Anyone used or familiar with Fireclean? Are there any precautions with wood stocks/grips or plastic pieces to watch out for? I see a lot of AR15 users have adopted it, but curious why this wouldn't be used for a bolt action with wood stock? Thanks for the feedback. :)

I have a handful of older 22 rimfire rifles that I'm interested in having refinished. I was thinking about having a few done at a time to save some costs. Primarily just barrel reblueing (I can handle the stocks). I'd prefer something local to SW Missouri or NW Arkansas within driving distance...

I'm looking for a recommendation for a double rifle case. It's primarily going to be used for transporting a Tikka T3 Hunter and a Colt Competition AR 15 - both scoped. I've seen a number of tactical soft cases that are meant for two rifles, but I wondered if the internal straps would rough up...

I have two of these pistols. Well, actually, I have one Hi-Standard Duramatic M101 dated to 1955, and a Sears JC Higgins Model 80 which appears to date by SN to 1956 (yet Sears apparently didn't start selling these till 1957). Anyway, my question is about ammo. I haven't shot the Duramatic...

Hi All, I purchased a Springfield (Savage) Model 52-A .22 rifle with the intent of refinishing it. It had very obvious initials carved into the stock. I've gone ahead and removed the first few layers of varnish/stain so that I could get a better picture of what I'm dealing with. I have not...

I found an old ALFA Special Karabiner rifle for sale. It is chambered for 22 Kal. Does anyone know if it will safely shoot 22 LR?

Hi All, I just purchased a Springfield Jr Model 50. I believe this rifle was made by Page & Lewis prior to their acquisition by Stevens/Savage. Anyway, it's missing the firing pin. I've been looking and can't seem to find a firing pin specific to the Springfield Jr Model 50. Does anyone...

Does anyone have information on dating a Savage Arms Springfield Model 187 Series A rifle in 22 Long Rifle? The Serial Number is B2859XX. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey Guys, I'm looking for a 28 gauge over/under shotgun in the $1,000 range. At the local Academy and Bass Pro, I've got options for Yildez, Savage, Mossberg...all around or under $600. I could probably also find a Stoeger in the $400 range. Or, I could order something in like a CZ Redhead...

Hi All, I received a new-to-me CZ-24 today. Upon unpacking it and performing initial inspection, I noticed that the hammer was cocked back. I proceeded to de-cock the hammer and discovered the trigger seemed stuck. In fact, it looked cock-eyed: Notice how the lower part of the trigger...

I received my WWII era Star Model B from AIM this week. When it came in, I quickly examined it. First inspection indicated the frame around the grips had darker black (what I would almost describe as permanent marker) on it, as if someone (AIM?) had tried to cover up some wear. My other thought...

I know this seems relatively elementary for most people on this board, but I'm struggling a bit with the available mounting options for a bipod on my White Oak Armament upper. I currently have a handstop with QD Sling Swivel like this: I know I can disconnect the QD SS from the...

My son and I are building an AR-15 in .223 from ground up. We've got the complete lower and upper assembled. Our next step is to acquire the scope. The primary application is plinking at 100 yards. I would typically ask for the "best" scope for this particular application, but I'm afraid of the...

Hello THR, I am looking for ammo suggestions for 22 lr round at 50 and 100 yard range. I have researched a bit and was thinking CCI Velocitor - but I can't find any in stock anywhere. The primary application will be punching holes in paper, so I'm not concerned about expansion. If it...

I'm looking for a new rifle for deer hunting and plinking both. I've been wanting a lever action for quite a while and was wondering if someone can give me a recommendation for a lever action in the right caliber for deer. Right now, I'm leaning towards a Marlin 336W in 30-30, or maybe a...

I've been looking for a cowboy/western style revolver in 22lr. It appears that Ruger pretty much dominates this area with the single-six/ten. However, I wanted to get some input on other options, such as Uberti, Heritage, etc... My budget will allow up to around $700. My 7-year old is helping...

Here is my newest CZ family member! :) It's a CZ 1945 in .25acp. Stamp indicates 1947 as year of production. The previous owner claimed the CZ 1945 was unfired. I bought it off of a single non-detailed photograph and his word. I was preparing for the worst. I still don't know if he was...

For those who have pre-ordered, the XR9-S (shorty) is now shipping in stages. The first batch have been shipped out and the owners are starting to post some good feedback/range reports here: http://www.bobergarms.com/forum/topics/xr9-s-reviews For those who still want to join the pre-order...

Just a quick update on the Boberg XR9-S (Shorty). It looks like the first batch will start shipping in the next week. We should start seeing some reviews crop up soon. However, full production is still getting ramped up. Boberg will still be filling "pre-orders" (including mine) for a few...

Does anyone have any experience with the pistol or rifle range at Ozark Shooters North of Branson? I've used the shotgun range, but evidently you have to be a member in order to use the pistol or rifle range. The biggest question I have is if they will let you use interactive targets on the...
