Is it ok to paint over camoed synthetic furniture with spraypaint? Is any special paint needed? Say, maybe Krylon Fusion plastic paint? Are there any special preparation steps I need to take other than getting it completely clean/masked?

Given the magazine tube ring and chamber length are correct, will a barrel meant for a FN shotgun fit onto a Winchester 1300 or 1200? I know the 1200 and 1300 barrels are interchangeable, so no question there. I hear people say that FN shotguns are essentially just Winchesters with a...

For standard 3" shells, how big of a mag can you use for any given length of barrel without it protruding past the end of the barrel more than an inch? 12" :: 4+1 14" :: 4+1 18.5" :: 6/7+1 20" :: 8+1 22" :: 8/9+1 Does this look correct?

More specifically, the full-sized 9mm version.

I walked in to check out a DPMS Panther and Im now considering a top shelf Match-grade AR. A CTR-02 in .223 with one piece scope mounts and an adjustable stock. The shop is asking $3000+Tax. Im sure it is a superb shooting rifle, but one thing that I would like to clarify is that one...

How would these work as a less lethal SD round in place of say, rubber shot or rocksalt? The BB's are 6mm, roughly the same size as a #4 buck pellet. Ranging from 1.4-6.6 grains each, compared to about 20 grains for lead #4 buck. The 8mm variety(close in size to 0 buck) can range from 5-9...

I know it's a bit of an oxymoron, but bear with me. I've decided to go with an AR-10. It will be used for small game hunting, sport shooting, and maybe as a battle rifle if SHTF. This grade of rifle does deserve a nice optic, but I don't really want a highly magnified optic. I've opted to...

Considering one of these..Possibly the one with the 18" Bull Barrel. How is the accuracy and reliability of this rifle? I've heard some negative things about the reliability of .308 AR's.

Not sure why this rifle gets so much flak. It's not a precision rifle by any means, but it is lightweight, rugged, fairly cheap, and accuracy is about on par with your average AK. Hell, I might even go as far as to call it the American take on the AK. Never had any reliability problems with...

By illegal guns, I mean guns owned by felony offenders and the likes not permitted to buy guns. Your local Meth Dealer, or Gangbanger Junior High kids for example. How is the underground market for guns sustained? I've read news stories about people breaking into pawnshops and even police...

Are 1200 and 1300 barrels interchangeable on 1200 and 1300 receivers? Given chamber length and gauge is adequate, of course.

Here is a random idea I got a while ago. What if, when doing your reloads, you were to put in a thin highly-magnetic slug, or magnetic balls? The theory behind this, is that you would have tighter groups and increased range, as the magnetic balls would hold the shot together for much longer...

A couple things that have been on my mind that I would like to discuss with you all.. ------- Regarding "the pump action racking = instant fecal jettison" statement: Now. Lets step back and think about this. All this is going to do is bring your presence to attention. What if instead a...

Where did this regulation originate from? What was the rationale behind it? In your opinion, is it really necessary? Questions..Questions..

Decided I needed a new shotgun. It's a 1300 Ranger, almost perfect condition, give a little bit of wear on the slide. 22" barrel with rifle sights on it. The inscription on the barrel reads "Deer Slug", though it is a smoothbore. Never owned a shotgun with rifle sights, so I'll see how I like...

Im doing some shotgun shopping. I've heard mixed reviews on the Mossberg brand, and Im wondering if there would be any critical/common problems to look out for when examining a used one. Wisdom is much appreciated. :D

In India and quite a few Middle Eastern countries, thieves get one of their hands chopped off if they are caught stealing. Probably because these countries don't have money to waste keeping people caged up, and they figure chopping off a hand should get the point across. In many other places, it...

I see a lot of folks speculating or repeating what they "know" about the ideal "SD ccw caliber" and "tactical scenarios". What I want to know, if it is at your discretion(emotionally or legally) to discuss, how many of you have had to use a handgun against another person to defend yourself or...

In the absence of a thread comparing these two product lines, I decided to make one. To shooters whom have used either or both of these lines, how did you like them(or not like them)?

Im very ultilitarian and minimalistic when it comes to firearms. I want maximum versatility and reliability in a minimally sized package. Ideally, I would only own 3 or 4 guns total that I could utilize for any practical purpose. What it's primary uses will be: Coyotes/Varmint Deer...
