I'm shopping for a shooting sling for my Marlin 980S .22 rifle. I'm looking for the type that loops under your shoulder to stabilize the rifle (i.e. not just a carrying strap). I just want to be sure I get one that will work with the 980. Not sure if a Ching sling is the way to go, or something...

I found a local deal on a used Glock 27 and was just wondering if I need to make sure whether or not it's 3rd Gen. The online info I found seems to suggest that only some of the earlier models exist in pre-3rd gen versions, but I wanted to be sure this is the case. Here's a link to the picture...

I was wondering if there's a difference in muzzle velocity for a given round of .22lr when fired from a rifle vs. a pistol. I want to use sub-sonic ammo for practice with my pistol at a nearby desert and I'm wondering whether the Remington ammo I have (which lists its muzzle velocity as 1280fps)...

With a lot of good advice from the knowledgeable and generous members of this forum, I've finally purchased one each of a rifle and pistol in .22lr for learning how to shoot. The endless 10-day wait is up tomorrow, when I'll be picking up the guns. I'll be going to the range to start practicing...

I'm new to guns and just did a very stupid thing. After cleaning my shotgun, I threw a few rags heavily soiled with Breakfree CLP in the laundry with a some of my favorite shirts. Of course the whole load came out smelling of gun oil. I'm wondering if there are any detergents or other products...

I'm about to buy a bunch of gun cleaning supplies online and I need to make sure the company I buy from ships discreetly (i.e. so that you can't tell from the box that it's gun supplies). I live in an apartment building where all packages are delivered to the management office, and my supper...

Are Boresnakes good for shotguns or should I go with one of the cleaning kits with cord and brush, like the one Dewey makes? I know Boresnakes are great for rifles but I'm wondering if they work as well with shotguns. Thanks for any advice you could throw this newbie's way.

I'm new to guns and I just bought a rifle and pistol, both in .22lr, to start learning to shoot. I noticed that Boresnakes come in 2 different versions for .22, one for rifle and one for pistol. Is there any real difference between the two that would make it necessary to buy both? Or can I just...

I just bought a Marlin 980S .22lr rifle online, and won't bringing it home for another 2 weeks or so. I wanted to order a sling for it online but am not sure which type will go with it. I'll use if for carrying of course, but also want to learn how to use a sling to shoot more accurately. I'd...

I'm looking for a Ruger Mark II .22lr pistol but having trouble finding one in good condition at a good price. I live in Calinfornia so online is probably my best bet--the used gun selection in local shops is minimal. Gunbroker has a few but not many. I found one on GunsAmerica.com, but never...

At some point I'm planning on buying an M1A. Though I was planning on waiting at least a few more months, I found what looks like a good deal on a local forum and might jump at it. Here's the ad: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=258263 $1950 seems like a good deal for...

I heard lever action .22's tend to feed shorts more reliably than bolt actions. Is this true? I'm shopping for a bolt action .22 but want something that can handle shorts for when I need to keep noise levels down. I've narrowed my list of bolt rifles down to the Marlin 980 and the CZ 452. Will...

I found this pistol used for $400, in good shape. I've been shopping for a Ruger Mark II--how does the Browning compare to the Ruger, which I can get at around the same price? Is it as accurate and reliable? Also, is the front sight removable on the Browning as it is on the Ruger? This is...

I'm looking to buy a Ruger .22lr pistol. I prefer the look of the Mark I to the more recent models but am wondering whether there are any real improvements in the Mark II/III over the Mark I, or if the age of a pistol that old would reduce the accuracy. The online prices seem to be the same for...

I'm about to buy a Ruger mark III .22 pistol for target practice, and I may want to get fiber optic sights. I was wondering whether the factory sights that come with it are removable, so that if later I want to replace them with fiber optics I'll be able to. Or would I have to buy it with fiber...

I want to buy a .22 pistol to learn to shoot with, and I've decided on the Ruger Mark III (I've heard this is one of the most accurate .22s, is this right?). I've noticed there are a lot of different types of this pistol, and I'm wondering what the differences are. Should I go with the Mark III...

I found a used Marlin 980 .22lr rifle for sale online that they owner says he bought 3 years ago. I'm wondering whether older 980's have the T-900 trigger or not, as this could be a factor in deciding whether or not to buy it. Those who own this rifle with the newer trigger, is it a real...

I'm currently shopping for a .22 rifle to learn shooting with, and I'm considering a Marlin 980. At some point I'll want to get a scope for the rifle, though I'll be starting with the iron sights that come with it. Before I buy it, I want to know if there's a good scope I could buy for it and...

I'm trying to decide on a rifle to start learning with. I haven't fired a rifle since I was a kid and am definitely a beginner at this point. Although I know very little about guns, I've found some very useful info on these forums and am close to a decision. I just wanted to ask for advice from...
