Not A Rifle Shooter. So, How Bad Am I? (Part II) Well, I installed the Volquartsen target hammer and sold a gun I didn't need and bought a Magpul X-22 Hunter stock to see how I liked it. The stock is...meh. The target hammer makes a big difference except the trigger plunger sticks sometimes...

I've always been more of a handgun shooter...not a good one, but still a handgun shooter. Today was my first time at 50 yards with my bone stock Ruger 10/22 Carbine with a Vortex 2-7x rimfire scope. I was shooting CCI Standard Velocity ammo and had the forend setting on a rest. So, how bad am I...

I have the basic carbine Ruger 10/22 with a wood stock. I was going to switch to a Magpul X-22 but I have read some reports that the forend is a bit flimsy. So, I'm looking for some other recommendations for something stiff, reasonably light and comfortable that doesn't break the bank.

I ran across an old Norinco 1911 where I work for a decent price and will probably be picking it up. If I do I will replace all of the springs for starters. I wouldn't mind having a long trigger (prefer them) and possibly an extended beaver tail grip safety which will require a new hammer. I...

I have come across a discarded Crimson Trace CTS-1300 red dot. The reason it was discarded is because it doesn't have a battery tray and CT doesn't stock that part, so, they just replaced the whole red dot. I couldn't let it go into the trash, so, I rescued it hoping to find something that might...

I have been selling the guns that I don't shoot or have no real need for as I no longer have any desire to be a collector. I have a Glock 17 Gen 1 that will be going on the chopping block in a little while and have a question about it. My example has an adjustable rear sight and I was curious to...

Well, I decided that the Mossberg 590 Shockwave was just too much for these old hands to handle. Shooting it with the SBA3 brace was good, but I took the brace off because my crystal ball tells me that ATF is not a friend to the brace or gun owners in general. After I put the Raptor grip back on...

I turned my Shockwave into a 20" 590 because the Shockwave is one angry little firearm and the 20" conversion is just way more useful for me. I bought a Magpul forend for it and the Hogue extended forend nut since the action tube is 6 3/4". The trouble is that the extended nut or the factory...

I'm converting my 590 Shockwave to a 20" shotgun and am trying to do it as inexpensively as possible. I have a Mesa Tactical stock adapter with a pistol grip that I could add an adjustable stock to but don't think I'll use it due to the more difficult access to the safety. I've had a 500 with...

I know the Shockwave isn't a shotgun, but not sure where else to put this. I posted earlier about adding a sling to it or just changing the Shockwave to a regular ol' 590 shotgun but wanted to shoot it again before I decided. When I got the Shockwave, the first thing that I did was put a Mesa...

I guess I'm going to take my Shockwave and either take the SBA3 brace off of it and put the Raptor grip back on or turn it into a 590A1. I have a 590A1 barrel that is available at a LGS for $135. I've found a magazine tube and spring on Midway for roughly $60. I'm guessing that's all that I need...

I have a Mossberg Shockwave but instead of the birdshead grip I have an SB Tactical SBA3 brace attached to a Mesa Tactical stock adapter on it. I am thinking about putting it back to its original configuration but would like to have a sling on it. Mine is older, so, it doesn't have a sling stud...

A month or so ago I found a used Glock 30 Gen 4 with night sights for $489 at the LGS and put it on lay-away. I got to put a few rounds through it today and I was shocked at how much better I shoot it than my Glock 9mms. I am heavy in 9mms and always have been because of the cost difference (not...

A fellow brought this into the shop and didn't know what gun it fit and neither do I. Any help with the ID would be great. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what holster Ken Hackathorn is using in this photo? Thanks.

Apparently I am an odd shape or something because I am having a heck of a time finding a way to carry a a handgun at the 3-4 o'clock position. I had decided to try and carry my Colt Commander to see how I liked it but can't seem to make it work. I wear my pants with the belt line right at my...

I had a guy call me and was looking for information about how to bring firearms into the US from another country. He has a good friend that is moving to the US in December from New Zealand because of the laws changing there and has about a half dozen military surplus bolt guns he wants to bring...

When did Glock discontinue the tupperware cases that had the area for cartridge storage? I'm still shocked at how much these cases sell for.

I friend of mine picked up one of these a few days ago was kind of regretting it since they're right at a grand brand new. With only 5,000 being made, does anyone think these will ever be highly sought after?

Well, I picked up a new to me Glock 17 for what seems to me to be a really good price. It's a Gen 1 but it didn't have any magazines or the Glock tupperware container with it...$275.:D I did get the good price because I picked it up where I work. I know original mags are a little difficult to...
