Hello, I bought some factory second ammo and it has this sticker on it. I looked at some of the cartriges and they look like normal cartriges to me. What does ACCY stand for in terms of a defect?

Hello, I just purchased and am waiting to receive a Flattop 44 Special (model 5232). While it is shipping I am also wanting to place a Midway order for dies, bullets, brass, and some wooden grips. I'm getting a little confused with all of the "they fit this, but not that" verbiage about the...

My second 788 followed me home today; this one in .243. It is the one on the right, getting to know it's left handed .308 big brother. Question - the screws are missing from the top of the barrel (where I presume there were once sights). Where can I get those? Brownell's maybe?

Hello, I have a Win 94 compact on which I want to install a Williams FP sight set. The rear sight looks pretty straight forward. However because of the 16" barrel, the barrel band is in the way of the front sight installation. I loosened the barrel band, thinking that I'd slide it forward or...

Bought a Rock Island Baby Rock for myself last week and got it to the range this morning. Awesome little gun, and not a single failure right out of the box. Fired a box of WWB and 50 of my own cream puff reloads with cast round nose bullets. If you like 1911 style and .380, I highly recommend...

So I've been wanting a 10/22 off and on for a while, and was thinking just plain vanilla Wally world or Academy, wood stock version. But then I walked into my LGS and he had the camo take down model at what I thought was a decent (not a steal, but decent) price, so I bought one. Now the whole...

Hello, I have a Winchester 1300 Ranger with the smooth slug barrel that was given to me years ago. I want to get a 28" barrel for it and see one on Gunbroker. In the description of item there is a statement that says "Will not fit the models with the PIN TYPE ejectors (without cutting down...

Hello, On this year's deer hunt I nearly got in trouble when my hand-me-down Simmons Whitetail Classic 3x9x40 fogged badly one cool (cold) morning. It cleared up within an hour and I finished the hunt by shooting an 8 point that evening. Nonetheless, that is the last of that scope. I plan to...

As per my handle I am short and left-handed. Just got back from a hunt with my beloved Rem. 788 LH in .308. While it does not weigh a ton, it is kind of heavy (I walked quite a bit on the hunt), and I also remembered how annoying that protruding magazine can be. I've been entertaining another...

Hello, I handled a new 336 at a local shop today that seemed to have a shorter than normal LOP. Now I'm not sure what normal LOP is for a 336, but this gun was not the 336Y. When I look on Marlin's website they list the 336C as being 38.5 OAL, and the 336W as 38.25 OAL; both with a 20"...

Does anyone know the LOP on the Rossi M92? Specifically, the 16" or 20" round barrel version in .38/.357. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello, a month or so ago I had my mind set on a Leupold VX-II, 2-7x33. Now I see that the VX-II, 3-9x40 is the same price both at Cabelas and Midway. Which would you pick and why? Here's more data and my thought process, maybe this will help... The scope is going on a Remmington 788...

Hello, I've searched around and have read a handful of threads on ring height for scope mounting, and am still a little confused. Looking hard at getting a Leupold VX-II 2-7X33 for my Remmy 788. Is there anything out there that provides a recommended ring height? Or is this more in the...

Hello, What are the makes and models available for an auto loading deer rifle? Prefered caliber is .308. Rifle will be used only during deer season, mostly in open pasture scenarios at distances less than 200 yards, with most shots in the 100 yard range. I am familiar with the Remington...

So I was out scouting a hunting location last weekend and was in and out of car and truck, and walked several miles. I had my 1911 with me in its OWB holster/Wilderness Tactical belt combo. Always carry in condition 1. When I got home and went to remove the pistol from holster it was in...

I have this on order as my first set of rifle dies. Also just getting started on reloading. Question - does this set do all I need as far as dies go? Specifically, the description of them does not speak much about bullet seating/crimping. Do I need another die for the seat and/or crimp?

I have a 788 tack driver in .308. I am lacking in the physical stature department and would like a slightly shorter distance between the butt of the stock and trigger (length of pull????). Does anyone make after market stocks for this model that might offer a youth model stock? Or, I...

I saw a used P11 in a gun shop today for $179. Gunsamerica has a few for $250+. The one I saw looked to be in decent shape. It's a blue version. If I go back and it's there, what else can I look for and/or ask to find out more before plunking down $ on what seems to be a decent deal? Or...

I currently have a Fobus paddle which I like for the fact that it's easy on and easy off for those quick trips to the convenience store. Looking for something that allows me to carry higher and tighter to the body and am down to these choices: Sparks 55bn, Sparks 60tk, Brommeland Def-Con, and...

Got a new 925 for Christmas and want to mount a scope on it. I haven't looked too hard but so far have not found ring bases specifically for this model at Midway or Brownells. Question #1 - Do I have to buy them from Marlin? I also looked briefly at Walmart but they were pretty picked...
