Finally got her back from the gunsmith today. Had my EMF/Hartford (Rossi) .357 levergun (16" bbl) fitted with a Burris 2.75 Scout scope. Gunsmith had to drill and tap to put the base on, and also had to do some machining work, and it ended up costing a bit more than I had planned, but I'm very...

Found one used in a local shop for a decent price. Going back tomorrow to buy it -- again. Used to have one, but a while ago I got the 1911 bug. Traded it in on a Dan Wesson PM7. Kicked myself later for trading it. (Don't get me wrong - the DW is awesome!) But to me, the P90 is the ultimate...

Anybody have any info or experience with him as a gunsmith? I was told there are only a couple of smiths still here. I have a little Phoenix Arms .22 pistol with a broken trigger. I also want to get a scout scope rail installed on my Rossi .357 levergun. Thanks for any info.

I did a search on this, and most all of what came up was acceptable defense against bears, for both types of gun. Have been thinking about picking up a 45-70 guide gun as a defensive woods gun. I also really like the looks of the coach gun. This is something I would take camping and throw in...

Any real, practical difference in performance between these barrel lengths? I have the 4" model in ss, and take it with me hiking and camping. I'm in southern California - no grizzlies or brownies to worry about. I find the size of the 4" is perfect for packing around, but I like the looks of...

This was in this morning's LA Times. I thought the panic was subsiding, but this article seems to stir the pot: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-fi-ammo30-2009aug30,0,2804453,full.story Fear of gun limits fuels a burst of demand for bullets Since President Obama's...

Hello, all - I'm in the process of moving to San Diego. Anyone know off the top of their heads how long I need to be a resident before I can get a resident hunting license? Thanks

Gun safety lesson turns deadly for man in Sierra Vista Arizona Daily Star Tucson, Arizona | Published: 05.17.2009 A 26-year-old Phoenix man accidentally killed himself early Sunday morning while explaining gun safety to two Sierra Vista residents. Samuel Benally Jr. was at an apartment on...

We've all done it - brought out your favorite handgun just to admire it. What do you like best? Do you like the way the grips feel in your hand? If it's a semi-auto, is it the tightness of the slide? If it's a revolver, is it the way the cylinder spins? Is it the smell of the gun - the...

Found a nice old Marlin levergun in .30-.30 a few days ago at my local gunshop. It's on hold for me, and I plan to pick it up tomorrow. It looks like a gun that has been handed down from father to son before - it looks old and rugged, but in that classic sort of way. I'm just getting into...

Just picked up a Rossi 357/38 lever action carbine. The manual says that full metal jacket and round nose ammo should not be used, because, due to recoil, it could set off the primer in the other bullets in the tube. Only flat-topped, lead ammo is recommended. A guy at the gun shop said round...

Sorry if this has been discussed before - I did a search and didn't find anything post-Heller. I'm moving into California from Arizona (yeah, yeah, I know - :banghead:) CA considers me to be a "personal handgun importer" and requires me to fill out a "new resident handgun ownership report" and...

Moving to San Diego in 6 months from AZ - can't bring any kind of assault rifle with me (CA won't even allow my little Hi-Point 995!) Went to my local gun shop today and looked at a few different lever guns. The ones I liked were all Marlin 1894's - one was a 44 mag/44 spcl; one was a 357/38...

I'm a fan of getting one quality gun in different calibers, rather than collecting multiples of the same caliber. I'd like to get a 44 Mag, with at least a 5 1/2" barrel. I've always been a Ruger fan, and currently own a Ruger p89 in 9mm and a GP100 (4" .357). I recently sold my P90 in .45 to...

Hey all, I had posted about finally wanting to go hunting on another thread ("my eyes have been opened - I want to go hunting") - I was not the OP of that thread, btw. Anyway, I am leaving tomorrow morning for bear hunting in the Chiricahua mountains in southeastern Arizona. I've camped...

Hello, I recently purchased a Dan Wesson Pointman Seven .45 cal. 1911 model. Not thrilled with the stock sights, I ordered a Dawson Precision Fiber Optic front sight (to go with the stock Bomar adjustible rear sight). It came in the mail today, and I have to say, I'm not impressed. It is...

I came across a fun website that lets you make up your own warning labels (www.warninglabelgenerator.com) in JPEG format. Here is the one I made:

I just picked up my first hunting rifle - it's an old Foremost Firearms 7mm mag. model 6600. Got it for two reasons: the price (it was $50-$100 cheaper than other used rifles such as .30-06 and .270 Win); and because I liked the way it felt in my hands better than the others. Well, and one more...
