I have a nice little budget AR carbine. The older SW Sport...no dust cover etc. I'd like to put a new upper on it with a dust cover and either a mid or rifle length gas tube and maybe an 18 inch bbl. Can if get one of the captive, one piece buffer assemblies that will fit in the carbine but...

Have they fixed all that mess from a few years ago? Canted barrels and all that? I've seen a nice one in .357 which is exactly what I want. I am wondering if they got over their production hurdles here in 2018 and if they are worth getting again?

I have a couple of very nice old Walthers. A West German PPK/S .380 and a Pre-War (Zella-Mehlis) PP in .32. I went out and got new Wolff recoil springs and since, I've had some fairly regular failures to feed all the way with full mags. The rounds are on their way in but they've hung up...

I am looking to upgrade my carbine length S&W Sport (the old ones lacking FA and dust cover) by adding a lightweight, mid-length upper. Palmetto has a nice pencil barrel flat top one. I want things light. Will I need to make changes in the buffer tube? Spring maybe?

Indiana, a VERY gun and gun-owner friendly state, is considering Constitutional Carry. I believe we are doing it because we think it's the right thing to do and we also don't have a great deal of money to spend on the license program. My question is this: If we get Constitutional and no...

I was gratified to see that my grandson goes to a school (preK-6 or maybe 8) that has an armed guard working the door. The man is a regular member of the city PD who rotates.

I've wanted one of these since I was a kid. They're around right now but I've never shot one. Are they a good 22lr auto choice? Or have newer models eclipsed it?

I should think that a scope designed for a .22 would work well on a .357 bolt action carbine. Recoil is still pretty mild on the 357 carbine. The ranges will be similar. Or am I thinking wrong here?

I have two old G17s, a gen1 and a gen2. I want to retrofit the new extractor with the loaded chamber indicator. Will the new ones fit those old guns? I look at the various sites and none really specify generations.

I love a fine glossy rifle as much as anybody. But the rifles that really fire my imagination are the much loved, much used, rifles that show everything from "character" to rough service, to "just shy of abuse". That great old Winchester with 10% of the bluing left that's still driving tacks...

I've started either seeing or noticing Krag Jorgensen rifles at gun shows. Nice ones that have been moderately sporterized. No fancy stocks, seldom scopes. Saw one recently that was the original wood cut down rather well and the stock changed with the classic red rubber recoil pad. Looked...

I have an M&P15 Sport. GI style front sight and a folding Magpul rear. Nice enough but it's plastic. For me, this in not the Back Up Iron, it's my sight. Purchased the GI Matech steel sight. Elevation adjustable from 200 to 600 yards/meters. I have a torque driver that I can set. Is...

Are folks liking the Pico? I am shopping for a gun in that class. LCP and Bodyguard and very nice but the triggers are disappointing to me. The LCP is not a true DOA in that the trigger has to reset with the slide. The Pico and the Bodyguard have "second strike" capability. What I hear...

Any recommendations? I know, it makes it "obvious" I am carrying right? Well here's the thing: I wear one of these often anyway. Have for years. My father wore a photojournalist vest pretty much every day of his life that he wasn't wearing a suit and tie. So nobody around me will even...

The Ruger LCP has, as far as I know, a reputation for reliability and for digesting all the ammo folks feed it. Presumably mileage varies. What are you all seeing regarding the same qualities in the S&W Bodyguard .380?

I have a line on a Walther PP. 7.65. The fellow didn't know if this was a German or West German PP. Obviously if it were "German" one would want a pre-war one. Says he looked in the "Blue Book". Not sure how he did that without knowing pre-war German vs. Post War West German. Regardless...

A friend says he's "cleaning out my safe queens" in order to buy a high end AR-15. To me he's offered several things. One is a West German Walther PP in 7.65 Browning (.32 ACP). Very nice gun. I am always looking for a Colt 1903 and have some feelers out in that regard (older gentleman now...

How is the height of a front sight measured? I have a Ruger 77/357 with the tiny little brass bead. The sight is set in a 3/8" dovetail that's 8.3 mm wide. Brownell's has a wide variety of red fiber optic front sights that would fit this dovetail which I assume is fairly standard. However...

Watched a film by Werner Herzog. Great film maker. Made that thing "Grizzly Man" where the guy was so friendly with the Grizzly bears in Alaska that they ate him. The one I just saw was "Happy People". Kind of "Life Below Zero" meets "Mountain Men" with none of the hokey drama...and it's...

So this friend of mine knows I buy guns from time to time. Get this, this fellow inherited a safe from his FIL but didn't inherit the combination! He knew there were a bunch of guns in it but he never opened it since the old gentleman passed away. I've been bugging the guy to get a locksmith...
