    My wife wants me to buy a Gator-type thing...

    Mods, if there's a better place for this, please move it. Having never owned one, I'm fairly clueless, but I figured I could possibly get some guidance here. 2016 has been a good year on the farm, and I need to spend some money before the tax-man takes half of it. Mrs. wrs840 says she'd like...

    S&W repairs policy and requesting a RMA question...

    Hi Good Folks of THR, I have a S&W Mod 4506-1 that has extractor problems, and I would like to return it to S&W for repair. Is [email protected] the correct email address to use to request a RMA for a return of this nature? I bought this used, but it still looks new. Does S&W still...

    ?Bumper Sticker? Where to find?

    Anyone know where I can find bumperstickers of the Robert E. Lee headquarters flag without me having to buy a $200 minimum-order worth (400 copies, and I don't think I have that many friends to give them to). http://www.ruffinflagcompany.net/ProductInfo_V3.aspx?productID=233152 Red and White...

    Iron Sights Elevation POI Adjustment at distance.

    I've been whiling away the latest shortage by monkeying with some distance shooting with iron sights. I have a rest with sandbags set-up at 135 yards, and am getting pretty decent at getting softball sized groups with a .22 Marlin 60 (w/Williams Fire Sights), a .223 Mini 14 (w/ Modern Factory...

    S&W M36 w/3"bbl... How rare are they?

    ...So I ran across a 36-1 with a 3" pinned barrel in a favorite LGS/pawn shop. It's in apparently un-fired condition, with box, all papers, only thing missing was the brass cleaning rod. Paid $500 OTD. I wasn't looking for one, but I'm kind of a sucker for old Smiths in great shape... Well...

    S&W 5904/5906 new bbl replacement fit problem

    I need some help please. I have three 5904s, all bought used, so I thought having a spare barrel would be smart. I bought one from Midway that says it's for 5904/5906/5943/5946/Super9, 9mm 4"SS. It's Midway item #992152, S&W #276210000. Link...

    Advice w/ my new Colt LE6940 M16/M4 platform rifle...

    ...So I bought my first-ever AR type rifle yesterday. It's a Colt LE6940. Haven't fired it yet. I know little about it, never had the AR bug, but bought it because it looked cool, and the owner of a favorite-haunt LGS told me it was destined to be collectible because of the discontinued...

    New Vaquero grips question for the experts

    I have a New Vaquero with the standard black hard rubber grips. I would like to replace them with smooth wood, and I would prefer to buy some that are "flat" (i.e.: 90 degree "square" on the bottom), so when installed, the butt of the gun is flat all the way across, instead of with a bevel...

    Replacement Saddle Ring source for Win 94?

    Anyone know a source? I have a 1967 mfg 94 missing the saddle Ring, but it's drilled and tapped for it. I've checked Numrich and Brownells and can't find one. Thanks!

    S&W K Frame 3" bbl

    The short set-up for this question is: The more I target shoot, the more I love revolvers, S&W in particular, .38s in specific. My current favorite is a 64-5 4"bbl, April 1989 production, that I bought as a police-trade off the internet a couple years ago. For whatever reason, I shoot it...

    S&W "Performance Center" M60

    Anyone own, tried, heard rumors about these? http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_765954_-1_757775_757751_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y I have been noticing one that's been lying new in the case at a local Mom-'n-Pop for months now...and suddenly...

    Decision Time on Scope for Woods Rifle

    This will go on a Marlin 336 in 35 Remingtion for Hogs and Still-Hunting Whitetail. Trying to decide between: Weaver Classic V-3 1-3x20. And Nikon Monarch African Series 1-4x20. Thoughts anyone? At $279, the Nikon costs more than I paid for the rifle, But I have found "Refurbished" ones...

    Hog Rifle Scope

    My early-seventies Marlin 336 in 35 Remington is being retired from "primary" deer-rifle duty as I just got a Savage 11FNS in .308, and a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40. :) So... It's time to take the old Bushnell Sportview 3-9x40 off of the Marlin and set it up to be more suitably specialized as...

    Hawkeye Ultralight in .308

    Coming to the experts for opinions. I'm looking for a bolt rifle for deer hunting. I'm 52, and have never been much interested until this season, but I own and live on a good place to hunt deer, and went a couple times in December, and I'm seeing the attraction. My "deer rifle" is a 336...

    Pistol-Mag Pouch to Velcro inside safe Door ??

    I have a Liberty Safe that has the grey-fuzzy-carpeted flat panel on the inside of the door. I'd really like to find a Velcro-backed pouch-panel to attach to the carpet that would hold 20-or-more pistol magazines. Kinda like this, but with Velcro, and for pistol-magazines only...

    Seems I need "one more" Levergun

    Sorry for a "what-would-you-do" post, but I get excited when I find candidates for the collection... I frequently troll the small-gunshops here in Piedmont NC, and on consignment, (a widow selling her dear-departed's guns), I found a Winchester 94AE, sn dates it to apx 1986 vintage, and it's...

    Vehicle Long-gun Lock, w/combination?

    Does anyone know if this style of shotgun/rifle lock for vertical storage in a vehicle (In my case, inside a cab-tractor) is sold by anyone with a combination lock instead of a key lock? ... It does not need to be electronic, in fact, I'd prefer it not be, just combination only...

    Winchester 12ga Defender 1300, Wood and Blue

    I found one in a local pawnshop (consignment), looks dead mint. 20" bbl, 7 shot mag, plastic trigger guard. Comes with a nice 3" leather sling w/detachable swivels, a soft case, and about 250 rounds of assorted shells, probably good mostly for practice ammo for the wife and kids. Worth...

    Hornady FTX failure-to-fire experience

    I think I recall reading on THR about some FTF experiences with Hornady FTX. Well it happened to me yesterday, with carry-ammo in my trusted and heretofore flawlessly functioning 442. Shots 2 and 4 were duds. Excellent dimple in the primer, just no boom. Disturbing. I have probably 10...

    How to Answer this Anti Point?

    Anti point: "do you read the 2A as an all or nothing provision (meaning any restrictions or banning of classes of weapons violate the 2A)? If not, what limits / regulations do you find acceptable?" OK. Specifically regarding McDonald: My personal reading of the dissenting opinion on...
