Hey guys My main rifle is my Remington 700 CDL, .30-06 with nice Sightron scope. Although it is nice, I want an iron sighted bolt action rifle that I can use as a shooter and project rifle. I love push feed, but I love the feel of a Mauser action. How hard is it to find a k98, or similar...

Hey guys I'm in the process of re finishing an very corroded revolver. It has surface pitting over 80% and deep pitting covering probably about 50%. So far I have been doing well just sanding down the mild surface rust but the deeper pits are much harder to deal with. I was wondering...

Hey guys, I'm just finishing my associates degree at a community college and I'm looking into gunsmithing schools. I looked into the schools my senior year of high school along with some state universities and I really had my heart set on going out to Montana. Unfortunately, the sobering...

Hey guys Picked up a box of surplus ammo from the gun store the other day. I forget what it is, but it's had the copper washed case with "10" over a "84". I paid $10 for the box of 20. $.50 isn't that bad, I would expect surplus ammo to be a little cheaper. What really got me was that he told...

Hey guys I've been trying to get on Midway USA the past couple of weeks to order some reloading components, but their site hasn't been working. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hey guys First of all I just want to say, I don't want to impose any restriction on anything. I'm not trying to change anybody's minds, I'm just looking for some insight and opinions. IIRC, since the government started controlling machine guns, there have only been two murders with...

Hey guys, over the past couple of months I have had a desire to get a small semi automatic rifle that fires something more potent than .22LR. I like both the SKS, and the M1 Carbine, but I want to look into the Carbine before I buy an SKS. What I'm looking for is a rifle that I can take with...

So my buddy is selling his AKs and one is a converted Saiga, in 7.62x39. He added the pistol grip, compliance kit (G2 trigger) and a Galil type fore grip.He is asking $600 for the entire rifle. I assume it comes with at least one 10 rounder. I wasn't really planning on buying a rifle like...

So I was just thinking about this. I do think about it time to time but I figure there isn't much I can do. But recently I got a job in a city, and I seem to be spending more time in the area. What I am concerned about is being attacked inside my Jeep, at a red light or a traffic jam. Now...

I am trying to find out how to take apart my Henry Lever Action rifle. It is model H001, I believe. In the manual they say there is no need to take it apart. I find this some of the worst advice I have ever heard. I am mechanically inclined, and have plety of time (it's not my only rifle) and...

So I have often been stumped by this, but how come AR-15's have such a poor looking finish? The aluminum could be hard anodized a really nice satin black color but instead manufacturers insist on that "carbon build up on the inside of your charcoal grill" look. I'm not trying to hate on the...

Ok so I saw this post in a saiga .223 range report thread. Now I am trying to figure out what type of AK to get. I liked the Saiga, but according to the salesman at the gun shop I cannot legally put a high capacity magazine in a low capacity gun. I live in Massachusetts, where the assault...

First of all I want to let you guys know that I have just read like 4 threads on the bullet. Now I for a while I was going to get an AR-15 upper receiver for my lower half, until I picked up an AK. I just like the feel of it. It feels a lot more solid, and the sound and feeling of pulling the...

So I am finally getting around to getting an AR-15 rifle. I have the lower but no stock or upper. I checked out some different models at Kittery yesterday and although I liked the 20" version in the past, the 16" (or 18" according to the sales clerk) seems much handier and considerably lighter...

Well to start off, my girlfriend really enjoys going shooting with me and is now in the process in getting a her FID (I'm in MA). She doesn't have a lot of money and with school being her #1 priority (well, mine too but oh well) she cannot afford to buy things on the side. I have mentioned it a...

Hi, like the title says I'm looking for an AK or even an SKS type rifle. Why? Well I'm not really sure but I haven't ever bought a gun just for the sake of having a cool gun so I want to get one just for that reason. I'm basically just looking for an AK type rifle that works well. The only...

I am working on repairing a beat up Herbert Schmidt .22 LR revolver. Before I make any major modifications to it, should I be concerned about the value of the gun? I just don't want to ruin any collector's value if it is indeed worth some money. Also, if I was to purchase a new cylinder from...

http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_disp/displ/carfnbr/266/sesent/00 I keep seeing these surefire fore ends everywhere, needless to say arfcom too but I have to ask whats so special about these? I can appreciate the practicality of a light on a weapon but how does a piece of plastic and a...

Recently, I picked up a Stag-15 completed lower receiver sans the stock. I got it for $200 out the door and a Bushmaster factory 10 round magazine for $20. The lower was $180 at the gun show where I saw it before but an extra $20 doesn't bother me to much. Now I am looking for an A2 style...

First of all, I live in Mass. Tomorrow, I'm going to a gun show. In the future I plan on building an AR-15. Can I even buy a stripped lower? If I buy, one can I assemble it in MA? If I can build one, what restrictions are placed on the gun?
