    Help with H&R 922

    I have my grandfather's H&R 922. A neat gun and though I know it isn't worth much, it is invaluable to me. I need some advise on the operation. I have to remove the cylinder to unload. When removing the cylinder should I pull the hammer back to the first catch (is this half cocked?). Also...

    Utility Question - Which Rifle?

    I have an itch for a new rifle. The ones I am considering are on opposite ends of the spectrum. AR15 - M4 configuration vs. Marlin 1894C 38/357 I have a snubby 38 and a 4" 38/357, the lever gun would fit well making a three gun battery in one caliber. The lever action is good for everything...

    Lesson learned on 22lr - Old Ammo

    My father passed away a year ago. He had a box of Remington 22lr Target. They were waxed lead in a clear yellow hard plastic box. Went to the indoor range yesterday with a 357, 38, 9mm, 32 and a couple 22lr. I preloaded my 7 22 magazines with these older bullets. My Walter shot one then...

    Scoping a 22?

    I have a Ruger 10/22 with an olive Hogue overmolded stock and Tactical Solutions fluted bull barrel with compensator. I had an extra scope, Leupold Var-X II 3x9 that I put on it. It is not a 22 scope. Do face any problems with this scope not being a 22 scope?

    Do Remington 700's Come in a Short Action ver.?

    The reason I ask is that I have a Rem 700 BDL that I am having rebarreled. It is currently a 30-06 Ackley and want something that doesn't require hand-loading. I was thinking about going to a 260, but this is a short action round in my standard action. if this is the norm than I'd be ok...

    Stock Re-finishing?

    I have a Remington BDL with the black tip fore-end and a high gloss poly finish. I was thinking about stripping the poly and oiling the stock. The stock has seen over a decade of hunting and is getting a little banged-up. Do you guys have any experience with this or can you point me to a...

    I've got an itch for a new gun. I saw a Kimber makes a short action in 338 Fed and it got me thinking. Sell my 30-06AI and 45/70 and get one of these. Anybody have any idea about how sales are doing?

    25-06 vs 30-06?

    Hey guys. I've a 30-06AI that I have grown tired of making the ammo. I'm going to pull the trigger and have it rebarreled. Not to mention I had a heavy long barrel put on it and it gets awfully heavy. I'm thinking 25-06 so that I would have a light kicking fun to shoot gun at the range yet...

    Big Purchase this Weekend - I hope M70

    Ok, I make a good living and have lots of toys, most of them go bang. However, I don't spend big dollars (>$1000) on guns. I'd prefer to have my mortgage paid off. I am torn, I'd like to have an AR, but the Yugo M70AB are so darn cool and are under $500. I know all the reasons an AR is...

    AR Front Sight Question

    If I scope an AR that had a flat top but a standard front sight, do I have to use special rings to get the scope high enough? I'm new to these high tech guns, but am trying to get educated before the gun show this weekend. I like the Stag, but am still doing research.

    Springfield M1a

    I'm in the market for a rifle. I've always like fullsized main battle rifles. My question, what is the going market price for the plain-jane fullsized Springfield? The only prices I've seen are on the net and they are high. Are there any other makers of M1a's that are more affordable...

    22 Rifle Temptation

    Almost pulled the trigger on the Charles Daily 22 in CDNN, $149. It is basically a CZ99, so I've read. CD lost the CZ contract and now the little mauser action is in the new Remingtons at a much higher price. But, then I thought about my Ruger MKII pistol and how fun a semi auto 22 is...

    Not All Swiss Army Knives are the same

    I have, several SAK's. Most by Victorinox and one by Wegner. The Wenger is cool because it has a locking blade, but is not the point of this discussion. My main VSAK's are two Officers(one with a corkscrew stays in shaving kit the other with a Phillips head) and a Pioneer Rancher. Just...

    Bluing Edged Tools? Trailhawk

    I bought a Coldsteel Trailhawk. I think it is a great value, but needs some work. I have stripped off the black paint and sanded the handle down(to stain/oil). I was thinking about bluing the head. I saw one on Bladeforums that was great looking. I also saw on M40 survival pages where he...

    Torn: Practical Or Fun

    I've saved some b-day money and am torn between a 3" Ruger SP101 or 4" GP100 either in 357 - practical and a FN Hi-Power - fun. I've always loved Hi-Powers and 9mm is so cheap to shoot. I'd like to use it in my clubs action pistol, but I never can make the meets. It it is too big to CC...
