    Tell me about the 35 Remington

    I just bought a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem. Haven't shot it yet but going to the range this weekend. Deer and hogs would probably be the only things I would hunt with it at short ranges. So, I've read about it online, but I want to hear from your experience. Likes/dislikes, etc. Thanks

    First they came...

    First they came for the Assault weapons, and I did not speak out— Because I didn't own one. Then they came for the high capacity magazines, and I did not speak out— Because I was a target shooter. Then they came for the semi autos , and I did not speak out— Because I was a hunter. Then they...

    S&w 3906

    I have been looking at the budsgunshop 5906 police trade ins, but they appear to be in pretty rough shape at $350, so I passed. Now, I found a 3906 locally that's in 80-90% shape for $325. I am looking for opinions on the gun from people who have owned one. I am not going to carry it. It's...

    Mental health check requirement to own guns???

    Not sure if this belongs in Legal, but I was watching the local news tonight, and they mentioned something I have never heard. The Little Rock police had met with some reps of the city to express their desires for future legislation. One of their desires was for clarity on how to return a...

    Free float vs. pressure bedded Rem 700s

    Anyone out there free float their 700s versus staying with the pressure point at the front of the stock? Background: I bought a Remington 78 a few weeks ago, and the accuracy isn't as good as I would like. Barrel is clean, scope is tight, so now I am thinking about taking some sandpaper to...

    Broke down and bought a Model 94 today

    Woke up, read the paper and then looked at the want ads. Saw a 94 at a decent price and waited til eight to call. Never really thought about buying one, but I shouldn't ever lose money on it if I ever sold it. I will post some pics when I get home.

    Would you buy this rifle?

    I am looking for a Remington 700 in 308 and found one in a local pawn shop, BUT... The barrel isn't original and is just stamped 308. It has a target crown and a flat black finish. The bolt doesn't look original either. The bolt knob isn't checkered like most 700s nor is it jeweled. The...

    Boyd's stocks?

    Wasn't there a thread on these not too long ago? I searched but can't find it. Anyone bought one lately? I just bought a mint Remington 78 but want to replace the birch stock. My debate is whether buy a used ADL stock or a new Boyd's stock.

    Marlin 336 vs Winchester 94

    I have never owned a lever action, but I am going to purchase a Marlin 336 just to have whenever a deal comes along. It seemed there is not much talk on the internet about the Winchester compared to the Marlin. Is this primarily due to the Winchester ejecting spent cases upwards?

    A story about mom and learning about guns

    Another thread about anti-gun families sparked me to ask my mom how she felt about guns. I always thought she was neutral on the issue even though she gave me my first "real" shotgun for Christmas when I was sixteen. Anyway, I stopped by her house today after work and during the conversation...

    Rem 870 Express Police trade in

    I found a police trade in for $360 at a pawn shop. No rust but the finish is well worn and the stocks are beat up. It comes with the slug barrel with scope rings and bases as well as a 28" vent rib bbl threaded for Remchokes. If the finish was better I would have bought. What do you think?

    I thought it was a pretty economical use of campaign funds. http://www.curtiscoleman.com/contest/M1 Apparently, he gave away an AR-15 last month.

    I found one at a great price, but I am more worried about performance. Anyone have any experience with them?

    Flooding the Washington mail rooms

    Anyone know how to pass along an idea to the NRA? I was thinking that perhaps the NRA could include a post card or better yet a preaddressed envelope with, yes, a form letter with space for a personalized note in one of their upcoming issues of all of their magazines. This letter would be...

    "When I Was A Kid..."

    Okay, I was reminiscing the other day about hunting spots of the past. Twenty years ago I was fifteen and did a lot of small game hunting and plinking just on the outskirts of town. Today, there is a Wal-Mart and Sam's Club sitting on the exact spot that used to be my go to spot for squirrel...

    Come over to the dark side: Join APS

    http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/ Not completely on topic, but a recent thread about forums (can't stand: fora--too hifallutin) allowing politics and gun talk made me think the mods will give me a pass. It is a little slow over there sometimes, but, if you join maybe you can speed it up...
