IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE PRODUCT: Thompson Center Venture Rifle. DESCRIPTION OF THE HAZARD: During an internal technical review, Smith & Wesson determined that some of the sears used on Venture rifles produced from August 1, 2011 to October 28, 2011, may not...

I doubt it's got a warranty. The rifle in the picture was made in the 70s and is in a shop after they got it from an estate sale.

I figured that's what it was. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks!

A customer came in and completely stumped me today. As many times as I've cleaned these things, it never caught my attention. Colt Sporter. What is that in the red circle and what is the reason for it?

I heard a sales man one time trying to convince a customer that a Springfield Armory GI 1911 was both double and single action. I disagreed and he went out of his mind on me. I made him "prove" it and when he couldn't he got yelled at for not checking the gun before pulling the trigger and lost...

Closet gun to me right now is my Benelli Super Nova. Won it in a contest a few years ago. It's actually patiently awaiting a cleaning.

I generally don't scope my guns. I have two that actually have scopes, one is my Remington 700 the other is my Ruger 10/22. The scope on the 10/22 broke years ago, it won't move at all to be zeroed, but I left it there because I can see the irons and still use the scope to make sure I'm hitting...

Yeah... I wouldn't mind trying that, personally. I get tired of saying the person's name is Bob and they ask me to spell it. It just adds to my lack of faith in the human species.

It has nothing to do with a database for the ATF. What I was referencing are people like myself... the chick in the back room who has to fill out the bound book, fill out the information for QuickBooks, etc., and somehow has to read the chicken scratch someone put on the paperwork because they...

I grew up in an anti-gun family, so I was 22 when I shot my first gun. I had taken a job with an armored car company and we were required to go through a training class and state qualification in order to carry the issued gun. The first time I ever actually fired a gun was when I stood at the...

The only thing I can possibly see it solving is the completely horrific handwriting of a lot of people. The only thing terrible handwriting does is mess with the person who's job it is to file the paperwork and no one else. Otherwise, I don't see any good reason for an E-4473.

He's lived that long because he hasn't laid down out there yet. LOL!

What I noticed was a real good mix, but there did seem to be an awful lot of new gun buyers. There was also a record number of applications for concealed handgun permits, too. I'll admit, I did buy a gun that week myself. It wasn't my first, by a long shot, but I did buy one. However, I got...

I would vote that something was wrong with it. I once went to a table where the guy wouldn't let anyone lift up the rifles off the table and refused to show them the side on the table. Considering they were all Mosin Nagants, I walked off quickly.

When I first started working in a gun shop they put me back on the firing range as my probation period. One night there was a guy out on the range, he'd been out for a while. His friend came out to use the bathroom, so this guy was alone out in the range. I was the only one left manning the...
