With Halloween approaching, I thought I'd ask a question I've genuinely been curious about for a while. Does anyone have any stories of haunted firearms? The idea isn't that outlandish, given that some surplus firearms were used in wars. Maybe weird things happened when you obtained a...

I've become very interested in our country's history. The Appleseed Project is partly to blame :) (I got Rifleman on our first day!). I've always been a firearms enthusiast, but would like to delve into the black powder area, and specifically with something that would be similar to what was...

Hello. I'm interested in selling an S&W revolver that I have. It's a snubnose 19-4 with pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. I'm just not sure what to post it for price-wise. Any opinions? She's wearing Ahrends grips made of Moradillo right now, but I do have some brand new S&W factory...

I've got a nice pair of Ahrend's grips for my S&W 19-4, and they fit so well that if I take the grip screw off, I can't separate the grips to get them off the revolver. When I put them on the revolver, they kind of snapped into place very firmly. Does anyone have any handy tips for doing...

I was just wondering - does anyone have additional insurance on their firearms? Any recommendations on this? I know a homeowner's policy will cover some stuff, but for example would it make sense to insure my collection against theft? I know there are factors in this such as total value of...

It looks like every other Glock, but this one's mine :) It has the "03" spring that some have had troubles with. No problems here! The first 85 rounds were Winchester NATO 124gr. Ate them like a champ, no problems. I kept the remaining 15 rounds to load up into a mag for home...

Wondering if you guys could weigh in on some of the best deals/most interesting C&R guns to get. Just got my license, so looking at a couple of options - a Mosin 91/30, German Mauser, CZ82, Nagant Revolver. What do you think is the best deal in C&R right now? Thanks for any insights you...

Just got this shotgun from a friend. It was his grandpa's that passed on, and he kept another in better shape. I think it's going to be a home defense/fun at the range kind of shotgun. He didn't ask for much at all, but it looks like this shotgun has got it where it counts. Going to...

Hi, folks. Picked this rifle up for $225. It's a Model 94 in 30-30 with obvious receiver issues - the bluing apparently didn't stay on the receiver very well (according to the seller). The pictures make it look worse than it is - the bluing is gone, with some very slight surface corrosion...

Hi, folks - I've ordered a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .223, and while waiting for it to ship...I need to figure out an optics solution for it. I'm looking at a Burris mount (2 piece steel, Weaver/Picatinny style), and Burris Zee Solid Steel rings. Any objections to that? Preferring to...

Hi, my friend has an M1899 carbine that he's not very attached to. He'd like to have something he could fire and not worry about. He was given this Model 1899 Carbine as a graduation gift from someone, whose grandfather had brought it back from the Army. Apparently the Army let them take...

Hello, fellow high roaders! I'm closing on a house this week, and it will be the first house for my fiancee and I. I would like to hear any and all suggestions about what I should think about doing while getting settled in - as far as home defense and security. My fiancee and I are changing...

This is a continuation of the thread I started in the general discussion. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=469529 I am going to purchase some BP revolvers for groomsmen gifts for my wedding next June. Although they will be shot, they will probably not be shot very often...

Hello, fellow High Roaders :) I'm going to be getting married next June. When considering groomsmen gifts for the wedding, I realized that all of my groomsmen are familiar with firearms, and have their Illinois FOID. I started considering gifting each groomsman a pistol or revolver as...
