    Does Bass Pro sell chronys?

    Anyone know if Bass Pro sells chronys? Can't find them on their website and since our store's gun department is always hard to get on the phone, thought I'd ask here before I head that way to see.

    I think the ATF might have followed me from a show today...

    I live in Missouri and went to the NW Arkansas gun show today which is about 20 miles south of the MO state line. I'm usually on the lookout for high quality pellet pistols that are sellling cheap for the collection and ended up buying two at the show. I left the show and noticed a city...

    FFL making private sales?

    Went to a gun show today and approached a seller who had an interesting 22 revolver. I asked if he was an FFL and he stated that most of the guns he was selling were his and would sell via "FFL" status, but the 22 revolver and a few other handguns belonged to his son... who gave them to his Dad...

    Why is 18.5" barrel best for defense?

    I have a newer Mossberg 500A. Probably a dumb question, but why is a short 18.5" shotgun barrel considered best for defense use? Does 8 to 10 fewer inches give you a better advantage? Is it worth buying an additional short barrel for defense purposes?

    Walking out of pawn shops with guns

    I love buying cheap guns at pawn shops, but that walk out of a pawn shop to the car carrying a gun is a different story... especially in bad busy neighborhoods. Seems like I'm always a magnet for the local "riff raff". :uhoh: I like looking around at pawn shops in bad neighborhoods. Sometimes...

    Need advise buying a cheap 12ga shotgun

    Hi all, I know little about shotguns, but would like to add a cheap 12ga to my small arsenel if anything just to shoot at the range and get more familiar with that type of firearm. The gun shops seem full of used, single shot 12ga guns for well under $100 made by H&R, FIE, NEF, Stevens, etc...

    Does Kmart still sell gun stuff?

    Been a few years since I've been in a Kmart due to their store closings and major downsizing. Do they still sell guns and supplies? If so, how do they compare in selection to Walmart? Might have to look a Kmart up if they still sell them. Also, I've seen a few former Kmart stores in the...

    Norinco ATD 22 semi-auto questions

    I know Norinco imports have been banned for some time, but does Norinco still make the ATD 22 Browning copy? Can't find info about it on their website. Also, anyone know if a manual exists for the ATD 22 on the net for download? Thanks

    Colt Frontier Scout .22lr - Good target gun?

    A relative just gave me a mid '60s vintage Colt Frontier Scout .22lr in very good to excellent shape. Just wondering how accurate these guns are, like target practice at 25 yds, and how do they compare to today's six shot revolvers like the Ruger Single Six? Thanks

    Does the NRA want new members?

    Signed up for a NRA membership at a gun show weeks ago. Recruiter said it takes 4 weeks to receive the membership packet and magazine. It's been 5+ weeks and haven't received anything. Called the NRA today and was told there's no record of my membership, it's common for recruiters to be slow in...

    Mags for Browning 9mm

    Have a 1972 Browning Hi-Power 9mm with one 13 rd factory mag. I'd like to find another factory mag for it. Have seen references on the net to Browning BDM 10 rd 9mm mags for around $12. Will these work in an older Browning? Any recommendations for online sources selling 13 rd factory mags...

    Wilson Combat sights - any good?

    Bought a Browning Challenger II which appears to have an aftermarket Wilson Combat rear sight on it. Fits the dovetail nicely and looks like a custom job. Looked up some info on Wilson Combat and see they mostly sell sights for the 1911 anymore. Bought the gun at a show in NW Arkansas and that's...

    Hoppes Bore Snake question

    Hi all, Probably a dumb question, but Hoppes makes bore snakes for both .22 rifle and .22 pistol due to length differences. I have the .22 rifle snake... can I use it to clean a .22 pistol (Browning Challenger II) or is it not a good idea? Thanks

    FFL transfer fee required for gun trades?

    Did some trading + cash with the local gun shop last week and the owner stated that gun trades legally require a transfer fee. His charge was small ($5) which was added to the gun price, but is this for real or ? I thought transfer fees mostly involved receiving guns from out of state FFLs and...
