    Cheap scope for M1A

    Hi all, I've got an M1A in a Sage EBR Mod0 stock with a rail for the scope - what's a decent cheap scope to use? I'd like to reach out to 100yards (longest range near me) but not reach too far into the pocket...any recommendations on a scope hat can withstand 308 and still be cheap? Thanks!

    New gun safeties: reliability/dislike?

    OK, so...I see a lot of hate being directed at all these new gun safeties: the ones on Kimber IIs, new S&W revolvers and such. But every single time I ask people to tell me why they hate them I get no reply. Nothing. So take this as a challenge: Actually say why you hate the new saftey...

    Wear on cylinder & surrounding metal

    Hey all, To continue my education on wheel guns...I've popped the cylinder off my gun and see some wear I'm unsure of. On the cylinder, the notches that allow the cylinder to be locked in place, on my 44 magnum, I can see some metal being beaten around, if you will (the wear looks like the...

    Finish wearing off new gun

    Hi all... Fired my Model 58 for the first time, and here's the result (edit, I will note, this gun is new - I'm the first owner) - I fired roughly 60 rounds, and the bluing seems to have worn off right away. What happened? My model 29 didn't have this problem...does this need to go back to S&W...

    Grips for N frame revolver

    Hey all, Looking for some grips to put on my two N frame revolvers, and I plan to pick up a hogue rubber grip, but what other wooden grips are out there to try? I'm not a total fan of the checkered wood grips that come with the guns - are the hogue grips well made? Is it worth getting grips...

    model 29 used price check

    Hi all, Just dropped a gun off at West coast armory in WA and saw a used model 29 in the case that I had to check out - I handled it, the pull felt good, the cylinder didn't have much play in it when locked down, timings looked good and all. According to the salesman, someone bought it, took...

    Model 57 - questions

    Model 58 - questions OK, so...I bought a model 58. Now, it's a blued classic model from S&W - what are the cleaning basics I will need to go through, meaning how will it be different than a basic stainless steel revolver? Also, how good does this ammo look...

    Looking for some pointers/help deciding

    Hey all, I currently own a Glock 21 and hate the trigger, so after starting a thread over in the semi-auto forums considering a Desert Eagle or a 1911....I've since backed off the idea of a DE and am considering other semi autos like a custom SA 1911 (probably about $1500), I plan to look at a...

    Desert Eagle or something more common

    Edit: OK, let's forget the DE: OK, let's lock this down again - no .50AE. Calibers I'll accept: 10mm if the gun is made for 10mm (meaning no reliability issues), .40 is good, .45 is preferred. Other odd calibers can be considered if they're not too expensive. 9mm is out. Requirements: GOod...
