and I've got a few questions. :D I purchased the remchoke model with the deer rifle sights, so it came with an improved cylinder and a rifle choke. What advantage does the rifled choke give you, and does it work with sabots, rifled slugs or both? Also, do they sight in the barrel prior to...

I found this odd rimfire cartridge while helping my father clean out my late great-uncle's house. Not sure exactly what it is: This is it next to a .22 LR. The Head Stamp reads "450" at the bottom and "G.Fiocchi-Lecco" at the top. Here's a picture of the head stamp that's...

Ok, so I've been wondering about this. The past couple of times I've bought a gun in Oregon (actually, the only two times I've ever bought a gun, which is why I'm kinda hazy on this) I was fingerprinted. Ok, I wasn't particularly happy about it, but I figured it was an Oregon law or something...

I'm thinking about getting into reloading, and given that I'm a college student and want to keep associated costs as minimal as possible, I was thinking about getting the Classic Loader Kit, since Cabela's is currently selling them for something like $19. I'm not really interested in high...

Why jewel them? Is there a performance increase, or is it purely aesthetic? I tried to do a search on google and these forums for this info, but couldn't find anything...

Anyone know a good place to get information on this cartridge? Or perhaps knows a bit about it? My father has a Winchester Model 1886 chambered for it, and given the price of ammunition for it ($50+ for a box of 20), he's thinking about reloading for it, and I'm trying to run down some...

Interesting article I found in the blogosphere: http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1205146037339# Interesting parts are bolded. In the beginning of the article, they state that the side with the most briefs generally tends to win. Heller has 47 briefs, DC has 20. Later, however, they...

I just bought a Remington 700 SPS chambered in .30-06 last week. The store I was buying from didn't have any on the shelf, so I had to order one in. It took less than a week for the rifle to arrive (I ordered it last Monday and I got the rifle on Thursday). So far I'm fairly happy with...

Anyone seen one yet? I read about it over at David Petzal's F&S blog. Apparently, they just got a bunch in to test them, and the test groups have come out to about .829 MOA. It also has a trigger similar to Savage's AccuTrigger. Currently, they're making them in .25-07, .270, and .30-06...

Ok, so, which one of those platforms/firearms should I buy next? I'm probably going to get all of them at some point in time in the next 2-5 years or so, but right now my funds are limited, and after I buy one of these it'll be another 5-10 months before I can buy another one. Here are my...

This would be good to know. I was trying to decide between getting the 20" Imp. Cyl. bore barrel for $140 and the 20" RemChoke barrel for $190 or so, and then I noticed that the RemChoke barrel is for the 12 Special Purpose, while the 20" Imp. Cyl specifies its for the 12 Express. The...

The debate over what exactly constitutes "arms" in the second amendment has brought me to this question. Some say "arms" are only those suitable for light infantry or squad-based unit tactics (i.e. man portable light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, etc). Others contend...

Ok, I'm trying to pin down exactly what barrel I want to buy. The purpose for the barrel would be for defensive purposes, both at home and in the woods. It should be capable of accurately shooting slugs at 100 yards, and needs to pattern well with buck shot at say 25 or 30 yards (which I know...

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-guns1807aug18,0,354258.story?coll=orl_home_promo The problem? The "weapon" being shown isn't a SAM at all. Its a USED (i.e. non functional) TOW (anti-tank) missile tube. It poses absolutely no threat, as used TOW missile tubes cannot...

So, anyone know what the cheapest reliable 7.62x51/308 mag fed semi auto is? I'm looking into getting a rifle in 7.62x51 (one that can fire .308 safely would be nice, but not necessary). However, the main entry's into this category, the FN FAL and the M1A are a bit expensive. Anyone know...

The Wal-Mart here has 100 round Federal 12 gauge #8 shot packs going for something like $16.99. Was wondering if its any good, as its at lest $3 cheaper than Remington or Winchester.

Sorry for the topic title, couldn't think of anything better. :p Anyway, I'm watching the morning news on NBC, and just a few minutes ago they were plugging a piece on their Nightly News program about the media's favorite bogeyman, the assault rifle. Except....they didn't call it an assault...

Anyone know of any good adjustable recoil pads for a shotgun? I know Morgan makes them, but I was wondering if anyone else does. Reason I ask is that the stock on my 870 express is about an inch too short for me and the comb needs to be raised a bit. Seems to me an adjustable recoil pad is...

Picture of the Chamber View from straight behind. Red box shows the damaged area. This is a blow up of the area highlighted by the red box in previous picture. The color has been inverted and the contrast increased to show extent of damage. My question is, what is the best way to fix...

Just can't seem to find anything. Closest I can find is Turkey birdshot. I guess there just isn't much demand for it around here. Anyone else ever have this problem? I'm about this close to just opening up a hull of my 7 1/2 shot target loads and pouring in some .25 inch steel slingshot...
