    Ruger competition 22 pistols

    I am considering purchase of a target 22 pistol. I have read that the Ruger's are a good choice. Would I want a Mark II or Mark III gun? Also, I read that Rugers are a PITA to disassemble. How much trouble are they to take apart and reassemble? Thank you.

    Can I ship this AK-47 to California?

    I have an Arsenal SA-M7 for sale. It is a post-ban gun. (no flash suppressor or grenade launcher). Someone in California wants to buy it. He says it is legal, if I take off the pistol grip stock and just include it in the package with the gun. Is he correct or not? Thank you.

    Lubricating a Hornady LNL

    Can I lubricate the ram and linkage directly on my Hornady LNL AP and not use a grease gun with zerk fittings? Does it make sense to lubricate the LNL this way, or should I buy a grease gun? Thank you.
