am not a big brass frame guy but I figured what the heck. Based on the markings I think it is from 1963 imported by Navy Arms. It is a .36 caliber. I believe...

With the AR craze I am going to sell my gun off while prices are high. I have a buyer out of state who wants the gun. I understand I can ship UPS or USPS to his FFL. We are both wondering what is the most secure way to conduct the money transaction. As the seller I want to make sure the money...

Good afternoon fellow enthusiasts. I am looking at a Beretta 390 12g. Black syn stock, looks pretty basic. It is a 390, not an A390 or AL390. Is this worth $550 in your opinions. I haven't been able to find a lot of information on the plain ole 390. Thanks!

After reading about the RIA 1911 for the past 3 years I finally pulled the trigger on one today. It does have some use on it but I got it for $300 which I thought was a great deal. I haven't shot it yet but everything appears to be in working order. I still think the RIA is the best budget 1911...

I have a question for you 41 mag fans. I have been on the lookout for a Ruger (Blackhawk, etc) in 44 mag. I want at least a 5.5" barrel and prefer something longer if possible. Today in Cabela's I ran across a used Ruger Blackhawk 5.5 in 41 mag. The price is $369 which seems very reasonable to...

Anyone bought from these guys? Were they reliable and decent in their shipping time? They have a rifle I want to purchase but have never heard of them.

I am just getting into reloading. I have started to buy the equipment and read the books on it. I am going to start with reloading for my .308, .243, and .380ACP. I have not been able to find any .380 bullets. Can I use the small 9mm bullets or should I wait until I can find some .380. They both...

I couldn't pass this up for $100. I already own the Browning and Ruger and thought this might be fun to mess around with. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

After much debate and research, I decided on a Saiga chambered in .308 with the 22" barrel. I could not find one locally here in Utah so I had to order it from Arizona. Should be here by Thursday. Can't wait.

It was announced today the general deer season has been reduced to 5 days starting in 2010. This is shortened from the normal 9 days it usually runs.

Which is the better gun? I already have a Ruger and a Buckmark. I am specifically looking at one of these cheapies to toy around with.
