It's odd. But my preference in handgun finishes are stainless steel for revolvers and blued/tactical for semis. Actually, when it comes to semis, I just don't like SS or anything satin. And I love SS in revolvers, even SAA styles. Does anyone else have the same preference?

Okay, imagine Andy Rooney's voice for the following rant: "Do you ever notice that when you're looking for the weights of handguns online, all you can find are the empty weights? Why do I want to know what the weight of an empty firearm is? Do people go hunting with unloaded guns? "Do...

I just purchased 20 5 round boxes for my new 870P magnum. These shells ARE NOT CHEAP ($7 a box at Cabela's). One of the boxes only had 3 shells in it, although that could have been the vendor's fault. However, two or three of the boxes (of the ones I have checked so far) had poorly...

I just ordered an 870 Police Magnum on gunbroker.com The sku is 4421. What's the difference between the 4421 and the 24421, which looks identical to mine? Mine has the two shot extension, also.

I was looking at the newest issue of either Field & Stream OR Outdoor Life (sorry, it's my brother's mag) recently. I saw in one of the features sections a list of new guns. One was a 45-70 Marlin. It looked like an awesome little rifle. It had a full tubular magazine, like on a 336, but it...

Hi all, It's time for me to get a gun safe. I tried looking at all the previous posts regarding safes but I could not find what I was looking for. I have a few specific needs. I am looking for an inexpensive safe, about $400-$600. It is unlikely that at any time in my life will I have...

I've seen some remarks made recently in several threads, mostly quotes from anti-gunners, declaring that even the 1st Amendment isn't an absolute right, so therefore the 2nd Amendment shouldn't be either. There's a problem with this statement. The 1st Amendment IS an absolute right, in that...

I have a fairly new 700 LTR and loading it is a pain in the butt. Being a 700, it does not have a detachable mag, so it must be loaded from inside the receiver. It's a .308, so it's a short action. What happens is it feels like the cartridges need to fit JUST RIGHT in order to load...

Since this pistol came out, I have had my eye on it. I thought, some day I will own one. I got one this weekend, and was able to shoot it at deer camp today. I am, so far, in awe of this pistol. The ergonomics of the gun are simply amazing. It becomes an extension of your gripped...

I have a friend who wants to sell his Glock 19. It's gotta be one of the original 19's I would say, based on the age. He's had it since the early 90s. I haven't seen the gun in years, but he says it is in great shape, with no mechanical hiccups ever reported. He's fired about 200-300...

I saw Minority Report tonight, and loved the small autos the cops used in them. I couldn't identify them until I did some google searching a few minutes ago. They look like nice little beefy autos. Are they good guns?

I noticed last week that the free floating barrel of my LTR is not even in the stock. It's funny, because I hadn't noticed it until after I took it shooting for the first time-- although I'm not saying that had anything to do with it. There is a much wider gap on the right side than on the...

I picked up my Rem 700 LTR .308 the other day. I ordered for it: Leupold Mark 4 3-9x PR MilDot Ken Farrell Steel Rings std Ken Farrell 2 pc steel 20moa mounts Harris swivel 6-9" bipod Quake claw sling Should this be a decent set-up? :)

I am on the verge of ordering my Rem 700 LTR .308. This is the first time I will be buying a rifle without any scope and accessories. I'm wondering what rings and mounts are good for this rifle. It's for mostly target shooting, but I will be doing some October hunting as well. The glass...

I saw an ad at GunsAmerica for a new stainless barreled LTR. Same 20" fluted barrel, but stainless, according to the description. Unfortunately, there was no photo. Has anyone else heard of this? Is SS an appropriate finish for a "sniper" type rifle?

Should I just melt it down and make nails?

I plan on purchasing a Rem 700 LTR .308 within the next 6 months (after I have the money saved up :rolleyes: ). I would like a really rugged piece of glass to sit on top of it. I was looking at the Burris Tactical line of scopes, because Burris has a pretty good reputation and they seem to be...

I read this the other day, and I was stunned. Even with all of the recent "let's ban kitchen knives and replica guns" BS that is coming out of that collapsed state, I found this story to be particularly revolting. [emphasis mine] Store's ban on shopper in 'filthy basket' dispute Six...

"Click it or ticket!" I get so enraged when I hear this that I could eat nails. :banghead:

This is sad and hilarious at the same time. From AOL News: School Mistakes Huge Burrito for a Weapon CLOVIS, N.M. (April 29) - A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over...
