Hi Folks, I just bought a new Savage MarkII 22 rifle from Wallyworld. I started the initial cleaning and inspection that I always do with any gun I get. When I got to the bore, noticed that it had been fired (probably tested at he factory) but the patches were showing a brown color. Have sent a...

Anyone out there have advise about this project; I am building a 22WMR. I bought a barrel from a Marlin Model 60 22lr and reamed it to accept a 22WMR. So I also bought a piece of schedule 80 pipe with 3/4" id. I reamed it out so it was more true to round and I turned the barrel taper just a...

Hi folks, I am new to shooting handguns, very new. I recently purchased a Norinco 213 (Tokarev Clone in 9MM). I shot it for the second time yesterday. Shot about 30 rounds. I noticed that the trigger kicks back rather violently after the shot. Today I had a sore and a bit swollen trigger...

Hi folks, I have two unrelated questions: 1)I am doing some fix up on an old butchered up JC Higgens bolt action 16 ga. It has had extensive repair and modifications from many years ago. All the work is horribly done. It was given to me so I am trying to finish making a slug gun out of it. The...

I am new to the Autoloader pistol world. I recently bought a Norinco 213, 9x19 for $100 in nearly never fired condition. Prior to that I had been looking for a cheap 9mm. I checked out the Hi-point at a gun store. Picked it up, put it down. Definitely not for me. I was just reading about a Sar...

I recently looked up a movie that I have quite enjoyed in the past. I thought I would share it in case there were those here who had never watched it. It is the story of a man and his guns. "The Last Man Standing". Here are some excerpts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ON3_CP3mC0 What...

Does anyone know the hardness of 22 mag lead bullets? All I have are jacketed so I cannot test it. I am guessing that they are pretty hard but would like to have more info for a better decision. Going to be reloading these puppies. Just paid $22 + change for a box of 50 (including tax) I can...

Hi Folks, I am going to try to reload 22 Magnums. Does anyone out there know what kind of powder they use in them? Any other tips.

Hi Folks, I am pretty new to reloading. Started about 6 months ago by reloading 22lr. I intend to explain how I do that in detail sometime soon. I have recently come by an old bolt action 16ga shotgun. It appears that someone has started to work on changing it to a slug gun. The choke has been...

OK, I had a different post in which I inquired about the legality of having a gun sent from a different state to me by a private party. I have a new situation that, if someone can clarify for me, I would appreciate: A person wants to give me a gun who lives in another state. Can I go to that...

I remember when JFK was assassinated. I watched Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV. Will never forget that. Back then a friend of mine collected military surplus rifles. I remember reading ads for them in (I believe Herters Catalog). Many rifles were in the $10 to $15 range. I believe...

I have a friend who drives truck throughout the US. He has a CC but not a FFL. My question is this: Would it be legal for him to pick up a gun for me that I would buy over the internet from a private party? That way I could save shipping and FFL charge.

I purchased a bottle of Liquid Alox on eBay from a private party. The bottle was broken and it had leaked into the plastic bag that it was shipped in. It could have frozen in shipment and had that crack the bottle. When I tried to transfer it to a different bottle it came out in the consistency...

Hi Folks, As many here know I reload 22lr. i have an old Remington 514 that I have been using to test fire my experiments. I recently broke off the bolt handle. The handle is the lug for the bolt lock up. I have been thinking about fabricating a new bolt. The old one is really not very strong...

Hi Folks, I broke the bolt handle off of my Remington 514, 22 rim fire rifle. I see that it had been factory brazed or soldered with copper. How would you recommend that I re-attach it. Also someone had cut and welded it previously in a different place and did a really bad job, even put it on...

I was thinking that since the Norinco (Tokarev) was originally made for the 7.62x25 round, the 9mm version should be able to be modified for the 9x23 Winchester round. That would add considerably to the gun's capability. Any thoughts? Anyone else thought of it?

I have an old very messed up 16 Gauge shotgun. It is a bolt action tube fed repeater. It has been hacked and it is all dinged and nicked up. The barrel had the choke cut off and someone put a rifle front sight on it. I thought for something to do this winter I would refinish it the best that I...

I am looking into a Gewehr 98. I can only see pictures of it. It looks like a K98 K. The real carbine. But the markings on it are Gewehr 98. It is stamped 1916 and 1921 has a Crown stamp and Spandau on the receiver. The person selling said that the he knows the bolt is not from the gun (numbers...

I was looking at a really good deal for a 17HM2. My first thought was to "This should be easy to bore out to a 17WSM." Is that true? I would like to do it myself. I thought I would ask the experts. It seems to me that all I would need is a boring bit and a reamer. Am I having a pipe dream? Or is...

Hi, I am new here and have just started shooting again after over 30 years. I only have a 22 for now. About 6 weeks ago I started reloading 22 rimfire. I have had success in that I can now reload them to fire at as close to factory ammo specs as I can tell without a Chronograph. I am using...
