I'm looking for an accurate bolt action to fill a hole in my safe, but the sticking point is that its got to have iron sights. I don't have to compensate for weak eyes, don't want to spend a few hundred more on a decent piece of glass ATM, and I want irons as a back up even when I do invest in...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syjM1dPriBA&feature=related Have any of you seen these ridiculous Broadview Security commercials. Here's the setup: crazed, violent criminal stalks a mother and child, forcefully smashes through the front door with hulk like strength, and is scared away...

Has anyone here gotten a set for their AK yet? I put them on my Model 60 when a THR member recommended them and I absolutely love them. If the AK models are as much of an improvement I might just have to run out and by a commie gun to go with them.

In the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts residents of the state must have a FID Card to buy, possess, and transport any firearm. I had thought you could transport a rifle as long as it is locked in the trunk or other container. If I'm not a resident of Mass. and wish to bring a rifle from say...

I've seen a few M1 Carbines with a metal handguard instead of the standard wood. Were these confined to certain manufacturers or periods of production? Or are they later modifications or even reproduction pieces?

I had the day off from work today so I decided to make a trip to the range. On my way there I decided to stop at my local gun shop for some ammo and what should I see, but a Inland M1 Carbine with a bright bore and solid stock for $500. Oh be still my beating heart she was a beauty. Only that...

All this talk on the Forum of .22 autoloaders got me to bring my Marlin out to the range today for a short session after work. The problem was when I tried to adjust the rear sight for windage it would meander back after a few shots. Tap it to the right, realize I was shooting to the left...

All the firearms I've bought up to now have been through gunbroker or purchased out of state, but I've been looking for a good local place where I could just browse. Only problem is I can't seem to find a shop that's halfway decent. There's the big mega-stores (Basspro, Gander Mountain...

I found some in my cleaning stuff (little black bottle). Army "S-758...cleaner, lubricant, and preservative" and I'm wondering if the stuff is any good. Any G.I.s, former or active, use the stuff? Results? Better/worse than Hoppes 9? Thanks.

For those who don't know 922 states: I know the real reason behind it: just another way of complicating and making more expensive the ownership of firearms so its easier for them to "disarm the peasants." But does anybody here know the reason the ATF or Congress gave in passing it? What...

National Geographic is running a special under the guise of showing both sides of the firearms debate, but its looking to be a very thin veil. Every time they talk about the anti-gun movement they use facts, but every time they talk about people that are pro-gun they only refer to feelings...

I have the opportunity to pick one of these up used for what I think is a reasonable price and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them and what real world prices they've seen. I want it mainly for a SHTF scenario and a carbine seems like a good choice, especially a .45 which is a...

I just bought a Swedish Mauser on gunbroker.com. It's the first time I've bought a gun not in person. I had my dealer fax the FFL today and all that's left is to send out the money order, but I've heard horror stories of people getting the wrong gun or the gun never arrives at all. I...

Do you need a R&C license to receive rifles from the CMP through the mail delivered to your home address?

I'm looking for a semi-auto rifle, but want to stay away from the AR/AK families. Garands are very tempting, but a great deal north of my price range. Its too bad that I was too young to get at the M1 when the getting was good. Now I'm thinking about a Russian SVT-40. I've seen them for...

If I have two residences in different states can I bring guns purchased in one state to the residence in the other as long as they are legal in both?

I've been looking around for a Mauser K98. I've looked online extensively and in a few stores in my area. I've seen prices from the $250-350 range all the way up to and over $1000. I even saw one on gunbroker.com for a whopping $3000. The higher prices I've been seeing seem ridiculous for...
