I am leaving to live abroad for two years, and need ideas on how to best store my firearms. I have a mix of synthetic and wood firearms and all have blued finishes. I already have dessicant packs in the safe, and a family member has agreed to refresh them every month. What oils should I coat the...

Guys, I have shot approximately 13 deer this season, and only been able to find one of them. I have been using 140grain Silver Bear .308 ammo as seen here. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/AMM690-5.html Silver Bear is supposed to be "soft point" (a la Core-Lokt or Powerpoint or etc.), but it...

Does using a boresighter with arbors basically require you to damage your crown and rifling? I don't see how you could use one without doing so. Even if you're super careful, a single slip seems disasterous (especially since all of the arbors I've seen are steel!). :what:

I know many of you reccomend Johnson's Paste Wax as a release agent for glass bedding. How do you get it off when you're finished? Is there some chemical/liquid that will remove it more easily than simply scrubbing the action with hot soapy water?

Guys, I tried to sight in a new .308 rifle tonight. I had an IOR 20moa base, Badger rings, and a Bushnell Elite 4200 4-12x40AO. I completely ran out of elevation adjustment, and my rifle still shot approximately five feet low at 100 yards. Is the base hurting me? I have it installed like the...

I would like your advice on the following issue. My roommate and her boyfriend were robbed this morning. The story is: They went into school today around 9am for the teacher workday at my roommate's elementary school. Due to inclement weather (lots of snow for the South), many teachers had...

Does US Customs prohibit Americans from shipping AR-15 uppers to friends overseas (where those uppers are legal yet overpriced)? Again, this is the upper (not serial numbered).

How does a T/C Encore's out-of-the-box accuracy compare to your typical megastore bolt action (Remington 700 ADL, Weatherby Vanguard, Savage 110, etc.)? Would the Encore be more accurate than most of these guns? How does an Encore's accuracy compare to a rifle dedicated to accuracy (heavy...

I'm considering purchasing a T/C Encore. I understand that each barrel you affix to it can take a different scope (one scope per barrel instead of one scope per receiver). What would be the ballpark POI shift when I remove a scoped barrel and then reattach it later? Would it be acceptably...

I realized yesterday that I have "severely misplaced" the keys to the trigger locks on two of my shotguns. :eek: These are the "trigger block" type identical to those below. What would be the best way to get these off of my guns? Should I call Remington for replacement keys? Should I attempt...

I am going to buy a .30 rifle can in the near future. I need my 22" .308 rifle barrel threaded (NEF Handi Rifle). Should I chop the barrel to 20", 18", or leave it as it is now at 22"? I would like the rifle to be more handy (treestand), as I plan to leave the can on it 100% of the time (thus...

Does anyone know the overall length of a Leupold 4x28mm rimfire scope?

Could someone explain the basics of the Thompson Encore? From what I understand, Pistol frame: shoulder stocks are illegal, any barrel length is okay Rifle frame: shoulder stocks okay, no barrels under 16 inches SBR: you must pay the tax on either a pistol frame or a rifle frame in order...

What do all of you think about the practicality of carrying concealed while dating? In the early stages of a relationship (where every move is critical), if your date brushes up against you and feels a hunk of steel and then asks about it, what do you say? If you're in a primarily liberal town...

If someone wanted to bury a firearm for 10+ years, what would be the best way to preserve it from rust? Dunk it in Cosmoline? Do more effective rust-preventatives exist?

A search didn't turn up anything regarding the muzzle-mounted silencer for the shotgun in No Country for Old Men. Does Hollywood really think we'll believe a 2" by 6" muzzle can (basically .22 rimfire specs) will quiet down a 12 gauge? Based on the diameter of the outer end of the can, it...

I've heard that some people use car wax to give their outdoor guns a rainproof (resistant) finish while hunting. I'm tempted to try this, but am concerned that if I had to fire a number of shots in succession (checking the zero, etc.). that the barrel heat could melt the wax and leave me with a...

I'm considering buying some Peltor 7s electronic muffs for deer hunting. http://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/product/Peltor-Tactical-7S-Classic-Headset.html Would these be too bulky for me to use them with a rifle?

Is the Savage 10ML muzzleloader a 4473 firearm because it shoots smokeless powder?

Hello, I have a muzzleloader that I believe may be already loaded. However, when I look down the bore as best I can with a flashlight, I can see nothing. When I load a percussion cap, it does not fire. Would it be possible for me to load it up with a little bit of powder (and no sabot)...
