I'm looking to hook my Marlin 925 up with a Boyds At-One stock. Problem is, the rimfire league I shoot in caps the weight of the rifle at a strict 7.5 lbs, optics included. My rifle sans current stock weighs in at exactly 4lbs 7.5oz. The Boyds website lists the rifle as weighing "approximately 3...

I did do a search on the forum before posting, but most of the threads on this subject were from years and years ago. I'm looking for a small safe that will be placed in a nightstand drawer. I'm not concerned about burglary or fireproofness, but am very concerned about kids getting access...

So I have a Makarov pistol on which I want to replace the factory rights (they're rudimentary). I thought that dovetails for pistol sights would have some kind of industry standard, but as I'm now discovering, that's just not the case. So: what kind of dovetails should I have cut? Novak seems...

I'm looking to get into reloading, but don't have a lot of space. I really really like the concept of using a Black and Decker Workmate and building a custom top for it because I'd be able to fold it up and stow it, unlike, for example, the Lee reloading press stand or similar. However, I've...

I have a shooting range on my property. Well, I have a backstop and marked distances from the backstop. One of the things that would make this "shooting range" a lot more convenient is if there was a table on which to set equipment / shoot from. I was thinking of getting one of those plastic top...

Cheaper Than Dirt has announced that it is suspending online firearm sales on its Facebook page. I propose an indefinite boycott of that company until they change their policies.

Here is the problem: When shooting trap/skeet/clays, I tilt my head very far forward. I'm literally looking down the barrel from under my eyebrow. This is instinctive and comfortable for me, and I get the best results this way. However, with most safety glasses, and I've tried a few brands...

I recently got into a discussion with a quasi-anti-gun friend of mine. He's not really anti-gun, guns are just not an issue that's very important to him, but he does tend to sympathize with progressive/liberal political positions, including on the matter of guns. So anyway, I pointed out to...

Can anyone recommend a rifle case with roomy pockets? Something that would be able to fit a set of folding muffs, shooting glasses and a box of ammo?

This is a rant. You've been warned. I'm sure many of us have noticed how the anti-gun media always blames the fact that gun laws have become looser and gun ownership more popular on the nebulous "gun lobby". This is a joke, of course. The entire gun and ammunition manufacturing industry has...

Can't make up my mind, so letting the forum make it up for me :) In either case, I would be getting the American version of the rifle, and using a scope on it.

I was mounting a scope the other day for my dad, who is a very good shooter (he's better than me at rifle, I'm better than him at pistol and shotgun), but who couldn't work on his firearm if his life depended it -- even something as basic as mounting a scope. Personally, though I'm no gunsmith...

I was wondering if these two products are compatible: Otis cleaning rod: http://www.otistec.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=84609699E2014082B437C8DFFF29C9C4 Pro-Shot pull-through jag: http://www.proshotproducts.com/Tactical-Line-Replacement-Brushes--Jags-_c_165.html The pull-through jag...

I'm a New Yorker, though I live upstate where gun laws are relatively sane. I was recently thinking: Yes, NY is a strongly Democratic state, with an anti-gun culture... but how many peole here are actually pro and how many are actually anti? So I did what I always do in such situations and...

This is something I've wondered about a few times after reading posts of people shooting hundreds of centerfire rounds at a time. I don't really get that. Unless I'm sighting a gun in, I don't usually shoot more than 10-20 rounds out of a gun per session. Sometimes less, such as if I'm shooting...

I'm seriously thinking about the new Mossberg MVP (scout-type rifle that accepts standard AR-15 mags). It comes with the Mossberg LBA trigger. Does anybody have experience with this trigger? I'm trying to figure out how it would compare to the Remington factory trigger (IMO, one of the finest...

Which would you pick? I don't like the grip angle on the standard Rugers, so that's out.

I was recently thinking about this and decided to post so that someone with more knowledge than me can chime in. So an important factor in firearm accuracy is lock-time (i.e. the time between when the sear disengages and when the firing pin strikes the primer). This is probably more important...

Polymer-frame handguns are known to be reliable, easy to carry and easy to conceal, but not many people usually champion them as the prettiest handguns ever made. So here's a bit of a curve-ball. What, in your opinion, is the best-LOOKING polymer-frame handgun?

So I was wondering if anybody can recommend a good book on the history of firearms development in the period,roughly 1750-1950? I'm looking for something a little more academic than popular. I've read a lot of stuff here and there, but I'm interested in an overall and coherent narrative of...
