Has anyone used Gunstop.com? I found their info on another site and found some favorable reviews on another forum. Just curious....as they are new to me. Thanks.

I need some .264 brass as ammo is next to impossible to find. I currently have a small amount of Rem and Win once fired brass. I found some Winchester brass and lots of Nosler brass sources. Is .264 Nosler brass worth the extra cost? I have a Rem 700 with a factory barrel which was purchased...

I noticed several print articles as of late concerning foreign contractors in the Mideast with various FA military hardware? These US companies aren't considered LEO right? So how do they acquire some the weapons they have - new MP-5's, new SAW's, etc? Are they US companies with FA guns from...

Just a simple question that my searching as yet to show a clear concise answer....can a standard hunting model 11-87 (assume 28" barrel) have its barrel cut to 18.25" without any other modifications? As in gas port modified to still cycle the gun? Scattergun modified 11-87's at one time but...

223 & 243 Wssm?? I have seen some reamers available for this and heard these are basically a WSM with the shoulder bumped back (.01"?) via some forums but nothing more. The internet turned up some info on 6.5 and .25 WSM but not on these two. Anyone have any more info of these (design...

I have done and elaborate search here and turned up some things but nothing exactly like I wanted. I have access to AutoCAD, scrap steel, welding and a machine shop. I am interested in making some steel targets to shot at with revolvers and high powered rifles. 70 yards or more. No ricohet...

Can I install a SpeedFeed stock with the pistol grip/full stock on a 11-87 Police model and still be legal? I know...I know...I've researched all the arguments against pistol grip/full stocks but I guess I have to learn the hard way. I handled an 11-87 Police model at a show this weekend and...

I recently bought a LNIB PSS in .308. It will be my first attempt at some longer range shooting (start at 300 and work my way up to 1000). I have decided on Badger Ordnance 20 MOA base and rings. I will hunt deer and shoot targets with this gun. Additionally I have narrowed my scope choices...

I recently spotted a 45 Colt Anaconda for a good price ($445) that I am considering picking up. Most of the stuff I read has an Anaconda, Redhawk and Blackhawk will handle hot loads in 45 Colt (near .44). Anyone know the Anaconda is okay first hand with these hot loads? Also what IS a hot...

I found a 629 with a full underlug 8" barrel yesterday used for $719. Sounds high but I am going to check this out on Gun Broker next. Anyway, what was the last revision on the 629? 629-4? 629-5? Also anyone know how to read the serial numbers to determine year of manufacture? Thanks.

Inertia-operated versus gas-operated? I have a SBE and I know from use of it that if fired off the hip it will eject the shell but not load the next. No matter how hard I try to hold it. It has to have something to push against to load. So... Wouldn't an inertia-operated gun be a...

I noticed in this month's Shotgun News that CDNN Investments is selling Desert Eagle VII in 357 and 41 Mag for $649. I have an affection for .41's so a Desert Eagle in .41 would be interesting. I also realize a Desert Eagle is really nothing more than "a fun gun" so I don't care about its...

I recently spotted a used Weatherby Mark V in 270 Weatherby Mag and the cartridge has always intriqued me so I am considering buying it. However I really like the look and feel of the Accumark and SBM, however at the same dealer they are about $1100 new. So I figure a new barrel...

In my weakness of Winchester rifle's knowledge I have a few questions. I see in the local gun store that some 70's have a bolt design similar to a Remington 700 and others have one similar to a Ruger M77. What's up with the difference? I assume the one designed like the Ruger is controlled...

I didn't see it included in any pictures of it at the Shot Show.....is Kimber ever going to sell these? Anyone know?

I recently saw some pictures from the Shot Show that GunBlast.com took. There is going to be a .218 Bee, .30 Hornet, and of most importance to me a .41 Mag Raging Bull. Their website shows nothing about any of these. Anyone heard anything about these? Also why is there a 6 shot .45 Long Colt...

Interesting both Ruger and Weatherby are producing SXS's this year. I like the look of the Ruger's better but I can't make a final decision until I have seen both. Still it's interesting...

I have a buddy going with us Saturday that is disabled from the waist down. We are hunting out of a cornfield so he have no real cover. He can get out of his chair and lay on the ground. But we are not allowed to dig on this property so a pit is out. Anybody have an innovative idea on how to...

I had a guy tell me that the reports he is getting is that the geese are just now coming down Illinois. Anyone in my area confirm or deny this? I know I haven't seen any migrating...

I spotted two new 870 16 GA this last weekend. Remington decided to bring the 16Ga back? Hot damn. They decide to make a 11-87 in 16 Ga and I am buying one. Anyone have one of these 870's in 16?? The dealer only wanted $259 new synthetic.
