    20" vs. 22" Turkey Gun

    I'm in the market for a dedicated turkey shotgun, and have it narrowed down to one of the Mossberg 500 Turkey guns in 20 gauge with a red dot optic. Cabela's has a 22" model in stock, but Mossberg just came out with essentially the same gun but with a 20" barrel. I don't have a lot of...

    Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle (GSR) - Barrel Length

    The barrel length on this gun is advertised as 16.1”, however, I measured mine from the bolt face (on a closed bolt) to the end of the threaded muzzle (with muzzle device removed), and it actually measures 17-1/4”. How is Ruger measuring these?

    Ruger GSR - Direct Thread Suppressor

    I’ve been running a YHM can with the a YHM QD brake mount on my Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle for years without issue, but just purchased a Thunder Beast Ultra-5 that I want to run direct thread for weight savings. I was planning to use a Hansohn Brothers direct thread adapter. However, because of...

    Removing stuck muzzle device - Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle

    I have an old YHM suppressor mount that I want to remove from this rifle. It wasn’t installed with any thread locker or adhesive, just torque, and it only has 100 rounds or so through it since it was installed. However, I can’t get it to budge just by clamping the barrel. Any advice on how I can...

    SFWA 2.5-10x32 SS Ultralight Rimfire

    Does anybody have any experience or opinions on this scope? I’m looking to upgrade one of my 10/22 scopes that is currently wearing an older Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 3-9x40, which is ok but not great, and it’s the BDC reticle is annoying. This rifle is used mostly for squirrel hunting. I was...

    Steel Gong Targets - Safe Angle

    I have a little range at my house with several circular plate/gong style steel targets, as well as few cheap Champion .22 diamond-shaped pop-up targets. Some of the small plates are rated for .22 only, but I do have a few 3/8" AR500 plates that I occasionally shoot with 9mm and 300 BLK...

    Help Identify this old Colt Revolver

    I recently inherited this gun, which is in pretty bad shape and falling apart, that I am trying to identify. I’m fairly certain it’s a US Colt Model 1860 Army Percussion. However, my research tells me that model was produced between 1860 - 1873, and this one has “1875” stamped in at least four...

    I inherited this old shotgun, and was wondering what shell length its chambered for, because I don’t see it stamped anywhere on the gun. Also, any idea of date of manufacture? Thanks for the help.

    Mounting Red Dot to Benelli Supernova

    I’ve been toying with the idea of trying a red dot sight for turkey hunting (eyes getting old…), and was wondering if there is an easy wash to mount one to my Benelli Supernova. I love the gun, but all it has is a fiber optic front sight and a stainless steel beed about half way down the rib...

    Burris Veracity 2-10x42 vs. Primary Arms GLX 2.5-10x44

    I’m looking for a scope for my AR-10 (.308 Win) which will be a dedicated short to mid-range hunting rig, deer mostly and possibly coyote. I’ve already settled on this magnification range, and am looking hard at these two scopes. I’m looking at the E1 reticle on the Burris and the ACSS-Raptor on...

    10mm Ammo for Deer

    I’m planning to hunt deer this season with my G20. Of the following 3 factory ammo loads, what would be the best choice for this task? I already have all three of these in my possession. I’ll probably limit my range to 30-40 yards. Hornady Custom 180gr XTP Doubletap 200gr Hard Cast Buffalo Bore...

    Thicker/Wider Sig P365 Grip Module

    I know there are a lot of aftermarket P365 grip modules, but I haven't seen one that increases the size of the grip any, either in thickness and/or width. If anybody knows of or has experience with one, please let me know. Thanks.

    Ruger LCP II - Bent Recoil Springs

    I have a brand new Ruger LCP II, and noticed when I disassembled after my first range trip of about 100 rounds that both the inner and outer recoil springs had a slight bend to them, located about 1/3 of the way from the front end. I chalked it up to a spring issue (bad heat treat or something)...

    Dewey Coated Rod - 22C

    I recently purchased a Dewey nylon coated cleaning rod, the 22C size, which is advertised as being suitable for .22-.26 caliber bores. However, I am unable to get it to fit into any of my .22LR or .223 barrels, no matter how small a patch I use or how hard I try and push. It’s simply too tight...

    Questions about Breech Plug Lube & Cleaning Frequency

    For a Remington 700 ML, is regular metallic based anti-seize, like what you would find at an automotive store, or even shotgun choke tube lube, ok to use on breech plug and nipple threads? Regarding cleaning frequency, do these parts need to be removed and cleaned after a specific number of...

    Question about Powder Measures

    Can I use Blackhorn 209 powder tubes to measure Pyrodex, or are these tubes calibrated to provide equivalent volume to weight measurents for Blackhorn 209 powder? In other words, if I want a 100gr load of Pyrodex, and I fill one of these tubes to the 100 mark, will I have a 100gr load of...

    Scope base for Remington 700 ML

    I just acquired a used Remington 700 ML, and would like to mount a scope to it. I haven’t decided which scope yet, but wanted to go ahead and purchase the base. I was looking at the Evolution Gun Works (EGW) options, and wasn’t quite sure which one I need. Is the Renington 700 short action 0 MOA...
