Has anyone here done this? How does it work out with the moving parts (lever / bolt)? How expensive / difficult to do should this be? I got a great deal on a .44 Marlin levergun, and would like a finish more durable and brighter (stainless-like) than blued. Is parkerized even the way to...

I stopped by a shop today at lunch and saw a 1984 Marlin in .44. I've been looking for one and asked if they would take $380, since it was used. After going in the back and asking the manager, the friendly counterperson told me it was my lucky day, and that they would take $380. It was marked...

I used to own a Mossberg 500 combo and really thought it was the bee's knees. I outfitted it exactly the way I wanted it, had a 28" (I think) vent-rib for clays (and potentially geese one day) and an 18.5" beaded barrel for HD. Then I got bit. The bug that bit me was the bug for a semi-auto...

I've been under the impression that it is very difficult to own a firearm for self-defense in the city of Los Angeles, much like it is in Chicago or Washington DC. I've seen statistics that show these places have very high firearm-involved crime rates. When I tried to do some googling to...

Recently I was asked an interesting short question to which I had to formulate a very long answer to. I thought I had come up with a fairly good answer and thought I would share it with you folks here on THR. Feel free to post your thoughts. “Do you think that guns will be outlawed soon?”...

Hey there reloading experts! I need your help! I'm going to pick up my first set of reloading gear next week and wanted a shopping list so I could pick everything up the first time I go, so I figured I would ask here! But of course there's a catch... 1) All equipment must be purchased...

I put this in revolvers instead of Reloading because I thought if I put it there, everyone would answer my question with "START RELOADING DUR!" I thought I could get a more balanced demographic with my question here. So here's my situation: I got a cashcard from Cabela's in the mail the...

The trigger on my 75B in .40 has become a little creepy and doesn't break as cleanly as I remember. This could also be because of my increased expectations since I got my XD (which in my opinion for a polymer gun has a very decent trigger). I asked a smith about it, and he quoted me a price...

It seems to me that now that UTAH allows non-resident permits, with all their reciprocity they have been the most popular state to get a permit in. I have a road trip planned coming up in a year or so, and it's going to take me through many of the states in the union, so it sure would be nice...

I've been looking for an AR, but I don't want to have to go through the trouble of configuring it myself, so I thought I'd look at some that already had 20-30 accessories bolted/duct taped on. Also it must be unfired. What do you guys think of this one? Custom Built: single shot...

:confused: My next rifle purchase needs have some specific traits, without breaking the bank. There are thousands of rifles out there and I have no idea where to even begin looking to find out what I'm looking for, so I thought I could list what I need, and maybe someone could make a...

Dear THR, Today in my email, I was sent the following terrible news: I am affected by this news in a way that I can't really put into words. It's been on my mind all day, and to be frank, I don't really know how this could be prevented with current rules and regulations on campus housing...

I didn't see this posted before, although it isn't really that new. I think it's probably the most shocking and disturbing thing I have read in the news yet. The LEO didn't even get a slap on the wrist. How can he sleep at night? http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/637859.html So...

I need some advice. I've been looking around online for guides to getting started hunting, to no avail, so I thought I would ask here. :confused: I have never hunted anything in my life, although I am a somewhat experienced shooter. I have a Mossberg 500 12ga with a 28" vent-rib barrel and...

I haven't seen this question asked yet, even after searching, so please forgive me if this has been addressed before. I was born in the United States after my parents came to America from Europe. They were escaping the communist regime there and decided they didn't want to start a family...

I found an ad for some guns in my area and one of them happens to be what I am looking for - a .22wmr lever action. I thought because of budget constraints I would have to settle for a henry (or not settle for, just get a henry) but I really wanted a winchester for unsubstantiated reasons...

I searched and saw no mention of this before. Sportsmansguide.com is selling bulk packs of 400, 800, and 2000 rounds of wooden bullet ammo for cheap (comparatively) http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=310818 What the heck would this be used for? Can you target practice with this...

I recently made an embarassing post on the For Sale/Trade forum here claiming that I was looking for an over/under shotgun for under $200. Since then I have realized I need to do more research before I speak, so here goes: I have always loved the look and feel of over unders, and loved that...

A few nights ago (Fri, Mar 16 @ 4AM) my roommates were awoken(?) by a very loud crash and some yelling. Me bieng the hibernation expert of the group, I slept right through it. Checking to make sure all the doors were locked and peeping out the window a little through the blinds, they decided...
