Seen a lot of posts lately about the quality of Marlin guns. Especially the levers and .22 rifles. Has quality gone downhill since Marlin moved production away from Conn.? I bought both my Marlins (a 336w and 925 .22) pre-2008, and was thinking about another 336 or maybe a 1894c .357. But if...

Dear folks, Just bought a Marlin 336 yesterday. Looked it over while handling it at the store, and brought it home. Today, when I field-stripped it to clean it, I noticed that the rear sight was skewed to the left! Not real noticeably, but enough that it'll probably be shooting a little off at...

Ok. I got my 10/22 down to the bare pieces, and having found a wonderful video showing the reassembly, proceeded to attempt to put it back together. I got it almost entirely completed before I realized that both the trigger unit wouldnt work and also the safety wouldnt work. Im sure Im not...

Its almost like fate was with me today. Im at Gander Mountain to pick up some ammo, and I wander over to the used guns section, as per normal. Lo and behold, I see a 1944 dated Mosin Nagant M44 carbine. An Izzie. With a wooden aftermarket sporter stock. Im estatic, because I really want a...

Looking for anybody's opinion on the Ruger New Vaquero in the .357 magnum flavor. I have around $500 saved up, waiting on another $100 or so for some ammo. I love revolvers, and have wanted a larger framed revolver than what I already own (Smith Model 10 2", NAA Black Widow .22mag). This...

To aid in ease of concealment, I've been wanting to get a smaller rubber grip for my 2" M10. I have a Hogue Monogrip that is just too big. While perusing Pachmayr's website, I noticed that their compac and compac professional grips only come in the round butt flavor. Would I still be able to use...

For lack of funds with which to purchase new guns (for at least a little while), my sole gun purchase this summer will be a Nagant 7.62mm revolver. I've wanted one of these revolvers for awhile now, and at about $80 for an almost brand new (and historic) piece is too good a deal to pass up...

If you could have one handgun and one long gun for a SHTF type scenario, what would it be? Keep in mind, these guns not only have to protect you and your family/friends, but also that they can serve as food-procuring tools (i.e. hunting). The only caveat is that you can only carry 100 rounds of...

. . . if you had the choice, would you get either the Bulgarian SSR85 or the Vector Arms Classic Ak-47 w/ wood furniture (both on atlanticfirearms.com). And why? I just want a dependable, reasonably accurate and reliable AK -- and these are a step or two above the Rom. WASR's that Ive heard...

Anybody have this? Quality? Fit and Finish? Accuracy with regular sights (no scope)? Price check? Magazines? Thanks.

So I should make enough money over summertime to be able to purchase a few guns -- one of which I want to be a rifle. I have 4 guns already, a Glock 19, a S&W prelock model 10, a Ruger 10/22 and a Rem 870 20 GA. However, I really want a good rifle in a decent caliber that can be used in a...

I was just wondering if a full size 12 GA with a 18" barrel and decent factory recoil pad would have less recoil than a youth 20 GA? I bought a Rem. 870 20 GA youth with a 21" barrel and although it has proven reliable and decent for home defense, the stock pad sucks. I put a slip on recoil pad...

So, basically, to make a long story short, after shooting a couple hundred rounds through our glock 19s, I decide to take my noob friend under my wing and attempt to help him understand how to clean his weapon (like its rocket science, right?). Anyway, as Im showing him how to clean the bore, he...

Hello all, My father just bought a slightly used Ruger Sp101 3". Man thats a sweet little shooter. Does anybody have any suggestions as to a good OWB holster for the Ruger. Your insight is appreciated. Jeff

I've seen this type of thread posted in a couple other forums. I was just wondering if anybody constantly carried a light like I do. Actually, I carry three. I have a Princeton Tec Pulsar keychain light, and another keychain-type LED light that I got free with an order from batteryjunction.com...

My father has decided to get me a more concealable pistol for my birthday -- I carry my XD9 all the time but want something a bit smaller. I've heard good and bad things about both the Kel-Tec p11 and the Taurus pt111, but specifically like to hear about three issues important to me...
