    Unconverted Saiga 12

    I live in the People's Republic of New Jersey. Here, any shotgun with a pistol grip or that can hold more than six rounds in the magazine/tube is considered an illegal "assault weapon". I am considering getting the Saiga 12. I already have a Saiga 223 that I did the conversion on and love it...

    Looking for a nice trap gun

    I have a Mossy 500 that I can get by with when shooting trap. I have been interested in buying a nice gun that would last a lifetime. I am overwhelmed by the choices and the costs. Would a Remington 1100 Classic Trap fit the bill? I have a Mossy 500 that I can get by with when shooting trap. I...

    Filling Shooting Rest Bags w/Sand

    I bought two Protektor bags from Midway. I should've paid the extra $$$ for pre-filled ones. The neck on these is so skinny that I am finding it impossible to fill with playground sand from Home Depot. Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it? Thanks.

    Any Reason Not To Get A FLGR in a 1911 Commander

    I have a new Dan Wesson CBOB in 10mm. This gun is fitted really tightly. It is the only 1911 that I have ever actually had to use the bushing wrench for. That is part of the problem. Sometimes I just want to take off the slide to apply some oil/grease to the slide rails. With the GI guide rod...

    Spotting Scope strength for 17HM2/223

    I am looking to buy a spotting scope because the holes my CZ452 in 17HM2 makes are too darn small to see at 100 yards, even with the scope sometimes. I have the same problem with 223 at further distances. What magnification, brands, models should I be looking for? I know there's no such thing as...

    Optimal barrel length for a rifle in 223

    If you ignore the weight of the rifle (it's not a consideration since I won't be hunting with it), what is the best length for a 223 rifle barrel? Is there a length at which there is a drop off in velocity/range. In the rifles I am looking at the barrels range between 20" and 26". This would be...

    AR vs Bolt Action for target shooting in 223

    I have an AR-22 from Spike Tactical, so I would only need an upper if I went the AR route. On the other hand, I have an affinity for nice bolt action rifles (and I tend to blow through less ammo in them than in semi-autos). What would you recommend I get to do some target shooting at ranges from...

    Touching up a flat black finish

    I have a Remington 700P LTR. It has a matte black finish. I just took off the EGW Mounting rail I had attached to the receiver. I think the excess loctite or friction has made the surface of the reciever bluish-white in a small spot near the mounting screwhole. Does anyone have any suggestions...

    Decent Cheap Red Dot Scope for a Ruger 10/22?

    I am looking for a decent red dot scope for my Ruger 10/22 to do some plinking. I would like to stay in the $100 and less range. I know you get what you pay for, but this isn't going on my AR, it's just for plinking. Some of the super cheap red dots are hard to see unless your surroundings are...

    Looking for a 1911 Commander

    I am looking for a Commander length 1911 in 45ACP that will be accurate enough to target shoot well at 25 yards. I am comfortable spending up to the $1000 range (although hopefully less). I have a few preferences, but they are not dealbreakers 1) I prefer blued guns. 2) No Front Cocking...

    Marlin 60 vs 795

    I am looking for an inexpensive but accurate 22LR semi-auto rifle. I am leaning towards Marlin since I have liked their lever guns so much. I see the Model 60, which is a classic and the one I was initially leaning towards. I checked Marlin's website and see the Model 795. It looks like the same...

    New all metal compact 9mm

    I sold my P7, which was a perfect sized compact 9mm. I am using the money to fund a rifle purchase, but it made me wonder what handgun I will get to replace it. I want a fairly slim compact all metal (grips excepted, of course) handgun in 9mm. It should be compact, not sub-compact. I don't care...

    Rules for shipping ammo

    Does anyone know the rules for shipping ammo via US Mail, UPS, or Fedex? I don't think that there is a hazardous materials fee like with primers.

    Springfield M1A - 308 vs 7.62 ammo

    Can someone straighten me out on this? I am interested in getting a nice long range rifle in 308. I have a Colt Match Target already, so I wasn't looking to go the AR route. I had my sights set on a Springfield M1A. I have since read about possible problems with using commercial 308ammo...

    Ambi CZs

    Do any of the CZ pistols have ambidextrous controls besides the CZ85? I am really liking these guns, but am a lefty and need at least a safety/decocker to be on the right side. Thanks.

    922R Compliance and single stack AK Mags

    I have been reading about 922R and am confused about it. I have read that the EAA PAP is New Jersey compliant, but also read about people wanting to make changes to it (modifying to take double stack mags) then having to do things to be 922R compliant. When the gun is sold in America by EAA...

    Looking for a first pump shotgun

    I am set on buying a pump shotgun. I've been looking at Remingtons and Mossbergs online, but am open to other brands as well. This would be a home defense, trap, SHTF, and all-purpose gun. What is a good compromise length for me? I wouldn't want to have to be swinging a 28" barrel around...

    Bolt does not lock after last round fired

    This is on a Ruger PC-9 Carbine. I have tested with four different magazines, so I know that it isn't a mag issue. I just bought the gun so i can't say 100% whether this is a new problem. The seller assures me that it never happened for him, but also that he hasn't shot it in a long time (why he...
