    Newer Colt SAA

    Can someone please help. I've been doing some research but am no expert. What is a fair price on a 2007 Colt Single Action Army with 5.5" barrel in 45 Long Colt? The color is case hardened and it is a "custom shop." The condition is 99%. Is 2007 a year with the removable bushing that...

    Got my Maxus All Purpose 26" barrel shotgun. The Browning website says it comes with an "XF Turkey Tube." The choke installed in the barrel is labeled "Ex.Full". It is not ported and does not extend past the barrel's muzzle. There are no markings on the choke with its dimensions. Does...

    Does anyone know how to look up the voting record for HB 436? The Missouri house voted to override Gov. Nixon's veto, but the Senate failed by one vote. http://www.newstribune.com/news/2013/sep/11/missouri-veto-session-set-begin/

    What Kind Of Response Do You Think I'll Get From Senators Blunt and McCaskill???

    I just sent identical emails to both of them (I also send letters which are a bit more structured, but I was just so ticked at seeing Bloomberg this morning). The emails read as follows: Dear Senator Blunt/McCaskill, I just watched Meet the Press this morning and wanted to email both you...

    First Time Traditional Rifle Purchase Questions

    I have the urge to buy something and have decided on a traditional rifle. I will use it for target shooting and possible hunting. I am leaning, so far, on a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken that Cabela's has on sale for $1030. Question - for the Hawken caliber, which is more accurate the .50...

    Anyone else feel prices are high?

    Just curious if anyone else feels like prices are high right now. I do a lot of my purchases on gunbroker, but also check out the local gun shows and shops. I've been looking at everything from Glock 20, Saiga 12, Browning Maxus, Colt SAAs (which are hard to find although there was an article...

    Who ya gonna call: Ruger or Crimson Trace?

    So I bought a LCP with a factory installed Crimson Trace laserguard. Picked it up from the FFL Thursday and went out to shoot it this morning. After two shots the laser would not work; the left side plastic piece, the battery, and the little bitty screws had fallen out! I looked and looked...

    Remove Choke For Every Cleaning?

    Do you guys remove the choke tube every time you clean? I clean after every visit at the range and wondered if I should remove the choke, clean, and oil every time, or maybe every 5 cleanings or so. I did do a few searches and didn't find a quick answer. Thanks! Blonde

    Limit Size for Safe Going Down Basement Stairs

    I have a basement that does not have a walkout - the only way down are some standard stairs (see the attached example). My question is, has anyone had a safe moved down similar unsupported stairs? How heavy a safe can I get? Do the installers brace these types of stairs before moving a 1,000...

    Is Winchester Bringing M94 Back (not limited)?

    1873 saa

    I'd like to get a Colt Single Action Army, 1873 model gun. What to do? Doesn't Colt still make these; if they do are they well made guns? What about Uberti? I have heard the Italian replicas are good guns. Blonde

    U.S. Production; Desert Eagle

    I have seen some sellers of the Desert Eagle say the last of the Israeli made ones have been shipped and the rest will be made here in USA. The seller's make it sound like the US made DEs will not be as good. I know they do that so some chump pays more for the gun on sale, but does anyone...

    Model 94, Ruger 10/22 ... What else is in danger?

    My question is are there any other rifles that won't be around tomorrow that I need to buy today. A couple of years ago, I wanted a Winchester trapper or similar Model 94 lever action 30-30. Well guess what, they stopped making them! Now, if I want one, I will have to buy a used one for a...

    Colt Gold Cup Break In Period

    I have a new Colt Gold Cup Trophy on the way (my first 1911!) and have started to look for ammo. The local wally world had no hand gun ammo, and when I looked online everyone seemed to be out of stock. The only ammo I found was some 230 grain CCI Blazer ammo. My question is whether there is...

    Federal Tax on Ammo or Firearms

    I was just thinking about something, and wanted to see what some others thought. I know the current government says they don't have the political support to do much to restrict guns, but the idea of them raising taxes on firearms and/or ammo doesn't seem too far fetched to me. You see, Bama...

    M1 Garand Special Grade

    After placing an order back in November, I just received, today, my M1 Garand Special Grade. This is my first Garand, and I am very impressed. I think I might put in an order for a service grade next (they are half price anyhows). My question relates to the included manual's directions...
