I am buying a CZ 452 American in .17HMR and I have a Leupold VX-II 4-12X40 scope to mount on it. Will I need high rings for this? I have heard that the bolt throw is high. Thanks!

I recently shot my 686 and, after cleaning it, reassembled the cylinder/crane. Oddly, I couldn't get the cylinder to fit back into the frame. After fiddling with it for awhile, it did go back in. However, now, even though the cylinder will rotate when I dry fire the revolver, it is difficult to...

In looking at some of the rifle scopes on various sites, I see the terms "1st plane" and "2nd plane" used. Can someone enlighten me on just what that is referring to? :confused: Thanks!

If buying a new .44 Mag revolver today, which would you buy: the Ruger Redhawk or the S&W 629? And why? :) Thanks!

I have a Weaver K-4 scope which I purchased about 3 years ago for a .30 caliber rifle. I have since sold that rifle and was wondering if this 4X scope would work on a .22LR rifle like a Ruger 10/22? Are there parallax issues here? Thanks!

I am planning to buy my first single-action revolver and the new Ruger Vaqueros sound like a good choice. However, I notice that the website always shows only the right side of these revolvers. On an older post here, a member showed the left side in his pic of his gun and there was "warning"...

After reading the thread below on single-shot rifles, I was perusing Ruger's site and looking at the Ruger No. 1 rifle in Standard and Varminter configurations. Very nice rifles! :) I have two Ruger rifles, a M77 in .223 and a M77-22. Both had lawyer-proof triggers out of the box which I had...

Springfield Armory produces the M-1 Garand in both the original .30-06 and .308. My question is, which of the two rifles, all else being equal, would produce the less recoil (of the two calibers). I ask because I have glaucoma and my opthamologist warned me that I am at greater risk of detached...

I am in the process of ordering my first M-1 Garand from the CMP. I have the choice of a Springfield Armory or H & R. Which would you all recommend. Or, is there really any difference. I notice that the H & R is $25.00 more. Does anyone know why? Thanks!

I'm thinking of getting into another caliber, the .40 S&W. The two pistols that I'm considering are the Sig 229 and Glock 22. I have owned two Glocks (17 & 19) but sold them because I didn't like the Tupperware-feel of the lower half. However, since then I have become convinced of the strength...

I just received a Bell & Carlson Duramaxx stock for my Savage 10FP. I notice that it does not have a hole for the rear trigger guard screw. Is that correct or did they send me the wrong stock? This stock has a hole for the forearm screw and one for the front trigger guard screw only. Thanks for...

I just installed the Rifle Basix #2 trigger on my Savage 10FP. Had all the screws adjusted (by dumb luck!) to a good pull. Had dry fired it a few times and took it to the range today to try it out. When I got to the range, the bolt would not open. The safety is off but the action won't work...

Based on good advice which I received here, I recently purchased a Beeman R-9 air rifle in .20 caliber. I have an R-7 in .177 which I love shooting. Two things struck me immediately when shooting the R-9 (compared to the R-7). First. cocking the R-9 is much harder than the R-7. Is this because...

For those of us (temporarily) trapped behind the lines in Kali, has anyone actually purchased and used one of those FAB-10 "legal" receivers for the AR-15? Do they work? What do you do if you bend the feedlips on the magazine? Can you replace it? And where do you buy one over the Internet (have...

I recently asked advice about a 1970's Colt Trooper .357mag revolver I own (it was "spitting" lead). Following said advice, I sent it off to the Colt factory to have it fixed. They sent me an estimate ($52.00)and I called to authorize the work. While I had them on the phone, I asked if they...

I was looking at the Leupold scopes in 6.5 x 20 x 40 and noticed that they have two which include "E.F.R." in their description but no explanation. Can someone tell me what that stands for? Thanks!

M1A Scout Squad rifle owners? Since I live in California (for now!), I am restricted in what military-style rifles I can buy. The one I am eyeing is the Springfield M1A. However, I am fairly small in stature and shot an M-1 once and found it fairly unwieldy. I notice that the Scout Squad has a...

I purchased a used .357 magnum revolver and took it out to the range to try it out. Shoots well and is very accurate. However, on some shots I felt a "spray" coming back from the revolver and the fellow next to me commented on being hit by particles of something from time to time. I was shooting...

I've read all the threads about the Sharpshooter trigger and am considering buying one for my Savage 10FP. However, while it states that it is a "drop-in" unit, I'm wondering just how easy it is to install. I am mechanically-challenged so tasks like honing, grinding, etc. are a bit beyond me...

I'm going to purchase a Sig 225 but have noticed that none of the sites I usually purchase gun stuff from list magazines for the 225. Can anyone direct me to a site which does carry them? And what is the cost, usually? Thanks.
