Can anyone tell any difference in these two SAR pistols? I have a B6C and keep hearing about the B6P. If anyone has or has handled both, can you see any difference? Thanks.

An older man in our church passed away not long ago leaving his widow with a couple of nice guns that she's trying to liquidate. I'm trying to help her sell them and may buy myself but that's up in the air at the moment. The one of interest to me is a Colt "Model of 1911 US Army" with a serial...

I just picked up a Girsan MC28 SAC semi-auto pistol in 9mm from my local gun shop today. There are reviews and youtubes on it all over the internet if you're curious, but it's basically marketed as a Glock 19 competitor. Mine was $388 out the door and comes with three mags, manual, cleaning...

I've seen a lot of positive comments about the use of the NEGC ghost ring peep sights on the CZ 550. For those of you who've used one, did you find you can use it with the stock front sight or must the front sight be replaced to achieve proper height for average ranges. I'm shooting a 550FS in...

I picked up a Rossi today that I thought was a 68, but closer examination of the frame marking indicates either M685 or M585, although neither is particularly clear. It looks like an S&W 36 in every detail except the logo on the grips Might this be a product improved M68? Does anyone have...

I've had a beautiful old 870 Wingmaster in 20 guage that I got from my dad, probably made in the 50s or 60s. It has a 28" bbl with built in full choke. Recently I though I'd pick up a shorter barrel to give it a better home defense capability, so picked up a Remington factory 20ga 20" rifle...

I'd appreciate any suggestions on public areas, firearms carry and use laws, etc. from someone in the area. Thanks in advance for whatever you can share.

...at least in a small part of Central Florida. These are the stats on brands and calibers brought to my NRA First Steps classes in Florida, just under 100 students. Obviously all aren't carry or combat pistols, but this is what people bring to the classes: Brand: Ruger 25%, S&W 23%, Colt...

A neighbor recently passed away and left behind two shotguns his wife wants me to "get rid of." One is a Stevens 311 dbl in 20ga--know it well--that was my first shotgun but mine was 12 ga. The other is a single shot Beretta shotgun in 20ga. On top of the chamber is written "Vittora" which I...

Thanks But No Cigar One chilly November afternoon in 1889, a fur-coated crowd assembled in Berlin's Charlottenburg Race Course to enjoy a performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, which was touring Europe to great popular acclaim. Among the audience was the Reich's impetuous you ruler...

I have a Marlin 81C that has no serial no. on it. I think my dad got it at Sears sometime in the early 60s. Can anyone tell me when serial numbers started to be required? And is there an problem having a gun without an sn on it?

This past weekend I bought a TOZ-34ER over and under shotgun with 28" barrels in IC and MOD for $250. The rifle is made by the Tula Arms Factory (Tula Oruzhyonnii Zavod or "TOZ") in Tula, Russia. It's a pretty crude manufacture--very definitely reminiscent of Soviet production style--but is a...

Just picked it up at a gun show yesterday--an AL-391 Urika with beautiful wood furniture and beautiful blued finish. Light, excellent fit and finished, fits me very well and recoils very easy (I got to fire 4 rounds yesterday to check it out). I got it mainly for clay games but I can see where...

I'm going to Northern VA--Chantilly to be precise--the last weekend in January and will have some time one way. I was wondering if there are any shotgun facilities you can just walk in to, rent a gun and some ear muffs and start busting clays. I'd appreciate any info from NoVAans. Thanks in...

I've been thinking of getting a traditional muzzle-loader, with a flintlock, to learn more about them and shoot for fun. The best guns in this field tend to be hand made or custom rifles that go for quite a chunk of change. However, I was at Bass Pro today where I saw a Traditions...

I just happen to have a handful of Powerbelts left over from when I had an in-line. Has anyone tried them out of a barrel made for patch and balls (i.e. 1:66 twist?) I'll probably experiment but just wondered if anyone else has tried this.

I bought a Ruger M77 Mark II in .308 for deer and pigs and love it--a nice and light, but sturdy and accurate rifle for hunting. I have a little cheapo Simmons scope on it which does just fine. But not long ago I saw a catalog in which Ruger sells the same rifle with fixed sights. Has...
