I heard a lot of reports on these, both good and bad, but decided to try my luck on one. WalMart has been getting them in lately with the 25 rd. mags and priced a couple dollars less than the 10 rd. models they used to get. Realizing I was buying a rifle that costs about the same as 3 bricks of...

Went to the gun show today at Novi, one of the larger shows in the state, on the western edge of the Detroit suburbs. I was surprised about the fairly large number of AR's, although quite a lot of them are the 22lr variety. Not much .223 etc. ammo available and even less 22lr ammo for that...

I'm aware of all the pros and cons of an ati pistol grip with full buttstock on a mossberg 500, but I do seem to have a problem with the installation. The slide no longer racks all the way back with that buttstock installed. I'm thinking that the original stock bolt is too long, but it looked...

Iwas just wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to check out this latest concealed carry version of a DAO 9mm? The slim profile sounds good for cc, but are there any holsters available? I've bought a couple of DAO handguns over the years from less than "top drawer" manufacturers, only to...

I was looking at these at the last gunshow I went to, kind of curious about the practicality of shooting an AK style gun offhand. Just wondering if anyone has one or shot one ? Is it something an average shooter can master or is it something only a Rambo-type should even consider? I was...

Can anyone with first hand knowledge about NcStar scopes tell me their experience with one of these? I understand they are inexpensive and you get what you pay for, etc. but I really would appreciate actual feedback from folks who have bought and used one of these. I'm considering a combination...

I'm having a hard time getting the trigger group to latch back in my Yugo SKS. All the instructions I've read makes it sound pretty straightforward. No matter how hard I "slap" the trigger guard down into the little catch, it never seems to grab it. I can clamp it down as far as it goes and it...

I have a short barreled Mossberg 500 with all the standard furniture. For me, it seems that the standard stock is 2 or 3 inches too long and my 65 yr. old shoulder is a little recoil sensitive. I tried a nice foam rubber boot extension on the butt, but now it's even a little longer than before...

My brother-in-law bought a new revolver a couple days ago and he was told by the Firearms dealer that Mi. no longer requires the so-called safety inspection of a newly purchased handgun by the local sheriff or police dept. That would sound like good news, but I'm wondering if this is true, it...

I bought a new Mossy shortbarrel shotgun last fall and took it out this afternoon for the first time to try it out. I was surprised to find that I could'nt get more than 2 shells in the magazine tube. I was reasonably sure that this gun was supposed to hold 5 shells. When I try to push the 3rd...

I've been giving some thought about getting a short barrel shotgun, like a Mossberg and was looking for some answers to legal questions. I know this is mainly a home defense weapon, but was interested in what Michigan law says about transporting in vehicles, etc. Since Packing.org has been...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Kel Tecs new PF9? I used to have a P3AT that I'd bought on a whim, only to discover that the .380 recoil on a handgun that small and with such a short grip, would make that little gun almost jump out of my hand. Also, the ammo for that gun was a...

I succumbed to the urge to pick up a new plinker last Saturday, while heading "up north" past one of central Michigan's favorite outdoor superstores and bought a Bersa Firestorm 22LR. I had heard a lot of good things about different Bersa and Firestorm models and found the shorter 3 1/2 in...

I picked up an older S&W model 617 a few months ago on Gun Broker and it does seem to have some "issues". It seems to shave lots of lead during a typical range session, some of it spits back at me and the rest gets all over my equipment. I also noticed that after a hundred rounds or so, the...

Got into a minor mishap in Lansing last week, while trying to negotiate the usual springtime road construction obstacle course in a not too nice section of town. A lady (?) ran me off the road after claiming I ran her off, first. The first time I laid eyes on her, she was pulling alongside...

I've had an interest in the older style Ruger 38/357 revolvers and thinking it might be time to buy. I found one that's in pretty mint condition, but is also the 200th anniversary of freedom special. What would be a fair price for a speed six and how much of a premium would this special edition...

I was looking at a German made revolver on one of the auction sites and can't seem to find much info about this Rohm Liberty .22 revolver. It's not getting a lot of bids, didn't know if there is a reason for that or maybe nobody else has heard of them either. Any first or second hand info would...

I just got the Gander Mountain insert from Sunday's paper and it looks like a guy could pretty much take his pick of a Ruger 22/45, a Beretta Neos 22, or a S&W 22A, all marked down to 199.99. For 10.00 more, they offer the Browning Buckmark. I've been looking for a .22 target pistol and all...
