I sent the frame from my beretta 92fs inox back to the plant in Maryland to have it refinished because the paint was peeling off. I kept the slide and all of its contents as they didn't seem necessary. I received the frame back and while it is not the same color as when I bought it, it is a...

I recently bought a Savage Mark II BRJ and was looking at aftermarket triggers/trigger kits and saw the Apachee trigger kit for $66 on Amazon and $58 on eBay. I'm hoping my little anecdote here can be of use to others that are interested. I couldn't fathom why it costs so much for essentially...

I thought this might be a great addendum to this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=807800

I suppose I should preface my tale with the fact that I understand the following is entirely my own fault. However, it still frustrates me and I would very much like to vent to those that I feel could relate. I have been a law abiding gun owner in Illinois for 20 years. I had moved to...

My cousin recently inherited a rifle from our grandfather that had been "sporterized" at some point. The barrel has been cut down severely. We would like to restore it if possible, or at the very least get a modern stock and barrel. Our quandary lies in identification to buy said parts. Does...

I have a Smith Corona A3 that wouldn't let you flip the safety. Looked it up and found that the most common reason was varying tolerances in the firing pin rod. Got a new one from Numrich, it works great and everything is good to go. My question is about a specific marking. It's been...

Just a quick question on bedding. I ordered a Sendero and it has the aluminum bedding block in it already. I've read countless articles on skim bed/full bed/no bed for this model, but my question relates to the barrel lug. If you bedded just the lug, would that not prevent the action from moving...

I recently bought a Ruger LC9 and it functioned flawlessly with FMJ round nose plinking ammo. However, when I attempted to chamber hollow points, the gun failed to chamber the first round from the magazine. This was the case with two separate magazines and two different brands of ammunition...

That age-old debate is finally solved! Which would you pick? Or one step further, what two guns would you like to combine the features of, even if unrealistic? Personally I would enjoy an AK with Gatling-gun style barrels.

I stumbled across this thread here where a guy removes the bluing on his Ruger LC9 barrel and receiver, wet sanded it with a fine grit and then polished it to a sheen. Ruger's website states the material to be alloy steel. So my question is, not being stainless steel, will this not rust at...

Taking advantage of the recent bubble burst on the AR market, I obtained one of those evil black rifles. I had never been too sure about it, but I finally pulled the trigger. I think my most favorite feature is the magazine release button. Damn, that's convenient! The build is a stripped...

Recently upped my pet load for .44 magnum and was getting significant blast back. I am still under the maximum charge load, but it is getting close. No signs of over pressure on the cartridge cases. At one point, the debris return was enough to cut my ear open. Is this a symptom of loading...

I was curious how other members felt in regards to stockpiling ammunition. I find the quandary to be that I want enough for myself but I don't want to die sitting on top of thousands and thousands of rounds I never used. By the same token I don't want to have a lot of my money tied up in said...

While we may not necessarily be under any imminent threat of federal legislation, this is certainly no time to rest. Let us push forward to build understanding and camaraderie with our fellow citizens. Anti's, those on the fence and of course patrons new to the subject. Lets introduce new folks...

It appears to me that most anti-gunners are of a liberal slant. I don't really side with any political party myself, I see good and bad in all of them. But for any of the liberal minded to propose a ban of any sort boggles my mind. How on earth could they claim to be trying to save lives, or...

I was reading an article on msnbc regarding the proposed bans in New York State. I quote: "An FBI review of all 2011 homicides for which data was available found that 67.8 percent of them involved firearms – 72.5 percent of which were handguns." I don't know what the percent of "assault...

So obviously I am as disgusted as most of you given the current happenings, but I thought I may have an idea. Using this list obtained here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm I thought what if we were able to make a petition for each pair of senators so...

A boy that doesn't even own a gun was investigated and many students didn't turn up to school when a girl was overheard making an offhand comment "He's the type that would bring a gun to school" to someone else. The rumor spread like wildfire in school and on facebook with many students and...

For the sake of argument and my own crude research. What caliber/cartridge do you prefer over the others? Feel free to explain or go into depth or add something I overlooked.
