I just acquired a marlin 22lr that has the action stuck open. Is this something I am overlooking or is it a gunsmith level fix?

I've been hearing about this bill that just passed the House and I'm kinda torn. I think national reciprocity would be a good thing, but what about state sovereignty? If you notice the groups for it is rather short (The NRA and Buckeye firearms) but the list opposed is the normal anti gun...

I am thinking of getting an 11.5 inch upper, and am wondering how it will affect the range/accuracy compared to the 16 and 20". It's a 1-9 like the others, just shorter.

I've finally decided to upgrade my waterfowl gun, and I've narrowed it down to these two. My buddy has the Maxus, but I can't find anyone who has the Versamax. They are close in price, but I am looking for someone to give an educated opinion on the Remington. Thanks!

I've been slowly buying the components to start reloading .223, and I am down to the dies. It will be for AR type weapons. I don't care what brand, but I see them from redding for 60 bucks down to lee's for under 20, 2 and 3 dies sets. I'll be using a universal decapping die so I can clean...

I am looking for a lightweight carry piece for a lady friend and she is 90% sure she wants a revolver. She has tried many platforms and calibers, and is leaning strongly towards a .38 or .357. I realize that the lightweight would be painful to shoot .357's but those would be rare. I seen a...

So I finally got to shoot the Model 36 I picked up a few weeks ago and every other round didn't fire. It looks like light strikes on the primer because when I continued pulling the trigger, all rounds fired the second time around. I even tried different brands to make sure it wasn't just a...

Does anyone have experience with a Para Wart Hog? It has been on my wish list and now my LGS has one LNIB. I would like to hear from someone that has (or had) one as to quality, issues, etc. I have a P12 that I really like but haven't shot it much due to work, etc. Thanks!

I picked up a rossi mod 92 in .357 for a great price, the only catch is it needs a firing pin. I figured someone on here would be able to point me in the right direction.

Remember the LEO that threatened to execute the CCW holder and was eventually fired? The city council has started a bounty to anyone that sees and reports a firearm to the cops. From the article.... "Canton City Council this week allocated $20,000 to a gun bounty program. This isn't a gun...

I need some help with ft lbs, muzzle velocity, etc of factory ammo. Is there a general rule that says a lighter bullet will have more speed or energy? I think heavier bullets have more umph (kinetic?) energy, and in my experience, lighter bullets tend to have a little more recoil...

So I was walking around the gun show this morning and found a guy selling a S&W mod 36. For $300, it seemed in good shape, and was just about what I was looking for (something to pocket carry) so I took the plunge. Can anyone give me an approx age? The SN is 41xxxx. It looks like the...

I recently (finally!) found a CZ 2075 rami in 9mm. It was used but came w/ the 10 rnd and 2 14 rnd mags with the finger extensions, night sights, box and all paperwork. I thought it was a great deal at $425, so I snatched it up. The first time out, the 14 rnd mags FTF almost every round. The...

I finally found a CZ 2075 rami w/ a 10 and 2 14 rnd mags for sale at my LGS, and found a Para P-12 w/ a 10 and a 12 rnd mag at the gun show......I am a happy boy!

I decided I was going to try my .357 this year on our deer gun season. All I could find last minute was 158 gr SJSP, not the 180's I wanted. As it turned out, I didn't see any deer, but this 'yote made a mad dash past my ground blind. By the time I could react, he was at 20 yards running up...

I finally got my hands on a CZ-75. If I hadn't been in Chicago, I might have taken it home. Well, it was a 9mm too and I want a .40 but still.... Now, I need to find a 2075 in .40 to try on!

So I finally took a CCW class and the instructor stumped me. Having only 20 some years experience, I know I haven't heard or seen everything, but here it is. The instructor was going over how to determine your dominant eye. After all present had figured that out, he went into who was...

I have recently gotten the itch for a "black rifle" and not having handled one since my discharge in 1998, I figured I would ask some questions of the experts...... Are there any advantages to buying a fully assembled gun or purchase the lower and uppers separate? I would like to have more...
