EAA Corp firearms--the Witness series, windicators, baikal firearms, etc., are warranted only to the original owner. Their service system is slow, unresponsive and expensive. Neither of these are up to industry standards. Consider these factors when making a firearm purchase.

I just ordered some primer carriers (the little orange plastic thing that holds the primers) for my NEF Huntsman .50cal muzzle-loader and wound up with 10 times as many as I thought I was getting because of the way they package them. If anyone out there has a huntsman and could use some, just...

I just got an NEF (H&R) .50 cal "Huntsman" muzzle loader from a local shop and it came with only one primer carrier--the little orange disk that holds the 209 primer in place. So I called up H&R 1871 and ordered some more. They told me they come 5 in a pack so I told them 10 should be...

I've got a friend who has what he says is a "Ranger" 20ga bolt-action shotgun that uses a magazine to give it a 5 rd capacity. Anybody ever heard of these or have one. The screw that holds the trigger group onto the barrel and stock is missing and I'm trying to figure out where to start...

I advertised 90rds of .45 ammo on here and found a buyer. Then today I took it first to the post office, then to UPS, then to Fedex to ship it. The post office and UPS refused to accept small arms ammunition at all! This really surprised me because I've shipped ammo many times before without...

I just got my first Ruger, a GP-100, and am enjoying it very much. Until now my revolver experience is all with Smith & Wessons. To clean them I always removed the screw on the right hand side of the revolver and then just slid the cylinder and crane off of the gun to facilitate cleaning...

Any muzzle-loader hunters on here? I'm planning to get into muzzle loading just so I can get out into the WMAs before the general gun hunters. I've looked at a lot of guns, both in-line and traditional patch & ball. It sounds like both could do the job on a deer. I'm pretty much down to...

I'm looking to swap some HKS 10 speedloaders for HKS 586s. See in the Gun Show below if interested. Thanks.

Sorry if this is already over covered but I just wanted to be sure I have the current story on this. I bought a new Rem 870 Express with a 28" barrel for use hunting, and with modifications for IPSC 3-gun competition. The main modification will be making it a 10-shot gun by adding a Choate...

Just got a new Remington 870 Express Magnum with a 28" bbl and a modified choke (screw in). Can slugs be fired through that barrel without screwing up the choke? If not, is there a screw in "rifled choke" that should be used with them, or will the IC choke handle slugs? I ask because...

Picked up from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty: "RUSSIAN SMALL ARMS PRODUCER PRESENTS NEW PISTOL. A Tula weapons maker unveiled the prototype of its new 9-millimeter pistol, which it hopes will become the standard weapon for the MVD and Russian Army, pravda.ru reported on 26 December. The...

Thanks to all for the very helpful information on this topic so far (see thread below). Now I need your opinion on an "opportunity" that's come up. I found a Rem 700 VLS for $400--a nice used starter gun for this sport, but it's had at least 500 rounds through it. How much life is in a good...

I've been around rifles most of my life and am a passable shot with open site weapons--M-1, M-14 and M-16 in the Army, and in civilian life several .22LR bolt and pump rifles as well as AKs, ARs and military bolts like the Mauser and Mosin-Nagant. Now I'd like to get into long range target...

I've got a good deal on one of these from a dealer who is going out of business. I think it must be a Performance Center gun--the current S&W site lists a "Shorty forty" but not a "shorty 45." I'd appreciate any opinions of the gun particularly from anyone with experience with it. Thanks in...

Over the years I've moved away from larger pistols because they're harder to carry concealed. Today my carry gun is a compact semi-auto in 9mm. But I've recently gotten interested in IPSC and IDPA and come to the conclusion that a full-size .45 would be a better choice for this and home...

Is it a problem if a handgun has different serial numbers on the frame, slide and barrel? Which one is the "real" serial number?

Just picked up a used Mossberg 500 at a gunshow yesterday and it comes with two barrels, a 28, and an 18.5. When I install the 18.5, the action won't lock when the bolt is forward. I've examined the barrels and the connection ends appear to be identical in every detail. Is there any problem...

Might a category for upcoming gun show listings not be helpful to TFLers? Please pardon me if it's been tried before or is included in some other category, but I'd like to see something like that.
