Hope you guys can help me here. I live in a heavily wooded area, but have houses near me - too near to comfortably use shotgun to hunt. (Rifle is illegal in this area, and I don't mean to irritate the neighbors.) I got a bow, practiced up, and thought I'd try bowhunting. It's a tiny little...

So... I'm having a cool rifle built for me - an NEF re-chambered to accept 7.62 x 54R. Given that it will retain its .308 bore, I think my rifle's ammo needs will closely reflect the Finnish-built Mosin-Nagants that fired 54R through true .308 barrels. Unclenick gave me some super reloading...

I'm looking for extreme accuracy and durability. If possible, I'd like to keep the cost down. Weight is of little import to me. I'd like a rifle, chambered in 7.62x54R. I need a synthetic stocked animal, preferably barreled in stainless. I'll be shooting 180 grain bullets almost exclusively...

Howdy! First, mods, I really did think about where to put this post. If it's wrong, please feel free to delete with extreme prejudice. We don't really have a 'carry' section, so this seemed to be (to me) better than the 'Tactics and Training' forum. Second, please no heated debate over the...

Howdy, fellas. My deer gun is a Mosin. To produce good groups (and affordable hunting ammo!) I began reloading last year. I have the process down pretty well, I think, and I use a little Lee whack-a-mole kit. Overjoyed with the results. I have begun whacking out ammo for my handguns...

So... I wanted to get a dedicated deer/longer distance rifle. I have plenty of handguns, and an old break-open shotgun, and a .22 squirrel rig, but NO rifles. I wanted something in a caliber that would take most, if not all, North American game. I'm also a working man. I'm young (25), and I...

So... I'm a wrench by trade, so I understand being leery about lending tools. If anyone actually does me this favor, I'll be shocked. I'm building a cheapy scout rifle out of an old Mosin 91/30. I want to whack about ten inches off the barrel. I would like to find someone who could lend me...

... the next time you're in Philly. I owe quite a few of you some suds. Over a year ago, I started getting the bug to reload, and due to educational and financial restrictions, I just recently had the funds to purchase the necessary components. In the meantime I did a lot of reading I would...

...but I finally picked up a deal. Old Taurus PT92, blued, for $150 from a buddy. Great shape, older Pachamayrs on it - and I already own one, so I don't have all the ancillary costs (holster, ammo, defense ammo, spare mags, all that jazz). Finally... I got a bargain. I was beginning to...

...encouraging me to buy a gun. I'm looking to blow some tax return money. I'd like a few specific things, but the shop doesn't seem to want to help me, and I haven't had time to go gallavanting all over the hillside finding a gun. Plus, the shops all seem to bust my stones here in the city -...

One of the fellers at work is unloading a never-fired, carried twice (I know, I know...who carries a gun they never shot?!) Seecamp in .32. He is throwing in a box of Winchester Silvertips, and wants four hundred for it. Good deal? -L.

My 1966 Jetfire. Some dolt bashed in my truck window to steal my fishy cooler, and helped himself to my gun and a new leather holster for it while he was in there looking around. Cops were called, no prints were visible...you could see quite clearly he was wearing gloves. No building...

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/pre-1898-mauser-rifles.aspx?a=532481 I can get one of these through the mail?! Is this a good buy, or a rook? And is this a desirable Mauser? I know there are quite a few styles of Mauser, and I wouldn't want to get taken... And which caliber would be...

Hi guys... One of my colleagues is looking to take, as payment for a debt, a "kit" gun. The gun in question is a copy of a MAC-10 (a firearm I know little about...it looks truly useless to me, but to each his own, ya know?). The gun was evidently welded together from sheet steel that came in...

I've been wanting to go hunting for the first time. I cannot, for the life of me, find somebody to go with, so I figured I'd read some books, and start on my own, beginning with small game this year. (I don't have a suitable deer rifle, and want to get my feet wet before I spend time and money...

Howdy, guys. Member of some years...mostly opinionated spewing from me :-) Some questions. Let me give you my experience and background first... I'm a little lost. I grew up on the East Coast, to a non-gun family. I went to college in Missouri, and fell in love with shooting. I've shot...

My, that title was alliterative, wasn't it, now? Gentlemen and Ladies... I have a Ruger Security Six I care to replace the sights on. The SS, as you may now, is different from the Speed and Service Sixes in that it has target (adjustable) sights. I hate these, and mine are all dinged up...

Well, m co-worker brought in his other shootin iron today. It appears to be another percussion rifle. This is the funky one with a hexagonal bore - the bore looks to be similar to a thirty-eight - much smaller than the other one. The top of the barrel says L&K, and the side of what I would...

Well, at the place I work, I am the firearms expert. Problem is, I don't know nothin' :-) One of the guys wanted me to tell him about his rifle here, and I don't know the first thing about it. But, I told him I knew a great bunch of people who sure would! It's a front stuffer, beautifully...

So, I yanked out my PT-99 for carry yesterday, and when I was going to holster it, I noticed a crack in/chunk missing from the back of the hammer. I didn't carry it, and stripped the pistol, removing the hammer. I didn't order the parts from Numrich until I figured out how to reinstall the...
