I've searched everywhere and cannot find an answer. I'm putting together a .40S&W 1911. I'm going to use a series 70 configuration. Do I have to have a caliber specific firing pin stop? Or will one like this work...

I got bored and polished the receiver of a $60 break action I bought the other day. It's polished to a high sheen now. How can I protect the metal from rust, while keeping the brushed steel look?

I recently started shooting IPSC/USPSA. I decided to buy myself a new pistol. I chose for myself the S&W M&P40. Earlier this week I tallied up my total rounds through the gun and I'd finally passed 2,000 rounds (I'm up to 2,230 by the time I write this). I have had ZERO failures of any kind...

I know this has been covered time and time again, but I have a fairly simple question. I want to reload a bunch of once fired .40S&W brass I bought. I have noticed some very slight bulges I attribute to being fired out of Glocks. Assuming they will all chamber after being re-sized, how much...

I'm trying to order a set of weaker recoil springs for my M&P40 and the distributor I'm ordering from (maxmichel.com) doesn't have a place to specify the model you're ordering them for. Are recoil springs universal or something?:confused:

I'm looking for a pistol that I can use in the production class of IPSC, USPSA, and IDPA. What pistols in either 9mm or .40S&W (I reload) are available that can be used in each of these competitions. Would I be at a severe disadvantage to use a compact pistol like a Glock 19/23 as opposed to...

just like the title says. I want to spy on the other guys so to speak. Anyone?

How durable is the finish on an AR-15? Specifically scratches and rust. I've already put a fairly light scratch on my RRA :o. Is there any way to repair these? I plan for it to be utilitarian, so I know it won't stay pristine forever, but I'd like to know how everyone else keeps their AR's...

Everywhere I've checked is out of stock. Does anyone know where some .224" bullets are available? Specifically cheap FMJ. I need some for cheap blasting ammo.

I want to take my 6" GP100 on a 5 day camping trip this coming week. It is supposed to rain most of the time we are there. I have a nylon and a leather holster, the nylon has an open bottom and the leather is sewn shut on the bottom. My question is this: How well will the finish hold up even if...

I didn't know where else to put this, so mods move to wherever you see fit. Here's my problem. A friend and I are going on a camping trip next week for 6 days. We will be in the Sipsey Wilderness Area of Bankhead Nat'l Forest in Alabama. We're taking a hatchet, my Marlin 60, and a pot to...

I have recently bid on a stripped AR lower on gunbroker and am currently the high bidder. I just read that it is illegal to purchase a stripped AR lower if you are under 21. Does anyone know if this is true?

Quick question. I went to a gun shop for a sling for my model 60 I'm taking on a camping trip soon. They've got the ones that drill into the butt as well as the fore-end, but the guy said that the wood on the foreend was too thin, and I'd have to use a set that clamped around the mag tube. Is...

I recently bought a GP100 over a S&W 686, because I heard that the GP100 was much more durable. I handload all my own ammo and mainly shoot .38 specials out of it. I want to start making some scary .357's though. Just how durable is the GP100? How many stout loads can a GP100 take before it...

I have an itch for a new gun since I'll be getting my tax return soon. -I'm thinking maybe a lever action in .357 since I already have a GP100 (thinking about .22 but that'll make 3 rifles in that caliber) -I also think the Remington 7615 looks really cool. My only criteria are that the gun...

Any ideas? My current cheap electronic scale finally died so I'm in the market for a new one. My price range is limited since I'm your typical broke college student. About $80 is my maximum UNLESS the scale you suggest is REALLY worth it. Here are my criteria: -accurate to +/- .1 grain -quick...

I've loaded around 750 .38 special with .358" lead wadcutters. The cases have a slight bulge where the bullet is seated in the case. Is this normal? Is this going to shorten the life of the brass? After I've fired the round and the case has formed to the cylinder, the case seems like every...

Ok I know this may be an obvious question but I've fallen in love with Dan Wesson's PPC revolvers as well as the PPC "look." How does one get a hold of one of these style revolvers? Do they have to be specially done by a gunsmith? Because I can't seem to find any in any gun stores and they are...

I know this is vague, but could you fellows help me figure out what the problem is? I'm trying to throw exactly 3.0 grains but it will throw anywhere from 1 grain all the way to 5 grains without any adjustment. What can I do? I called Dillon they couldn't tell me much. Just suggested things...

I recently posted some of my groups that I shot with my rifle. I shot these from a bench using sandbags which let me know what my rifle was capable of. Now I want to find out what I am capable of. What is the best way to shoot "offhand" at targets 100+ yards?
