As a former state police trooper, I try to be courteous when stopped by a law enforcement officer. I don't over use the word 'sir' if I use it at all, but I know that my attitude affects the officer's attitude, so I'm polite. I have my papers ready to hand them over when asked, I don't mention...

I've bought and sold on GunBroker many times. I've only had trouble once and that was twice in the same week where a buyer backed out on the sale after winning the bid. There is no human being to help you, and in my case I ended up having to pay GunBroker's fees for two sales that were never...

I gave away a 308 caliber CETME that I didn't like. I never shot it and don't know why I bought it in the first place. I told my local gun smith he could have it if he would customize a Saiga 12 gauge shotgun I have, he agreed. I should be able to pick that shotgun up just about any day now.

I had a Uberti '73 in 45 Colt until I got one in 357 and gave the 45 Colt to a friend. I used Trailboss powder when I first started reloading for it, and ended up using Clays because the Trailboss seemed to be pretty dirty. I used the lightest cast bullets I could buy, and can't remember what...

Most Cowboy Action shooters have been using light 38 special loads in their 357 magnums for years. However, it would be my guess that most of these guys reload 38 special cases instead of 357 magnum cases. I've loaded thousands of rounds of 38 special loads into 38 special cases using either...

Everyone has an opinion, and sometimes that opinion stinks. I've found most people will rant and rave about a particular gun, or a particular caliber, then you find out that is the only thing they own, or have fired. I have a Model 20 Glock, and while it is a nice gun, it isn't even close to...

There is a difference between need and want. I wouldn't want a Ruger 44 Carbine that held only 4 rounds, when you can buy a Marlin that holds several more rounds. You can't buy a Marlin in good condition for $400, I suspect because they are more desirable. I like Ruger firearms, but the four...

You might give some thought to a Thompson Encore. I have many barrels (and several actions) ranging in size for 17 caliber up to 45-70. Depending on what I would be hunting, I have a 308 Winchester compensated barrel that is fun to shoot and quite accurate. I have two 45-70 barrels, one is...

Everyone has an opinion. I have several lever action rifles, and have used some of them extensively for cowboy action shooting. Hands down, I would recommend a Marlin. There is nothing a Winchester can do that a Marlin can't do every bit as well. You may or may not want to mount a scope, you...

If I were the OP, I'd give the felon the benefit of doubt. Until you know the whole story and really get to know this guy, I don't think it is fair to judge him again. We have some stupid laws on the books, and some of them have been broken by some of us and we were lucky enough to not get...

Your best bet is to get a drill press and the necessary bits to finish the loowers. Another option is to give them back to the person who gave them to you. It is against the law for anyone else to finish them for you. most gunshops and gunsmiths know the law so they are not going to do it.

Personally I don't think one is any better than the other for civilian use, but of course that depends on what civilian use is. The SKS may be a bit more accurate, but neither of them use a cartridge that is what I would consider to be powerful. Ballistically they are probably close to what...

All well and good Sam! We understand what you are saying, but what happens when the target gets beyond the 20 yards you are speaking of? Yep, there is a very real possibility that your target isn't going to come as close as 20 yards to you, if they know you are there. Handguns are great in...

The OP's question has been answered, I hope. It would be my guess that we all know that either of these caliber's will kill a deer, I'm surprised the OP didn't have the knowledge to come to the same conclusion. What I can't understand is why would the OP wish his state would enact more stupid...

You would be hard pressed to find a better rifle in 357 mag that you would find with an 1894 Marlin. I have several lever action rifles, and the best by far for just average shooting is the Marlin. It is not expensive, very easy to clean and maintain. If you are looking for speed, your best...

Everyone has an opinion when it comes to AR pistols. That opinion changes once you own one, especially if it's one you built yourself and build exactly what you want. I have two AR pistols, one is a early Bushmaster Carbon 15, the other is one I built from parts purchased through an online...

Buying from GunBroker is safer than selling on GunBroker. When you are selling, if someone decides they don't want the firearm after they have won the bid, there isn't much you can do about it. But GunBroker still charges you for the sale even if the buyer won't pay. There is no one at...

Thank you for posting this much needed information. Sorry to say, many people just don't know PayPal's stance until they get their money tied up for 6 months or longer and their PayPal account closed. Anytime I read a seller say "I will accept discreet PayPal" I become wary, if that seller...

Statements like the one you made is what gets rumors started. They do care, read their fine print and you will maybe understand what you said is wrong and very misleading. Hopefully you will not continue to talk about something you know nothing about.

Unless you are going to use that shotgun for hunting upland birds or ducks and geese, there is no reason to worry about the choke. The choke is in the last 2 or 3 inches of a shotgun barrel. After you cut it off the actual choke will be gone, but it will still be what is known as a cylinder...
