    Do you keep a paper or computer inventory of your firearms and accessories?

    If so, why do you do it, or why don't you do it? Is there some magic number of firearms that you collect that makes this an invaluable tool of some sort? The only thing I can think of is as a record of the serial number should it get stolen. Wouldn't keeping the receipts/paper work be...

    What brand/model is the best value in a "hammerless" .357/.38 revolver?

    This is for bedside and possible in-the-purse concealed carry. Light weight is NOT preferred. It's likely to be loaded with .38 ammo. Something with similar stats to this: Hammerless design - Less to think about and less likely to snag. .357 - Preferred for versatility and added weight to...

    Bolt or AR, which has better accuracy with .308?

    Would one be better off starting with an AR-10 (any manufacturer) based platform or a bolt gun like a Remington 700, or similar? Which is likely to have better accuracy out-of-the-box? With a total budget of $2000.00 for gun & modifications, ignoring the cost of any optics, which can be...

    Modifying "Ed's Red" bore cleaner

    I mixed up a batch of Ed's Red without the lanolin. I use it for general gun cleaning and I like it very much. This batch has Equal parts ATF, Kerosene, Mineral Spirits & Acetone. I also mixed up the compatible gun oil of 4oz ATF & 4oz Kerosene. I now want to make a less agressive version...

    Yugo SKS purchase. Now what?

    I know this should be a solid gun but what should I look for when cleaning it? Meaning, what should I do to make sure it is properly functioning? Also, what can I do to get the most out of this puppy? I already have all the info from surplusrifle.com and I've already done full disassembly...

    I need suggestions for secure ammo storage

    I was planning on buying a construction site steel storage box to store my ammunition. They are cheap, secure, and have lots of space. The box says it should not be used for explosives etc., but I don't see much of a difference between this and a gun safe. It seems to me that since the box...

    What is a "Hinged floorplate magazine?"

    I'm not a hunter and have had only limited exposure to bolt action rifles. I enjoy high power rifle matches using my M1 Garand but I would also like to try my hand at long range shooting using optics. Ok, that said, I'm looking at various tactical bolt action rifles. Primarily I've been...

    AIM Surplus Radway Green 223 on strippers

    I plan on getting a Rock River AR-15 with the 223 Wylde chamber. Does anyone know how the Radway Green stuff will perform? 2", 3", 4" groups??? Should I stick to retail 223 or get Lake City XM193 instead? I need something cheap to practice with for high power matches without resorting...

    Kerry for President Yard Sign

    After seeing these all over here in Ohio littering yards after the election, I finally found a good use for them. You see, the metal frame around the plastic sign makes a great target holder for my 200yd NRA High Power target centers. :neener:

    Best price for good 308 surplus ammo?

    What is the best price for good surplus 308 ammo. I would consider good to be on par with the South African and Portugese surplus. I've not tried the Australian, but I think it is in the same ballpark. The Indian ammo is "right out". If you think it matters a lot, I plan to use it in my...

    M1 Garand Gas Cylinder & Accuracy

    I was cleaning my newly purchased CMP M1 rifle the other night and I removed the gas cylinder from the barrel. The Springfield Armory instructions indicate that I should NOT have done this. I was on a roll doing the disassembly and failed to notice this instruction. The manual indicates...
