Has this been entirely a result of demand? In other words, did the rate ammo was coming from the manufacturers decline?

How much should I expect to pay to have 3 in taken off a Marlin 336 (and done correctly)? Anything in particular I should be concerned about?

Minimal: 2 .22LR (redundancy for this essential) .308 Here's another scenario: You're allowed 500 rounds of ammo. Pick your own length of time that has to last for. You can have as many guns as you want, you don't have to own them now just pick them. But only 500 rounds. How do you allocate...

I bought a rifle with a Bushnell 3-9 scope that has no markings. How can I determine (since I'm not familiar with Bushnell) what scope it is? Thanks!

I'll take some pics in the am. I assumed, maybe wrongly, that whatever would take off the rust would also take off the blueing and re-blueing would be necessary.

I've acquired a Winchester Model 37 break-open single shot 20 ga from the 50s. It has been in my extended family and while I was pleased to get it, I was disappointed that it has been neglected for many years. I think it is mechanically fine and was in good condition when stuck in a closet for...

Does the Savage 64 use the same 10 rd magazine as the Mark II? Also, is there any aftermarket higher capacity mag for the 64? Thanks!

Sorry, I meant .30 M1 Carbine, not .30-06.

I've been searching for .30 M1 long range ballistics at say, 450 yards. Seems to me the drop would be extreme at that range, but I can't find any data. Any sources?

I'm looking for a good how-to on not just maintenance, but some restoration in bringing blades back that have been abused and sharpening. Obviously I'm not a knife expert - looking for more of a "fixing up old knives for dummies" (not that the knives are for dummies.... you know what I mean)...

I know this isn't specifically about firearms, but I wonder if in most places, had a car been stopped with that stuff in it, would there have been an arrest or detention? Assume the plates were legal.

I'd try the .30-06 he has with managed recoil ammo. The noise will be about the same as a .3-30 and probably as low as anything else.

What he was claiming was that the x39 is an awesomely powerful round, equal to the 7mm mag.

The chart I looked at had it dropping about 100 inches at 500 yards with most of that coming between 400 and 500. That's eight feet so at the claimed 600-700 I would say you would have to be standing on a 20 ft platform to shoot level and get the bullet to range. Let's also remember the claim is...

You won't believe this. On a non-gun related forum, some nimrod has posted that his AK (with its Bulgarian 7.62x39 ammo) kicks up dirt at 600-700 yards within a foot of where his 7mm Mag kicks it up. The only way an x 39 will shoot 600 yards is if you run 400 then shoot :). So I'm looking for...
