Lately when I use my Remington 40X Bore Cleaner it starts to come out yellow like it should (i think.) but then a brown gunk that seems to be mixed with the yellow liquid comes out. I have never used the solvent before so I don't know if maybe this is part of the concoction and I should just...

I am considering buying a used Savage 10FCM, the scout rifle model. It's an old model without the accutrigger or the accustock. Only problem is I really don't like plastic stocks. anyone know if there are any aftermarket wood stocks that would fit this rifle? It has a detachable magazine, I...

I've been thinking about the idea of a .223 rifle as a survival weapon/tool. for the round to be useful in that purpose it would have to be able to take down small game like squirrels/small birds/rabbits without destroying the meat. With that in mind, does anyone have any data on loading the...

I've been in the market for a target/deer hunting rifle, and yesterday I went around all the local gun shops to see what was being offered. The main gun that caught my eye was the Ruger M77 Hawkeye in .308 with a walnut stock. it comes with integral scope rings and the guy said he would mount...

I have a problem. I bought some pachmayr snap caps for my mossberg 500. I put them in the magazine tube and now they wont load when I rack the slide. Is there any way I can get these things out of the magazine tube?

Hi all, I've been searching around for the best deal on .308 ammo, and I found ammunitiontogo to have the best prices. However, they have 3 types of ammo for pretty close to the same price in the 200 round packs: Prvi Partizan 145gr, Winchester 147gr, and Fiocchi 150gr, all for .75-.80 a...

Hi all, I am about to begin reloading and had a few questions, I'm going to number them to make everything simple and easy to keep track of. I recently bought a Hornady Single Stage press kit and a pair of cheap FA electronic calipers. I plan on getting a FA reloading stand and a Lee 3-piece...

Hi all, so I have never been hunting before but really want to take up deer hunting. I figure it will be best to buy a muzzleloader so I can hunt in the early-season where deer are most plentiful. I also like the idea of having one of these guns to expand my collection as well as my knowledge...

I've noticed that shotgun chamber pressures only hit about 15,000, while most handguns are over 30,000 and most rifles are over 50,000. Why exactly does the shotgun require so little pressure, when it gives off so much recoil (as much as a .300 Mag according to charts) and has so much energy...

I was comparing handguns and looking at the XD which everyone seems to highly recommend. However, in comparing it to other pistols in the market I noticed that the XD weighs siginificantly more than the Glock and only slightly less than competing metal-frame pistols. For example, a Glock 19...

I have an old 870 X-series (pre-1976) and it has some kind of mechanism in the magazine tube to limit the capacity to two rounds. I was wondering if there is some way of removing it? heres a picture, its like a green plastic tube or something: On a side note, could someone link me to a...

I want a new 12 ga shotgun primarily for the purpose of shooting skeet and trap, and I came across this: http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=104247647 For those of you viewing this after the link expires, its a mossberg 500 with a 28" vent rib barrel and an 18.5" cylinder bore...

I have a sudden need for a shotgun that is both semi-auto and pump (like the Benelli M3/M4 series) but I dont know of any besides the Benelli's and they run at least 1500 which is out of my price range right now. So anyone know of another brand of dual semi/pump action shotguns, or somewhere...

Hi guys, I bought an old (1976, X-series) 870 20 gauge but it has a bead sight on its 28" barrel which I've been told is no good for hitting clays. Do you think the bead sight is sufficient? I'm not all that serious about it so it just has to work decently, not perfectly. If not, where can I...

Since .380, 9mm auto, and .357 sig all use the same 9mm bullets (correct me if I'm wrong) do they all use the same barrels, except for twist rates? If they do, anyone know the standard twist rate for each of these calibers?

Does anyone know what would happen if I put a 10mm or .357 Sig Mech Tech upper on a Glock 17 lower? I know it would feed right, but would it create massively increased wear compared to a 9mm Mech Tech upper? Also anyone know if a Mech Tech 1911 upper would fit a Rock Island Armory .45...

What forms do I need to fill out in order to legally build a firearm that is NOT an NFA weapon? I was looking at ATF form one and saw that the definitions for "firearm" basically meant NFA weapons, so I am confused as to whether or not I need any kind of license to build firearms in general...

So I bought a FAL (imbel?) parts kit that has been in storage for probably quite a few decades, everything but the receiver. Everything but the bayonet is covered with some kind of storage fluid, and I'm not sure how to get it off. I would just spray it with WD-40 but I've heard it...

I intend to buy a Saiga 12 some time soon. Mostly just for fun and to have a good SHTF weapon. Thing is I'd also like to be able to hit clays and do skeet/trap shooting with it, do you guys think this will be a problem? It seems like the sights on it are very poor. Do you know if chokes...

Hi there, first time posting at this site and I'm hoping you guys can help me decide on what to buy for my first rifle. I started by doing some research and decided i wanted a non-autoloader chambered in 22LR to develop good marksmanship and for cheap shooting. I read around and it seems like...
