I walked into Field Times today and gravitated to a sign that said on sale. Sure enough it was a Browning Citori in 28ga. I held it to check it for fit and looked at my wife and smiled. She asked me if this is the one I had wanted forever and I smiled again. She commented on how it was a good...

I have an opertunity to purchase a used skb 600 and the gun looks good. I am concerned with the position of the center lever, it is slightly left of center. I was told this was a sign of needing to be re tightened. Is this true? And how much would it cost to do this repair.

I was wondering what I have in these pics. I was given a box of misc items and I was trying to find out what they are and an approx value of the items. Thanks in advance JW

I wandered into my local Turners and was looking for a new toy. I stumbled onto a cz 75b in 40. I liked the gun and it fit my hand well but I left to sleep on it. I took the wife with me later that night for a second opinion and she too liked it. I was going to walk out and do some research on...

I just traded for a glock 21 from a local guy I had met and I am waiting for the thing to get out of prison next friday. It was manufactured in 1994 and hardly any wear at all. What gen is this pistol? I have never owned a glock but I want to try something new and give my 1911 a rest. I want...

A few years back m brother and I purchased a pink cricket 22 rifle for my oldest daughter. I had the distinct pleasure of taking her to break it in on Sunday. For the last few weeks we would drill in the garage on gun safety and how it operated. I had a wonderful time though I shot very...

I was at my local gun store tonight looking for a new toy. I had a $350 budget and I wanted a used 9mm to shoot and was thinking of a glock. I was talking with the counterman and told him my situation and he brought out a few used guns telling me he did not have any used 9mm glocks. I went...

My friend just dropped off a box of guns stuff as he calls it and I came across these slides. They are all colt. The top one is a national match with what apears to be a new colt barrel. The second one has model of 1911 us army on it and appears to be the oldest of the bunch. The third one...

I was in my garage trying to remove the rear sight from my 7 mauser. i used heat to melt the solder and had no luck getting it to budge. So against my better judgement I broke out the dremel tool and proceeded to cut the sightfrom front to back. You guessed it i cut too deep:banghead: I let...

I have installed a 3.5 cylinder and slide trigger kit in my buddies 1911. For some reason the safety will not fully engage. I have never done this before but several people have reccomended this kit to him. Personelly I think this weight of pull is too light but I cant change his mind. My...

I just finished my build about a month ago and I have fallen in love with this gun. I put 250 rounds through it last week and it inspires big grins. I was wondering what parts will wear out or break that I need to keep in my range bag. I know this is premature but the round count is adding up...

I have been trying to build an ar-15 for the last five months. Last night it all came together:evil:. The upper is a 16' bushmaster, I think the barrel is chrome lined and has a 1-9 twist. The receiver is Spikes and the lpk came from DPMS. I found a tapco stock at a local dealer and now it is...

i have a well used kimber stainless fullsize 1911. After taking up idpa this last year I have put several thousand rounds through this pistol. I was cleaning the gun tonight when i noticed the foot of the barrel had wear marks on it and so did the slide stop. What causes this? Is this a big...

I went to the local range last night and I had a nightmare trip. i loaded 100 rounds of laser cast 200 swc over 5 grains at an oal of 1.23 and turned my favorite pistol into a jam-o-matic. I had 30 jams that tore the neck of the brass slightly. This is very frustrating:cuss: Does anyone have...

Last week a friend gave me a hundred rounds of surplus 30-06. The head stamp reads fn 57 or 58. I loaded several of them into enblock clips and headed to the range. Much to my surprise I had several hang fires and failures to fire, pretty scarry. My question is can I reuse the brass? There...
