I'm going to do a little polishing on the flats of a Beretta 92FS slide and I'm wondering if I can do something to protect red paint in the safety dot indentions? I've done this on another slide and the slurry will discolor the paint and it's tough to clean. I had to repaint the safety dots in...

I'm refinishing a walnut Marlin stock from a 39A. There is a small ding that I'm not sure of the best way to deal with. As you can see it's about 3 mm wide and not very deep. It was larger but I steamed it several times to get it to the state it's in now. It seems too small to use a filler as is...

I live out in the country and have a couple of steel plates set up that I plink at off the back porch with 22LR rifles. Not serious target shooting just relaxing and therapeutic. I'm wanting a nice revolver to do the same with and in my research came across a THR thread about the best .22...

I have a Marlin 981T which is a great bolt action .22 but wasn't available with a wood stock. I purchased an unfinished Marlin walnut stock for a different model from Numrich and made all the necessary inletting modifications. I finished the stock with Tru Oil (my first experience with that)...

Dove season is going strong here and since my nephew and his buddies are constantly borrowing my extra shotguns I've been using an old '68 Belgium Auto-5 with fixed modified barrel. It has always been a safe queen but I have really enjoyed using it as a shooter this season. I'd like to have...

I have a recent model Mini-14 Ranch Rifle in stainless that I'd like to install a flash hider on. In looking around I see several that specifically indicate that it will not fit the Ranch Rifle model. Will any flash hider marked Post-2005 work with the Ranch Rifle or is there something specific...

FIXED - Marlin 1894 lever action feeding problem. I have a Marlin 1894CS lever action .38/.357 rifle that I am having a problem with. It appears that the lever is connected to the feed ramp so that when it is closed the shell is brought up and forward. The action works fine with only one...

I've been watching an auction on GB for an early NIB Inox Beretta 92fs with all stainless controls. The 15 minute rule keeps getting reset with new bids. This thing is now over $1500. Seems crazy for a 92fs but I guess there are those willing to shell that much out for one. God bless America...

I've been wanting a Browning SA-22 for a while and saw an old Belgium in a gun shop the other day that had a Browning scope mounted on it. The scope had a built in mount that attached to the grooves on the receiver. I came back and started doing some google research on this scope and...

I'm wanting to get a beater 1911 just to tinker around with. Just something to take apart and put back together. I'm not a gunsmith so I can't build a gun so I want something complete. I have a couple of other platform handguns I do this with now and I find it therapeutic plus it's good practice...

I have a Colt King Cobra that I bought new years ago. I shot it quite a bit after I got it and then put it up. I got it out recently and noticed it has a very light but noticeable scratch on the frame. If I run my fingernail over it I don't really feel it so I don't think it's too deep. I have...

I have a 92FS Inox with stainless controls. The gun looks nice but I'm thinking about having the controls refinished. I'd like the barrel, takedown lever, slide stop, trigger bar, extractor, and mag release to be a bright polished stainless look. I have never had this done and don't know what...

I recently won a Savage Arms model 111 FXP3 in a 270 WIN in a raffle. I have never owned a Savage firearm and know very little about the rifle. I am not a deer hunter but do own a no frills Winchester 70 in 30-06 that I've had for years to fulfill the 'every man should own a deer rifle'...

I just picked up a Beretta model 70S in 22LR. I'd been looking for one for a while and finally came across one in pretty good shape. It is a fantastic little gun and shoots great. I want to replace the grips with ones without the thumb rest. The thumb rest makes it extremely comfortable for...

I just picked up a Beretta model 70S in 22LR. I'd been looking for one for a while and finally came across one in pretty good shape. It is a fantastic little gun and shoots great. I love small .22 pistols and quality wise this is probably one of the best I've ever had. I want to replace the...

I really like doing business with Bud's as they are easy to deal with and I think they have really good prices on new guns. I purchased a pre-owned gun from them the other day and paid the rack rate they had for it which I thought was a bit high but I really wanted it. I was also looking at...

I picked up a couple of boxes of SBR LaserMatch tracer ammo in 9mm and shot 50 rounds last night. It was loads of fun. Now I'm really wanting to get a reasonably priced 9mm carbine as just a fun gun. Price is a concern but I don't want a cheap POS. I know the KelTek and the Hi-Point are...

I have a fairly new Marlin 39A that I decided to put a scope on. I used the mount base that came with the gun and couldn't get the scope adjusted to even hit the paper. It was shooting way off to one side. I was placing an order from Midway anyway so I added a Weaver 48090 top mount base made...

The .22LR Plinkers thread currently going got me wanting to a new .22. I have a $250 gift certificate to my local hardware store that I've been sitting on for a while. They have a Ruger MarkIII standard in stainless steel in their case. Not a great price at $345 but I can knock off $250...

When I first got into handguns I was young, didn’t have a lot of money, and didn’t really know exactly what I wanted. A friend of mine suggested I start with a revolver. I went out and bought a Colt King Cobra and fell in love with .357 revolvers. Over the next several years I managed to...
