It shoots well and I shoot it well, I dry-fired the mess out of it last night and I fiddle with it this afternoon and find a big ole rusty fingerprint on the slide.

    Marlin Model 60 question.

    I recently adopted my father's model 60 as a range toy. It's 20+ years old (at least) and I don't think he has ever cleaned the thing. While at the range the action kept getting hung up because of some kind of crusty something going on. I cleaned it but now I have noticed something else...

    Anyone else have their CCP application returned for something asinine?

    I just got mine back in the mail because somehow I forgot to check off the military service info. Thankfully they didn't take my $125 payment, sent it straight back the same day I got it so it shouldn't be too long now. Anyone else have silliness to share?

    Gun counter guy tells me I can't shoot slugs...

    Maverick 88, 18.5'' barrel. I went to purchase some Brenneke slugs for my smooth bore barrel. I saw nothing wrong with this but he told me my gun wasn't "rated" for it. I guess he means the pressures or something? I know I can't shoot sabot slugs but is there a problem with shooting the...

    I bought a Taurus.

    I was browsing the gun cabinet at Academy and saw the PT-740. It felt great in my hand and the trigger was light enough for me (Ironically I have trigger finger).The take-up was kinda long but not as bad as the LCP, ended up buying it for $379. I took it straight to the range and put 50...

    Physician will not fill out medical history form for CCP

    He listened to me, agreed that he had no objection to me owning a gun or having a permit. Then said no, he would not fill it out. I was baffled by this and asked what the deal was and he said it made him uncomfortable. Reason being he said that he didn't fill out anything but work releases...

    It passed on Thursday,awaiting state introduction. Should go into effect in August unless I'm mistaken. This bill allows for permit holders to CC in the 1,000 foot gun free school zone. I still can't carry on my college campus :mad:

    Effectively reducing recoil for HD 12 gauge.

    First,I understand if there were a break in,recoil wouldn't pop into my mind. However, I would like to know a way to reduce recoil enough that I could practice with defensive loads instead of target loads. With buckshot it kicks me like a damn mule and I don't even want to shoot more than...

    I took the NRA Home Safety course yesterday.

    I took the class to qualify for concealed carry in my state. The instructor was a 70 year old former marine. The man has one son who is LE,one a Marine,and another was a Marine who was KIA. Salty old fellow,no bull**** zone, it was quite enjoyable. The class itself was as boring as it gets...
