My 12 yr old son and I were having small caliber fun last Saturday. The Savage 93R17 was dead on at 50 yards but when we took it out to 100 the POI changed dramatically high and to the left. The only change was increasing the magnification from around 5 to 9x. Could this have caused the change...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,357183,00.html BUTLER, Mo. — Salesmen at one Missouri car dealership aren't just kicking in a free CD player or factory air: They're offering a free handgun with every purchase. Through the end of the month, car buyers at Max Motors in Butler will have...

I'm going to upgrade the stock on my Savage 93R17 from the plain jane hardwood to a laminated one. I called Savage today and I can get a standard stock for $153 and a thumbhole for $190. I really don't like the looks of the thumbhole but I could warm up to it if the comfort and ergonomics are...

Here's the deal. I have a 10/22 and a Savage 93 bolt rifle in 17 hmr. Do I need a 22 mag rifle as well or will the 17 hmr do everything that a 22 mag can do? I had been thinking about getting a new auto loader rifle which is why I'm posting the question. Any sugestions on brands and models would...

For the past month or so I've been trying to decide on what configuration M1a I wanted to buy with my tax refund. With all the different combinations available it's enough to drive a guy crazy, especially when you consider the cost it will probably be my first and only M1a. I found one last week...

My Dad swears that the M2 Carbine that he carried in Korea was stamped "Oldsmobile". Anybody ever heard of Oldsmobile producing M2's? If it was anybody other than my Dad I'd say they didn't know what they were talking about but since GM had a couple of divisions making M1's it kinda has some...

I took my 62 EG Makarov to the range today and had many failures to fire. The hammer was dropping but no bang :( . When I examined one of the rounds it did not appear to have a dimple. If I cocked the hammer and tried again the gun fired everytime. The failures occured using both American Eagle...

New shotgunner here. I'm actually picking up my first one tonight, Mossberg 500 Persuader with 18.5" barrel. Now I know this isn't a hunting gun and I've never been bird hunting but in a pinch could it be used to take down some fowl? If so what would my limitations be range wise? The only sight...

I just came home with my brand spankin new Tikka T3 lite rifle and the dang bolt won't go in! This is my first bolt action so maybe I'm just stupid but it appears something is messed up. The first thing I noticed is that the firing pin is locked in the fired position. I've tried to get the...

Can someone tell me why the pistol caliber lever guns are so much more expensive than the larger caliber guns? I recently bought a Marlin 336 in 30-30 and would like to get a lever gun in 357 but they are 2-3 times the price. :eek: What's up with that? :confused:

I've been working on getting my Springfield GI to eject reliably. The last mod I did was shorten and angle the extended Cylinder & Slide ejector and enlarge the ejection port. I took it out last night and it was spitting out the cases perfectly when I started. However, as the night wore on I...

I have a Springfield GI that has been having some ejection issues. I noticed last night that the extractor has a fair amount of play in it - I am able to rotate it back and forth like the fit between firing pin stop is a bit sloppy. This being my first 1911 I don't know what is normal...

Okay so maybe it is 45 years old but it's new to me :D . It's a 1961 East German that I picked up on AuctionArms for $270. I was a little worried about the condition but thankfully it turned out to be as nice as it was described. I took it apart last night to oil it up and everything looks...

Okay, I just wanted to let off a little steam about why we always have to wait for the 45 acp version of a new gun model to be released. I know the 9mm and 40 are the more popular caliber for law enforcement and maybe the general public but what about us 45 guys? We finally got the 45 XD which I...

AK dudes, does anyone make a nice ergonomic grip for the milled AKs (mine is a Arsenal slr95)? I'm talking about something like what Hogue makes for the AR-15, soft rubber with finger gooves. I did some searches but really didn't see anything that I was too impressed with.

I went out at lunch time today to do a little shopping and stopped at a Sports Authority here in St. Louis to get some ammo. I was shocked to find all gun and archery related items GONE! :confused: I asked one of the sales people about it and she said all the stores were removing the stuff since...

I recently picked up a SW 625 5 in. It's a newer model with the lock and had about 100 rounds through it when I bought it. The first day I shot 50 CCI Blazers without a problem. Last week I was shooting WWB and had at least 3 rounds fail to fire and these same rounds got stuck in the cylinder so...

Last night I took my brand spankin new PT145 Mil Pro and my G30 to the range. Everything was going along fine until I pulled the trigger on the PT and nothing happened. I cycled the slide and inspected the round (before I remembered that the PT was a double action) and found the round to have a...

I'm trying to find a firing pin spring for a FN Browning model 1906 .25 cal pistol. Can anyone point me to a good place that would carry parts for this old gun? Thanks! UPDATE - found one on www.e-gunparts.com thanks to someone at GT :D

Well last night I proved that the PM9 is not idiot proof. I was reassembling the gun after cleaning it while listening to my brother gab on the phone and watching some T.V. so I wasn't paying as much attention to the process as I normally do. Somehow I managed to insert the slide catch into the...
