I'm looking at a Glock 17, and trying to figure out approximately when it was manufactured. It does not have an accessory rail and has texturing on the front of the trigger guard. This has me thinking it's a Gen 2. I looked at...

About 10 years ago, I did the whole AK-ification thing on a Saiga 7.62x39. I haven’t been paying too much attention since, but remember that Kobra sights were supposedly the ones that made the most honor to glorious Russian motherland. Is that the case? I really just want something that isn’t...

It’s been a decade since I’ve seriously considered purchasing an AR-15. Back then there was RRA, Colt, Stag, and others. Who’s good now?

I'm thinking of trading up my Savage MKII/Bushnell scope combo (the kind you get at Cabela's) for a CZ 455 American combo (the one with the .17 HMR and .22 LR barrels) and am wondering about scopes. What would be a good scope for covering both calibers? I'm not familiar enough with the...

About six years ago (... sheesh... six years?) I did the whole AK thing with my Saiga. I didn't have much cash to spend on it at the time, so I had to kind of hack it when it came to machining out a spot for the the cleaning rod in the lower handguard. I used one of the Dinzag bolt-on handguard...

I have a Ruger SR9c that I got not too long ago. I took it out after buying it, and it was pretty decent for the first time shooting it. I adjusted the sights using a laser boresighter, thinking I could do better. Wrong-o. Now it's as much as foot off at 15 yards, which is a problem for a pistol...

I'm looking for a way to save on 9mm ammunition, and want to know what reloading could do for me in that area. I've got a Ruger SR9c, so anything I'd reload would have to function in that weapon. From what I've seen, 9mm rounds are currently $.25-$.30 a round. Could I expect to save by...

I'm looking at possibly purchasing a used SR-9 I saw at a gun store today. Felt good in the hand, though I haven't had a chance to shoot one yet. What are your experiences with this model of pistol? How are reliability and accuracy? I think I'd have one mainly for going to the range every once...

It's been a few years since I frequented the forums here, and I'm trying to get a refresher on what all is up with AR-15s. I remember that a few components makers were more high-end than the others, but that was years ago... when the AR had just established itself as the gun everyone was buying...

Good day. Hard to believe it's been over a year since I was last here. :p Some idiot (who shall remain nameless because my ego is fragile) forgot to properly clean his Saiga after firing corrosive ammunition in it a few months ago. Come back from school for Christmas, get it out, and there is...

Got some questions about hogs. 1. I'm in Missouri, and I know that there are some here in state to the south. Are they easily found? 2. What kind of rifle will work for Missouri hogs? I have a 12 gauge Benelli SNT, and a converted 7.62x39mm Saiga. I assume those would work well. 3...

I'm in the final stages of my Saiga conversion. Today I bought two standard AK mags. I bought my bullet guide kit and stuff, so now I need to know how to install it. It's a round trunnion, no hole. What do I need to do to get this thing done? I have a corded drill... no press. Have the tap...

I'm doing a restoration on a rifle. The rifle isn't very old, about 3 years old. It's a Saiga, and after doing work on it, it's occurred to me that the finish isn't that great on it. I've taken some of the finish (seems to be a very, very light powder coat) off with sandpaper. Obviously, it...

Well, now that I have a summer job and a surplus of free time (sitting in the parents' house bored is never good for the psyche), I've decided to take the plunge on converting the Saiga. I've got the parts ordered... the internal parts and the grip screw. Now what I need to do is find...

I was flipping through the manual for my dad's Glock the other day, and it in the back that the age for transferring a handgun to someone (or the minimum age) was 18. I thought it was 21. I'm in Missouri. Is the age 18 or 21? Also, I remember hearing something about the MO state assembly...

With shotgun shells being loaded with a wide variety of payloads these days (beanbags, stun guns, OC), I was wondering about a few more loads. Specifically, .68 or .40 caliber paintballs and airsoft ammunition. Would the paintball rupture against the wadding when fired? If so, is it...

I've written up an article on the Winchester Model 1911 SL on Wikipedia. Problem is, information on the weapon is sparse. I need help sourcing the article and could use a proofread on it to make sure it's accurate. Can you guys help out? Here's the article.

I'm in the market for a Benelli SuperNova Tactical. Unfortunately, Cabela's, who I have $200 in gift cards for, won't have the model (black with ghost ring sights) in for 6 months. Where else can I find them?

Is it possible for a gunsmith to go and thread your barrel for choke tubes after you buy it? Thinking of that as a possibility... when I get the Benelli I'm looking at (SNT), I want to be able to use chokes... and can you get it threaded for different brands?

Aguila 1.75" shotgun shells What the heck are these? What would you use them for?
