Helping the out of state family of a deceased friend clear out his gear. 2 items I'm not familiar with are old Mauser 98s. I gather, like most milsurps, they were once sold by the case lot for ridiculous prices but that has long since dried up. There are very few to sample on GunBroker ...

I recently acquired a B&C A5 - per the factory, the front rail is a #6 - 3/8" - it came with a single stud mounted in the rail which is fine for a sling, but ... I tried mounting a bipod but the curvature on the bipod's upper plate digs into the very wide foreend before it's snugged down. So...

I'm usually an iron sight shooter but I'd like to do some barrel break in and initial load development this fall on a new Rem 700 SPS Varmint using a scope. I've no previous experience with scope mounting. I do have a Burris 3-9*40 with med and high Weaver type rings available. What would...

If anyone has a cartridge / chamber reference source, I'd really appreciate knowing the datum line, ie. the width of the cartridge on the neck from which the headspace is calculated, for the 7.5 * 55 Swiss round. Trying to figure out if one of the Hornady headspace gauge bushings will work...

Harbor Freight currently has their 15" flexible LED paired with a 4 inch flexy borelight size LED on sale for $5.99. The 15" model runs on 2 AAs and has a solid, 6" barrel - this is the first design I've found (in the relevant price range) that is a snap to mount on my press and allow one to...

I'm googled out ... can someone tell me the sight radius on a std AR (20" barrel)? It must be common knowledge as all the manufacturers of Service Rifle compliant uppers don't seem to mention it. TIA /Bryan

Vote against the knee-jerk reaction in Chicagoland ... left side of screen. http://wgnradio.com/index.php?option=com_poll&task=results&id=237&Itemid=127&mosmsg=Thanks+for+your+vote%21 /Bryan

Did a few searches...CZ 452 and Savage w Accurtrigger seem to be the common recommendations for a bolt 22 with iron sights. Couple questions... - the CZ comes in a Trainer model with a 24.8 barrel for less than the American (22.5 barrel) and another model, I think it was the Luxe at around a...

I need to fill out lists of Xmas gifts that I might receive and not instantly return. So, stuck case removal kits; everyone seems to make one for between $8 and $18 - Redding, RCBS, Forster, Hornady and probably Lee, Dillon and others. Is there anything to recommend one over another? Any...

Is anyone familiar with how the case deflectors mount for a flat top, detachable carry handle, AR-15? As is usual, Midway lists them as "may require some 'smithing" while Fulton just says, "Installs in seconds."...

A female friend in the Minn-St.Paul area is interested in training preparatory to a CCW ... can anyone suggest some local facilities that would cater to a newbie? Thanks /Bryan

For 1911 long slides Wolff doesn't list the springs' weight - just a numbering of #1 to #5 ... does anyone know the weights or coil count, wire diameter, uninstalled length - anything more than just the numbers? Here's the quote from their site: "Longslide modifications to 1911 pistols often...

I ordered an upper buttstock screw from Midway to change over to a std stock. Tube and buttstock spacer were already on hand from Model 1. Screw arrives in a labelled baggie...seems easy enough...but, not a chance that screw thread can reach the tube threads! Certainly not through a spacer...

First 300 cases using the Universal decapper - snapped 2 pins off flush at their base...doing military crimp 223s with the pin protruding the minimum necessary to get the primer. Is this rate of breakage normal or did I just luck into a bad batch? Is anyone aware of a sturdier pin that'll...

I'm a pistol shooter newly invested in a pair of K-31s. After a bunch of reading, I ordered the Accumount clamp-on 6" mount, essentially the same as the St. Marie mount with a slightly extended range for ring mounting. Most of my use will be 100 - 300 yds with a rare, maybe once a year chance...

Has anyone experienced a recent change in the 3 day mandatory wait to pick up a handgun? I completed the paperwork for a pistol on Thursday and casually said "See you Monday" for the pickup. The FFL pulled out a spring '06 BATF flyer noting that the waiting period begins, not with the NICS...

Soliciting help and opinions - new 5" 625, matte finish - I understand the Lead-Away cloth will high polish the frame - not good, what's a recommended frame cleaning approach..so far, I've been using Hoppe's and a toothbrush - the Patridge front sight appears to be pinned ... is it a simple...

I'm quite unfamiliar with revolvers and have been looking at a few S&W 14s...could someone please contriubte to my education re the terms pinned, recessed and "4 screw". What they each refer to and why they are apparently desirable features that have been phased out in more recent revolver...
