Very interesting story about the first pump shotgun patented and built. The story is online from Field & Stream. https://www.fieldandstream.com/guns/first-pump-action-shotgun/

A friend of mine bought a box of 12ga "breaching" loads to play with, and he agreed to give me one for examination. After my assessment, it is my opinion that this ammo is highly over priced for what it is. His box of ten rounds cost him $50. Basically it is rat shot inside the cup with a...

Going to be building another AR in a nostalgic eye. The goal is to build a rifle that mimicks the Vietnam era with the solid rifle stock, 20" barrel, A2 handguard, etc. It's been a few years since I did a build from scratch. I already have the Bolt group/carrier/charging handle from BC on...

I have a question for you Mossberg owners. Recently I did a holiday purchase for myself of a new Mossberg 590. It is my first Mossberg shotgun in all these years. This 590 is the first firearm I have ever bought out of probably 100 or so that did not have a shiny polished finish in the...

Pointer Tek3 is made by KRC in Turkey and imported by Legacy Arms. The 12ga shotgun came with a full set of extended chokes, buttstock shims, and a choke wrench. The wood is Turkish walnut with nice grain and a matte finish. The receiver appears to be cerakote. The barrel is 28" and has a...

I am a sucker for a deal sometimes. Even if it is something used to experiment within my firearms hobby. Buds Guns Shop has the Legacy Sports International Pointer Field Tek 3 Bronze/Wal. 12GA 3+1rd on sale for $250. Here is what I think I know...The pictures and videos I see of the Legacy...

Just was given about 200# of lead. Some of the pieces in the picture are dark grey like one would expect lead to be. Others are bright and shiny but weigh the same. I am wondering if it is suitable for casting bullets. That would be a new hobby for me. I assume I need a bullet mold for...

Got an old .22 rifle that has an aluminum receiver. What's the best way to take off the old finish and put something new on it? Use friction or some sort of stripper? I am not opposed to painting it after, but would it be durable enough?

Recently ordered and received a new Henry pump H003T rifle. This one sure is stiff. More so than it looks like in all of the videos I have watched while contemplating the purchase. I understand it might not be as slick as the lever version, but this one is actually difficult to cycle. I...

I found a scope on sale for my new CZ 457 American. Target shooting at 50 yards mostly. Found this one on sale and took a chance. I ordered a Vortex Optics Diamondback HP 4x 16 x 42 Side Focus. Anyone had experience with these? How did it perform?

So anyone heard or know if there is some sort of differences regarding the black or red followers in the 10/22 magazines? My oldest 10/22 circa 1984 has a magazine with a black follower. My newer 10/22 rifle magazine has a red follower. My Ruger American .22LR rifle has the same magazine with...

Pictured is an 1897 Winchester Riot model made in 1918. Obviously it has been refurbished at some point. The buttpad is obviously not original. Even though it is a nice job, will the refurbishment affect the value much on a shotgun this old? The seller is saying it was refinished 40 years...

I received a new firearm borescope for Christmas. It has been really interesting looking at all my firearm barrels and learning how to use the new tool. It has its own screen and can be used without needing to use other devices like my phone. One interesting find I had is on my Beretta 686...

Still have been looking around for a Beretta 948 pistol. I don't mind paying market price for a decent 948, but the ones on Gun Broker are priced ridiculously high and simply re-auctioned each time they expire.

Anyone out there got a BPS Tactical? Some call it the BPS Security. 20" barrel w/7+1 tube. If so is it as heavy as a regular BPS? Still got all steel receiver? Found a deal but I can't get my hands on it before buying.

It rarely gets mentioned these days it seems. Show your Long Tom turkey shoot shotguns! Maybe it was one your Dad or GrandDad used to win one or more turkeys. I know modern shotguns with modern shot cup ammo tightens the spread. It was not always the case. I used to see old guys come out...

You know how the charity work goes. You offer to help and then it can get out of hand real fast before you know it. I am not an A5 guru. Before I start I need help with some resources. Some of you may know of more resources and please share them with me. Here is the story... I have a...

Just broke down and acquired this Henry .410 last week. The wood was so pretty I couldn't pass it up. It came with a full flush choke. I want to buy an extended choke for it. The website says the Henry single shotguns use "Invector" thread chokes. That says Browning choke to me. My...

Went by a gun store recently just browsing. Not many shotguns to see there. However I found one that just seemed to catch my attention. It was the Henry .410 Single shot. Model H015-410 I just couldn't find anything wrong with it. The bluing was great and the wood beautiful. It had a...

I always wondered why the buttstock, forearm, grips, wood on any firearm would not have the finish on the inside surfaces next to the metal as well as the outside. Looks like the finish on the interior inletting would help prevent contaminates like excess oil etc from penetrating inside the...
