So I posted a mossberg 500 for trade or sale a while ago and a guy offered me his volunteer arms thompson replica for the shotgun, two questions, 1. Does anyone have any experience with these who can tell me if they are good or if they are junk? 2. Should I make this trade? Thank you guys.

Hey guys, I am starting a build on the ar15, I found a commercial stock and buffer tube kit pretty cheap, however, I am concerned as to the compatibility of these two systems. If I purchase a commercial stock kit and place it on my lower receiver are there restrictions as to what kind of upper I...

I am looking to build an ar 15 for hunting deer with. I have already settled on 6.8 for the rifle, I'm trying to decide how to build it, i'm talking stocks, barrel length, handguards etc. I was thinking about the possibility of a fixed skeleton stock or something of the like. I'd like to hear...

Hey guys, today I began assembling my AR-15 stripped lower receiver. Everything worked great (except for one minor scratch). However, when it came time to assemble the selector I ran into problems. The selector fit in well but when I put the selector detent in, I ran into a few problems. I...

I have recently decided to assemble another AR-15, however, I am stuck on what kind of buttstock to get for it. It's going to be a relatively cheap build, so I'd rather not spend more than 80-100 on the buttstock. I have been reading up on it, and it seems that people typically say that the A2...

So I just traded a guy for a Springfield 1911. I went and shot it, functions fantastically, I used to have another brand of 1911 (which will be withheld to protect this thread from brand wars) and the Springfield blew it out of the water. However, when I went home and cleaned it, I field...

I recently found a listing for a mossberg 500A. The shotgun is listed for 250 dollars and the seller claims to have only shot 20 rounds out of it. 28" barrel, walnut stocks, it can accept 3" shells, leather sling, double bead sight, it also says it is an AccuChoke version. (I am more familiar...

Am I the only one who finds the government model 1911 to be the best looking pistol out there? I mean, I've had a couple different 1911's and for some reason, I do not think that they look as good with the beavertail safety, skeleton hammer, or any of that other aftermarket stuff. I just love...

I am thinking about getting a threaded barrel for a Springfield XD service, my question is mostly what length barrel should i get so that it protrudes past the slide? Will a 4.5" barrel work, or do I need a 5" barrel? I am inexperienced with this idea and just want to make sure that if I get a...

I am looking at the Ruger Redhawk for a sidearm while hunting. Mostly it will be for defense, and possibly for handgun hunting. I like the .44 magnum and used to have a S&W 629, however, I have been looking at the fact that the .45 Colt can be loaded to .44 mag velocities. I do NOT reload...

Why is it that I see arched main spring housings on 1911's that are government models, but on every 1911 with a skeletonized hammer and beavertail grip safety, the MSH is always a flat one? I've felt the 1911A1, and like the arched MSH, however I've never tried it on an upgraded 1911. So yeah...

I saw the 5 Favorite Revolvers thread and thought it'd be fun to do with auto loaders as well, can be guns you've owned or would like to own. 1. Coonan 1911 (.357 mag) 2. Walther p38 3. Beretta 92 4. Colt Series 70 5. Sig p250

I have a mosin m38, and for lack of a more modern rifle, I am taking this one hunting. I have a couple of different soft point and hunting rounds, and am wondering which bullet weight may be a better choice. I have 180 gr. sellier & bellot and 203 gr. Silver Bear ammunition. I am curious as to...

I have been looking into the possibility of purchasing a 6.5 grendel upper receiver for my AR15, however every 6.5 upper i find is around $1000! I have looked around, however, I have found nothing. Is there a cheap 6.5 upper somewhere or should I just purchase a 6.8 and spend the extra money on...

I was at gander mountain yesterday and they have police trade in berettas for $449. I love the Beretta and always have, I want to know if this is a good deal, I mean approximately how many rounds do these guns see? I know that it has a lot of holster wear, but aside from that, how are they?

I've heard from some gunsmiths and workers at gun stores that Rock Island Armory 1911's are good firearms for building up from and just all around shooting. I have no experience with them. I would like to purchase another 1911, but am wondering if I should buy one of these. It would be mostly...

I am looking for a .45 caliber pistol, and I am in love with Springfield's XD series. The problem that I have now is I don't know which model I should go with; Tactical, Service, or Compact. I am planning on using it primarily as a duty handgun. I am wondering if the extra inch of barrel...

Hey everyone, I bought a Remington R1 about 7 months ago. I have since fired 500 rounds through it. (Shot 175 rounds yesterday). As anyone with a 1911 can probably figure, when I got done at the range, I had literally taken chunks out of my hand. I am now painfully aware of how much I need a...

Looking for a snubnose .357 magnum revolver. Not particularly looking for a pocket pistol, just a snub nosed revolver, preferably with the capability to fire .357 magnum rounds. Trying to decide what kind of revolvers are some of the best. I've looked at 2" S&W 686, ruger sp101s, how about...

I may be moving to California in the near future, and am wondering if the high capacity magazine on my XDM is the ONLY thing that makes it illegal. The print on the box says: NOT LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA AND WITH HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINE. The AND is what makes me think there are other features that...
