Howdy all, I'm looking to buy a .22 pistol to work on my fundamentals, and have narrowed the field to the Ruger Mk 3, Browning Buckmark, and S&W 22A. Of these choices, which pistol would you recommend, and why? So far, I'm leaning towards the S&W 22A, as I already have a Ruger MK1, and the...

Hi all, So I'm planning on buying my brother a rifle for the holidays (it'll stay with me as he's stuck in NY for school for the time being)... I'm torn between getting him an SKS variant and some sort of Mauser. I have both myself, and like each for different reasons- so much so that I'm...

Hi All, I've recently started working in Massachusetts and am seriously considering obtaining dual residency (original residence is in Maine)- I own firearms but never really considered keeping them in MA an option, given the reputation of the state for draconian guns laws and the fact that...

Hey all, I just recently picked up a sporterized Spanish Mauser (model 1893) in 7.5x57mm Mauser, and I was wondering if anyone out there had some advice on how to get the most out of it. It's not in the best of shape (bluing isn't great, the scope it came with is a cheap chinese red-dot), but...

Well, not break, exactly, but damage a bit... I was trying to get a friend into shooting centerfire a few weeks ago (she "only like shotguns, dammit!"), and was putting her through the standard paces shooting plates with wolf FMJ at about 40 yards using another friends Norinco SKS "paratrooper"...

Hi all, I’ve run into a snag with the new Yugoslavian SKS I just bought, and I was hoping you guys might be able to help me diagnose the problem. The rifle intermittently fails to fire after being stored for any length of time (even a few hours), but always works after the first time it...

Howdy all, I've heard through the grapevine that the 10/22 can be converted to 17HMR by just dropping in a few parts... is there any truth to this, and if so how does it shoot? I'd really like to shoot 17HMR, but would rather not have to spend $260 to get the .22 Magnum. Thanks, IWG

Hi all – I was hoping you guys could give me some help choosing my first center fire rifle… I’ve decided to go the 7.62x39mm route, but I’m torn between getting a mid-quality SKS or a low-end AK derivative (i.e. WASR) since they’re about the same price-wise in my neck of the woods (ME)...
