I picked up a sporterized Swede Mauser with a Lyman 57 receiver peep sight installed. I'm trying to get the sight part off (using the quick release button) but nothing wants to budge. Not being familiar with this type of sight I could use some assistance on how to remove the darn thing Any...

I like the SKS, but at 6'6" tall, the standard stock just isn't long enough for me, and I can't see where a scope is a viable option on this gun. Any tall people out there who have had luck with aftermarket stocks that have a longer trigger pull length? The various Monte Carlo stocks look...

Just some observations concerning the "best" pistol or reliability/accuracy threads that I've seen recently..... First question I have is to ask ourselves how many times a quality 9mm pistol will fail to fire with the first round in the chamber? Keeping the above statement in mind, how...

I'm considering getting into collecting and shooting these old wheelguns and since I have very little experience in revolvers any tidbits of information or what to look for would be appreciated. I've already did some research on M&P's, Victory models, and early N frames, along with New Service...

I've done a few pistols with Duracoat but I'm looking for something that applies a little better then the cheap airbrush I bought from Lauer Weaponry. Any advice on decent gravity feed spray guns and what size nozzles I should have?

I was at a antique shop with my wife the other day and seen a nice replica Hawken rifle under glass. The lady there didn't know anything about it and the person selling the rifle wasn't available, so I couldn't get a closer look at it. It had a browned barrel, with standard sights, at least...

Would anyone have any idea how much one of these would be worth. The gun in question looks to have brass fittings, with average detail work, some rust but no real pitting. Good condition I would assume considering it's age.

Anyone know a recipe that duplicates the Remington GS 165HP factory load? Or something similar in a factory 165 grain bullet.

A friend of mine has a 1934 Beretta and was wondering how much it might be worth since he would like to sell it. It is not a Romainian contract because the cal says 9mm corto on the left side of the slide. It was made in 1942 and the s/n is 949xxx. He would describe the gun as good condition...

What is the typical slide rail measurement for a Colt 1911 & do most makers of 1911's follow these measurements? Thanks in advance.

I started reloading a couple of years ago and been using a Lee single stage press for various handgun cartridges. I've been thinking about upgrading to a turret press but I'm not sure what advantage they have versus a single stage press, except that your dies don't have to be changed out. I...

I currently own only two types of pistols, CZ's & 1911's. I've been thinking about getting a Hi-Power eventually, and would like to hear from folks who own CZ's & Hi-Powers, and how they compare to one another. I would assume that if you really like the attributes of a CZ, then a Hi-Power...

I would like to know who out there has had to draw their handgun on a perp and what type of trigger action your gun had. Do you think the situation would have been any different if you had carried a different type of trigger action? For example, if you had to use your Sig to defend yourself...

Been playing around with my CZ40B with mostly Titegroup and although accuracy has been acceptable, feel some improvement could be made. Anyone have a special recipe .40 auto? I've used mostly plated 165 grain bullets with some 135 grainers. Thanks in advance.

I've only used Titegroup and Unique so far in my CZ40 with 165 grain plated Raniers. Any other powders out there that work well with this cartridge?

I've owned a couple of Makarov's in 9x18 over the last few years and sold them because I was looking to buy something else. I'm thinking about getting a russian one in .380 because I have all the reloading stuff for that caliber. Does anyone have any experience with the russian .380 Mak vrs...

I'm asking this question for my Dad, who wants to get an inexpensive wheelgun to carry while He's fishing or hunting. When He told me he wants to keep the cost around $100, I said that probably wouldn't get him anything decent and that He would need to spend at least $150. He was thinking...

OK, if you had to pick from the following choices for a semi-auto battle rifle that you would use just for fun plus give you decent accuracy and reliability, which one would you choose. The restrictions are using cheap ammo like 7.62x29, .223, or 8mm, and keeping costs around $500. I know the...

Was wondering who is the best supplier of these type of mags. I have a couple that came from Springfield and they work great in my 1911's. Midway used to have them but don't see them in the inventory anymore.

Anyone have a decent source on lead bullets for this caliber? My Dad picked up a Bulgie and wants to shoot lead for practice. I know National makes a 100 gr. bullet but he would like something a little lighter. Thanks in advance.
