I have an M1 Garand that was bought through the CMP. Before anyone suggests it, know that I am well aware that the CMP will do what they can to make this right. However, I'm just not yet convinced this is necessary. Plus, I enjoy working on things myself. So... Two shots have been fired...

Hello! I have 2 different IWB "tuckable" holsters. One is Galco, and the other is from a local vendor. Both of them have steel clips, and BOTH of their clips keep bending on me. :banghead: I've gotten replacements a couple of times thinking I'd just be more careful, but that's not working...

I have a quick question about that word, "honors." Does it mean that if I am a resident of Ohio, and obtain a Virginia 'non-resident' CCW permit, Ohio will "honor" that permit for the duration of the permit's validity (ie, 5 years)? Or, rather, does that mean they will only honor it for a...

Just like many of you all, we have a nice garden. Our home is on the outskirts of a small city (25K or so), which is on the outskirts of a bigger city (200K or so). We have all sorts of critters here... racoons, possums, rabbits, skunks, etc.? Can someone recommend an air rifle or pellet...

Hello, I got to see a Howa 1500 today for the first time at a local gun store. I was pretty blown away. I went specifically wanting to look at Tikka, Vanguard, A-Bolt, X-Bolt, and Savages. I also ended up looking at lots of other things--Mossberg ATR, Ruger American, Ruger Hawkeye, etc...

Hello, All, I'm trying to learn more about rifle barrels. I want my next purchase/project to be a bolt action rifle. I've been reading a lot about how accuracy suffers when the barrels heat up. Call me impatient, but I really want to minimize this. I've been shooting frequently at 200 yards...

Hello, All, I have a sporterized Mauser (.30-06) that is using a Leupold STD 1-Piece base with Leupold rings. Every time I come back from shooting, the little windage screws are a little bit loose. At the time I bought them, I was assured that they are not a problem; and indeed, I have not...

Hello, All. I have ZERO experience with anything muzzle-loading or black powder-related. Some of you may have seen my thread under "hunting" about having moved to Ohio in the last few years, but never having gone hunting here. Whilst looking into it for this year, I discovered that my .44mag...

Hello, All, I am relatively new to the state of Ohio, and have never attempted hunting here. I live in NE Ohio. I was wondering if people could enlighten me on things that I need to know about hunting in Ohio, and the things that I would need. First of all, it makes it sound like you...

The rifle is a customized VZ24 rebarreled in .30-06. It came with a scope attached to the receiver by a Redfield-style dovetail mounting system (single dovetail). It had a cheap scope with beaten-up rings. The mount was a little beaten up, too, but I gave it a try. Long story short, I have a...

I recently started having an issue with my PTR91. I tried everything of which I could think to solve the problem, but I just could not figure out what it was. Well, I figured out today that it's the ammo listed above. I had several mags of it, and all malfunctioned. The mags of other brands...

I recently purchased a customized Mauser (Czech vz. 24) re-barreled in .30-06. I'm having some feeding/mag issues that I hope I can get clarified. I'm finding mixed messages from web searches. Some folks say that this rifle should feed .30-06 just fine while others say that the mag is too...

I recently purchased a new rifle. It's a customized Mauser. It is drilled and tapped on top of the receiver for mounting a scope. My plan was to install see-through rings and a Bushnell Elite 3200 10X scope. It also has a really nice Monte Carlo stock. Well... here's the deal. The...

I just bought a new (to me) rifle. It has a crappy scope on it, and I have a much better one to mount. The thing is, I CANNOT get any of the screws out. Most of the screws are at least somewhat stripped, and I cannot get them to budge. I've tried using gun oil/wd40 on them, but that didn't...

Hello, Everyone! I just bought a used Mauser, and I'd like to know some more about it. It's a .30-06 with the serial number 5795N3. I'm kind of assuming it's a post-war commercial Mauser, but I'm no expert on these things. Is there a way to find out? Anything else I could/should look for...

I've had an SKS for a while. I've rarely shot past 50 yards, and rarely on paper. I typically do that with other rifles. Well, I went to the range yesterday, set up at 100 yards, and got about 12" groups. I was terribly disappointed... not that I expected 2" or anything, but I had been...

I started researching these, but there are so many companies out there that I quickly became overwhelmed. I'm looking at what's available in a fixed 10X scope with a Mil-Dot Reticle. I will pay enough to avoid junk, but to be honest, I plan to keep this as low as possible. I know that's...

Hello, I was looking around at what .308/7.62x51 might be available these days and found some 112-Grain Spanish Mil-Surp. My first thought was that they might not cycle well in a semi-auto rifle b/c of not quite enough power. (I don't know the details of how this works... but know that...

My wife got to shoot an AR15 for the first time yesterday. Unfortunately, we couldn't afford one at prices from 3 months ago, far less now. When asking her what about it she liked, she was purely describing the adjustable stock (she's fairly small, and was able to shorten it), the pistol grip...

Hello, I live in Northeast Ohio. I have a group of people that want to be introduced to firearms and shooting this week, and was planning on taking them to the range that I use. However, I contacted the owner of that range, and he said it would be $15/person/hour. Suffice it to say that I...
