Six months ago I purchased a new Springfield 1911. At the time they offered a promotion where you send in your receipt and they will give you two magazines and a magazine carrier. I did this and never heard back from them. Last week, it ocurred to me that they had never replied to me so I...

I just picked up a brand spanking new Springfield Mil-Spec 1911. In the shop I was very impressed with this gun. It has a very nice finish and looked to be pretty tight and well made. When I got it home, I found something that leaves me scratching my head. The serial number on the frame is...

Ah, ABC is now reporting that homemade guns can kill. They're even getting into the hands of Mexican drug gangs, now that Eric Holder isn't supplying them any more. Mauserguy http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/nightline-fix-abc-news/homemade-guns-legal-unregistered-kill-133152516.html?vp=1 < See...

Check out the rifle in the Youtube video, The Battle of Marjah. When the Marine turns over the corpse at 58:42, you can clearly see that the Taliban has an Enfield P14, standing against the wall in the background. It could be a US M17, but it looks like it's got a disk in the stock, common in...

I don't believe that this has been posted before. A few days ago a local mother shot a dog attacking her kid. I guess this raises the question, is 9mm adequate for strays? Mauserguy http://www.ocregister.com/news/dog-249757-anna-cooper.html LAKE FOREST – Terrified, 6-year-old Anna...

I recently got a new Saiga rifle. My initial impression was that the rifle was clumsy, too muzzle heavy and that the length of pull was excessive. Yesterday I had a chance to shoot her a bit more and can now say that it is muzzle heavy, and the length of pull is fine, but the length of stretch...

Hello Gang, A week ago I posted a thread that I picked up a new Saiga rifle in 7.62x39. My first impressions, upon getting it home away from the glow of the gun store, was that it was rather dissapointing. Well, I've now shot it and I will provide an update. I got it out to the desert...

Ever since the mid nineties I have wanted to get a Saiga rifle. Well, I just took the plunge. After my ten day mandatory waiting period, I picked up the gun yesterday. I always liked the looks of the Saiga, and I liked that it would take detacheable magazines in a readily available...

Hello, I am acquiring a used CZ-75 with a nickel frame. My question is, do I need to do anything special to care for it? Mauserguy

Remember the guy who was arrested for having a registered assault rifle in a stopped vehicle at LAX? Well, he just plead out to a misdemeanor. That's justice on the left coast. Mauserguy http://www.dailybreeze.com/latestnews/ci_12699209 Man Pleads No Contest in LAX Gun Case...

Well, yesterday I had a day off of work, so I headed out to the desert with my recently purchased M1917, US Enfield. She is an Eddystone. I had always wanted one, since this was the rifle that Grandpa carried in the Great War, so I jumped at a good deal at the local gun show few months ago. I...

Over the years I have collected guns of different types. The direction of my collecting has changed a few times, but I have always wanted one of two guns that I have never gotten around to acquire. When Grandpa went off to fight the Huns, he trained with a Springfield, but carried a US Rifle...

Hi Gang, I put together a kit that may come in handy in foraging after the big California earthquake. What do you think? Mauserguy

I recently read an article that a police agency was buying AR rifles and accessories for several thousand dollars. The guns were to be placed the the trunks of patrol cars. Wouldn't a five hundred dollar lever rifle, perhaps a Marlin 1894, work just as well for the cops, cost a lot less, and...

A buddy and I scouted an area in central Utah several months ago and found a area where there were tons of deer. We just spent a couple of days in the mountains camping out and hunting- our experience was terrible. There were ATVs everywhere, and no deer. Everywhere, on roads and trails...

I have two similar sporting rifles in 30-06. They are great rifles. One wears a medium weight 22 inch barrel. The other sports a 24 inch barrel. I'm playing with different loads of 150 and 180 grain loads. Should I expect better performance with heavier bullets in the longer barrel or in...

About a month ago I picked up a new Marlin 1894c. This is a 357 Magnum lever action rifle. It was hard to find. There aren't many gun stores left in my area, and none of them had the standard rifle. One store had the cowboy version, which really doesn't appeal to me. Anyway, I...

Recently I've been shooting more rimmed brass cartridges in my guns. I've noticed in my brass, and other odd cases found at the range, that the rimmed cases show more stress than rimless cases, such as a 30-06. Is there something about rimmed cases that make them more prone to case stress...

Yesterday my dad and I saw an ad for M1 Carbines from Big 5. We went to the store to take a look at one. While waiting to be served, we started talking to this older gentleman. He had a deer tag and needed non-lead ammunition for his 30-06. California just banned the use of lead ammunition...

I don't see the 336A listed on the Marlin Firearms website anymore. It was there a week ago. Did they drop that sub-model? Mauserguy
