    Ruger Single six Problem

    I have a Ruger Single Six 22LR/22WMR convertible. But, I'm having a problem with it. After I fire a few cylinders, the empty cases get very difficult to extract. The ejector rod only moves about 1/4" - 1/2" and it seizes up. I think the hole in the frame where the ejector goes through gets...

    Please tell me about my new Ruger Security-Six

    I recently picked up a Ruger Security-Six that I bought from a large mail order store (CDNN). I got it without any papers or a box. I knew that before I bought it and I'm actually very happy with the gun. I was told that it was "like new in box" condition and a 4" .357 stainless steel model...

    How do you keep the receiver pins from falling out of a Remington 870?

    I have a Remington 870 and one of the two receiver pins (the smaller one) is not in the gun securely. If I turn the gun sideways and pump it a few times and wiggle the trigger guard, the small pin drops out. I just cleaned the gun very thoroughly so, I hope that doesn't have anything to do...

    What is a fair price for a new Remington 870 Police shotgun with a wood stock and forearm, 20 inch improved cylinder barrel, 4 +1 capacity (no mag extension) and a bead sight? I do not believe this has the new R3 recoil pad. I've looked all over the internet and cannot see what they normally...

    I see that Armalite sells magazines for the AR-10 but, are there any other sources? They seem pretty expensive. Are the biggest the 20rd mags? Are AR-10 mags interchangeable with any other rifle mags? Thanks. Joe Mamma

    I have seen the conversion cylinders that let you shoot a centerfire cartridge out of a black powder revolver. Are these safe? Are they good quality? Will they hold up to a lot of shooting? I saw that Midway has them ("R & D conversion cylinders") for Uberti, Pietta, and Ruger Old Army guns...

    Suggestions on how to care for an old wood stock?

    I have a double barrel/side by side shotgun that is about 30 years old. It is just an inexpensive plain Jane generic gun that never gets used anymore. But, it has sentimental value so, I'd like to keep it in good shape if it's not too much trouble. The wood stock seems to be drying up so...
