I live in state D, where I am allowed to carry a concealed handgun. I am going to hike from State A to State D. I may legally carry a handgun in States A, C, and D but not in B. May I carry a handgun throughout State A and ship it from an FFL in State A to an FFL in state C, and then receive...

A long time ago, I taught myself how to shoot a handgun, for better or worse. I take a boxer's stance, arms in Weaver position, with a cup and saucer grip. (Someone on the internet called this a "Weaver Hollywood Teacup"... I don't think I learned it from Hollywood, however!) As such, I have...

Went hunting with a friend today. He brought a Mauser, and knew nothing about its history. I too am a Mauser ignoramus. So, what can you tell me about it: Top of chamber had a picture of a crown and the following: "Fabrica de Armas" "Viedo" "1924" Side of chamber: "2N 9125" Plate...

I was hunting/ camping for a few days this week, when my sling swivel developed a rusty squeak. I oiled it with the inside of an acorn... worked great! Anyone else care to share quick field-expedient fixes we can "squirrel away" for future use?

I'd like to put a tritium bead on an 18.5" barrel for a Mossberg 500 (it's actually a New Haven 600 AT, but I don't think it matters for this question). When I got this barrel, it had already had the choke & bead hacked off, I just cut it back further (and nicer). This gun shoots spot on...

What's the most accurate handgun you've fired? And in which chambering? I'm asking the question as pertains out-of-the box, not customized, handguns. Thanks for your time, Jonathan

The NH Supreme court recently ruled that a handgun, with an empty chamber and a detached, full magazine, is not "loaded". This allows residents who do not have a "Pistol/ Revolver Licence" (our absurd name for a CCP), to have a full magazine in their car or on their person with an empty...

I have a "bargain" ar15 upper I picked up some time ago. There is a gap between the rear sight base and the carrying handle. This gap is about .013" when the sight base is straight, but of course the base tensioning spring & ball take up that slack, so that contact is made on the right edge of...

I saw this and didn't know if it would be of interest to anyone here: http://nh.craigslist.org/spo/3652532477.html I learn so much about blades from this forum, and I'm curious to hear what folks know about this one. The item is not mine, nor do I know the seller. Is that price legit?

My father just bought a used 336 in 30-30 and he has not yet fired it. When he handed it to me to look at, as I shouldered it, I saw that both sights looked canted appx 10 degrees to the right relative to the top of the receiver. It appeared as if the entire barrel was rotated just clockwise of...

In my state, I have to have a 5 round or less magazine when deer hunting with a rifle. Do you think it would pass muster to put a thin block of wood vertically inside a polymer 30rd mag within the spring and beneath the follower? If we're allowed to simply put a dowel into our shotgun magazine...

Can anyone testify to the benefits of using a premium bullet (Barnes TTSX, Hornady GMX, Nosler Silver Tip) on whitetails under 150 yards? Do they kill more cleanly or quickly than a plain-old soft point? Do they make tracking easier?

I would like to change the grip safety on a Colt M1991A1 Compact to a High Ride (currently a high grip won't engage the safety). Can I use a replacement made for a 1911 Officers Series 80 (for example, Wilson Combat's)? Is there an incompatibility with the 1991 that I should be worried about?

I am considering a TCP, but I don't know how it functions. Is it like a Glock, partialy cocked striker, and fully retracted by the trigger pull? Does the striker have to overtravel by inertia (like Glock or a 1911's pin)? This is mainly a question of my own peace of mind. I admit I was...
