I just bought a smith and Wesson 22A-1 gun and I was shooting this ammo out of it and had a lot of ftf's and one cartridge completely blow up on me. Where the the casing comes off to the rim of the cartridge completely erupted and blew a for ball out of the side. Has anyone else had any problems...

I have a Steyr 1912 model that was rebarreled from 7mm to 308 and the rounds won't feed smoothly off the stripper clibs into the internal magazine. What could be the problemo? Thanks!

Hello. I live in Michigan and I'm moving to Florida in a few days. I'm curious as to how I can move my 2 rifles and my handgun with me? I'll be driving and I don't plan on becoming a resident of Florida but rather just keep my Michigan residency. Am I allowed to bring my handgun to Florida...

I've seen plenty o' threads about cosmoline removal but my question is this: Could you remove cosmoline from a stock with nothing but denatured alcohol? I had Gunny do that with my top hand guard and I was just curious if it would work for the entire stock as well. It's getting cold up here...

Hey guys. I've been saving quite some time for a nice, decent luger from the 30's to the 1942 final production date for the military (Don't want a commercial one). I'm looking at online auctions and I see that a lot of the ww2-ish era lugers aren't going for their asking price. Would $1800 be...

Hey guys, I've never actually bought a weapon from a gun store, only purchased them from 'collectors' at gun shows. I'm looking to buy a new Ruger GP100 6" Blued from my local gun store and my question is this: can I haggle with them? Is that considered normal or is paying the price tag the...

The other day I came across this ammo (see pics) at my local gun store. The box indicates that they're yugo 8mm 196gr FMJ. The problem is this: the box said "15 rounds" but it really had 20, so I'm assuming they used an old sticker they had from leftover boxes or something. The primer end of...

Is it the finish on the metal? I read this quite often (not sure if it's a rifle only thing or what, so I posted it here) and I have no clue what it is. Googled it and wikipedia'ed it but it didn't help much :/

1) I just recently bought a bore snake as suggested by some members on here; it gets nice and dirty as well as soaked with bore solvent. I've washed it in the washing machine in a sock as some have suggested, but it still comes out smelling like solvent and discolored from the grime that it...

Hey guys, I'm supposed to head out tomorrow to go shooting and I had a question about the safety of myself and the well-being of my m48. I have my top hand guard in for repair and my question was if it was safe to shoot my mauser while missing the top hand guard? Would it be safe for me and...

Attached are some pictures (a bit fuzzzy, phone camera is terrible) of the butt-plate on my m48. It's looked like this since I bought it and I'm looking for ways to get it to sparkle like it once did (cleaning tips). Maybe some steel wool? Thanks!

I'm having trouble removing the front sleeves of my m48. I depress everything that needs to be depressed but neither the front nor the rear sleeve will move.. at all! Any suggestions? Thinking a rubber hammer... might work.

My father is handing down his model 70 or 71 beretta "Jaguar" to me (Don't know the exact model) and I just had one question; was this weapon manufactured specifically for the Mossad or was it manufactured for public use and just adopted by the Mossad. I read one history website about it but it...

I was given a free bottle of nitro solvent from the local gun store. Is it basically just regular bore cleaner or does it clean specific things that a regular bore cleaner doesn't clean? Mine is made my outers. It says it cleans nitro deposits but I have no idea what that is. Newbie...

On my Yugo m48, I have a nice crack (and separated at the crack) running from my receiver to my iron sights. Is there any way I can repair this by filling the crack void with some wood composite or something like that? I don't want the crack to get larger and spread to other parts! Thanks :)

Is it OK to clean from the muzzle end of the breech end only? I'm not too sure if I'll get all the spots in the bore clean if I just clean on the breech end going through ONE time only? I.E. pushing it through to the muzzle, removing the patch, taking the rod out and redoing it. Will that get...

I have these black marks all over my yugo m48 bolt. They keep appearing and my bore cleaner or quick scrub III can't seen to remove them. What are these black spots and how do I get rid of them? Also, after shooting some ammo, the end of my bore (action end I mean) seems to have striations...

Is 8mm or 7.92x57 the only ammo I can run in my Yugo m48 mauser? I know it's a silly question for you more experienced guys but I'm not very experienced! I've heard things about .303? Thanks guys!

I bought some 50's Yugo ammo and I'm told to replace the bolt spring due to the hard or inset primers on the ammo. I have a Yugo m48 mauser. Do I need to replace the spring since I have a Yugo mauser and the ammo is Yugo? Also, will the 98 mauser wolff spring 22 lb work or do I have to get an...
