    anyone here downsize their collection out of choice?

    I am down to 8 from about 40. None of them hold any sentimental value except one, a glenfield 60 that will go to my nephew or niece as it was their great grandmothers. I hope to cull two more and buy one, a 308 AR. Time is money and unused guns cost both. One high quality firearm is better...

    Where does pistol range stop and rifle range begin

    Well, if you want to hunt a 200 pound deer with a 9mm, go right ahead.

    which gun looks better

    Some people can't answer a simple question. Aesthetically, better without. I think if it was a relflex sight it would look better, but it just doesn't seem to square up right, maybe it is the look with the factory sights also. Usability, with.

    Where does pistol range stop and rifle range begin

    Guess I don't get the question. So if I am at the range and I have a handgun I cannot shoot the 500 yard gong, and if I have a rifle I can't shoot the can of tomato soup at 20 feet? Sounds like someone has to much time on there hands. Or are we talking serious and not fun? Since I plan on...

    best all around on a budget 22 rifle?

    It sounds like an ammo issue as remington makes the second worse rimfire ammo available, but it also could be that a few parts might be worn out. If you are having a fail to eject your extractor might be worn out. $12 for a new VQ or PC, or if you have a dremel with a metal cutting tool you can...

    Shooting just for fun?

    I plink with a new tactical 22. Those eggs and golf balls don't stand a chance. People who are really into cowboy style shooting grew up watching westerns. They don't make westerns anymore. They make tactical, sniper and similar style movies (and games). Guess what we emulate? Plinking is...

    10/22 Quality

    That is a gun shop error, not a gun error. It's aluminum, don't cinch it down or it will strip as you found out. A couple of HOURS tapping? You should be able to retap those holes to 8/32 in under two minutes. Plus, if you go to 8/32 it will be a stronger hold than the 6/48. Operator error...

    The importance of the crown on a rifle?

    A trick that might help, as the crown looks rough but even, is to polish it. Get some bore paste, about 10 bucks for a small container, it lasts a long time, get a BRASS screw that fits nicely into the crown. Chuck the screw into a hi speed screw gun, coat the screw with bore paste and be...

    Gun Grammar

    Maybe not every, but a large amount. Marlin and Savage are two that come to mind. Proving my point on anal retentiveness ;) Standard or proper English is actually the Queens English. We speak American English, which is a large part of multiple other languages and a TON of slang. We don't really...

    Gun Grammar

    the word "clip" is used in place of magazine for various reasons. Mostly, because people just don't care, everyone knows what they mean. Another reason is that is all they have ever called it, ever listen to a WW2 vet, no matter what they have, it has a clip. Every gun maker calls it a magazine...

    Anyone else keep their guns?

    I have never purchased a gun with the intent of not keeping it forever. But I have probably sold close to 50 guns. If they don't fit, get rid of it. If it is inaccurate and it costs to much to make accurate, get rid of it. If I buy it as a project but it sits under my bed for 3 years...

    Not safe after 10pm

    Never worked in customer service I see. Customers are just as dumb as the people behind the counter, the difference is that the clerk can refuse service to anyone and doesn't care if you don't buy anything. So all you had to do was get the rest of the stuff you needed then head back to the gun...

    Dad was (is) right all along...

    I like them all. And a horrible trigger can really make you dislike a gun. But it is a 10/22 and they are very well known to have a heavy trigger. But it is a 10/22 and for $30 you can buy a hammer and install it in less than ten minutes if you take a nap in the middle. So get out and fix it...

    Springfield XD 45 Magazine issue

    Mine did the same, checked around and found out is was typical. It will loosen up, mine did, and you won't even notice it. One day you will just look at it and go, "hmm, not as tight as it used to be".

    Question about recoil

    This may sound like crazy talk, but a 410 might just be the ticket for you. Light recoil and there are some nice HD rounds available. Plus, mossberg makes a nice prebuilt HD in 410. The only downside is ammo is a bit pricey...

    Convince me on a ccw

    I do not know what Texas has for rules and benefits. But I took the UT class specifically for the class, it is a well known and very good local class on laws and much more. But the benefit of a Washington state permit, other than having the permit, is that there is not a waiting period for a...

    Looking for opinions on the Mossy 930...

    To a Beretta or Benelli owner they are junk, but to everyone (98%) of people who own them they are very reliable, accurate, tough shooters. I made that percentage up because I very rarely read about anyone not liking the 930, and the ones that don't like it say it is total crap and that you...

    Anyone use only just pump shotguns?

    Prefer autos myself but I never turn down a pump. After all, how will I make the bad guys wet themselves if I don't rack a pump?
