    Anyone ever gone to gunsmithing school solely to work on their own guns?

    Not for any commercial gunsmithing career? I put this here rather than gunsmithing, cuz it ain't really about gunsmithing per se, or any specific part/problem of a gun - seemed more of a general question.

    Another positive Kel-Tec Customer Service experience

    I have (had) KT P3AT serial number 00215. Was jamming occasionally even after fluff and buff. It was the original style slide and barrel. Returned it to KelTec. They sent out new version slide & bbl to me at NO CHARGE, with an extra guide rod & recoil spring set to boot. Fairly quick...

    Kinda funny

    I was looking for the Kel Tec Owners Group website, so naturally I typed www.ktog.com Not *exactly* a gun nut site.

    Shooting slugs in non-slug barrel

    This is not good, bad, or really bad? -- In a 1) Standard smoothbore of any choke (but not screw-ins) 2) Screw-in choke tube barrels (particularly bad to shoot slugs from these?). What can happen? I had thought this to be OK until my shotgunner friend pointed out otherwise. I had...

    Pump or semi-auto for 3-gun comp?

    I recently purchased a Rem 1100 in a defensive config (oversized charging handle, 18" bbl, improved choke, fiber optic front). But after shooting and handling it, I've just about come to the conclusion that my 870 would be better for home defense AND competition that I plan to get into...

    Burris Compact/Mini 3-9x32 PA

    It's stock number 200384. PA=parallax adjustable (AO). I'm a little disappointed with this Burris. I put it on my RWS model 350. The good: Short and light. I was able to put it on with low mounts. Low Leupold rimfires were just a scrunthair too low. Half to 3/4th of a millimeter taller...

    Optimal bbl length for spring piston airgun?

    I need to know when the pellet quits accelerating and begins decelerating in a "magnum" .177 cal spring piston airgun. Specifically, I need to know for my RWS Model 350. I ask because I know that .22lr hi-vel, for example, stops accelerating at around 12", maybe a little more, but definitely...

    Cheap fix for stock blemishes

    I have one stock in particular that's been completely refinished, but one place where a large gouge was, my smith used some kind of filler material - anyway, this filler didn't take the stain, and it's a much lighter color - about 1.5 centimeters across. Is there any kind of pen/stain/substance...

    Where to hide the safe key?

    Gunsafe key is hidden "close by", but it could be easily found if searched for by an intruder, within 5-10 minutes, maybe less. Do you keep the key in another room, on your standard keychain you carry with you, with the backup hidden well, or all keys hidden well, or what? Good advice on a...

    Registering at Bass Pro?

    I just did something a little strange (for me). After having received a wedding invitation for an old college friend of mine who is getting married (today), I went to Dillards and used the gift registry computer to pick a gift from those listed as wanted by the couple, order it, and have it...

    Rem 1100 - Questions

    I recently acquired a Rem 1100, 2.75". I am wondering if someone can help me with a couple of questions. 1. Regarding the auto-action: When I cycle rounds through manually, each time I pull the bolt back, it locks in the rear position, and one must push the release button on the underside...

    CZ RAMI or Springfield XD subcompact?

    Oh geez - thanks a lot, CZ - now that I'm somewhat educated on the upcoming RAMI pistol, I'm very intrigued. Let's compare these two, shall we? First off, if you want one in .40s&w, looks like the RAMI would arrive in that caliber first (but still no guarantees on either - neither is...

    Any use for 3.5" magnum shells?

    Any turkey, geese, etc. hunters here that actually feel the need and use 3.5" magnums, or is 3.0" plenty o' power for the largest tasty flying things at long range, with proper choke? Thanks.

    Some CZ questions

    1. Regarding these two models: the 75 IPSC, and 75 Champion: CZ's website describes the IPSC as follows: "The CZ 75 Standard IPSC and the CZ 75 Modified IPSC were build from the ground up for the IPSC competition. With the addition of the 10 round Limited class in USPSA, the CZ 75...

    Is .223 worth reloading STRICTLY on a cost-savings basis?

    Of course if you're looking for an accurate or performance load, it is, but yes or no, on cost basis only for general purpose shooting, reload .223 or buy it in bulk?

    .45-70 vs. .450 Marlin

    If you were going to get your first big-bore lever gun, which cartridge would you pick of these two and why? Thanks. I'm thinking .45-70 - just because no need to re-invent the wheel. But does .450 Marlin have anything on a hot .45-70, other than expensiveness of proprietary ammo? Just makin...

    What's a good general-purpose scope ring?

    I'd bought several Milletts, because they seem to be available at every single gun store around here, and they're good quality it seems, but they're less than satisfactory, because of the 2-screws per ring base thing they have going (nice if you NEED extra windage adjustment - nothing but a...
