I have a Remington Model 700 VTR in 308. This is the second time I have taken it to the range and shot it from the table on a bipod and also on sand bags. The floor plate drops open upon firing about every 3rd shot. It doesn't matter if the receiver is empty or full. I thought at first my finger...

When you buy a firearm at a gun shop and you fill out that form and they call in for a background check where does the information finally end up that connects you to the make, model, and serial no. of that weapon? I have a CCW here in Idaho and when I purchase I only have to show my card, fill...

I bought a 580 series stainless black stock Mini 5 years ago and recently purchased a sidefolder stock to replace the standard. It didn't take me long to see that was $110 wasted. The original stock has good ergonomics, balances the gun well, and is very comfortable to shoot. Add the side folder...

I have purchased two Ar's and 3 Ak's in the past two years. Have tried the open sights, scopes, and have finally settled on the red dot sighting system for 100-300 yard open range shooting. I mounted an Eotech 512 on the front forestock on the Ak and an Aimpoint COMPML2 on the Bushmaster upper...

I hope there are some Luger guys on here that can help me with a question. I bought a PO8 Luger with a 1939 manufactured date with a '42' on the top that has the eagles over 63 on the right side. All the parts including the walnut grips are matching numbers which is 23. The mag is an aftermarket...

I have a Bushmaster XM15 flat top and an AK ITM Arms MK99 with rail over the gas tube. I have an Eotech 512 and an Aimpoint COMPML2 red dots I would like to mount but can't decide on which gun. My question is, does one or the other work better closer to your eye or are they about the same? Or...

Was curious to know if anyone else has mounted a red dot system on the 308 M1A1? I used a Springfield Generation 3 picatanny mount which allows me to still use the aperture below it for up to 500 yards. A basic Eotech L3 is what I mounted on the rear portion of the rail. I have to use a chin...

I never thought much about them but decided awhile back to go looking for an AK47. At a gunshow a dealer had Model NDS-3s put out by Nodak Spud LLC. Stamped receivers with a side rail and wood furnishings and I assume a pretty basic AK for under $500. It shot high and left like many others I...

I mounted a Burska red dot on a Bushmaster AR-15 and a Trueglo on a AK-47. I didn't spend alot on either, maybe $50-75 and hope they stay together and don't fall apart like some posters have said they will do as they are some of the cheapest. So do you think they will hold up to recoil and keep...

I have a friend who has been quite knowing in the past about rifles. I purchased a nice K31 recently that locks up nice in the bolt and shoots as accurately as anything I have ever shot but he says it is unsafe because of the straight back bolt type action which has injured or killed several...

I tried to use a previous thread but it kept redirecting me and asking to log in again so I do apologize. Have a Victory Model with V on left side of swivel and 2378XX on the right side of swivel. United States Property on the strap with no UK markings. 38 S&W CTG on the barrel. Were these...

Does anyone know what became of Das Jaeger? I enjoyed his posts and many of them were very informative and at times funny.

Is it just me or have others noticed how much easier and time consumed in cleaning is so much less in the Remington New Army 58 design? Thru the summer I bought a 5 1\2 inch ROA in blue to go along with my 58s and three Colt designs. Even the ROA with all of Bill Rugers advancements still for...

I've never fired one and only watched, but my son was shooting a Bushmaster AR15, IOR 4 power scope with bipod in prone position using Brown Bear 62 grain ammo at a trash compactor in a harvested pea field at 1000 yards from my back porch. You could see misses around the target as dust was...

I wanted to look at and possibly buy a Lee-Enfield 303 that was produced in the US according to the seller. Does anyone know anything about them and how they should be stamped and also possibly the value? Thanks. I thought I might get a quicker answer here rather than the SMLE 303 site.

I have a Russian reciever and barrel that was mounted to a synthetic stock but I have that stock no longer. I have two Yugos and one of them is a parts rifle. I tried mounting the wooden stock of the parts rifle onto the Russian hardware but the cross bolt hole in the wooden stock is about a...

My grandson has been shooting my dads pre-war Model 70 30-06 of 1940 vintage for a couple of years now. But yesterday got a Mauser 8mm chambered and fired by accident because some loose rounds were picked up in a drawer which happened to have a couple of Mauser rounds in their also. An out of...

With the uncertainty with this administration towards gun rights in the near future with regards to a super majority led by Pelosi, Reid, Feinstien, Schumer, and Kennedy, if the worst happens what can I look forward to when it comes to registered guns and unregistered guns? I have bought guns...

After a years time and 1600 hundred rounds of Hornady round balls in three Colts and 3 Remmies I would like to post my personal observations. I have a Navy Arms 51, Pietta 60 Army, Colt 1st Dragoon, Uberti 5 1/2 inch Remington, and two Pietta 8 inch Remingtons. I did have a Uberti Walker which...

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere in the past threads but could somebody tell me how careful they are with picking up and disposing of lead rings after the round ball is seated? With the Remington 58 cylinders being easy to remove it is easy to pick out the lead rings if I am using the...
