I've seen threads on this site and Calguns where members celebrate mandatory ownership of firearms in states reviewing the bill. I must disagree with this as it is forced possession and ownership of an item not ever person wants to own. My position is that you are free to own one or not and...

I own an Uberti Model 1858 New Army Revolver that is a lot of fun to shoot. At the time of purchase I was told putting .45cal lead ball through the barrel wouldn't harm the firearm and would help with creating a good seal between the ball and bore. She shoots great and is a lot of fun, and I...

Went shooting today and it started to intermittenly rain so I packed up. Got home and wiped down my guns. Out of all my guns the only one I missed water on was my 1953 S&W Pre-27. In the course of 6 hours parts of where I missed water started to rust and I quickly wiped the gun down with gun...

I live in Shasta County and would like a little clarification on a local CCW law that is on the books. You apparently have to be a one (1) year resident of Shasta County to obtain a CCW here. Now I'm currently 19 years old and was born here and have never lived or claimed residency anywhere...

My Step-Father owns a Model 88 Winchester in .308Win. From what I can tell the rifle was made in 1964 because I looked it up on a website but I am not 100% sure, The Serial # is 149XXXA for anyone who may be able to figure out more than me. If it was made in 64' does this mean it is of lower...

I understand an FFL is a Federal Firearms License, but I was wondering if it's beneficial to a regular person purchasing firearms. Do people that hold FFL's only do so to operate a business or does a FFL also gives certain privileges as well? Do you need an FFL to purchase firearms online too...

I haven't seen any talk about Weatherby and wanted to see everyone's opinions about their rifles. I went onto their site and mainly looked at their Mark V rifles. Are the offerings from Weatherby that much better than the competition, I just don't understand how a hunting rifle can be worth...

I have the misfortune of living in a great part of California, but none the less it is still California and I am forced to live by it's state laws. AB144 (?) was passed last year making it illegal to open carry handgun starting Jan 1st. I want to know if anyone is currently fighting the law.

Finally picked up my Pre-27 revolver. It has a 6 1/2" barrel, and is as smooth as butter. Unfortunately the bluing is starting to come off near the trigger guard as you can easily tell from the last photo. It seems as though someone didn't clean the gun for some time after handling and the...

I'm wondering if anyone could recommend me a good firearms magazine easily obtainable at any Wat-Mart, Barnes & Noble, Safeway, ect. I don't want a magazine that just shows weapons for sale and basically says look at what I have. I prefer a magazine with more articles/reviews than sales...

I've been entertaining the idea of getting a lever action rifle that uses the same ammo as the revolver I'm about to get (.357). The problem I ran across was no one I know of makes a .357 with a side loading gate and then I realized how far could a .357 shoot accurately anyway? I've seen the...

A local store has two S&W Pre-27 revolvers one is slightly more worn than the other. The one that is more worn is going for $900.00 something while the nicer one is going for just over a grand and looks really nice. I believe they are both 4" variant barrels. I unfortunately don't have...

I ended up getting a much better tax return than expected and it should be coming in in a few days. I want to buy a .357 but am considering a .44 for reasons I'll explain in a second. I have shot both a Browning Hi-Power 9mm and a Springfield Armory XD40 when it comes to cartridged pistols. I...
