    Local newspaper ad wanting to buy guns?

    Has anyone ever posted something like this locally? I am a new FFL Type 01 and I've decided that there is little to no money in stocking new guns. Used guns are my wheelhouse anyways so I'm thinking about posting an ad to buy any used, old, unwanted, neglected or broken firearms. I'm just...

    Questions about a sporterized Swedish Mauser

    Well I traded for this sporterized Swedish Mauser and I'll have to say that I'm impressed. Great bore and muzzle, Williams rear peep sight, Schnabel fore end with the finger grooves and an ultra smooth action. Questions though... Has anyone heard of a Bold trigger group? This rifle has one...

    Is reloading really worth it?

    I was reading today in another online forum about the age old question "Is it really worth it to reload?" There were a lot of replies where guys broke it down to a diluted scale concerning their start up costs. A few guys said that it's not worth it if you aren't a volume shooter (over 10,000...

    For the stray elephant roaming the mtns of NC...

    I traded this week for a Ruger No. 1-H in .458 Win Mag. Why? I would rather ask why not? It's a beautiful rifle, it will kill anything on the planet and it's a Ruger. But seriously, I've had the big bore bug for a while now and I finally got the chance to trade around and get this bad boy so I...

    Advice on a Personal Shooting Range

    Does anyone here have a personal shooting range? I've got a spot in a field by my house that is perfect for a 100 yard shooting range. This is for PERSONAL USE ONLY. I'm planning on building a berm out of fill dirt and just frame up a target stand in front of that. Nothing over the top. Just...

    Browning BAR Mark II Safari 300 WSM with BOSS

    I have a buddy trying to sell me a Browning BAR .300 WSM Mark II with the BOSS system on it. I think I can get it for $500. It looks to be in beautiful shape but I haven't got to see it in person yet. I'm just not sure at all about the left handed thumbhole stock. I'm not left handed so it's...

    Help with the value of two oddball bolt actions

    I have a guy wanting to sell an Interarms Mark X in 7mm (whether that is Rem Mag or Mauser I have no idea) and a Smith and Wesson 1500 in 300 Win Mag. Neither look like they are perfect but the Smith looks quite a bit better than the Interarms. I'd like to know a rough value on both of them...

    Nearly 4000 fps 7mm Rem Mag???

    My dad has been deer hunting with a Remington 700 ADL 26" barrel in 7mm Rem Mag since I was just a kid. He bought three boxes of Federal Premium 140 grain Nosler Partitions when he purchased the rifle. He's down to his last box and now that I have gotten into handloading he wanted to test them...

    Showing off the Family

    This is my family of firearms. I will admit that I am showing off. I'm proud of my ever growing collection. All of my friends my age definitely have different tastes than me. I like something with history and character. The first picture is of my Ruger family (I must admit that I'm partial to...

    1943 Inland M1 Carbine- Any experts here?

    Picked up an Inland M1 Carbine on Friday. The barrel and receiver are both Inland marked. Has a six digit serial number and the barrel is dated 1-43. The barrel also has an Arlington Ordnance import stamp. I know the rear sight, bayonet lug and safety are not original and that's no big deal to...

    Parker-Hale "JC Penney" .270 Rifle? Help!

    I have been offered a Parker-Hale rifle that also has JC Penney stamped into the barrel. I believe it is a Model 1100? I really don't know anything about Parker-Hale so any help would also be appreciated. I also really can't figure out much of a price. They seem to be around the $400-$500 mark...

    Opinions on Vortex Diamondback 4-12x44

    Does anyone have any experience with a Vortex Diamondback rifle scope? I just recently purchased a Winchester Model 70 Sporter Varmint in .22-250 and I'm looking for some decent glass that won't break the bank. I'm only going to be shooting out to 300 yards. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ruger M77 Varmint Liberty in .220 Swift

    This has some potential to be my new favorite rifle. Ruger M77 Varmint Liberty .220 Swift I bought this from a guy in my small hometown who bought it new here in 1976. He says that back in the 70's and 80's he was busting groundhogs at 600 yards. It's topped with a Weaver K12-1 which is of the...

    Value of a Ruger M77 International 22-250

    I have the chance to buy one that isn't rough but it isn't perfect. Has some scratches in the butt of the stock and there is some finish missing from the trigger guard and floor plate. I will be using this rifle. I'm not all that worried about the few issues that it has. Seems to either be a 75-...

    What do y'all think about the .458 Lott?

    I have the opportunity to purchase a nice Ruger No.1 in .458 Lott. It's a damn fine looking rifle, stainless with the gray laminate furniture. It also comes with a set of Redding .458 Lott dies and enough cases and bullets to keep me shooting for a very long time. What I don't know is much of...

    Cartridge Collections- Who else has one?

    Within the last year I really plunged into the world of firearms. I was taught just as soon as I was old enough to learn but I didn't really get in deep until the last year. When I was constantly wondering "I wonder what size (insert cartridge here) is" I decided to buy a poster that would show...

    Scored on heck of a deal today!

    At least I think I made a pretty impressive score today! All that you see on the blue mat was purchased for $130. I figured it up and if I had to buy it all new it would cost me over $1000. I'm excited about the Thumler's! The press is an RCBS RCII with the auto prime system (which seems totally...

    Just took the plunge into reloading

    Growing up here in the mountains of North Carolina, I have been exposed to firearms since I was old enough to hold one. A little over a year ago I suddenly got gun crazy. I surprise all the old timers around here when I tell them that I'm not into tactical firearms at all. I am 21, I own 15...
