Hi all, I'm looking for a plinker and a gun to introduce my friends to shooting with. There's a used 10/22 in town for $220, a used Remington 512 in decent shape for $200, and I'm pretty sure I can pick up a new Savage Mark 2 for just a bit more over $200. I grew up on a 10/22; it was the...

Hi all, I'm about to move out to the Port Angeles area of Washington, right on the north side of the Olympic Peninsula. I know next to nothing about what there is to hunt out there, or even places to shoot. I've lived in MI and NC, and done all my hunting on private land, relatives and so...

Hi, I just got a Glock 22 from a reputable gun shop that was a police trade in. I took it out to the range with my friend and put 250 rounds though it. I disassembled it before hand, but did not clean or do anything to it. We experienced many, many failure to feeds using both Fiocchi and...

Hi all, I'm about to buy a CZ 75b and I was trying to decide whether to do the DA/SA or the SA version when I came up with the question, "can't I still just carry the DA/SA model cocked and locked anyway?" And the first trigger pull would then be light, correct? So, there's no decocker...

Hi all, So I bought several boxes of Remington ammo the other day. I was going for 100 grain core lokt for hunting deer here in NC. I picked up a few boxes of 80 grain as well by accident and I was wondering if that would still work on our tiny deer down here. What do you guys think? Just...

So, I've been looking for a good .308 or 30-06 to round out the hunting guns. I have a 10/22 and a model 94 30-30. The idea was that, upon purchasing the .308 or 30-06, I could rest easy know that if I got the call to go elk or moose hunting, I would have the rifle for it. (I don't want to start...

I don't have a bullet puller. I know that would be the first choice. I've read online that people will just pull out the bullet with pliers. I'm game for that, but I wanted to check with you folks first. I like all of my fingers. Oh, and we're talking brick quality ammo here. Thunderbolt and...

Pretty much said it in the title. I've been looking around a lot and trying out lots of guns: GP 100, G19, G22, S&W M&P in 9mm, HK P-30, 1911. I picked up the CZ 75B at a shop the other day and instantly fell in love with the way it felt in my hand. When I brought it up the sights lined up...

Hi, I have an old model 94 that's had part of the butt stock broken off and glued back on. The broken section is on the bottom and it includes the section of the stock with the sling swivel area. I'm looking to put a sling on the rifle but I don't trust the repaired area. Are there slings...

I know many of you carry when you go out shopping, to the movies, etc. I'm looking to get my CCW soon and I was wondering how comfortable it is to carry and be seated. I suppose I'm really asking those of you who carry on your waist. Does the gun dig into your side? How long can you stay seated...

Hi all, I'm thinking about taking the plunge into AK-land. Specifically, an AK-74 from Centerfire Systems. And I'll need to feed the thing, so I'm looking to get some cans of surplus ammo. On Centerfire's site, they have 1000 rounds of 60 grain, non corrosive ammo for $230 plus $15 or so in...

Hi all, I'm going hog hunting and I have to carry a shotgun on the game lands because it's turkey season. But no problem, a 12 gauge slug should take carry of anything in NC anyway. I got a set of tru-glo rifle sights that attach to the rib on the barrel and they're great, really easy to see...

Hi, I didn't used to like these posts but now I'm in the same situation and you guys are the best firearms resource I know. My local Gander Mountain back in MI has several used Savage 110's in 30-06 for $350 a piece. One has a Simmons 3X9 scope on it, also $350. I checked on Gun Broker and...

My Winchester Model 64 has a side mounted scope. It's about 1 inch to the left of the center of the barrel. Does anyone here with a similar situation account for this when they sight in their rifle? Beware, I was a geometry teacher... If you're dead on at 100 yards, you'll be 1 inch off at 0...

Hi, I inherited a model 94 from my grandpa that was made in 1954 per the serial number. I've read several threads on THR about the danger of lowering hammers onto live rounds but I don't see any way around it with my rifle. I'm not going to work the action right before I shoot a deer and I'm...

I wasn't quite sure where to post this but I figured this forum was my best bet... I was at a conference this past Saturday in a large room when the lights went out. This was an interior room and there was absolutely no light. The lights came back on, but it got me wondering what would happen...

And I need another gun... We've been trying to get together to go for a while. He doesn't have a gun, so he'll need to borrow one. I have a model 94 30-30 that I was planning on using. I also have a 12 gauge 870 but it has a 28" barrel with a bead. I'm trying to decide whether to buy another...

It's a bit embarrassing to broach this topic, but I've never been rabbit hunting and never shot at a squirrel with anything larger than a BB gun. I've gotten several deer but just never went for small game. I went from sparrows and BB guns to does and 30-30's. I missed deer season this year...

Hi all, I've lurked here a while and just started posting. I've read through several first handgun posts and also SP 101 posts and still thought my question was relevant. If not, I apologize. I've been in the market for a first handgun. Even though it's not exactly possible, I was hoping...
