I love .357 rifles. I have a Marlin that's ridden in my truck for probably 15 years. I think they are hard to beat as a general purpose firearm. While I don't expect to go into combat with one I wouldn't want to get in a firefight with someone who was using one either. The combo of improved...

I've been kicking around getting an AK pistol for a while and after looking around on line I've realized I should have done this BEFORE Covid. I'm looking for something with an 11-12" barrel that takes AK mags in 7.62x39. I want to put a folding brace on it and if it can take an optic that...

Like the title says, what are my best sling options for a Henry lever action 001 .22 with under barrel mag tube? I've looked at the swivels that clamp to the mag tube. Are they secure? Since the mag tube is clamped to the barrel will it effect the point of aim? Are there other better options?

As was stated, the real question is how much you expect to be shooting it. One shot with maybe a single quick follow up isn't going to heat up your barrel enough to worry about. If you expect to dump several 10-15 round magazine through it, then what are you shooting at? If you are mag...

I'm about to redo my office at home. I haven't decided on anything final but the idea hit me to display a rifle on the wall. I have a variety to chose from but thought about putting one of my lever actions with some nice wood up someplace. We have no children in the house so it's just my...

I have a first generation PS90. Is there a way to remove the current optic and replace it with a rail like the newer models use? I called FN and the random customer service person said they didn't think so, but "I don't think" isn't the same as "I know for a fact". Any ideas?

I've got an AR lower I was going to build up before all the craziness hit the fan. For now I've got it on hold but I expect eventually all this will die down and I'll be able to buy parts for it again without taking out a second mortgage. So I'm looking for some opinions on barrel twist rate...

I'm pretty surprise at how poorly that penetrated. I was really expecting about twice that. Might make an interesting fragable (sp?) round for home defense for people worried about over penetration or missed shots as long as you're willing to trade off the decreased effectiveness for increased...

Thanks SAM1911, that would explain it. So I guess this is more of a state level problem. Still, the question remains valid. Why would they NEED the SN of my new guns? Seems kinda cheesy to me...

I bought a couple of new guns recently and the experience got me to wondering something. I purchased a couple of handguns from an online dealer and had them shipped to my local guy. He doesn't mind doing transfers since he considers it a good deal for him. He's a smaller shop, basically a one...

Please check the MI link I provided. It is not a link to the MI top rail, it is a link to a red dot holder that replaces the rear sight. I suppose I should expand my question to include both the MI rear sight replacement system AND the MI handguard replacement. So please feel free to give...

Wanted to get some feedback from people who have hands on experience with these three sight systems. I have an Arsenal AK without a side rail I want to put a red dot on. I also want to be able to use iron sights as a back up. So far the best three solutions I can find are; Texas Weapon...

At what point do restrictions on magazine capacity cross over from regulation to infringement? At what point can we get these laws struck down by the SCOTUS? I've been wondering about this lately since seeing what's happening in NY and other Northeastern states. One common way of...

Let me preface this with the fact that I am not in the gun business. This is just an observation I've made recently. Over the last several weeks I've been reading about all the panic buying. Yes, my local store shelves are empty also. In response to this crazy buying frenzy some stores are...

I think what you are asking for is something of a contradiction. To say you want a battle rifle but don't want a semi-auto is kind of confusing since most people would include that in the definition. If you want a "battle rifle" that has nice wood and feels traditional I'd suggest an M1A. Or a...
