Hi All: I'm looking at purchasing a rifle that has some pitting and rust on the barrel and receiver. It is not deep but is fairly sizable. Largest spot is the size of two quarters. What are my options for repairing the pitting? And then once repaired, am I limited to a GunKote or Parkerized...

All: thanks for the info, and please keep it coming. Will try to answer some questions posed: I'm leaning toward gas right now. I've read up on the inertia systems and not sure if its right for me. I'm not recoil adverse, but the lesser recoil of the gas with 3.5" loads is appealing. This...

Hi all: I'm looking for a good-to-higher end autoloader that is designed to shoot light target loads, all the way up to 3.5" turkey loads. Will be used for dove, duck, turkey, and clays (non-competitive). Camo finish is a must. Prefer a 26" barrel for all around use (right?). Right now I'm...

Checked and only have 2.75" of groove on the mounting rail. So it looks like the cantilever mount above or this one: http://www.bkltech.com/BKL-1-Wide-Double-Strap-Offset-Dovetail-Rings-p/bkl-278.htm I'm thinking the 2 piece cantilever will be a better option, since it has twice the clamping...

RC: your input is greatly appreciated. I'm open to running whatever will work best (meaning hold firm under any recoil the gun will see, so 3" slug I guess). Are the CZs up to the job? I'm hesitant about using air rifle stuff on a shotgun, but for 11mm that is just about all I can find...

Just picked up a Remington/Baikal SPR94 12 Gauge/.223 combo gun this weekend. Enjoyed shooting it at the range -- now trying to scope it with the odd/small 11mm base that is on it. Anyone with info head over to the "Accessories" page!

Hi all: I just got a Remington SPR94 over/under combo gun in 12 gauge and. 223. I'm wanting to mount a Nikon shotgun scope on it. The gun comes with an integral 11mm base. I'm not familiar with these but after searching for some rings, it looks like 11mm are primarily found on .22s or...

mesinge2: Thanks for pointing that one out, but I'm looking for one with a stainless slide. Those appears to have blued steel slides unless I'm overlooking one...

Smith's website is down, but I was able to find this one: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/18168/Smith+%26+Wesson+SW1911SC+.45acp+5%22+Matte+Gray Looks exactly like what I'm looking for! Thank you! If anyone knows of any others, please let me know.

I've tried to find a 1911 with a light(er)-weight alloy frame and a stainless slide but have not had any luck. Is there is such a thing? I've found the Colt Lightweight Commander, but it is obviously the Commander-sized version. It does not have to be a current production gun. Thanks...

I'm still following! The 317 may be under the tree waiting...

Ha! Funny you mention that b/c I'm tossing around that decision. Help me understand though: why would the same gun, just made of different material, function differently? Does it have different tolerances in reality? Meaning couldn't a 63 suffer the same problem?

Thanks for the update! Am looking at the 317 "kit" gun (3") and am curious about this issue, as it seems others have experienced it as well.

What's the word on the fix, tubeshooter?

I see what you are saying. To answer your question: No, this bill does not address the age issue directly. Age is not mentioned. However, I would think that if Alabama goes "shall issue", as this bill would do, then the sheriff could not deny anyone a permit based under 18, since 18 is an...
