My wife and I were bequeathed two Cimmaron revolvers upon his passing, in .357. One cylinder doesn't seem to lock up real well, and the other has a mechanical issue with the first hammer click. I have a friend here locally that can repair them, but honestly he is just too doggoned busy. Does...

When I undergo a background check and fill out the papers to purchase a firearm, is there a record of the firearm tied to that background check? What if I purchase multiple guns? Asking for a friend.

Can I carry hand-loaded ammunition in my luggage traveling from CA to my home? Do I have to go through an FFL in CA to ship it to myself?

I have two very nice, 20ga Remington 1100s. I am coming to realize that they likely are not the best home defense shotguns, unless I load with slugs and shorten the barrel. So, what do you recommend? My preference is not an "assault shotgun" (tongue in cheek, there, don't get mad), I like...

Will be in OR for a couple of weeks this summer. Do not like being without - if I have a gun in my trailer, is that legal? Not in the car (wish it were so), but in the trailer itself. Never really thought much about this, since I had CCW when I lived there. But, now as a nonresident I am a...

My dear bride gave me a rifle for my birthday, my choice. So I had been shopping around a bit, since like all of us we are always looking and drooling. I have a nice scratch-built full stock Hawken, and have kind of always wanted a nice half-stock. My tastes are way above my ability, so I...

About to buy one of these, leaning to 45 Colt. Wondering if anyone here has any feel for how hot one could go with a load in this pistol - I want to carry it in the woods as well as play with it, and want to make sure it is some bear protection (NM) as well as two legged critters. Thanks in...

Does anyone have experience with the Uberti/Pedersoli High Wall in 45-70? I know I'd have to shoot a different bullet in it than in my Trapdoor, but am very curious about how well yours might be shooting with BP. David NM

OK, not guilty. What about the guy that supplied him with a rifle? What I keep reading is that Kyle asked for his buddy to get him a gun since he was too young to do so himself. Is there a straw man in there? Does that have the potential of reaching out and grabbing the young man, or are we...

62, bum knee, two bad shoulders. Likely not going to be the best candidate for a Krav or Judo or whatever martial art class (one bum shoulder was almost destroyed in a handgun retention class,,,). So since I have no ground game, am not a boxer, likely not a candidate to deliver a roundhouse...

So to speak. I have been 15 years without a Trapdoor Springfield, and got to bring one home yesterday. Clear Inspector Cartouche, and Proof Mark, shiny bore, good stock. 1873, so has the ladder sight and not the Buffington, but will be plenty of fun at the range and might even become an elk...

I plan to tow my travel trailer to OR next month to visit my children and grandchildren. I also plan to have a gun on my belt until crossing the OR border, at which time I have to divorce it from the ammo and all that rot. My question is regarding my trailer - does anyone know if I can have my...

For $199, you can buy a 50W laser, which will burn, cut, and blind, and fit in a shirt pocket. Flashlight sized. Shined in your eye, instant and likely permanent damage, up to and including blindness. If someone blinds you, they can pretty much have their way with you. You are defenseless at...

Any of you gents shot your 1885 with black powder? If so, what was your experience? Thanks!

My wife was all over grouse hunting as an excuse to get out to the mountains, and I lucked into a very nice Remington 1100 in 20ga. Perfect fit for her, will be a good grouse gun, as well as dove and quail. And, she won't get tired of shooting it at the range. Now she has caught the turkey...

Well, I moseyed through Cabela's in Albuquerque while I waited for a traffic clot to die down, and what did I find but a mint 20 ga Remington 1100 youth model? Mama is thrilled that she will have a shotgun to use in her beginner trap/skeet class, with visions of dove and grouse next fall. Am...

My wife is interested in grouse hunting here in NM, and of course I am enthusiastically going along on this ride. Issue is that her only shotgun is a 42" barrel flintlock fowling piece, not exactly where she wants to start out chasing Grouse. Thinking an O/U is nice, but I know little about...

Struck out again on both deer and elk. Dangit! NM G&F touts the fact that 84% of tags go to residents. But a huge portion of those go to landowners, who are allowed to turn around and sell the tags to outfitters or to hunters. These tags are in part doled out on a buddy system, and can be...

This is my latest, made by hand by a good friend in Washington. Finding I can't justify the guns I want as easily as the knives (but I DO need that fancy maple-stocked, .40 cal flintlock Lancaster...).
