      Quick question on out of state gun buys

      Sellers are going to expect payment before releasing and shipping the gun to you. They will also require some legal ID for you like your Indiana Drivers License as stated by 223 Gunner in the last post. The seller's FFL will need the ID and license number for your FFL that will be receiving the...

      Gunsmithing: DIY Camo - LOTS OF PICTURES

      I've got a Mosberg Pump that was in my basement that flooded years ago. I've never been able to stop the rust from showing up in the cracks and corners of the gun. I think I'll try doing a camo project on this gun. Maybe the paint and epoxy will keep oxygen away from the metal so the gun will...

      No Dry Firing, But.....

      I've heard dry firing center fire guns did no harm but, you should not dry fire rimfire guns. I never understood why one should not dry fire rimfire guns. Can anyone explain why dry firing harms the rimfire gun?

      Richmond Gun and Knife Show Dec. 15th & 16th

      How many tables does this show usually have? I've thought about driving down there from Fort Wayne...just curious about the size of this show before burning up the gas for the trip. THX!

      Thoughts on 22LR semi auto handgun ?

      The modern Ruger .22's are hard to beat for price and performance. However, if you want a pleasurable experience for target and pllnking, then any of the older High Standard .22's can be a pleasureable experience for you. Just buy one that is in good condition and examine it like you would for...

      Funny?

      I know it was meant to be funny but the subject of firearms and learning about firearms just doesn't have room for pranks, especially when played on a novice. Save the pranks for the experts and find out how they will react to the joke.

      The future of gun shows.

      I get a lot of pleasure attending gun shows. I have my favorites and some shows that are not so good. I don't usually buy guns. Mostly I find a part that I need; an old home gunsmithing book for a great price; and even a gun sometimes. There is plenty of time for good conversation that is not...

      Best Pocket Carry .22lr Pistol

      I have one more .22 LR pocket pistol that I bought a few months ago. It is the Smith & Wesson model 61 Escort. This gun is smaller, thinner, and lighter than my Beretta Bobcat. You can see some good pictures of the gun on Google Images. It has a unique design. The barrel is not in the slide. The...

      Best Pocket Carry .22lr Pistol

      I have a Beretta Bobcat .22 LR that I like. I did invest in an additional magazine. The extra width in the grip area helps to have a good feel in my hand with such a small gun. I think the width is right at 1 inch. As mentioned by RCNZAK earlier, the Beretta Bobcat prefers a copper coated...

      individual shipping firearms

      The reason for the Next Dayv Air shipment has nothing to do with ATF regs. It is UPS that wants your gun(s) shipped by them via UPS Next Day Air because they want to reduce the risk of theft. UPS wants the firearm delivered to you or for you as fast as possible. There was quite a lot of theft in...

      Have you ever accidentally laughed when you see a gun price.

      More that once, I tried negotiating with Gander Mountain's online Customer Service as I tried to make an offer on a used handgun. They have never responded to my emails...never! Their website even tells you to contact them regarding questions about the firearm being offered for sale

      individual shipping firearms

      UPS and Fedex are the only two shippers left in the USA that will ship a hand gun for us. As already mentioned here earlier by 96amair, the US Postal Service will no longer ship handguns, but they still ship rifles. I think UPS will now only ship handguns Next day Air, and you do need to tell...

      Selling on Gunbroker

      All of the gun auction sites have very good instructional help to explain all of the steps for buying or selling, including legal issues. I was just on Gunbroker last night reading the informational pages. You can print out whatever side of the sale (buy or sell)you need. Give it a look.

      Dime A Dozen @ Gun Shows

      I enjoy hunting in the corners of the tables, or inside the old glass covered display case for my favorite old High Standard .22 semi automatic pistols. Sometimes I find an old Model B or HB worth negotiating for but not often. Most of the HD-Military models are too high priced, or too rusty and...

      Dime A Dozen @ Gun Shows

      i enjoy walking the gun shows looking and looking. I find most item priced higher that I would expect in retail, especially ammo and accessories. I also find most guns showing prices higher than expected but the vendor seems willing to negotiate down much faster than in retail, especially on...

      Had a Clint Eastwood moment today

      I think you need to invest in some Magnum Tire Spikes for your road so that your children and wife will always have the bread winner at home.

      Where do you buy most of your guns?

      Armslist.com, gunbroker.com, local gun shops, and from gun show vendors and individuals selling in the aisle at gun shows. I intend to try a local auction this weekend in Hoagland if I can get all of the details and the list of guns being offered for the auction.

      What to buy from Gander Mountain

      I too go online to look at Gander Mountain's selection of used firearms. The price for the used gun is usually way over priced and there is no way to get them to reduce the price. I have wrote to their Customer Service to make an offer on a used pistol but they never replied. I found a High...

      Moving My Private Gun Collection

      This is a question rather than additional suggestion about transporting your guns. How did you come to the decision to settle on The Madison area to retire? I lived in North Georgia for 17 years and loved it. I am now retired and live in Indiana and also came to like Indiana. I live in Fort...
