    Pioneer Gun Safes

    Hopefully I'm not late to this dance, but I wanted to see if Joshua M. or anyone else had anything to say about Pioneer safes too. 1/8" appears to be 11 gauge which is slightly better than the standard safe for $800-1000. The fact that their website is all but useless scares me some... On...

    Gun transfer fee?

    The other thing to be careful is of a dealer trying to charge you "sales tax" on the value of the gun. AFAIK, this is highly illegal

    Why I Open Carry!

    I live in TN where we can carry open or concealed as long as we have our license. For me personally, I would love to carry OC. The only reason I don't is worry about LEO's. I'm just like anyone else: I have my own busy life with things to do. I do not want to have some idiot make a MWAG call...

    Why are people against registering guns?

    Help with an Anschutz 141

    Today I purchased a Savage import Anschutz 141 in .22lr. I believe this gun is about 40 years old. I am having a bear of a time figuring out how to remove the bolt. I see no buttons to press (ala rem 700 style) or screws to remove in order to take it out. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks!

    SigSauer vs. Glock

    I find the ergonomics of the Sig to be more desireable than that of a Glock. I'm an XD fan myself, but every once in a while I think to myself "I wish this XD was DA/SA like the Sig". I love the SA follow up shots on a Sig.

    Enfield 303 No.4 Mk1 Question

    Forgive my ignorance; I had assumed the original finish was blued with the gun having been re-coated with some other finish in the last 60 years. Did these guns use a different type of barrel finishing at the time? Thanks! *edit* Also, I thought I would be able to strip down the barrel...

    Hey guys, I'm looking at purcashing my first mil-surplus rifle. I have come across a "WW2 British enfield 303 bolt action,peep sights, sporterized stock, 10 shot mag". I have been told it is 1941 production and has a "thick black paint-like coating on the barrel". Price is $150 and have...

    Exotic/Tactical/interesting firearm for around $600

    Skorpion machine pistol, Mac10/11, any modified bullpup style rifles. All of those are "exotic", possibly less than tactical however.

    gun safes

    For some reason, I don't think people with throw-away guns would be the type to buy a nice safe. I think that if your value of guns + your insurance deductible (in case they are all stolen) is equal to or greater than the cost of a safe, it'd be a no brainer to get a safe.

    FFL's...

    Also, if you're a member of a local "gun club" check there. I know that one guy in the local gun club here does FFL transfers for cheaper than any local pawn shops or gun shops.

    Bradford Arms Company?

    What is the story on "Bradford Arms"? I'm looking at a gun that was supposedly mass produced by Smith and Wesson in the 1880's but the gun itself is labeled Bradford Arms. I can't find anything about Bradford, so is it believable this is really a S&W piece...

    A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum!

    R&R Arms is good stuff. Came through on my LCP when they first came out. Paid something like $260 after shipping. Congrats on your new toy

    Need Help Identifying Rifle

    New images on the gun. http://s720.photobucket.com/albums/ww209/jos2f/ Action seems to be in shoddy condition, would you agree? The seller also thinks that piece of wood at the forend of the gun is a separate piece. $220, worth a buy or no?

    Legality of "flipping" guns?

    Lot of good information here, thanks guys. Seems unwise to buy any gun with sole purpose of reselling it. Even still, no wise man passes up on a good deal for a gun for his personal collection ;)

    Need Help Identifying Rifle

    This gun is for sale at a price that seems fair to me ($220) All I know so far is that it is "lightweight", "military rifle", .308 cal and that it's a mauser action (seller said they took bolt out of this rifle and put it in a WW2 Mauser and it worked fine) There are supposedly numbers on...

    semi auto ban question

    It's true that gun control might be the last thing on Obama's mind, however with the majority in the Senate/House being Democrat, they might be more apt to draft an AWB or similar legislature knowing that Obama would most likely be more open to it compared to GWB. Of course, I'm not going to...

    Gun show asking prices

    When you say better offers, do you mean higher offers? Or that FTF buyers get a better deal than internet auction? I'm just curious for my own purchasing decisions haha

    semi auto ban question

    "Despite his promise to renew the ban, President George W. Bush and Congress allowed the ban to "sunset" in September of 2004." From Brady Campaign FAQ (yeah, bad source but it seems like they say he promised and he didn't live up to it)
