Thought I would start my research here on shotguns by asking you kind folks to steer me in the right direction in my search for a bear protection shotgun. My criteria are as follows: -Must have sling mounts -Most of my walking will be in steep mountain forests so it can't be too long...

Can anyone answer the following questions, I'm fairly new to guns,: -What happens if you hold a bullet and light a lighter under it? How much realistic danger is it to do this? -What happens if a box of ammo is thrown on a campfire? How much danger can this pose? Will it be dangerous for...

I can't seem to get my head around the half cock safety on my win 94. Someone said it's the safest position to have the rifle in. Why is that? Is it not safer to have it completely un-cocked? What is the best way to carry a lever action with a chambered round? Half cock or un-cocked? I am...

Just bought my neighbors mint Winchester 94 in 30-30. I'm pretty new at guns and trying to get info on that round. What is it good for? How far can it shoot accurately? 100, 200, 300, 1000 yards? What other round does it compare to? Someone posted here somewhere that it's comparable to...

I was raised on the Speghetti Westerns and such and none of those dudes had scopes on their rifles. (I realize they were not invented yet;) . It does seem to me that it would be alot more fun to develop the skills required to handle a rifle like the "real" men of long past fictitious days. Are...
