    Gun or Guns that became far more used or far less used than you thought they would.....

    This can be for rifles, shotguns, pistols, muzzleloader, or any other type of firearm that you bought that end up being far more used or not used than you thought they would be when you initially bought them. I am not a shooter, I no longer shoot for fun, although I hope that will change as my...

    Loading a bolt action rifle from the bottom

    Hello. I recently purchased a Winchester Model 70 Alaskan, chambered in .30-06. I've been practicing loading it and unloading it, mostly with snap caps. I discovered that I'm able to load it from the bottom, meaning that I open the hinged floorplate, turn the rifle upside down and drop five...

    Henry Big Boy steel vs Marlin 1894

    Hello everyone! I’m looking into purchasing a lever action rifle chambered in .357 mag, and I’m debating between a Marlin 1894, or the Henry Big Boy steel. The lack of a loading gate on the Henry doesn’t bother me, but I would like to purchase the higher quality rifle. I’ve heard the Henry has...

    Firearm instructor

    I want to start my own range and be able to offer and instruct courses, especially concealed carry. All my research point to the NRA to become qualified. Is there any other channels to obtain a license to instruct other than through the NRA?

    BRNO Rifles

    Hello: I have a general question regarding the quality of BRNO rifles. As I mentioned in an other thread that my .243 Win BRNO bolt is not as smooth as I would like it to be. It seems like there is some friction while moving back and forth. Friction like as if it is not oiled. I tried...

    Sights for a shotgun/rifle?

    Hey all, I have an older Remington 870 wing master from my dad. It is just a plain barrel with a bead sight at the end, not ribbed. The problem I’m having is the damn bead sight is so small and hard to see, plus this is just my personal opinion, but I don’t think the bead sight is a very good...

    Am I weird how I shoot?

    This going to be kind of a long post. I went today to look at some rifles as I wanted to Expand the arsenal. A Tikka t3 in 270 caught my eye and I asked to handle it real quick. He politely handed it to me and he noticed I was left handed and he said “oh well you don’t want that let me get...

    Ruger 10/22 in NY?

    Hey all, so last week I ordered a Ruger 10/22 and the FFL I sent it to had to ship it back Becuase a part of it wasn’t legal here in NY. The stupid thing about all of this is they didn’t even include it in the description of it. What was illegal is that it came with a threaded barrel. Obviously...
