It has come time to replace the extractor in my Remington 721 which means a conversion to the badger/m16 extractor. The gunsmith I am looking offers a single or a double ejector. What are the advantages of a double ejector? Is a single good enough? Tell me why I should have a double ejector done.

I was watching a precision rifle YouTube channel, the guy shooting was using magazine fed howa rifle in a custom chassis. After each shot it looked like he would touch the bottom of the magazine to release a round into the chamber before closing the bolt. I have not seen that before. Are...

I need to ship a rifle for warranty work. Should I remove the scope before I ship it?

I visited my father in law over the holiday and he mentioned he is not shooting very often any more because of the recoil to his hands. Any recommendations for some gloves to help recoil managment? I'm thinking they would be a welcomed Christmas present.

Has SCOTUS ruled on the Illinois, New York or Massachusetts requirement to have a licenses to own a firearm? I tried to look was not able to identify if that issue had been appealed up beyond state level courts.

Having lived in Europe (Switzerland), and then seeing that the EU is going to require medical screening for gun purchases, I am incredibly grateful for the United State's 2nd Amendment. http://money.cnn.com/2016/12/21/news/firearms-rules-europe/index.html This story also makes me weep for...

I am looking to roll some reduced recoil 30-06 rounds for deer season this fall. (Introducing some youngsters to the sport). I have been looking at 125 gr. bullets. Any recommendations on 125 gr. .30 caliber bullets that expand well at the lower velocities a reduced load gets. (And I’m not...

My local IDPA match tomorrow has been bumped. There is a 3gun match at a different range. I've thought about shooting a match, but never had the time. I have an irons sighted AR, a passel of shotguns and my IDPA legal pistols. what I don't have are a tone of magazine holders for...

I may have an opportunity to change jobs in the near future. Part of the vetting process is me stated where I would or would not want to be posted. Regarding U.S. States and territories, from a firearms related basis, where would you not move to. And why. (I don't want to hear where...

I need to put together a new youth deer rifle. While Idaho is known for wide open spaces were our hunting group sets up our youth is burnt out timber bowls, shots are about 50-200 yards. (That is the distance across the bowl and saddles. There are longer shots, but realistically the kids are...

One portion of the treaty of Versailles is a disarmament, limit on military personnel and material. Its pretty limiting, and included a reduction in the number of rifles and other small arms. (loopholes leading to the development of the Kar98k (carbine) as rifles were limited, but not carbines)...

Due to odd circumstances I acquired a new set of 30-06 dies. However when I use the sizing die I get the following lines on my case necks. The cartridge on the left was sized with my old die, the other 5 are from the new die. I am using imperial sizing wax as a lube. The dies (old...

I have looked around and have not found an adequate answer. From a functionality standpoint, why shoot a side lock vs. an inline, and vice versa. I am not looking to start a "9mm vs. 40" back and forth. I also understand that there aesthetic reasons for choosing one over the other. I'm not...

I have a question about the up coming proposed NFA trust rules changes. And the answer may not be known, but I am asking anyway. If I have a trust drafted and submit for a tax stamp and obtain it before the rule change, will I have to jump through the fingerprinting if I seek an additional...

How much of a change in drop (velocity/powder amounts, rifle, etc being equal) would a change from 165gr to 150 gr or vice versa make in a 30-06 load. I know the only solidly safe answer is do it and see, each rifle is different, but I was wondering if anyone had any general ideas of how much...

I have been looking for a very specific sized scope due to the bolt clearance. (Springfield 1903 sporter). Found one that works in my price and quality range, but all they have left are silver. The Matt black is sold out (and not likely to come back at this price). Rings are blued, gun is...

I have a sporterized 1903 springfield. It has the Redfield scope base and a vintage Weaver K4 scope, looks to be a 30mm scope. The weaver scope reticle is just to fine for me and I have trouble seeing it against anything but a very bright back ground. I also would also like a bit more...

There are few things in my life that I actually regret. One of them is not interviewing (recording) my grandfather about his service in WWII and Korea before his passing. Recently I have began feeling the same about my father-in-law. While I have known veterans, (my brother is in the army...

I have two rifles, both 30-06s, both have scopes. One is a fixed power, the other is a variable power. I want to swap them. How hard a project is this? I have never done any scope work before. I've done some stock work. I have a gun vise/clamp, and a garage full of handtools. Can...

I was unloading my Remington 721 (a predecessor of the 700) when I found that the round was still in the chamber. I tapped it out, and then ran some snap caps through the action. The caps would not come out of the chamber unless I had jammed the the bolt home quite hard when I loaded the...
