I have a recently aquired Stag Mod 1. I'm the second owner and the first owner put <100 rounds through the weapon. I have fired several types of ammo through the weapon with only one presenting a problem. Using Privi, headstamped PPU-11, I get persistent failure to extract. This ammo is...

I hope this is the right thread. Several boxes of Federal GGM .308 got contaminated with chainsaw blade oil when a plastic bottle was damaged. The oil is very heavy and has been on the rounds for a couple of weeks. What should I use to clean the ammo. I do not have a tumbler--yet! Thanks

Can anyone suggest a reputable shop that will convert (do the machine work) a standard upper to a side charging upper on a DPMS LR308 rifle? Thanks

I'm not sure where to put this, so I'll try here. As I understand it, small arms ammo, i.e., pistol and rifle, is not explosive when exposed to fire, although there is danger from rounds as they cook off. What type of storage locker is required to prevent injury (typically to firemen) in the...

I bought one. It now has several hundred rounds through it. No malfunctions. Extremely accurate with CCI hi-velocity Mini-Mags. Anyone else have one? Comments?

Does anyone produce a .308 side charging receiver and bolt carrier group? Not the whole rifle, just the upper BCG. Or does anyone do the smith work to convert the receivers and carriers? Thanks Tom

Are all Glock 17/19s approved for NATO use, including the pistols you buy over the counter at a gun store? The Glock 17 I recently looked at had no NSN stamped on it.

A friend inheritied a Springfield 1911. The model number on the box identifies the pistol as a PX1903. We can't find anything about the pistol. If someone has the specs, it wouild be greatlly appreciated. It has the hollow hammer and an obvious trigger job. The slide says 1911-A1. Thanks, Tom

I have a pistol I want to trade for another. The other fellow lives in California, and I live in Virginia. My end is simple-I take the pistol to my FFL and he sends it to an FFL in California. Apparently, the other fellow has a few more hoops to jump through. Can anyone tell me exactly what...

I recently purchased an XL 900 in 20 gauge. The barrel on the gun is a short, slug type. I'd like to find a 26" or 28" VR barrel. I'd like to find some nicer furniture for it also. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tom

I recently purchased a Remington 1100 20LT chambered for 2 3/4" shells. I have seen 3" chambered barrels for sale, and wondered if they would interchange with my 2 3/4" barrel. Is the chamber the only difference, or is the action also different between the 2 3/4" and 3" guns? Thanks Tom

I'm looking at a Winnie Ranger in 20 gauge. There are no other markings on the barrel. I'd appreciate any info on whether this is a 1400 or another model. If it helps, the serial number is N976867. Is there a Winchester reference on line? That would help, also. Thanks

I'd appreciate any info that I can get about Winchester 20 guage Rangers. Is the Ranger a 1400; is the LOP shorter than a 1400; is the stock/thinner than a 1400; what is the manufacture date; etc? The serial number for this firearm is #976867. Thanks much

I have an opportunity to purchase a musket marked "Valley Forge", stamped 1828, in .69 caliber. There may be other markings, but I didn't get to examine the weapon closely. If anyone could share some info on this piece, I'd appreciate it. What do I look for for authenticity? How do I judge...

I own a CZ 75B stainless with Crimson Trace grips. My daughter wants a CZ for college graduation. I bought her a 75B in black, and it came with the stock plastic handgrips. I know that CZ makes soft rubber grips. Although my daughter shoots my CZ well, it is a full sized pistol in a woman's...

I'm selling a long gun and need to ship it. What are the legal requirements for both parties, as in, what do I need to do to be legal? Thanks Thom

I've been reading so much stuff about the JLD PTR91s that my eyes are watering. General impressions include: The first couple of hundred JLD rifles had problems that were ironed out. Later rifles were assembled with new barrels and hand picked new parts that were imported. The latest...

My 21 year old daughter has been bitten by the firearm bug. In addition to shooting (very accurately, no less!) my DPMS LR308 and Bushy A3 .308, she has fired my CZ75B, and my son's Springfield 9mm and Glock in .45. She's interested in purchasing a 9mm compact pistol for target and personal...

I handled one of these in my local gunshop, and I really liked the feel of it. But feeling and shooting are two different things. Does anyone own one of these? I'm looking at one with a heavy barrel. How's the accuracy, durability, reliability? Any breakages? Do the JLD pieces really...

Will a CZ handle +P and +P+ ammo without damaging the pistol? What are the better "surplus" ammos in 9mm? What do you shoot for target and plinking? Thanks Thom
