    Rebarrel Remington 700-Reccomendations

    I've been wanting to have my 700 in 30-06 rebarreled to 35 Whelen with a slightly heavier contour than the factory sporter. Looked at ER Shaw, Pac Nor, Hart, and McGowen. I'm also considering doing it myself with a "Rem-age" conversion from McGowen. Any experience with any of these shops? What...

    Pre Model 10 S&W M&P .38 Special question

    I have the oportunity to buy one from a friend for $200, not sure of the year, but it's a pre model 10 .38 special with a 4 inch tapered barrel. Can I shoot +Ps in this handgun or is it too weak to handle the pressures? I'll probably buy it for just a cheap plinking gun, but I'd like to be able...

    Off the wall VFG question

    I want to mount a VFG on a rifle with a wood stock, and was planning on buying a magpul picatinny rail and MOE grip, but then I realized I have a 10/22 scope rail laying around, which if I remember correctly, is considered picatinny compatible. My question is, will a MOE VFG attach onto a 10/22...

    Help me pick first handgun(CCW)

    Looking to get my CCW license and am unsure of what would be the best choice for me. First, I live in California, so due to the CA DOJ Handgun Roster, many popular choices are off the table, also mag capacity is limited to 10 rounds. Second, I don't want an extremely small handgun, nothing LCP...

    Putting together my first AR, and looking for a rail system for the Dissipator upper I bought from PSA. Just ordered yesterday, so I wont have it for a couple weeks, but what would you guys recommend for a rifle length drop in rail system? I've been looking at the MI Gen2 quad rail as well as...

    Price check on Glenfield 30a .30-30

    Local gun shop has a Glenfield 30a in .30-30 on the used rack that I'm looking at. It's got a 20 inch barrel with the short magazine tube. Externally, the rifle has seen better days. Blueing is mostly gone and the metal is scratched up, but no rust or putting. The wood is dinged up, but no...

    Compact, accurate, .223 bolt gun

    I want to get a .223 bolt gun mostly for plinking/range use as well as occasional coyote hunting. It must have a 20 inch or shorter barrel and be capable of 1MOA or less groups. I would like to have 10 round DBM capabilities, and a medium-heavy contour barrel, but that isn't required. Price is...

    Help me pick an AR-15 upper

    In the market for my first AR-15 and have been browsing uppers online and I was originally set on a 20 inch RRA A4 standard flat top, but I just saw PSA has a great deal on their 16 inch mid length upper and it looks hard to pass up. The RRA is about $200 more than the PSA and both come with...

    Hunting sidearm

    I'm looking at getting my first handgun for a hunting sidearm/backup but where I hunt, there is the ever-present risk of running into a marijuana grow site. I have found them on several occasions, and with just my -06, I felt a pretty nervous as many of these grows are operated by cartels. I...

    Is my 93 Spanish Mauser safe to shoot?

    About a year ago I was given an 1893 Spanish Mauser in 7x57 made in 1902 with a broken firing pin. This rifle has been beat to hell and sporterized so it has little monetary value to me. I found replacement firing pins for $20 online, and thought it would be just a fun gun to shoot and maybe...

    Could the NRA be considered a "militia"?

    I have heard the "the second amendment is only for militia members, what militia are you part of?" argument a few too many times. I got to thinking about it and figured, why couldn't the NRA be a "militia"? Dictionary.com defines it as: "4. a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group...

    Post ban 80% AR-15 lower legality

    I would love to own an AR, but due to limited funds I can afford to drop $800+ on a full rifle right now. I like the fact that the AR has so much aftermarket support and is easy to piece together as funds allow. In the event Feinstien gets her way with "Assault rifle ban" how will the whole...

    Replacement stock for 700 ADL LA

    I have had my 700 ADL in .30-06 for about a year now and it has been great. Stainless barrel and synthetic stock make for a light weight all weather combo that is sub MOA capable. It is a mid 90s model and the stock is not very rigid. Some might call it "Tupperware". I am not a huge fan of...

    Insane shipping prices

    I was going to purchase some stuff from Midway when I went to check out, the shipping for my order (boresnake and some targets, under $25) was $9and some change plus a $3 dollar handling fee. That is $12 dollars for what could fit in a small flat rate box. I went to Midsouth Shooters Supply and...

    H4831 30-06 load

    I picked up a box of 165 gr Speer Deepcurls, a pound of H4831, and some CCI large rifle primers. I can't find any data for that powder/bullet combo. Speers website lists IMR 4831 starting 54 gr and max 58(compressed). I'm assuming that these powders are similar, but not identical. I don't have...

    .30-06 bullet choice

    I am just starting to reload for my Remington 700 in .30-06. My question is what bullet should I use. I did a little research and am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of different choices. Lead bullets are not an issue for me since the condor area is much further south than I am, so lead is a...

    Stuck Screw

    Stuck screw I was trying to adjust my Remington 700s trigger, and I cant get the sear adjustment screw to break free. The trigger pull and overtravel screws came out just fine, but I can't get the third one to loosen up. I tried a bit of heat from a butane lighter, brute force from a screw...
