    Value question on M38 mosin

    Hi all, I just picked up a 1941 russian M38 for a KILLER deal, after seeing some prices I almost feel bad about how little I paid! It is in excellent shape. The guy I bought it from inherited it from a family member and he doesn't have much interest in guns. He told me he has never shot it, I...

    home built gun on an AR lower

    I have a few AR lowers and the urge to build my own gun. I already have 2 AR's, one a 5.56 rifle and the other a 300blk pistol. I have access to a lathe and mill and would like to build a custom gun on one of the lowers. I am curious to hear what you guys have seen built on an ar lower. I am...

    Buttpad Blanks?

    I am in the process of designing my own 50bmg and am having trouble finding a buttpad that will fit. With my receiver tube being 2.25" diameter outside, that means my buttplate is 2.25" wide. The widest buttpad I have found is the Limbsaver large grind-to-fit at 2.06 wide. So I guess what I am...

    How to choose Brinell hardness on a cast bullet

    I am ready to start reloading for the 1911 as I am almost out of my stash of factory ammo. I have reloaded quite a few plated Berry's bullets for the 9mm and 380 but have never used just plain cast bullets before, so this is a learning curve for me. I think I have decided on the 200 grain LSWC...

    handguard/gas block combination

    Not sure if this is the right place or not. Feel free to move if not. I think I may have pulled the trigger a little to early when I bought my pencil barrel. I didnt realize the diameter at the gas block is .625 rather than the standard .750. Anyways, I am looking to upgrade the handguard at...

    Free float handguard for the ar-15

    I'm looking for a lightweight free float handguard for my ar15 for a reasonable cost, say under 100 bones. I dont want anything fancy, basically just a tube that is as light as possible. I like the look of the hogue's but they seem a little heavy at 14 oz for the rifle length. Anyone have any...

    Drop down hidden gun shelves?

    Hey guys, just doing a little surfing of the web tonight and came across Lightning Accent Decor's drop down shelf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTT1TO07-Ts I really like the idea of it but it seems they are no longer in business. Does anyone know of anything similar? Thanks

    Form 4 wait time?

    Pardon me if this is the wrong place for this. I thought I remembered seeing a thread on current wait times but cant seem to find it now. If there is one could someone please post the link? And if not, how about listing some of your recent wait times. I am looking at getting a 22 pistol in the...

    Ruger 22/45 or 22/45 Lite

    I am looking to buy a 22/45 this weekend but I am still a little undecided which one I want. I have a 9mm, which is my first pistol, but find myself flinching quite often so I think I want to back off to the 22 until I get comfortable with pistols. I find myself getting frustrated with the 9mm...

    How do you light your press?

    Hey guys, I live in an apartment and have my reloading press tucked away in a dark corner and would like to light it up a little bit but not sure how. I have a Hornady LNL progressive. I thought about building a little tube to sit in the middle hole next to the dies with an LED light in it to...

    AR-15 gas block question

    I am looking at doing a little upgrading to my AR for more long distance stuff. It is a Del-ton midlength with the standard front sight and handguards. I would like to put on a YHM low profile gas block with a midlength hogue free float handguard but I am concerned about the coating underneath...

    How do you work a load from scratch?

    I've been reloading for about a year now and was just curious. If you had a bullet and powder mix that you couldn't find load info on and you wanted to work one yourself, how would you go about it? For instance, I have 147 grain 9mm bullets and want to use power pistol. Neither of my books has...

    How do you sell a gun?

    Hey everyone, I have been thinking about selling my AR-15 lately and I was just curious how most of you guys go about it. I have never sold a gun before so I really dont know the best way to do it. Obviously I dont want to meet at my house and I would expect the same for the buyer so do you meet...

    Shooting steel with 7.62x54r?

    I just bought a mosin nagant today and I am looking to buy some ammo for it. I've found Russian and Bulgarian silver tip for a decent price but I am a little confused. The Russian one says "light ball steel core ammo" but the other one that is just marked "Com-Bloc Russian or Bulgarian" says...

    At what point would you not buy locally?

    Hey guys, just a quick question. I'm curious how many of you buy locally no matter the price and if not, at what point do you order it from somewhere else? Where I live, there is only 1 true gun store, so there is not much competition. I went to look at a pistol and the price tag was 440 but he...

    What barrel length for a pistol silencer?

    Hey everyone, I have been looking into 22 pistols and found the Ruger mark III 22/45. I would like to buy it with a threaded barrel so that I have the option to add a silencer later on. I see on their website that the main threaded barrel version is a 4.5" barrel (model# 10150), but they just...

    Do you reload for your plinking rifles?

    Just wondering how many of you reload for your plinking rifles that use bottleneck cartridges. I've been debating on whether or not to reload .223. Right now I am using silver bear since it is cheap but I would like to shoot something a little cleaner and less smelly. I dont shoot it a whole...

    Is the general "No Guns" sign enough?

    Hey everyone, Where I work, there used to be a no guns sign along with another sign that had lots of wording with the revised Kansas code. At least I'm guessing thats what the other sign was. I read it when I first started but that has been too long ago and now cant remember exactly what it...

    What kind of light do you use for your safe?

    We need a new light for the gun safe and I was just wondering what you guys use. I bought a light at walmart and it's just not bright enough for my dad. He has been looking at some push light led's online and I'm just not sold without seeing how bright they really are. So what kind of light...

    Is there a 36 or 38 objective scope?

    Hey everyone, The old no name 3-9x32 scope that my dad has on his remington 700 finally broke and he is looking for a new one. He has scope mounts on it now that will let you still use the iron sights and he wants to keep that ability. Now the tough part. For the objective, he wants something...
