Remington is running a rebate on their 1911 R1 Enhanced in 9mm at $484 from GrabAGun and it's caught my eye. I like the look, finish, and fiber optic sights. Does anyone have recent experience with Remington 1911s?

Brownells is having a sale on Wilson Arms Mauser barrels http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts...633-37503.aspx I was thinking of picking up one of the Military step 30-06 barrels for a rainy day project. I also have an opportunity to pick up a 98k for under $200 that hasn't been tampered...

I'm curious how they hold up. Found one of the older full size size ones for sale locally. This is before the accessory rail was added (Serial #037XX) and comes with four magazines for $375 out the door. Seems to be a good lefty friendly plinker for the money however all the reviews I can...

Took my M&P 9mm to the range to give it a whirl. I started my range session off with my Buckmark, K-22, and K-38. I was hitting bullseyes, feeling good, and decided to try the M&P. I set a target at 10 yards and was hitting 6-8 inches low After a few more magzines I was able to bring...

I've been looking at a used Remington 1100 ($320) and for an extra $100 the seller will include a dedicated rifled slug barrel. I realize there are certain types of slugs you can shoot out of a smooth-bore, but does a rifled barrel offer any additional accuracy?

AIM has scrounged up a batch of Belgiain Hi-powers and they are priced very well. If I didn't already have one (and a wedding to pay for) I'd pick up some more. They all seem to be police trade-ins. $360 for ones with a lot of surface wear...

After finally taking my hunter safety course and watching way too many westerns (The Searchers, Magnificent Seven, etc) I have a hankering for a 30-30 lever action. The look and feel of the Winchester 94 appeals to me so much more then the other levers out there. I found a local seller who has...

Remember when surplus Sig P6's were readily available and cheap....yeah I didn't buy one :banghead: I recently found one for sale for about $325 OTD which is much better then what Centerfire has them going for. I'm not asking if it's a good pistol (mmm Sig) but rather what the availability...

So I'm about to head up to northwest Pennsylvania for work and was looking for some local ranges during my downtime. According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PCG) website there are public ranges available with a $30 annual fee. Are these range permits available to non-residents? I'm...

So I've found a gunsmith in another part of Virginia who can do some work on an old rifle for a reasonable rate. I was under the impression that a non-licensee can ship a firearm within the confines of their state to another non-licensee for repair. When I went to ship my rifle from my local...

So I picked up an Israeli Hi-Power some time ago and I'm trying to figure out the time and place of birth. The serial number is 245NM08994 and matches throughout the pistol. The only Israeli marking I can find is a star of David just to the left side of the oval on the frame. The left side of...

I'm coming down to Columbia for a few weeks very soon and was thinking of bringing along my Buckmark and Hi-Power. I'll be staying near Sesquicentennial State Park and will be looking for a nice range in town.

I have an opportunity to pick up one of these way below MSRP and after some searching I was wondering if there are any XCR owners out there who can speak to their observed pros or cons? I like the adjustable gas system, being able to swap barrels, and the left side charging handle.

So I picked up an older S&W K38 and took it to the range this weekend. While it shoots great I'm having trouble opening up the cylinder to reload. With the release depressed I have to use A LOT of force to get the cylinder to come out. I've never done work on a revolver myself are the...

After moving and downsizing I'm finally getting back into 22s. My co-workers and friends are starting to get interested in shooting so I need to save on ammo when I take people to the range. I'm considering a "fun" 22 to let people blast away with. Now I know I can buy a Ruger 10/22 and...

So my co-worker bought a Mk III SMLE from his neighbor this weekend and needs some help identifying the manufacturer. -Date marked 1941 -Rear of receiver is marked "B"...so maybe BSA? -Bolt is marked "M" -Top of receiver is marked "P" and "M" -As per my co-worked all serial numbers...

Warning Stupid Revolver Question Ahead So I have the opportunity to pick up a nice looking Ruger Blackhawk for very cheap from a local seller. It is chambered for .357 Mag and has a 6.5" barrel. I was curious if it was possible to fire a .38 special through this revolver? I already have...

Saw an AR-15 for sale from Copes Distributing and was wondering if anybody had ever heard of it before? It's the M&P 15 Sport from Smith and Wesson and at $599 it would be a great deal on a plinker. At that price I would be hard pressed to build one, and with a warranty to boot. My only...

I was thinking is buying a CMP Field Grade then adding a new barrel and stock to it. Then somebody offers me one which already converted and I don't know what to do. I don't know the manufacturers of different Garand parts so I may need some help here. Here's what's on the table: -SA USGI...

How hard would it be to remove a Redfield peep sight from a 1903A3 and install a mil-spec rear sight on the receiver? Did these peep sights require drilling?
