    that sure is one funny lookin marlin...

    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=47968146 :scrutiny: (i'm thinking of listing my new '1970 torino king cobra' breed of tomatoes on ebay motors. what do you guys think?)

    why yes, a 6lb 12ga with a hard plastic buttplate kicks a bit, why do you ask?

    finally got my nef to the range, along with a box of basic winchester slugs (one ounce of lead at a nominal 1600fps). i fired it once, popped it open, and set it down. it feels like someone ran up and punched me in the shoulder. HARD. one might suspect that i didn't have it mounted quite...

    just got a remington 572...

    ...and i managed to take it apart, clean it, and put it together IN WORKING ORDER on my own. i'm rather pleased with myself. found it on the consignment rack at the range. $190, with scope. wood in great condition, metal mostly so. some slight rust on the top of the barrel. action is...

    just got a 22 revolver - but what model is it?

    just got back from the gunshow. for $369.50 out the door, here's what i got: 6" blued half lug 6 shot 22lr s&w k frame with adjustable sights and rubber grips that locks up wonderfully. serial number from the butt and cylinder: K 2419xx assembly number on the yoke: 89514 on the frame, covered...

    looking for another 22 - this time, something lightweight.

    this forum needed another "which 22" thread ;) i've got a marlin 39a. it's wonderful. it's also as heavy as my shotguns (and just as solid, to be fair). shoots great, but i get somewhat tired of holding it up after a while - to say nothing of what new shooters think. so i want something light...

    how do i clean this ak and this sks?

    yeah, yeah, i know... "don't." :p i've got here an ak of some sort; says it's made in romania and imported by cai, and the wood appears to be at least 50% lacquer. i've also got a chinese sks with surprisingly nice wood. both need to be returned to their owner soon, but i would like to clean...

    nova people: vcga show in manassas this weekend - is it worth my time?

    http://www.vgca.org/events/oct_gunshow.asp i've never been to a vgca show before, and i have no idea what they mean by "collector." i'm currently looking for a 22lr revolver to shoot. should i make the drive and spend the cash to look there, or just wait till next month?

    so, what *was* the original 357 loading, anyway? - and a bonus question

    yeah, yeah, another 357 thread... :p i've been pondering 357 loads lately. it's my understanding that everything factory is weak, pretty much, and the original loads were fairly... energetic. but, i realized, i don't know what they *were.* so what weight bullets and muzzle velocities did...

    thinking about a 22 revolver. clue me in.

    up until earlier today, i'd been pretty set on getting a 6" sig trailside to replace my p22. however, it occured to me that i should probably look at revolvers, too, given how much i enjoy shooting my model 13. with that in mind, there is a strong appeal in a 4" model 17 to match it, but...

    so i got this here mossberg...

    ...and access to a camera. sorry in advance, it doesn't QUITE fit on my main screen either ;) 18.5" 20ga cyl bore, 5+1 capacity (with the dowel out). it kicks... perfectly. it patterns like you'd expect, though. winchester value pack ends up in about a 12" circle at 7 yards. on the...

    just got my first rifle... marlin 39a

    :D only one i could find at the gun show, which surprised me greatly. $343.25 out the door for an apparently used (but seemingly unfired, from the looks of it) 39a. though, the sights are already adjusted to the right a bit, so maybe it has been fired. who knows. who cares, it's clearly not...

    lady needs a 22... help me help her.

    alright, a lady friend of mine is clearly in need of a 22. she's currently got an xd9, but agrees that something more basic (er, you know) is in order. the hope is that if she has an easy to shoot 22, she'll do a lot more shooting. so, here are the points i can think of... one, she has a...

    just got my first revolver... model 13-3

    i drove two hours to the gunshow in harrisonburg today. what i REALLY wanted was a 22 revolver, but everything i saw was either more than i wanted to pay (i know single sixes are nice, but i'm just not paying $400) or cheap enough to make me skittish. so, i checked out the centerfire choices. i...

    er.... how the heck do i take this glock apart for cleaning?

    well don't i feel more than a bit silly. i've got this borrowed g23, and i'm trying to clean it before i return it... but i can't figure out how to get the slide off. i've found what i presume to be the takedown lever - little sliders on each side of the frame that seem opposed to me having...

    welcome to virginia - or, how i got to introduce ten brits to shooting.

    i've just finished a week of hosting and driving a group of 37 of her majesty's subjects (edit: er, 36 brits and one french girl) from dulles airport to the whole hampton area and back. they were over here for butoku sai, a traditional martial arts... event? celebration? but that's not the...

    got a shotgun - now, what can i *do* with it? or... tell me about shotgun games.

    thanks to a deal with a very generous high roader, i've now got a shotgun - a 28", mod choke, 3" chamber, 12ga nef pardner. fifteen or so years old, apparently, and never been fired. based on what i've read here, i'm trying to find some johnson's floor wax to put on the blued barrel and reciever...

    so, va people... there is a range at quantico? how is it?

    well obviously there's a range at quantico, but i just read that there's a public one. it's an hour away, (as opposed to 5-10 minutes for blueridge or nra), but it appears to be a lot cheaper. is it worth my time to investigate?

    lookin for a used 38 - what should i keep an eye out for, OTHER than a model 10?

    old guys who sound like they know what they're talking about, i'm aiming this question at you! ;) i know how to look for model 10s. i'm good at looking for model 10s. thing is, it stands to reason that there are other revolvers out there (though i know some around here will argue that point...

    a question about the dynamics of shotshell -> shot cloud

    why must something as elegantly simple as a shotgun prove to be so complicated once you start thinking about it? ;) it occured to me this morning that the dynamics of pellets moving down a smoothbore may differ considerably from those of a bullet in a rifled barrel. thus, this thread...

    pump action .22s?

    i've been looking around a bit online... so far my list of 22lr pump action rifles still being made consists of taurus model 62 ( http://www.taurususa.com/products/gunselector-results.cfm?series=PA3 ) and henry h003 ( http://www.henryrepeating.com/pumpaction.cfm ). is there anything else out...
