Just to follow up, the brush idea didn't work. I guess it was stuck too tight. We took a tap that was just big enough to fit down the barrel. It got stuck in the shell, and we took a rod and hammered it out. Thanks for all the help. Also, my grandfather won the gun in a raffle when he was a...

I started out with an airgun and didn't get a .22 until I was a little older. My little cousin started with a Red Ryder, and when she would shoot with me, she always made sure she handled everything safely, which is the most important thing to learn when shooting.

One of the best comments I had heard on this was from my uncle. I had bought a Westernfield .22 for 80 bucks. I was kind of dismissing what it was, then he said, "Yeah, but I bet you could hit dimes all day long with that thing."

I'm going to try that brush idea, I have some brand new brushes. And now that I'm looking at it, I think I'm mistaken about it being his from a kid. He had one that he won in a contest in middle school or high school, but I think it was his pump.

Thanks guys. That seems entirely probable, as when I looked in it seems like there was a lining in the barrel, but it's probably a shell. How does one go about removing it?

I just started my own company distributing various cleaning supplies to gun shops. And like everyone is saying, gun shops fail because a lot of owners have really bad attitudes. I have one shop I won't go to because the guy yelled at me about five years ago when I asked about a concealed weapon...

My grandfather gave me his Winchester 190 from when he was kid. Unfortunately, it won't chamber a round. I took it apart and cleaned it. However, when I try to chamber a round, it won't fit into the barrel. Even when I had it apart and tried to drop a round in the chamber, it wouldn't fit. There...

I'm sure at some point somebody told John Browning he had some dumb ideas. Good luck.

Weren't they trying to keep 5.56 brass out of civilian hands not too long ago?

Another vote for a Goldenrod. I got mine used from a former FFL and it's still working great.

Yeah LRS Ranger, that's a cool pattern. I'm with everyone on this, paint the whole thing.

Yeah, AR's are only as expensive as the market will bear. When Obama was elected, you would've been lucky to find one under 1000. Now, the market is saturated and people are broke, so for 1000 dollars you're either getting a good rifle or you're getting ripped off. If you want to see an inflated...

I sell holsters at gun shows. One of the holsters I have is like a wallet holster, but it's an ATF approved design. Every gun show I have people tell me it's an AOW. Most of them listen to me when I explain why it's not. However, one guy (self-identified federal agent) rolls his eyes at me and...

I'm with JColdIron. Plus, it's possible to get a better deal with this guy. Know-it-alls tend to see every gun they own as "excellent." And they've seen "ones in worse condition go for twice as much on GunBroker."

So one night I really felt like cleaning a gun. They were all pretty much good, but I noticed my CETME trigger had some junk in it. I decided to punch out the pins and let the parts all fall out. Now I have a pile of pieces with no idea how they go back together. Does anyone know of a diagram or...

I've seen some pretty funny things at gun shows. I saw a guy one time looking at a brand new stainless Smith and after spending some time with it, finally asks the vendor "So this is an antique, right?" I also saw a guy yell at a vendor because he bought a gun from him and then found the same...

I've used this forum many times to read opinions and get information, so I figured it was time I joined.
