... is it "okay" to receive a gun you just bought and find that it's dirty? It speaks volumes to me about the seller, how he not only didn't care enough to clean it when it sold, but also that it he was apparently okay with putting obviously dirty firearms in his safe. Oh well, in the overall...

I bought a Wilson cartridge headspace gauge to measure some 9mm reloads. 1. First off (couldn't find it on the Wilson site) I'm assuming that the gage dimensions are set at the high (large) end of the acceptable cartidge size. 2. Therefore, if a cartridge fits the above gage, it means that...

I've seen a number of threads on this but none touch on the issue of fire. I was told - may be a myth, maybe not - that if you come home and: 1. Your house is on fire. 2. The firemen ask you if you have ammo in the house. 3. You answer "yes." 4. They'll let the house burn. Anyone know...

Make sure that boxes of ammo weighing as much as the semi-anti gun wife aren't delivered when she's the only one at home...

At the local pistol range today there was about six shooters. Called the range cold, four people walked out to their targets. Looked over and one guy went back to the bench, picked his pistol up, and prepared to fire in a two-hand hold with the pistol fully pointed down-range. We yelled at...

It's just a little thing but a bit annoying. In regards to firearms, the Interwebz lists it both ways... is it: FTF = Failure To Fire. Or, FTF = Failure To Feed. And regardless which it is, how do you then specify the other? Spell it out I guess?

As a complete beginner to pistol shooting, I was very surprised to find that my one-hand shots have about the same accuracy as my two-hand shots. I assumed that two-hand would certainly always be more accurate and stable. I assume that this means that I need serious work in the two-hand grip...

Okay, this isn't so much an X vs Y thread as it is just trying to shorten a list. I and my brother want to get into casual steel matches - a run-what-you-brung sort of thing, no classifications. Since we don't CCW there's no issue with size or weight. We want to find a fun and accurate 9mm to...

Yeah another "best of" thread. However, to me, nothing beats the look of fine wood grips on a matte nickle or brushed stainless frame. I'm admit that part of my reason for starting this is because I'm not aware of all the wonderful hardware out there and am hoping that this'll educate me some...

I'm new to shotguns and after I got a Maxus, I was handling it to see how well I "fit" it. It was just okay and I almost left it alone, but decided to try out the spacers to see how much effect they'd have. In a word, wow! It went from an "okay" fit to just right, where when I pull it up, my eye...

I admit I'm being lazy by asking... I have a new Browing Maxus and was wondering how to unload unfired shells. With any other shotgun type (double-barrel, pump, etc) it's obvious, but how do you get them out of a simi-auto shotgun? [edit] Aaa, Google... from...

So about a month ago I get this DVD from some home defense place which was supposed to show defensive gun lessons. The documentation said that if I didn't want it, I had to ship it back... I called BS on that and dropped it in the trash. I didn't order it and I didn't want it... Then today I...

I bought an aftermarket stock for my Rem 700, and like most standard stocks, the LOP is 13.5". Due to some apparent ape heritage in my family, I need a 14" LOP. Since this isn't a Rem stock I can't use regular spacers, so what type of material do you guys use? Wood? Plastic? Foam? Obviously it...

First post, be gentle. Like I always do, when I decide to buy something expensive I obsess and over-research the heck out of it. Long story short, I've settled on getting a Remington 700-series... something. The driving goal is to find the most accurate production barrel of the 700s. After...
