I recently got a CMP M1 service grade. The USGI stock is really dirty. I'm not sure if I should clean it because I don't want to damage the collector value. Any suggestions on how to clean it without damaging collector value?

I read somewhere that you are supposed to get the excess oil out of a bore before shooting. Is that really necessary? I have never done this. I just start shooting with oil in the bore and I never had problems.

I just ordered a tipton cleaning rod; 36 inch for .27-.45 caliber for my Mosins. Are they really worth the money?

I bought 3 new Bulgarian AK mags about 4 months ago through mail order. They were sealed in the factory plastic bag and the 3 mags were shrink wrapped together for shipping. I did not open the plastic and stored them away until I opened them last night. I discovered a few spots of rust on 2 of...

I have an older model 1100 in 12gauge. I can hear something sliding up and down inside the magazine tube. Any idea what this could be? How do you open up the magazine tube?

I have inherited a 1903A3 that is sporterized. Would it be worthwhile to buy a USGI stock to put on it? If so where can I find one?

Now that I have 2 baby boys I am always thinking about buying 3 of each type of gun I have so I can give them to the kids. I have already made some rifle purchases to give to the boys. Is this a mistake? Should I wait until they show interest in firearms before I buy multiple guns of the same type?

My safe is pretty full at this point. I still have several rifles on my wish list. My wife will not agree on getting another safe or a bigger safe. Where should I store my next rifle acquisitions? She also thinks I have too many guns already, so I'm going to have to sneak them in. I know it's...

I'm worried that a money order I sent got stolen last week. I went to the post office to get a money order for $920 for a CMP M1 Garand. I bought the money order and then went out to my car to put all of my paperwork in order. I went back into the post office and went to the same clerk who sold...

I'm going to shoot my m44 for the first time tomorrow. What distance should I shoot to begin with to check my groups? I was thinking 25 yards. My range is only 50 yards maximum. Should I expect it to shoot high at those distances? This will also be my first time shooting a Mosin. I'm going to...

I am thinking about buying a CMP Garand. I am trying to decide on a service grade special. The two choices are Springfield Armory and Harrington and Richardson. Which one should I choose? This will be my first Garand.

I've been going to a big box retailer recently to buy ammo. Usually twice a week, and about 20-100 rounds each visit. I noticed a couple of employees made comments such as "you already shot all that ammo?" Last time I was there, it looked like a manager in a suit who rushed over to talk to the...

I have a Colt Umarex M4 .22 Ops model. I believe the front sight is canted because I adjusted my rear sight all the way to one side and it is still shooting off to the left of point of aim. Lately I have been using a vortex strikefire sight, but it bothers me that I can't switch to irons. Is...

I'm thinking about getting my first 1911. I don't want to spend more than $700 or $800. Which is the best to go with? I'm leaning toward a Ruger SR1911. They are made in the USA and I have read good things about them. What do you think? This might end up being the only 1911 I get because I'm not...

I'm thinking about my next gun, and I'm thinking either a Garand from the CMP or a Ruger 1911. I thought it would be cool to buy a 1911 in the year 2011. I also want a Garand in the same price range. I don't own either of these types of guns yet. What would you choose first?

I recently noticed that Colt LE6920's have been discontinued. Does this mean that these guns will now be collectible and have more value? Should the people who own them stop shooting them to preserve their condition? Does anyone here own a gun that has been discontinued and has become a...

I now have 2 sons under the age of 2. I have recently thought about buying them guns. I have been thinking about buying 3 of each gun so that we will each have one to own and shoot at the range. I plan for their first gun to be a S&W M&P 15-22 (.22 cal). I think the tactical .22 would be a good...

I'm trying to disassemble a Mosin bolt. I can't seem to unscrew the bolt to get the spring out. I need to clean the cosmoline out of it. I have other mosins that I have no problem with. Any suggestions on how to break this thing down?

I just had a new baby boy born recently. I decided to borrow an idea from my favorite guy on youtube. I bought a Mosin Nagant 91/30 on the day he was born. I plan on laminating the receipt and giving him the rifle when I decide he is old enough to shoot it. Too bad I couldn't afford a nicer...

I inherited this old rifle. I don't know anything about it. I know that is was stored in a damp basement for many years. Is this rifle valuable? Thanks.
