From what I can gather, the Turner NM can be had in longer lengths, the holes are numbered, option of biothane or leather, and the keepers are "heavy duty." Am I right? I have a CMP M1 coming to me in a few days, would like to get it something appropriate. I don't know how much "serious"...

Need some advice, and I know everyone on THR likes suggesting guns. :) Long story short, my dad is recently retired and is calling me to get out to the range with him more often (which has me ellated). Previously only acquainted with long guns, he became quite enamoured with my model 19-3...

Decided to help my dad clean his guns this Sunday. He has a few rifles that he has kept zipped up in a case under his bed for many years. Now that he's retired, he wants to take them out and shoot them again. The gun in question is a Remington 600 in .35 Remington. The metal was very well...

I refinished my Mosin stock last year. I stripped it bare, lightly sanded it smooth, and stained it. So far so good. When it came to the finish, I decided to try a paste furniture wax. This was my first serious wood working project (and you can laugh at this all you want), and I know how to...

The booklet included with my VX-II instructed me to focus the reticle after mounting. I'm supposed to point it at a light background (I'm using the sky) and rotate the eyepiece until it is claer. Am I missing something, because to me, the reticle is always sharp no matter how much and in...

I think I'd take it out more if she looked a lot nicer. :) I have a run-of-the-mill round receiver 91/30, so I figure no biggie if I mess up, eh? But I need serious help. I mean when it comes to wood working, I'm just plain stupid. I don't get the concepts of wood stain, sealant...

Picked up a new toy last Friday, a used KP95PR from the local pawn. It came with the previous owner's nylon shoulder holster. I saw these tiny spots when I was looking the gun over and I thought I could scrub them out with some CLP and a brass brush, but that didn't work. I hope they show...

Went to the ol' gun show yesterday, walked away with this P220. My first SIG, my first centerfire auto. Figured I would go all the way. :) A sticker on the case says 28th of June - I don't know if that is the assembly date or a shipping code or what, but it is clearly a very recent...

I'm hoping to get educated about this aspect of bolt actions. I've read my Ruger M77 has a controlled feed mechanism but I can't find any more solid explanation as to what that means, or how it compares to a push feed. Maybe folks have pictures, history, etc? TIA.

All I do is target shoot with .22s. I live in the city, don't hunt at all, but enjoy heading to the range to relax and challenge myself ("serious plinking" I call it). .22 rifles and pistols seem to be the most economical way to do this. But at the job I work, I have a few co-workers with...

Got the gun refinished, looking for some nice grips. Now I need some nice transportation to match. Got a plain plastic box w/foam, nothing fancy. But I'm not feeling it. I've got another case, one of the nice hinged ones made to look like aluminum or something, but the interior foam...

I am not sure S&W sent me the same gun. I picked up this 1976 model 19-3 three or four years ago to learn to shoot both a revolver and centerfire (having outgrown my Mark II). I didn't know enough about revolvers at the time (had not discovered THR yet :)) to check it out properly. I might...

I sent my Model 19-3 off to them about a month ago. The old girl had seen some serious use and ended up needing the majority of the internals replaced. The finish was nice but far from pretty, and since it's shooter and not a collector's piece I told them to refinish it while it was up there...

Picked up a 795SS last week, took it out today and it shot like a laser. So things are good. :) Got it home tonight and took it down according to the instruction manual, no problems. Reassembled it, no problems. Did a function check, no problems...I think. Maybe I never noticed it...

...that cleans lead off cylinder faces? I thought I heard "Lead Away" cloths but that turns up nothing from a search on Midway. Is that the name brand or is it something else? The only local shop that might have it are total dirtbags, so I might need to order it. 300 or so rounds of .22...

So I've been dying for a .22 revolver for the better part of a year. Awhile back I picked up a 39A and decided a Single Six would be the perfect companion. So I've been keeping my eyes open and asking questions. Today, took a trip with co-workers to the local gun shop on our lunch break...

All the forum buzz and press I can find seems to be about the 30-30. But supposedly Mossberg was going to come out with a 464 lever in .22LR this past fall. Can't find any reviews and haven't seen them in stores. Are they out there? Anyone seen one? Shot one? Own one? I'm interested...

I know this is super vague, but for some reason I've been really wanting to read this thing again, so here goes... There was except from it in one of my grade school textbooks (sign of the times!). This was the late 80's. If it was in a school textbook I can only assume it was/is a classic...

.22 cartridge carrier/tube-mag speed loader. http://www.marblearms.com/catch22.html Just recently acquired a 39A, my first tube magazine rifle. Anyone have one of these Catch .22s? Would be interested in a review if someone has first-hand experience with one...

Am I doing this right? Having a heck of a time finding a diagram online to make sure I've got it correct.
