I filled my requirement of modern handguns and rifles, then started going back in time. Other than the recent CMMG Banshee SBR 9mm I bought, which is awesome and fun to shoot, my favorites are WWI and WWII era stuff. And I'm only 48. Long live the old guns. Revolvers are king at the indoor range...

I won't miss them. I used to be a huge fan. I still have a 870 and 1100. Sold the junk 700BDL that never shot straight. Never again.

I bought a .32 bobcat once before the new era of compact carry guns came out. What a pile of junk. On the second box of ammo a spring popped out from under the grip and rendered it useless. One of the few guns I ever sold. I much rather have my Ruger 38lcp when I need a mouse gun (tee...

I try to keep things simple and I still have too many calibers. I have an M1A SOCOM that I started shooting a lot. Now I have pile of brass. I'm also interested in buying a long range precision bolt gun. I was thinking instead of following the 6.5 Creedmoor bandwagon, stick with the tried...

That's what I'm leaning towards. My first step is to swap the 13 pound caldwell rock rest for a 2 pound vanguard tripod rifle rest, and swap the cast iron spotting scope stand for an aluminum tripod. That should eliminate one range bag. Maybe a small ammo bag so I'm not carrying ammo in the...

I've been lugging 2 range bags- one with all my shooting gear and the other with the spotting scope and sand bags for the bench rest. It's a bit much when I add the rifle cases and target backer, etc. Most of the "regulars" seem to use roll around tool box totes. That seems the way to go to...

This..... A marlin 30-30 was my first non .22. Love it. Holds 7 rounds, shoots 1.5" groups at 100 yards, is handy, balanced, lays flat, etc etc. does great with open sights. I took the scope off, ruins the gun in my opinion. If you need over 200yards, get a .308 bolt action rifle. You should...

I reload 12ga 2 3/4". I'm tired of using my MTM cases to hold ammo. When shooting clays I just put a cardboard box of 25 on my hip ammo holder/shell bag thing. So I'm just going to start boxing my reloads in cardboard. What's the best way to take 100, 200 rounds of shotshells to the range...

I really like it- it's a 2-7x28. It's now in their "ultralight" range. To buy another will be $308! I guess I should mention if I was to put a new scope on the .22lr, the Nikon P-22 is only $179. That's the way I'm currently leaning, and keep the 2x7 on the .223. Actually, the P-22 is a...

I have a Rock River Arms entry 16" carbine. It has troy flip up rear sight, A2 front post, and Leupold Vari-X 2-7x compact on quick detach rings. I just purchased a Smith and Wesson MP 15-22 carbine that needs a scope. I'm trying to figure out which gun to the put the leupold compact on...

My barrel has adjustable rifle sights on it. No bead. Will it line up, or will I have to change out the front sights? Looks like this: http://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/remington-870-barrels/24545

I have a factory 870 21" barrel with adjustable rifle sights on it. I want to intall a ghost ring rear. It looks like I can use XS sights rear ghost ring and it sounds like their tritium front sight replaces the factory one on my barrel? Can anyone confirm? Where can I get a drill and...

Well I did play around with the adjustments and the door still wouldn't shut. It lined up better but the door stuck out too far to the left- no adjustment for that. Well after more investigating, I found out that the fire seal on the door had slid out of position and was blocking the door from...

Aha! I'll try that. Saw the Allen screw in lower hinge, didn't know what to do with it. Thanks!

I've been airing out my new BF6030 for a few days to get the glue smell out. I think this was a mistake as now the door has sagged just enough to not close anymore! I can't figure out if the hinges are adjustable? Or if I need to put a floor jack under the open end and coerce it back into...
