I am thinking of purchasing a new .22 semi-auto pistol. I've been looking at a Ruger 22/45 for about $205 shipped. Seen a Sig Trailside the other day, oooooooh. Does anybody own one of these Sigs? How do they compare to the Ruger? Are they worth almost twice as much as the Ruger? I know...

I recently purchased a new Beretta 92FS and have ran about 300 rounds through it. 200 of those were Blazers, they went through without a hitch. The other night I picked up 2 boxes of Winchester's WINCLEAN. This stuff is absolute junk!! The first mag had 2 that wouldn't eject, they got hung...

I'm thinking I'll take advantage of the opportunity they are presenting us. They have basically told us we have 2 years to buy a "good" handgun, after that who knows what you'll get. The pre-ban S&W's are gonna be a lot more valuable than a post-ban. Just like pre-ban mags or pre-ban AR's...

I'd like to know if one is more desirable, the .243 or the .308. I realize that this is a matter of personal choice, but if both guns are in identical condition, is one more valuable than the other? Ummm, it is a Winchester, not Wincherster. Ooops. :rolleyes: ------------------ bullet...

I'm looking at a magnaported Redhawk in a 44mag. I've had no experience with magnaporting. Would like to know what advantages, disadvantages you see in a magnaported gun. Thanks in advance ------------------ bullet placement is gun control

There was a barrel life thread not too long ago, but I didn't see anything on the 220 Swift. So now I'm asking. If I'm not pushing the envelope with hot loads how long of life can I expect. If it makes any difference, the rifle is a Ruger 77V. Probably 25 years old, but never been fired...

I've come to the point in my life where I feel like I just gotta get one of these. It will be a 10mm. I would appreciate any comments from those with experience with these. Good, bad, ugly? ------------------ bullet placement is gun control

In terms of velocity/energy, what's to be gained/lost by the length of barrel? 7.5"/5.5". Thinking about a Ruger Redhawk, .44mag. Thanks in advance. ------------------ bullet placement is gun control

I also have a model 88 in roughly 70% condition. It's a .243, serial #52xxx. Can you tell me date of manufacture(I think it's about 59 or 60), and the approx. value? BTW it has an older(25 years) B&L 3x9 on it. Sounds like I'm wanting to sell all my old Winchesters. Might be...

While my daughter and I were munching on our Cheerios this morning waiting for the bus we had GMA on.(I know, just listening to the weather) Diane Sawyer launches into what a tough decision W has to make, whether or not to spare a murderers life. Some old gal they call the "Black Widow", who's...

I have a model 63 manufactured in 1955. Wood is 85%+/-, blueing is near perfect. There is one small scratch on the side of the reciever. It is mechanically sound. I'm wanted to get an idear about what she's worth. Thanks in advance.... ------------------ bullet placement is gun control

Are all 1911's SA? If so, why? ------------------ bullet placement is gun control

I just heard another news story this morning about that Gonzales kid from Cuba. Why are we still holding this kid here? Last I heard(seems like about 2 months ago) they said the higher courts ruled that he should be returned to his father. Well, what are we waiting for? Can't they see they...

This only seems to work out once a year or so, and last night was one of those. It's when the moon is full plus or minus a couple of days, we have a fresh snow cover, and the skies are clear. It was crystal last night. I've got a place about 1/4 mile from my house out in the middle of a...

Okay guys, I need a little help here. I've been thinking about getting a new .22 rifle. Same old story, I want quality without spending a fortune. Probably a bolt. Will be doing some serious plinking and not so serious plinking. Punching paper and punching holes in ground squirrels and tree...

Just wonderin. Does anyone have the ID measurements for all chokes and including the ID of a 12ga.? Maybe post measurements for 20 ga. also if you're feeling energetic. I'm curious as to which is the closest to a straight bore. ------------------ bullet placement is gun control

Hey Harley, need to know what a Franchi 48/AM magnum 12ga. in about 70% condition is worth? He says it's a 48/AM, but my 10 year old used value book doesn't list a 48/AM just a 48/AL. Is the AM correct? Thanks in advance.... ------------------ bullet placement is gun control

I shoot more rifle and shotgun than I do handgun so I guess that's why it took me so long notice this. When I shoot I try not to close the off eye completely, but noticed that I sight with my right eye when shooting a rifle or shotgun. I use my left eye when sighting down my handguns. Is this...

This question could also go to the shotgun forum. Which do you think is better? I'm fully aware which will cost you more in a used gun, but is there much of a quality difference? Or say even from when they first moved to Japan to new guns? I've owned a couple different Brownings made in...

I have a Winchester #37 in a 20 ga. Since they didn't serial number these is there any way of dating this shotgun? Also, instead of saying mod. or full it just says choke. Please enlighten me, does this mean full? I've got a 10 year old gun trader's guide that prices this at $150, is that...
