A coworker of mine is looking to sell a Winchester 1897 shotgun and I'd like to know it's value. It was made in 1906 and it's the standard model (not a riot or a trench gun... that would be nice) with the plain/non-checkered wood and a 28" barrel. The condition is very good to excellent...

EDIT: It's a Stevens Model 37, my mistake. This shotgun has belonged to my father since the 1960's and it was bought used back then, so I'm sure it's pretty old. I estimate the value (books and what I can find on the market) at about forty bucks, so it's not worth a trip to the gunsmith. It...

I don't currently own a 1911 but would like to get into the platform, and a local guy is selling a stainless Dan Wesson 1911. It's the Panther series (K03-S), which from what I can tell was their budget line several years ago. Is it worth $525 if in good condition with a low round count?

I've been wanting an inexpensive range plinker for a while now and saw this on my local armslist: http://www.armslist.com/posts/24671/minneapolis-minnesota-handguns-for-sale-iver-johnsons-22-8-shot The only description the seller gives is "it a 22 it a bit old but fun to shoot and...

I had a thread awhile ago on a new (to me) Marlin model 60. It seemed to eat almost all cheap bulk .22LR without many issues. I got another Model 60 ($85 OTD used with decent scope, I couldn't pass it up) and it's been having issues. I was having misfires every four to five rounds with...

I'm just beginning to test the waters on my first accurate rifle, and by "accurate" I mean moreso than my Mosin, AK, and Marlin Model 60 .22LR. :D I haven't been able to test a lot of rifles, although I did shoot a Savage 110 that was pretty sweet (it was chambered in .223 however)...

From the research I've done the net, they were among the best pre-AWB semi-auto AK clones on the market, especially the Poly Tech Legend. My question is, do they justify the $1500-$2000 price they are taking on gunbroker? An older guy I go to the range with bought one just prior to Clinton's...

Okay, I was shooting clays with a friend today and the forend stock just came off in her hand after she fired a shot. No injuries and no damage to the stock... almost as if the single screw that holds the forend on came out. The only problem is, it didn't come out. It looks like whatever had...

Despite having acquired several firearms over the past two years, I didn't have anything chambered in .22LR. Fortunately I remedied that by pickup up a nice used Marlin Model 60. I went to a local WalMart and bought three bulk packs of ammunition - one of each brand they carried. They were...

Since we are here to discuss firearms as a hobby and a passion, I'd like to open up discussion to the results of gun shot wounds. Since guns, while loads of fun, are deadly weapons and extremely dangerous if not handled properly, I think it would be good to talk about the end results of...

A local guy is selling a High Standard Double Nine for $200. It looks to be in pretty good shape with nice bluing and aftermarket grips. I love revolvers, and I've been wanting a .22LR wheelgun for plinking. Is the High Standard worth $200? Do any of you guys have opinions on them, good or...

I have a cheap Hiawatha 12 gauge (same as Stevens model 30) that won't retain shells in the tube. I don't know the terminology, but the little retainer clip on the side of the receiver just stays flat against the side and doesn't stick out at all to hold the shells in. On my other shotguns, in...

I'd like some input into whether or not this is a good trade. I put my Walther P990 up for sale/trade on a local board. It's in great shape, with original box, manual, two mags, tools, plus one extra mag and a fobus paddle holster. I have a guy who wants to trade a mint condition S&W 642...

Another thread got me thinking. The most common advice is "call a lawyer immediately" if you should ever been unfortunate enough to be involved in a CCW shooting. Well, what if you get into a shooting but have never had any use for a lawyer and don't know any? Is this something you should...

I just got back from a local shop where I ordered a Glock 17. It will be bone stock, without the compensated barrel or the night sights. I was going to get the Glock Factory night sights, but decided against them. This gun is going to be a range dog and never carried, and I wasn't overly...

Would a straight up trade be worth my time? I don't know the exact model of the PolyTech, but it's the style with the regular fixed wood stock and pistol grip, not the "sporter" style thumbhole stock. The Golani is the typical CAI-produced semi-auto Galil that you see everywhere, and the...

Okay, let's assume that someone is going deer hunting this upcoming season. Let's also assume that they have a Winchester Model 70 chambered for .416 Rem Mag. Let's suppose this person took down a medium-sized buck or doe with the aforementioned rifle. How much overkill would the .416 Rem Mag...

After shooting a friend's Springfield, I've decided that I need to get one of my own. I just got my MN permit to purchase (a requirement for buying handguns in this state), so I'm ready to go. I don't have a huge budget, so the Mil-Spec will be stretching it to its upper limits. First...

Someone at work is selling his Ruger P89 for $250. I'm seriously thinking about buying it. He says it's in excellent shape and that he's always cleaned it after shooting, but I have no idea how many rounds have been through it or any other details. I'd appreciate any advice.

Yay! I bought it from a lady who used to deer hunt with it "back in the day" and was looking to get rid of it. It's in very good shape for an '86, and it came with a Bushnell scope, sling, and hard case. I paid $120.
