Is it legal to purchase a firearm from a private party, when you are in a state other than your own? Example: If I am from Illinois, can I purchase a firearm from a private party in Iowa? I don't think I would have to have something shipped to an IL. FFL in this case. Am I incorrect?

It's the same but different. Who are you to ask me? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-seized-guns-on-display-werent-from-2013-20130114,0,2319668.story This is the way politics are done in Chicago. Do you not believe that they went and took the 25 scariest guns in their...

My brother has a Weatherby Mark V in 7mm Rem Mag. It has a dull black finish, and a plain matte walnut stock. My brother just feels the stock looks like it is missing something. He would love it to look more like a European version with a black ebony tip on the end of the stock. Maybe even a...

I have a H & R 12 gauge I want cut down to a legal 18.5". i also want to have a XS Big Dot Tritium sight (or similar) installed. I have been toying with the idea of having a 3.0" section of Picatinny rail silver soldered or epoxied to the underside of the barrel to mount a light. This is a home...

Does anyone know where the Remington 887 is manufactured? Is this an Ilion New York made shotgun, or a Turkish import?

I want to replace the lame v-blade rear sight on a Winchester 9422 with a peep sight. Does anyone have a recomendation? I want something that is not very bulky, and also I want to be able to return the rifle back to the original stock configuration. Thanks.

I am not sure if this should go in the Rifle Section, or the gunsmithing section. I have this M1 Garand that has this odd safety lever. I have never seen one like it. The drawing number on the trigger housing is D28290-5-SA (Springfield Armory), and the hammer is marked C4-5008-1 W.R.A...

Not an AK-47, a Saiga 7.62 x 39. I have one of these with a canted front sight post. The front sight is pinned with two pins. I do not know if these are tapered or straight pins, thus I do not know how to remove the front sight. Do I need to pound these away from the bolt handle, or pound...

If some of you saw my other thread, you know my brother just got two (2) reweld M1 Garands. Now the question becomes what to do with them? CMP has barrelled receievrs for $100-225. My question is this, what are ALL of the parts of a standard USGI M1 Garand (less the barrel and receiver)...

Does anyone know of why a M1 Garand would be marked "Trademark" on the heel? My brother received two Garands from his father in law. Both of them are really worn int the heel area. The serial numbers are ledgible, but the manufacturers are very faint. One is a Winchester, the other appears...

Cabelas has a Remington package called the Super Slug wih Scope for$249. It is a Remington fully rifled 23" cantilever barrel with rings and scope for $249. The Model 870 Super Slug with Scope is 23" long with a 3" chamber capable of handling 2-3/4" or 3" sabot slugs. Mounted and bore sighted...

Saw this picture in the Chicago Tribune. The caption was: "Independence Day parade Mexican Army elite troops shout military slogans Tuesday during the Independence Day military parade in Mexico City." I am pleased that Barret is selling rifles and making money. It is too bad they are not...

Is the Vepr AK clone ever coming back to America? What is the story behind this? Robinson used to sell them? Saiga owns them, and shelved them? I'd just like more info. Thanks.

I know other forums do this, have you considered not allowing new members to post in the for sale section until they attain a certain number of posts? Typically I have seen this number as 50-70. I would think this would limit a lot of scammers.

A while back I spoke with a guy who I think was out of Kansas. He had a company that made very nice higher end safes and lock boxes for pistols. The kind you might secure next to your nightstand. I cannot remember the name of his company. I do remember he used to differentiate between a...

Anyone know where I can get one of these Colt HBAR cheek rests?

How does a Go / No-Go gauge work? I have not seen one, and from what I think I understand it is basically a solid steel blank shaped like a shell. One is the correct size, and one is too big. If the too big shell closes inside the action, then the headspace is too worn. Like wise, if the...

I have a no-name set of Weaver 1.0" bases. One of the allen screws which clamps the scope tube is semi-stripped. I went to my local Ace Hardware, and could not match up the threads. I am going from memory here, so I may be off, I think the screw was a #6, but the tread count was fine? Where...

Has anyone heard this before? I just met a guy I have known for a few years who is a pretty seasoned deer hunter. We started talking about the season coming up this weekend. He hunts in Northern Wisconsin. My brother pulled a tag in downstate Illinois in Knox County. (BTW, I only bow hunt...

Has anyone used one of the Timney triggers in a Weatherby Vanguard /Howa 1500 action? I know they came out a few years ago. I am wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with them.
