Readers Digest version, A buddy's wife inherits several pistols from her father's collection, and wants to sell them but doesn't know how much they're worth. I figured "what better source of collective knowledge than THR to pester for help"! First up, a Gov't model 1911 in 9mm, that some...

Getting married in a month or so, and the wife-to-be says we should get a pair of pistols with whatever money we get as wedding gifts. What do you guys think would look good paired up? Anything we get becomes an instant heirloom piece, so we won't be getting rid of them. I'd also...

A lady I know just brought a couple of shotguns over to the house that were owned by her late father. One of these is an old Winchester 1897, the other a Marlin "Goose Gun" (it has a big arse 35" bbl!). As best I can tell, the Marlin is of 1970's vintage. My google-foo is too weak to come...

First off, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this question, so if it's not, Mods, feel free to move it. It's now summer here and the past week temps have averaged in the low 90's. It really sucks trying to conceal a pistol in these conditions, even the tiny little airwieght...

I won this piece at an NRA banquet Eons ago, and it just sits in the safe. The Receiver is marked 20 ga MAGNUM, for 3" shells. does that mean 2-3/4 isn't going to cycle well through this? I've had it jam before, buts its been easily 5 years since i've messed with it and I can't remember...

Since I can't decide which forum to stick this in, here goes. I've got one of those el cheapo chinese coach guns, the double bbl, double trigger/hammer jobs. The finish on the stock is utter crap, and I'm just gonna go tactical on it and paint it black. Whats the best way to make the...

Ok, I've had this wonderful weapon for a couple years, and shot it with no issues whatsoever. Today at the gunshow I got a wild hair and decided it needed new black furniture. my question is simple; How do I get the bloody spring back in the tube thinger in the buttstock?? I've got like 2...

anybody here going to be up in Port Clinton next weekend? I was wondering, because I have a lady friend that is interested in going up there and spectating during the pistol comps. She just joined the NRA, and found out about Camp Perry online, and wanted to go. I'm out of town next...

Suppose I was moving to Rixeyville, Virginia (VAH, for you homestar fans). Where would Y'all recommend I start looking for a place to go light off pistols and the occasional milsurp rifle? (milsurp along the lines of an Ishy Enfield) Any help here would be greatly appreciated. thanks in...

Heres the situation. I've got a friend, a lady I've known forever. She is one of the coolest women i know (sadly, 20 some years older than me with 5 kids, all but one grown.) This gal (we'll call her Linda, to protect the innocent), is of the independent, take no crap from anyone, and...

As the new AWB looms, I was thinking seriously about selling a bit of stock and investing in guns. Specifically the m1919 .30 cal brownings converted over to semi, and possibly a big .50, such as a barrett or LAR. Looking for input here, other ideas, whathave you. I've got between 5-10k...

A fellow member in my state has a Vulcan V50SS-200 .50 bmg. Anybody else here ever own one?? Just trying to see how they stack up to other makes/models in the same price bracket. thanks!

I don't have the slightest idea where to look this up, but a buddy of mine got nailed with the RICO act years ago, and being a felon, he can't have guns (duh). Would a crossbow be off limits to him as well? If anybody has an answer to this or a place i could look and find out myself...

Let me start by saying this thread has no real point, I just wanted to post what happened to me because i find it amusing. I was sitting in my sideyard talking to a gal on my cell and enjoying an early summer evening. Across the street, theres about 40 acres of soybeans. Enter mister...

Senator __________________ As of late, it seems Washington doesn’t seem to pay any attention to those little people outside of the beltway (read; constituents). This is unacceptable, and now is the time to prove you care about something other than getting re-elected. Immigration reform...
