Hi fellas, I bought a used Ruger PC Carbine, ran the serial number and it came back as made in 1996. It's actually a "Police Carbine". It looks like the modern PC Carbine but it's not a take down. I searched as best I could for the answer to my question on Google but found nothing. Ruger cannot...

Hello, I've had a Marlin 336C since 1975. It's been flawless until one hiccup. The lever was "stuck closed". The rifle was loaded with one in the chamber. To empty the weapon, I unscrewed the magazine cap and removed the spring. This allowed the emptying of the rifle. Took it apart, cleaned and...

My KelTec PF-9's firing pin doesn't hit the primer hard enough to fire the round. There's just a small dimple on the primers. Brand new, out of the box. This is with assorted brands of ammo. When I first contacted KelTec at 4:00 EST, the recording said they were closed. "Please call back...

I downloaded info from the ATF site trying to figure out if attaching a vertical foregrip to a Century Arms Model 39 (AK-47 "Pistol") is legal. The wording in the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Firearms Act seem pretty nebulous and to be honest, I am totally bamboozled. Does anyone...

I really hesitated to ask this but it's bothering me so much that I need to hear what can be expected. I'm 53, been shooting since I was 6, was a full time police officer from 1981 until I retired as a Sgt on disability Feb 2011. I was on our Drug Task Force Entry Team, SWAT team and have...

I've never posted a single negative word about Taurus on this or any other forum. Fact is I've always mentioned that they produce an ok handgun. My son has a less than 2 year old M-66 as well as a 24/7. Well, the M66 acted up at the range. The cylinder, while supposedly locked, spun clockwise...

Any of you fellows own one? Would like to hear your thoughts & opinions if you care to share. I'm looking at the 30.06 version. Thanks!

Not sure where to post this, but I do want to say a very heart felt and sincere "Thank you" to staffers Shane Tuttle and 44 AMP. I posted a lengthy post in another thread and they took a lot of time to carefully and very cordially answer that post. Above & beyond. Nobody told me to, or...

I've mentioned several times here that the M1 carbine is my 1st choice for all-time prettiest carbine. As a kid, I was "infatuated" with them. But when I shot them, there were feeding problems. I never owned any because I felt that they were less than reliable. Here's my questions..... 1...

How much accuracy is gained in a Remington M40 vs a standard Remington 700? That goes for Savage also. How much more accuracy is there in a Military or LE rifle than what's bought off the store shelf? Are we talking an inch at 400 yards, more, less? I was always curious about this. From the...

How many times can you reload .45 ACP brass before they should be discarded? Also, on a low pressure round such as the .45 ACP, can bullet setback occur, or is the pressure too low?

I was looking back over some of the older threads and came upon something that PAX had written. Here's the link......http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=336553). Her's is post #13. She wrote just about the best answer to how a gun test SHOULD be written and conducted. Problem is...

My XD-45 finally had a major malfunction. Was shooting factory loaded Federal 230 HB as is the regular load and the slide just froze shut. The thing wouldn't budge at all. I ejected the magazine and tried and tried to no avail to get it to rack. The guide rod was protruding out an extra...

I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on this subject....Why do some .45 shooters prefer the 7 shot 1911 over the high capacity 13 round models such as the Glock 21 & the Springfield XD? .45 ACP is my favorite caliber & the 1911 models available today are beautiful. But I'm now...

Does anyone know why H&K won't import the MP5 or even the .45 UMP to the USA? My understanding is that the military and law enforcement AGENCIES, not police officers, can have them, but they can not be registered to the police officer themself. Before 1986, this was not the case. Is this info...

Anybody else really enjoying the second season with Larry Vickers, Kyle DeFoor and Jason Falla on the Tactical Impact and now Tactical Arms programs that run on the Sportsman's Channel? These guys are top notch in their field and the shows are very realistic when it comes to what can and can...

In another part of our forum there is a thread on ricochets. Here's a copy of one that's been around for a while now. Pretty amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ABGIJwiGBc

What are your thoughts on this caliber? Best rifle for it? What type of game would you consider it for? Anything you like or dislike about it? Thank you!

I'm curious to hear your opinions on guns writers, past and present. Who are your favorite gun writers? Anybody you don't like reading? Thanks everybody.

If a top notch company, such as S&W, Springfield, SigSauer, etc were to come out with a modern version of the P-08 Luger, would you buy one? I would, and I am guessing that a great many others would as well. I shot my uncle's P-08 when I was a teen-ager, but he lived out of state. Although I...
