      Help Identifying Vintage Target Scope Rings, Rare or Custom

      These rings are very well made in the old style where they were made from a solid block of steel, the holes bored and then the rings split. They are marked, mated and matched as a set, top and bottoms. They fit on dovetail target blocks very precisely like the old Unertl and Fecker. They are NOT...

      Benelli Quality Control Very Disappointing what say you?

      I bought a Benelli Montefeltro 20 ga. online brand new with a satin walnut stock as a gift for my grand daughter. I didn't examine it good because I didn't want to mess up the factory packing and I thought Benelli, it's going to be nice for a $1300 gun. What do you think about this stock with...

      Need To Replace Beretta Slide 92 SB-F Help?

      My brother's 92, after many thousands of rounds without issue is beginning to malfunction. It's failing to feed using the same ammo he used for years.

      Concealed Carry or Open Carry while hunting

      I'm trying to sort this out and I'm not finding the regulations. While hunting deer with a straight wall cartridge handgun, I'm using an 8-3/8" S&W 29 44 mag. I don't have a CCW. Does the weapon have to be open carry while hunting? For instance, can I wear the gun in a shoulder holster under my...

      Armalite AR 10 handguard replacement, accuracy and torque

      I have an Armalite AR 10 flat top I believe it's just called the Defensive Sporting Rifle. The handguard is the standard military type with a delta ring and the barrel has a gas block with the little short picatinny rail. I am thinking of replacing the handguard with a free float tube type...

      MIDWAY USA will NOT ship some handguns to Maryland

      My daughter tried to buy a Sig P365 Rose from Midway USA today and got an error message that they cannot ship it to Maryland because it's not on the handgun roster. It took about a minute to google MD Handgun Roster and look up the Sig which is on the roster. Out of curiosity I added a Colt...

      Anyone interested in selling some gun stuff at a Gun Show? February 3,4,5, 2023

      Years ago I was acquiring too much gun stuff. My plan was to get a table at a few gun shows. Great plan until I ran out of stuff to sell! I met some great people who connected with the type of things I had. Vendors got to know me and would come around as I unpacked my stuff hoping to get first...

      Has anybody been to the Fred Bear Archery Museum or heard of Mike Elchin

      Has anybody been to the Fred Bear archery museum? I think it closed in 2003 and was bought by Bass Pro. Some of the items and his trophies were displayed in one of the Bass Pro stores. Mainly I'm interested in bows made by a bowyer named Mike Elchin. Mr. Elchin lived in Portage, PA. Mike told me...

      Re-cut Checkering Tool

      When I'm fixing up stocks, sometimes the checkering needs fixed up. The diamonds are flattened or missing and worn, the borders are shallow and not even. I've used a curved checkering file from Brownells in the past but it is only good for fixing a few spots and makes a messy job. I want to buy...

      1873 Uberti or Winchester?

      I'm looking for a Winchester 1873 Rifle. Both the Uberti (Cimmeron/Taylor...) and the new Winchester Miroku ones are nice. The Winchesters seem to be a couple hundred $ more than the Uberti. So is there any pros or cons to either the new Winchester or Uberti 1873 as far as quality or function...

      Successful Gun Collecting and Buying

      I want to share my experience and thoughts to some of the new or younger gun enthusiast. My two main rules are #1 only buy what you really like or if it's really cheap and easy to sell. If you really like it you won't be in a hurry to sell it and you won't sell it cheap. #2 This is very...
