Hi all. In looking at bolt rifles, I've noticed the terms "long" and "short action." What does this mean? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Thanks!

Hi all. I'm starting to gather data on bolt-action rifles and think that a detachable mag is a great feature for the speed of reloading that it offers. 1) Is a detachable mag a good or bad idea for a bolt-action rifle? 2) What quality bolt-action rifles have detachable mags? 3) Is...

I read an article in America's First Freedom about the U.N. plan to go after firearms in America, in addition to the article quoting chirac as wanting to tax small arms transactions. Seriously: does any legislation of the sort stand ANY chance of succeeding in the US? I guess I am prone to...

I have a GI-style short, parkerized 1911 trigger and I want to blue it (or otherwise darken it) to match the finish of my blued Colt. Can I just apply bluing or something over the parkerizing, or do I need to first strip the parkerizing off the trigger? If so, how would I go about doing...

Hi all. I shot some S&B ammo through my 1911's and, as you may know, S&B has some red gunk around the primer which is still on the breechface and firing pin of my 1911's. What is that stuff? Do I need to worry about it? Should I detail strip my slides? Thanks....

From all the reading I've done, it seems as if Savage factory stocks are the most god-awful things on the face of the planet and that it simply MUST be restocked before it will be acceptable. Does anyone have the factory stock on their Savage that they shoot regularly? I find it hard to...

- Red Davis signed SB 489, requiring all semiauto pistols sold in the republic to have a chamber loaded indicator and mag disconnect. My response: I'm buying as many pistols as I can afford and then some. - Schwarzennegger signs AB 50 banning .50 BMG's in the republic. My response: I...

I just had a conversation with an anti, who, unfortunately, holds a position of significant power in my area, and is incredibly anti-gun. In fact, he just told me this evening that he wishes we were like England and had a total ban on guns; he wishes they didn't even exist. But don't you...

I know absolutely nothing about rifles. I want to learn all about them. What are some good books you can recommend? I have "Art of the Rifle" by Cooper, but that is more of a shooting manual than a book about the rifle itself. I would like to know what "bedding" is (glass bedding?)...

I'm going to buy a .50 BMG of some sort before the end of the year to beat the new ban. Obviously, all guns are registered by default in CA. Question: Will I be expected to fill out a separate, specific "registration" form for my .50 BMG? If so, they are going to get back the form...

Hi all. As is evident from my recent threads in this forum, I'm looking for a rifle. :) I found a good deal on the above system, and from what research I've done on a couple forums, it seems like a good combo. Not the absolute, bleeding-edge best, but it seems to be a system that will...

Hi all. Thinking about a rifle for camping/backpacking and the like. Any accurate .308 rifles that break down to a smaller size for camping/hiking? Thanks

Which is a higher quality rifle overall? Any information about either make is appreciated... Thanks

Hi all. From all I've read it seems that the .308 is the most effective and most common round for general purpose hunting/sniping. I'm thinking of getting into hunting, which is why I ask. I guess the Remington 700 is about the best base gun to start with? Thanks

Now that the governator signed AB .50, I need a .50 BMG reciever. Where can I buy one? Links please! What is the best type? I don't suppose Barrett sells recievers, do they??? :D P.S.: As I type this, I am on hold with the girlie man's office to tell one of his staffers...

I've wanted a 1911 for a while. Finally, and thanks to WildAlaska's generosity, I purchased one for a song, a blued 1991A1 NRM 5". Well, being that I live in CA, I'm determined to buy as many pistols as I can while I still can. So I buy a Kimber Custom II. And then, thanks again to...
