    Pointers for Gun Show Shopping

    I've been window shopping at a few Gun Shows, but this weekend I'm going with the intent on buying (Probably a shotgun, but, who knows?). Any pointers on what to look for (or avoid) from sellers? I'm so used to buying new guns, that I honestly don't know what to look for on a used gun, to see...

    Any Info on the New Ruger .480?

    Has anyone heard or read any data on this new load? I was excited when I first saw it in an NRA Magazine, but have since heard it is only slightly more powerful than a .44 Magnum, and nowhere near a .454 If that's true I'm not sure what market Ruger is trying to hit. My way of thinking is if...

    Marlin 1897 Lever .22LR

    Man I Love Christmas!! My Girlfriend just gave me a nifty little Marlin 1897 .22LR as my Christmas present. Any thoughts on this little plinker? My brother has a Marlin 39A (it's 30 years old, he's had it since he was 12) and it's always been a sweet little shooter. I'm hoping my new Marlin...

    Thoughts on the Sig Trailside

    I just ordered a Sig (Hamerli) Trailside .22 Anyone have one of these? What do you think of it? I was completely sucked in by it when I held it at the Gun Shop. The trigger seemed so much nicer that my Mark II. I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions. Thanks in advance, Dave

    How to clean after using Black Powder

    I mistakenly bought Black Powder ammo for CAS (and I bought a heck of a lot!) But now that I've shot it, I think it's kinda neat. My question is, should I vary the way I clean my guns (Marlin 1894 CB II, and Ruger Vis-Baq's). I cleaned them with CLP, Powder-Blast, then Rem-Oil; this is my...

    I want to Buy a Trap gun...

    My gun club has a great trap program, I've gone several times to the pratice shoots with a Marlin pump and I'm now at the point where I'd like to get an over/under. I like the looks of the Ruger Red Labels, but before I buy, I would be remiss if I did not seek the wisdom of TFL:) Thanks in...

    What's the lifespan of Tritium Sights?

    I've had my Kimber CDP for about 3 months and I noticed my Front Sight is no longer visible in the dark. The rear sight is still excellent though. I e-mailed Kimber, and they will replace the front sight under warranty. But how long will it last? Did I get a faulty front sight?...I Hope so...

    Sling Advice

    Neoprene or Leather? When it comes to carrying a deer rifle all day, I was wondering what preferences people have for the type of sling they use. I have a Neoprene sling for my Ruger M77 Mark II, and am very happy with how comfortable it is. But I was wondering if it holds up as long as...

    Pocket Pistol Recommendation?

    I have a buddy who wants to carry a small semi literally in his pocket. I have recommended the Beretta Tomcat in .32 ACP. That is the smallest caliber he is willing to carry. Price is not a problem, he is looking for quality and dependability. Any other recommendations/advice? Thanks in advance.

    Ammonia Smell in my AR's Receiver??

    I just finished the family Thanksgiving visit at my Brother's farm. I took my Bushmaster with me, and we put about 200 rds. through it. Towards the end, I noticed a fairly strong smell of ammonia coming from the receiver. When I inspected further, I also noticed that the powder residue in the...
