I found a Ruger AR-15 "broken as/is" from a pawn shop for $200. Hell of a steal, but the A-2 front sight base is missing the pins, hand guard is gone and the take down pins are so tight we couldn't put them back in (to join the upper and lower). Any advice for a fix for the super tight...

I bought a bolt action bolt at a shop I figured I could resell but I need to find the model and hopefully the caliber too. It's a Sako bolt. I hope someone can identify the bolt for me. Thanks

Hello all, my buddy owns a Hatsan 12 gauge pump shotgun and he asked me about a Failure to Fire issue he had. He was using Federal slugs and the round failed to fire. My first thought was a bad primer/round (since the bird shot and buckshot he was shooting fired fine). But he said after he...

I just got a used S&W airweight 38 spcl. I tried to shoot it today and the primer strikes were so light not one round went off. I tried factory Blazer aluminum brass and then factory Winchester brass. Neither brand fired. The primer strikes were very light. I called S&W and they sent me a...

I have the chance to buy two used "broken-as/is" shotguns for $75 each. It's a good deal if I can fix em for cheap. The Parnder pump is missing the extractor and plunger in the bolt. $30 worth of parts. The Stevens 320 has a bolt that won't close. Nothing looks missing but I can't...

My buddy has two old Colt SAA revolvers, he believes one is not functioning properly. When he pulls the hammer back on the "working" one, it has four "clicks" when pulled all the way back. The "non working one" only has two "clicks" when cocked back. Is there something wrong with the one...

Can anyone tell me if the 12 gauge H&R Pardner pump (870 knock off) is compatible with Remington 870 12 gauge parts (after market buttstocks/forend a etc)? Thanks Steve

Hello, I'd like to know the gallon size of the air compressor any of you use who do Cerakote/Duracoat. I have a 26 gallon compressor but at 80 PSI, I run out of pressure very fast and have to wait for the pressure to go back up to 80 PSI. This of course is used to Aluminum Oxide blast...

I'm looking to build an AR, haven't decided on a .556/300 blackout or pistol variation. I've heard that Daniel Defense makes top quality barrels. But of course they are pricey. Does anyone have any experience with other high quality barrels for a better price (under $200). I've seen some...

Newbie question, I just obtained my trust. I went to the bank to open an account for the Trust. They kinda freaked out and didn't understand what an NFA Trust is, they kept saying this is new and/or they've never heard of such a thing...They didn't allow me to open an account becuase they one...

Hello, I've been thinking about getting a gun trust from my local gun shop. They charge $250 and its actually an out of city attorney who drafts it based on the information you provide them. However I've seen advertisments on-line for gun trusts at a cheaper price. One of these is GUN TRUST...

Has anyone used Accumount scopes and mounts to make a repro sniper Mosin Nagant? I found these on ebay. Just curious if they are worth the money, accurate, hold zero, and allow you to use iron sights. Also are they simple to mount? Soviet Russian PE PEM sniper scope mount for Mosin...

Does anyone have a method or tutorial that would help me learn how to paint a gun in multi-cam? I'm using Cerakote and an airbrush. I've seen some YouTube videos and tried following their methods but my project keeps looking muddled and can't pass for multi-cam. I've used bulldogarms...

A friend of mine purchased a Safety Harbor 50 BMG upper that fits to an AR-15lower. I'm just curious if anyone has one and what their opinions are of the Upper? Anyone have a bad experience or have a negative review of their product? Thanks in advance. Steve

A friend of mine is selling off his late fathers tools and equipment. One item is a South Bend Model A lathe. He says its WWII era old, I don't know anything about lathes but I do know they are used in gunsmithing (a craft I hope to learn). Can anyone tell me if it is worth buying? Are...

My buddy just acquired a Winchester model 94 in 30-30. The gun has been around and not taken care of very well, rust, patina, minor pitting on the metal. The stock is not cracked but scratched up to all hell, like it was chewed on or dragged across a parking lot. My buddy wants to know if...

I've got a Mossberg 500 12 gauge. During my re-qualification course my safety would re-engage when I racked the forend back (EVERYTIME!!!). The top safety button is not fully pushed back (when forend is racked) but only slightly moved back, just enough to put the weapon back on safe. The...

I'm trying to take down my buddies browning A5 for a thorough cleaning. I've got it broken down but I'm stumped at removing the bolt. The YouTube videos show clearly how to remove the bolt cross pin. They make it look easy but I've bent a brass and steel punch trying to tap this cross pin...

My buddy got this sweet little colt for $40.00. Some minor rust, pitting and lots of patina. He asked me to clean it up for him and he's considering refinishing with cerakote. Now would that be blasphemous in your opinion on this old gun? It's a COLT police positive 38 special with...
