Can anyone provide me with some information on Schimel GP22 CO2 powered .22 caliber pellet pistol. I am not if it is worth getting new seals or selling it if there is any value.

I have a ton of ironwood in my backyard. A storm took down a good size ironwood sapling and I want to make a walking stick or two out of it. I have heard mixed things about removing the bark, leaving it on, letting the wood dry for a year, etc. What is the best course of action with ironwood...

My wife stated that she would like a recurve bow for Christmas. She has no experience with archery. I would like to find something in the 25-30 pound pull with the option of adding new limbs to bow to increase the poundage as she gets better with it. Unfortunately the budget is limited to $100.

Can anyone help identify the rifle in the pictures below. I have a friend of the family that wants to give it to me but I want to make things right if the gun has significant value. It was brought over to the U.S. several generations ago when relatives immigrated from France. No one has used...

I have been wanting a single action revolver for a long time. Watching 3:10 Yuma only made things worse. What should I look for in a single action revolver. I have a few .357s so it would probably be best to stick with that caliber but I do not want to rule anything out. What's the best...

I recently had a friend of mine show me a small .25 caliber pistol called the Little Tom. Very little information can found through google searches. I was wondering if anyone had any information on this pistol or even its value. From what I have found so far it was manufactured in Austria or...

Once a year I like to do some sort of firearm training. Last year I took a pistol class at the Bullet Hole in Belleville, NJ. Excellent trainer and a great group of guys. This year I would like to take a shotgun defense class. I have spent most of my shooting time this year shooting skeet so...

If you have a chance check out Outdoor Life's August issues. It has a great article on the AR-15 rifle. Outdoor Life typically has few firearm articles but this one was very well done.

The AR-7 is a great concept but has major reliability issues. Has anyone tried these guys to improve their AR-7 http://www.majesticarms.com/ma2000.html

Yesterday I was shopping around a gun show for a double barrel shotgun. I was hoping to find one in 20 guage, no luck. I did come across a double barrel Ithaca 12 guage. It was in absolute pristine condition. What can you tell me about the Ithaca Side by Sides. The dealer was asking $495, I...

I am supposed to go rabbit hunting towards the end of this month. It will be some where an hour north of Albany, NY. I have only been pheasant hunting (15+ years ago) and I have no other hunting experience. The group that I am going with are all bringing shotguns (Remington 870s). My...

Can anyone recommend a good security camera. I would need something that can stand up the elements outside and usuable at night. Basically I need to watch my front steps, driveway and front walk. I have not idea what is good quality and what is a waste of money. Thanks.

I have narrowed my choices down to two rifles for part of my bug out gear. One is the Keltec Sub 2000 the other is a Marlin 1894 in .357. I am choosing one of these two rifles because they are legal in my state, use the same ammo as my bug out handguns Glock 19 and Ruger Security Six and I can...

For me it has been almost a year since I have been to the range. I finally went this Sunday. Here are a couple of things I realized: - I forgot how hard it is to hit things with a handgun - I really miss going, all my previous excuses seem weak now - I need to add going to the range to my...

I have a Marlin Camp Carbine .45 caliber that I have only shot twice. I have heard stories of the stock cracking. What accessories do I need to prevent this and is there anything else I should add to it. I am sitting on a good supply of .45 ammo that is begging to be shot. I know there is...

My local gun store sent me a $20 off coupon on any new firearm purchase. It turns out I was already planning on going there for a new fishing license. Plus my birthday is coming up. I think it's about time I picked up that Marlin .357 lever action or at the very least a single shot 12 guage.

My soon to be brother in-law lent me his grandfathers Springfield 1903 from WWII. Unfortunately for him my sister in-law hates guns so he hid it in the basement. When he showed it to me it had some pitting and rust and the bolt was a little stiff. I offered to clean it up for him. To make...

My sister in-law just dropped off a box an a half winchester 9mm. Her new boyfriend gave it to her to give to me saying he no longer owned a 9mm. The ammo in the full box is fine, no cracks, mold, etc. The half filled boxed is a mess. The ammo is covered in mold. Apparently this is the ammo...

Tonight an alarm system salesman came to my door trying to sell my on some new type of alarm system with a bunch of bells it whistles. In your experience are they an effective deterent. I have two big dogs, anything of value is locked up, motion lights, dead bolts, retired next door neighbor...
