Hey Everyone, I have asked this question on a couple of sites, no one seems to know for sure..maybe someone here can help.. I have owned a 12 ga Mossberg 500 for years. Don't shoot it much, but when I do, it might be 50 - 100 clays a weekend at the range, a handful of times per year...

Much obliged, thanks guys..

Bought a fairly new (2008) Romanian PSL-54C. Just love the gun. I was fooling around with the scope at the range and stripped a very tiny set screw on the elevation setting. The screw was tapped adjacent to the adjustment screw itself to hold it in place. I was able to find a screw at Ace...

My wife will let me treat myself this year to a nice present.. I own 22s, shotguns and a Mosin, all of which are fine. I would like to add an American centerfire rifle to my collection. I don't hunt game but like to target shot frequently 50 - 300 yard ranges. I want an accurate gun for the...

Great post... Let's get down to it. Having lived in Washington, Southern Cal and Arizona for many years I can relate to much of what has been said.. The truth is the number one thing you need for survival above all else is drinkable water. People and animals will congregate and fight...

Just bought one from Big-5 yesterday.. 1937 Tula 91/30 $99.00 clean through and through. Shiny bore, clean stock. I do have a question for AH-1.. My rifle also has a "B" with a circle around it. No 02 though. In 1937 Hungarians and Russians were not the best of friends, in fact later...

Just bought my 2nd 91/30. It is a 1937 Tula. Really clean stock, shiny barrel, very firm action, just a few refurb stamps on the action, almost no markings on the stock except a circle with a B in the middle, which I believe means Budapest arsenal. Virtually no cosmoline to been seen. All...

I have owned a Mosin for about seven months now and have shot approx 250 rounds. Love the gun and baby it. I clean it everytime I come back from the range. I check the firing pin protrusion every time I clean the gun. Yesterday going through my routine I noticed a pit on the surface of...

Go with the CZ.. I bought three .22s in the last six months, a Savage Mark II, a Marlin 925 and the CZ 452. Been shooting all three with the family at the range, CZ hands down.

Let me tell you all why I want the baton.. The story I am about to tell you is actually quite similar to, and was not far from, and about two years later than an incident in the Northern Arizona woods. In that incident, a man shot a transient with aggressive dogs in the woods. That man, went...

I am a rifle guy, don't own any handguns. I was at a local gun show and bought one of those telescopic batons. In doing some research, I found out it is ok to carry the baton in plain site, but if I keep it in my car or stuff it into a pocket I need a concealed carry permit. That got me...

Closest one to Heber is in Payson Tonto Rim Sports Club. Just off the 87. I go there all the time. Nice range, nice people.

A lot of good choices out there... For family plinking I recently bought three 22 LRs... CZ 452 Pappa Bear Marlin 925R Mama Bear Savage Mark II Baby Bear All three are very accurate. The Savage is by far the lightest of...

Thanks... So do new rifles need to be broken in ? That might be the issue since both brands have the same problem. During the 22LR shortage I bought 10 bricks of Federals so I am somewhat stuck (non-pun intended) for a while until I use them up. I do have some Winchesters on hand which don't...

Recently I have bought two 22LRs for the family to use for plinking. A Savage Mark II and a Marlin 925R. Both have synthetic stocks and both are very accurate. Last go around I used some Federal Champions and low and behold out of 150 rounds six failed to extract in the Savage. Had to...
