    New grips on revolver & poor fit... Help?

    I have a 6" Rossi .357 revolver, and bought some rosewood grips off of Gunbroker for it (supposedly made for my exact model). I went to put them on, and fitment leaves alot to be desired. They sort of jiggle around, like they're too big. I'm thinking that maybe something could be put inside...

    HK P2000 magazines?

    I'm looking at the HK P2000, which comes with both .40 S&W and .357 Sig barrels. It comes with (1) mag marked for .40 S&W, and (2) mags marked for .357 Sig. I was under the impression that magazines for .40 S&W and .357 Sig were interchangable... If so, whats the deal? Why would HK send...

    Stack-On Gun Cabinets?

    A few years ago, my parents gave me a wood & glass gun cabinet (see below). Since then, my collection has grown gradually, to the point that I've run out of room. This is what I have now, as you can see its not that big and easy to outgrow: I've seen the Stack-On gun cabinets at Cabelas...

    Ruger GP100 grips?

    When did Ruger ditch the rubber grips with rosewood inlays? My dad has one like this, and I like it alot. Seems like all the NIB GP100's I've seen lately have Hogue style grips. They're not nearly as cool looking as the ones with rosewood inlays, in my opinion.

    AR15 front sling swivel?

    Last week I bought a DPMS AR15, and for whatever reason it doesnt have a sling swivel on the front sight base, despite the holes being there for one. The M4 stock does have a sling swivel. I'm not sure if there is a reason for it not being there, or if someone at DPMS simply forgot to install it...

    DPMS front sight base height?

    Does DPMS use proper "F" height FSB's on their flattop models, or do they use A2 height FSB's (like Bushmaster). This morning I bought a 16" DPMS with "A3" flattop and M4 stock. For what its worth, I cant find any markings whatsoever on the FSB. I'm trying to figure out what type of iron...

    Academy sold out of AR15's...

    I visited several local Academy stores, and every one of them was sold out of AR15's. Usually they carry both Bushmaster and S&W. The guys at the gun counters said that they've been selling like crazy since Wednesday morning. I cant say that I'm surprised.

    Limbsaver "precision fit" fitment?

    I've been looking at the Limbsaver templates, trying to determine the right model number. The pad that appears to fit the shape of the stock the best is listed as a pad for wood stocked guns, whereas mine is synthetic. Is there any good reason why it wouldnt work? Is the molded ridge that...

    My new CAMO Remington SPR-453 (pics)

    I picked up a brand new Remington SPR-453 auto shotgun over the past weekend, and wanted to share some pics. Prior to Remington's rebranding, this gun was known as the Baikal MP-153. The SPR 453 has been available for a while in black synthetic, but recently Academy started receiving them in a...

    Para "Slim Hawg" ???

    Does anybody have experience with the Para "Slim Hawg"? It appears to be much like any other compact 3" 1911, as its uses single stack 6-round mags, unlike other Paras (such as the Warthawg, etc) that use double stack mags. Are parts/grips/accessories readily interchangable with other 3"...

    Grip question for 1911's

    When ordering grips for a 1911, there is an option that says "cut for ambidextrous thumb safeties". Are they talking about a knotch for the extended safety paddle, or are they talking about a slot cut for the spur on the right side's safety? I do not have an ambi safety on my gun, however...

    Discoloration of cocobolo grips on 1911?

    I put checkered cocobolo grips on my Springfield 1911 GI. I noticed this morning that there is a spot of discoloration on one of the grip panels. The color on the checkering itself looks fine, but in the tiny gaps between checkering it looks like a grayish-white color. Its not the whole grip...

    Compact 1911's... 3" vs 3.5"

    I'm looking at compact 1911's for concealed carry. Does the 1/2" difference in length have a noticable impact on concealability?

    HR 218 question...

    The law says that retired LEO's need to undergo annual firearms requalification/certification, in order to maintain their exemption from state-level concealed carry laws via HR 218. My question is... what happens if an LEO retires from a local PD or sheriff's office, and then moves to another...

    Limbsaver vs Pachmayr Decelerator for Mossberg 835?

    I'm looking for a new recoil pad for my Mossberg 835. When using 3.5" shells, the recoil can be a bit much. Between the Limbsaver and Pachmayr Decelerator, does one do a better job as lessening perceived recoil?

    Remington 11-87 Sportsman and light loads?

    Does the basic 11-87 Sportsman cycle reliably with light loads? I would be using the gun primarily for duck hunting, but would also like to use it occasionally for dove and clays. I've heard that some autoloader dont do well with some lighter 2 3/4 shells.

    Shipping a 1911 for sights?

    Has anybody here shipped a 1911 slide to Novak or a similar outfit to have sights installed? I'm considering it, but kinda wondering about the fact that they dont guarantee accuracy, according to their website. I could ship the whole gun, in which case they'd test fire and guarantee point of...

    Backup iron sights on Bushmaster?

    I've read that because Bushmaster does not use "F" marked front sight bases on their flattop/removable carry handle models, in order to use backup iron sights you must replace the front sight post with a taller post. Is this the appropriate post for such an application? It says 0.030"...

    Remington UMC JHP's?

    I was at Wallyworld a few days ago, and they had .45 Auto 230 gr. JHP, 100-round "Value Packs", for $36. Seemed like a good price, only $2 more per 100 than the FMJ, so I picked up a couple boxes. So whats the general opinion of Remington UMC JHP's? I usually carry Hornady TAP in my...

    Printing while concealed?

    I'm in the process of getting a CHL, and under Texas law it cannot be obvious that you're carrying. I'm wondering how LEO's interpret the law, and how it is enforced. Will a slight bulge under your shirt drawn attention, or will LEO's generally leave you alone as long as you dont appear to...
