    16ga Questions

    I just recently picked up a Winchester 97 in 16ga and I wasn't thinking about it at the time (The 16ga was in a lot better shape then the 12ga they had) but wasn't there a change in 16ga lengths? So is there any easy way I can measure the chamber without taking it to a smith? Serial number range...

    Certain shotguns

    Now I know I'm not articulate as some of the members we have on the board. It's a skill I've always envied so I'll try and get the across what I'm thinking as best as I can. There's just something about certain types of shotguns that attract you to them. It may be the looks, the time period...

    Withdrawl

    I know it's been awhile and some may be wondering where I've been. Just wanted to let you know that Girlwithagun and I are doing good. A new son, a little bit more work, and preparing to move to PA have kept us all a little busy. Since we're getting ready to move pretty much all but a few...

    Charles Daly Superior Hunter O/U

    Does anyone know anything about the Charles Daly Superior Hunter O/U line? Local shop had 3 ( 1 12 and 2 20s) all for $975 each, shop owner said it was the last of the italian made CDs he'd be getting since they were switching to a turkish made gun. Are these a good quality and worth the price...

    Tikka Price Check

    I've been looking at a Tikka in a local shop and was wondering how decent the price was. It's a wood stocked heavy barrel .308 (can't remember exactly what model) with a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x on it. They want $750 for it, is this decent?

    Winchester 67A, For the children!

    Well I was back in PA to visit family and I just "happened" to end up at one of the local gun shops. I've been looking for a little .22 for my boys so I was looking at the Cricketts the shop had. I asked the shop keeper if he had any other youth .22s and out comes a junior sized Winchester 67A...

    How I lost my 28

    Well it was a beautiful fall weekend the leaves were just about at their peak color change and GirlWithAGun and I were back home to visit family. So of course it was time for some informal trap on the family farmland with my Dad and the boys. I had with me my somewhat talked about 28ga...

    A Pair of .357s (with a .22 thrown in)

    Well it's been awhile since I had picked these up but I hadn't mentioned anything about them. Bought them both around the same time with the help of the wife. The first is a S&W 66-3 with either a 2" or 2 1/2" barrel depending on how you measure. Lock up is decent but not super tight. Fires...

    Springfield 1903 Safety Conversion

    So I'm looking at a Springfield 1903 that has been rebarreled in .243 as a varmint rifle. The one thing I've noticed with it is that since it's basically a mauser copy that the safety can't be engaged with a scope mounted. Are there any safety conversions that you'd recommend? I've found one so...

    Thompson Contender Price Check

    Ok I was in one of the local shops tonight and they had a Thompson Contender (no clue which version it is) with a .357 magnum barrel for $225. They also had an extra .22lr barrel for $100. Are these normal prices? I've always been interested in the platform I just haven't seen to many around to...

    Garand Mistake

    So I made a couple of mistakes with my Garand these past couple weeks. First I shot what I thought was non-corrosive ammo through it when it was actually corrosive. Second I put off cleaning it for two weeks because I was busy and thought I could let it sit. Well now that I got to it, it was...

    Replacement Part Creation

    So I ran across this website http://www.emachineshop.com/ today and it got me thinking. In the back of my mind I've always wanted to replace the plastic magazine well thing on my Marlin Camp 45 and put in a 1911 style magazine release. So what kind of metal would I be looking to use if I wanted...

    Weatherby Vanguard Price Check

    I was at the local store looking at a Weatherby Vanguard in .270, real nice looking gun with a wood stock and a Nikon 3.5-10x scope. I think they wanted around $6-700, is that about right or is that overpriced? Sorry too for the lack of details.

    686 Silver Pigeon take it in to the field or not?

    Back awhile when I went home to PA last, I was showing my Dad the 28ga Beretta Silver Pigeon I had just got. I had mentioned how it should be good for grouse. He seemed really surprised that I would even think about taking the gun in to the woods. So what do you guys think? Should I take a 686...

    Man am I rusty!

    So I was out escaping a visit from the in-laws at PGC today. When there I am half-way through my first round with the 28ga when I realized I should have gone out shooting more then I have. I didn't get back in a groove with the 28ga until I was on my last box. I then switched off to my 20ga I...

    P22 Suppressor Question

    Ok I've been thinking about getting a suppressor for my Walther P22. The one thing that is bugging me is that all of the thread adapters I've seen have been shown on the 3.4" barrel and not the 5" barrel that I have. Does anyone know if any of the current adapters will work with the 5" model or...

    Colt Detective Special Price Check

    So it was a great day out and I needed to run my MGB after it having sat all winter. So taking this as a good excuse to take a break from work and get out of the house I drove it over to the local gun shop. The only thing that really caught my attention was a reblued Colt Detective Special, with...

    Winchester 97 Price Check

    So for some reason I decided to stop in at a pawn shop that I don't go to very often over my lunch break today. They had a 12 gauge Winchester 97 with probably a 20" barrel that was marked full choke. The wood was so-so and the metal looked like it had been reblued. I've kinda wanted one of...
