Hello all. The shotgun in question is a 1902-vintage '97 take-down rescued from a barn. First problem I'm having is the Action Slide occasionally fails to pull the bolt home. The Action Hook that's attached to the bolt looks sound and not too badly worn. I'm thinking that the shoulder of the...

The wife and I went to visit my parents this past week and in an attempt to rid the attic and garage of junk, my dad gave me all of his old skeet equipment. Along with two reloaders(one for 12 and 20), I scored about 60lbs of once fired 12ga AA hulls, about 1000 Winchester primers, two bags of...

Everyone seems to have their favorite toy store. Some people are loyal to that one store because of low costs, good customer service, high inventory, etc. Some may choose that one store because it's the only one in their area. My favorite shop is not even a dedicated gun shop. Heck, it's not...

...or assembled it anyways. Compared to AK builds, this went together like Legos. Expensive Legos. I actually had a kit on order a year ago, but the long backorder wait gave my wife ample time to figure out that our money could be spent on other, more "important" things. Women. I had even...

I thought I had it down. Mags are mags and clip are clips. Then I came across this dinky little rifle today. It's a Revelation 225(Think it's cross-referenced to a Stevens/Savage?) and I guess they didn't get the clip/mag memo. What do you think?

I came across this curious looking pistol today a can't get it ou of my head. It was in fair/good cndition, and the only markings I saw in m brief encounter was "Steyr." My intenet research mounted little, but I think it's similar to the one shown on the link below...

Kind of a long story... So the wife went out of town today and left me all alone with the dogs, cat, and two horses. I got off work early today so I could muck the stalls, bring the horses in, and try to get a little site work done for our house that's under construction. I get the stalls...

...for being an ugly duckling, I present to you my newest build. It's a '78 G kit on an NDS-3 receiver. Since I like to keep my furniture options open, I used a RSA gas piston and the G2 trigger for compliance. The furniture is new Polytech. I love the short LOP and the classic look. I took...

We've been on the waiting list for this pup since April, and we finally got to pick him up this weekend. He's a registered lab with a better warranty than most new cars. He fits right in with our recent lab-mix rescue, and at 7 weeks, is already retrieving bumpers. I was wondering if anyone...

I had a few hours to kill yesterday afternoon, so I went into town to loiter at the local gunshop. I came across a CAI Cetme in the used rack. It was an 18" with a synthetic stock(usually means stamped and not cast receiver right?), and priced at $350. I think they're ugly as sin, but I'm...

Maybe it's His way of telling me to stop buying things I don't need, but is anyone one else waiting for a Del-Ton order? I ordered a 16" chrome-lined mid-length kit from them on 8/26, and a week later, a rep emailed me that they were out of the chrome-lined barrels. They offered me a non-chrome...

Ok guys(and FS2K), since this is my first NIB purchase, I'm getting butterflies. Do you AR-types approve of this kit as my entry to the realm of the black rifle? ie- Is DTI a good barrel, etc... It will sport a DPMS lower, A2 buttstock, and the chrome lined option. It's sole purpose will be that...

I simply cannot find anything locally that's not overpriced. Where do you guys pick up your uppers and lowers? BTW, I'm searching for a chrome-lined 5.56 20" flat top upper. edit- Is it best to go with the manufacturer(ie- Bushmaster, RRA, etc), or a third party?

I was at a pawn shop on my lunch break today, when I came across an oddity int he form of an old Winchester .22. I don't recall if it was LR or WCF, but it did have the following: Heavy octagon barrel of about 22" or more Full length, 4" wide stock that looked aftermarket or home-made Tang...

While mowing one of our pastures and my front yard for the first time this weekend, I flushed out a couple covies of some really plump looking quail. Two covies of about 5-7 to be exact. I'm not certain what type they were, but I'd like to know how to keep them around until quail season. I'd...

I just moved the the south Texas coastal area (near Arroyo City) and need some advice on how to curb humidity in my safe. I never needed more than a single desiccant pack at my previous location in central TX, but the Remington-brand packs I'm currently using need to be revamped every 10 or 12...

I was moving out of my old college apartment tonight, when I ran into our property's handy man. He asked me if I wanted a "Mossburger" 12ga for $100, so I said yes. I pretty much got it sight unseen, since it was dark outside.:D He said that he'd never fired it, and that the original owner(a...

I've tried to school myself on what that means, but can't visualize the difference between firing from an open bolt versus firing from a closed bolt. What's the difference, and does anyone have a .gif-type animation of what's going on? Does an open-bolt only apply to FA?

Hey guys, I'm making the plunge to get a good lab for our new south Texas property. It's going to be my fiance's graduation gift, so maybe I'll kill two birds with one stone.:D The last time I dove/quail hunted, I was the 10 year old bird dog, and I'd like to get a lab to do the leg work for...

I'm in the process of selling this pistol to a fellow board member, but don't want to sell a lemon. I've personally shot 2 boxes of ammo through it in the two months or so that I've owned it, and the original owner claimed he'd shot only one box through it. Otherwise the pistol is in great...
