In the last thread about the lines that salespeople give, there was some interest in another thread about the ridiculous things that some customers say. So THR, what crazy things have have you heard gun shop/show/etc. customers say? I'll start. I replaced some trigger parts on a Century Galil...

I had this kid tell me this morning that his Marlin 336 in .30-30 was the gun that won the west, and that it could kill elephants and whatnot. I just said "Okay, thanks." and went along my way. So THR, what's the worst line you've ever heard come from someone trying to sell you a gun?

EDIT: I found some data! The owner of the gun shop I work for had some old Scot Solo 1250 he wasn't going to use, so he gave it to me cheap. This is supposed to be a handgun and shotgun powder, and I've seen some say it's great for 9mm target loads. I would like to use it light or moderate loads...

I just bought a brand new Generation 4 Glock 19, and the spent casings eject erratically, and sometimes directly to my face. I fired about 150 rounds without any change in the gun's behavior. I called Glock, and the tech told me to use higher grain bullets, as I was using 115gr. target loads. I...

I've been trying to find out for a while. I've gotten different answers from different sources, and no answer from the DE law website. Handgunlaw.us says 18, but lots of other places say 21. The Delcode just says that you need to be "Of full age and moral character", and the application just...

I'm trying to get the rear screw out of an Ithaca 37 with a B square mount. It's the rearmost screw that holds the mount on. I got it most of the way out, and now it seems locked up. It won't unscrew, and it won't tap out. (I only tried to tap it out gently). The action is locked forward, and...

(This is also on the Colt Forum). I just bought a Colt Trooper made in 1958, and had a few questions. The Colt emblem looked a little washed out, so I wanted to know if anyone could tell if it was refinished. Let me know if you want any more pictures. My camera isn't very good, but I suppose I...

I have a 1958 Colt Trooper .38 on the way, and the finish is in pretty rough shape. There is very, very minor pitting (I think?) on the left side of the gun. I have the means to sandblast it, and refinish it pretty well with Norrell's Moly Resin (gloss black), and was wondering how the value...

I just bought a S&W 59, and it's beat. The finish is pretty worn. I was hoping to restore its former beauty. I was wondering if refinishing it would increase or decrease the value. I know that refinishing a collectors' piece would be foolish, but does this gun fall into that category? When I say...

I lost the barrel bushing for my brand new Ruger SR1911! I need a new one that matches my gun and fits well. I'd love to keep it cheap, too. Where can I find one, and will it need to be fitted? Thanks in advance, guys.

I searched for answers, but to no avail. Here's the situation. I'm 16 years old, and "own" 8 firearms. They're all registered to my mother, aside from one to my stepfather. When I turn 18, I'd like all of these guns to be transferred to my name legally, and my pistols to me when I'm 21. Is there...

I had a friend tell me that rubbing half of a raw onion on a gun with rust (On the rust spot, of course) will remove said rust. He said that it worked for him. Anyone ever hear of this? And if anyone has a gun with rust, are you willing to try it for the good of Gun-Owner kind? I would try it...

I found the new Regent R200S being imported by Umarex. I saw that they're in the $600 range, and was wondering if anyone here had anything to say about them. I was pressed to find much information on them online. Does anyone know if they take standard 1911 magazines?

I have a Thompson Center Encore Muzzleloader in .50, and I'd like to change its barrel to a 20 Gauge Turkey Barrel configuration. To do this, would I need to buy a new forend, or just change the barrel? I haven't seen any forend/barrel kits, so it seems like I just need to change the barrel.

I was function testing and cleaning an H&R model 732 for my Aunt, and noticed a very peculiar problem. There is one space in the cylinder that seems to cause off center primer strikes. Whatever round ends up in that particular spot doesn't fire, and experiences off center primer strikes. When I...

Has anyone seen or used this muzzlebreak before? I've come to terms with their extremely, unnecessarily expensive rail systems, but this, I just don't understand. This muzzlebreak is like $440! http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/KAC-Knight-s-Armament-QD-Muzzle-Compensator-p/KAC%2025683.htm

This rail http://www.apextac.com/catalog/item/6540836/6664297.htm is DEFINATELY a copy of a real DD 7.0, but it looks pretty nice. Anyone here use one before? Can anyone Firsthand speak for its quality, or of any of the other faux accessories on their site?

I'd really like to cut the barrel on my Stoeger Uplander down to 18", but don't know exactly how to do it. Anybody done it before? Reccomendations? Maybe talk me out of it if it's a stupid idea?

Does anybody know of any company that manufactures something to mount a Picatinny rail to another Picatinny rail? Or how to possibly make your own? This seems like something that could create A LOT of possibilities.

I don't know what I want. I already have an AR-15, and have a very strong desire for another rifle, but I don't know what. I have a tactical 10/22, sold my stupid AK, and don't need another bolt gun. I'm sorry I can't be more descriptive, but does anybody have any cool ideas for rifles that...
