After seeing countless pictures of MK II's and III's with red dot scopes mounted, I've got a question: Am I the only one who mounted his red dot in a forward position? Seems like all the pics show the red dots mounted as far back as possible, but I find that the middle/forward position helps...

I did all the prep work for my Beretta slide and have given it two coats in "Gun Metal Blue" and it looks great. My question: After the second coat dried, I noticed that I have one small drip on a curved contour of the slide (darn that spray nozzle :( )...should I attempt to sand this down...

Thinking about changing out the small, stiff (difficult to get leverage on) safety on my FM Hi-power clone to a non-ambi extended safety...Where can I find one that will be sure to fit? (Note that it is a FM clone.) Thanks.

http://www.cybershooters.org/dgca/index.htm From this website: "Do you like guns? Then this is the website for you! Unfortunately the restrictive legislation in many countries makes owning guns difficult, hence the market for deactivated guns. Our association represents owners of these...

Has anyone used this color? Does it really match a true hot blue? I'm looking to use it on a Remington shotgun barrel and I'm wondering how well it will match the receiver. Thanks for any info.

Yet another of my favorite hunting areas is no longer available. The old timer/farmer/hunter who owned it for the past 60 years passed away recently and his heirs discovered they were sitting on a fortune in land value, and decided to sell off for development.:( I can't believe how deeply...

Being a newbie to trap, I was wondering how my Remington 1100 Special Field (with it's 23 inch barrel) would do at trap using a Remington Ventilator extended (4 inches) extra full turkey choke tube. I would think the extra barrel length would help, but would this be choked too tight? Right now...

Anybody have any experience with a total reblue job using this stuff? I'd like to do my spare 1100 barrel if it's worth the time and effort. Thanks for any info.

Saw this in the Bean hunting catalog. Made by Rizzini, imported by SigArms...anybody have any experience with this shotgun?

Saw a Stevens 311 12 gauge in the local shop yesterday. At first glance, I noticed the metal was kind of worn, but the stock looked almost brand new. Then I saw that it had a plastic wood-grained stock. It really looked like wood with a high gloss finish, not too bad looking (as some of these...

After shooting lots of CB's and Super Colibri's out of my .22 revolver the other day, I got to thinking: Would it be possible to make a .22 short autoloader? Maybe some highly-engineered feed system/mag/ramp to overcome the short cartridge dimensions and the inevitable feed jams? A slide made to...

That's what I have after taking the trigger assembly of my Marlin model 60 .22 rifle apart. I know, I know...but it was late at night and I wasn't thinking properly. :( Anyway, any advice on where to turn? I know I could re-assemble if I had the schematic, but I can't find one online...

Anyone have any experience with the Walther/Crosman PPK-replica bb pistol? I've seen them on sale lately and with Christmas coming...;)

Is a standard 1100 (non-magnum, non-skeet, etc) set up from the factory to shoot heavy (1 1/4 oz, 3 3/4 dram) field loads? I want to use my new-to-me 1100 with light target loads and I'm concerned it won't cycle. If so, would changing the barrel to one with larger gas ports solve the problem...

Numbers are down in Massachusetts, it seems. I hunt several places where Burton Spiller's spirit dwells, and still haven't seen any! Good cover, wild grapes, winterberry, stone walls, drumming logs, and nothing! Everyone I talk to around here says the same thing. I'm concerned that it's more...

Hefting a couple of full bandoliers of Garand clips filled with 48 rounds of 30-06 got me thinking...these darn things are heavy! How many clips/rounds did an M-1 equipped rifleman normally carry during WWII?

Just got my new (for me) 1100 and in cleaning it up, I've become somewhat confused regarding the piston/piston seal. According to my quick research, it seems that some 1100's come with separate piston and piston seal, and some (newer?) 1100's have a combined piston/piston seal unit...is that...

Does the 1100 Special Field take regular 1100 barrels, or is it's configuration like that of the 870 Special Field, where the barrels are not interchangeable with those of a standard 870? The reason I ask is that I saw a nice 1100 S.F. for sale, but would also like to use it with a 28" barrel...

Local shop has a used Valmet Lion 12 gauge for sale and it caught my eye-nice looking, great condition, and I've always wanted a o/u. I did a search and didn't find much info on these shotguns. Anybody have any experience with them? Thanks.

I'm trying to liven up the bland, boring wood grain of my Remington 870 Express butt stock. I believe it is beech, and it has no grain or figure. I've stripped off the old finish and tried several different stains in order to bring out some character, but it remains very light and boring. Any...
