Here is a little write up on how I personally clean and preserve military stocks. If you have been around surplus rifles at all, you know that when you first get one they are normally greasy and dirty. Here are some things that I do to help clean them up. They may not be the correct way, but this is what I do for the stuff in my collection. I am going to write this in an order from most harmless to a fully aggressive cleaning. I try to avoid sanding a stock because when you sand out a ding, you are sanding out history. You never know where a little bump or bruise came from, it could have been from being bumped in an arsenal or it could be from being dropped in a bat…

Hoping to get some conversation going on lever guns, likes, dislikes, opinions. Own three levers, first was a Henry all weather 30/30, purchased to deer hunt with my cousin, not a lot to say about this one, classic deer gun, installed a 1-4 scope, rubber sling to minimize slipping, very accurate, three hunts two deer, this was the rifle that started the obsession. Second purchased was a Henry .357, side gate, round barrel, blued receiver. Buckhorn sights and I just don’t get along, started with a skinner peep, had to install a taller front sight, just couldn’t get that zero even with the taller front sight. Switched to a Ranger Point Precision peep, sits lower, …

how are you guys shipping guns out of state? Are you going through an FFL or shipping to a FFL as I see conflicting things online?

I'm considering keeping mine in the back of my Jeep Wrangler. Per NJ law, it would have to be stored unloaded. Does anyone know how that is defined? Can I keep it in a backpack with a couple of loaded mags in a separate pouch on that same backpack? How about with a mag inserted, but no round chambered?

Cleaning the M1A today and noticed a tiny black plastic part that I don't recognize. I cannot figure out where, if anywhere, it goes, except for maybe on the left side of the receiver. It's also entirely possible it's something random laying around on my bench (or maybe from a different firearm?). Anyone have any ideas? IMG_5451.HEIC IMG_5450.HEIC IMG_5452.HEIC

https://www.keltecweapons.com/firearm/rifles/sub2000/ This is HUGE. It also has an improved trigger and charging handle. MSRP $500. Would be interesting to see how this reviews. It really improves the value of the carbine and makes aftermarket upgrades far less needed.

It'll mostly be used at the 300 yard range at my club but I would like to make it at least possible to hit a 12" plate with it at 1000 yds (at my friends range in NC). I want the gun to be capable, whether or not I am might be a different story. Is the 24" stainless stock sporter barrel good enough? This gun has been a safe queen since 1998, no more than 100 rounds though it total, would seem a shame to rebarrel it, I'll probably buy a new gun in that case. There are a LOT of chassis options and the prices are all over the place. I don't understand all of the various bedding methods. I know what the terms are but I don't know what differences in accuracy you g…

Greetings all, Will be picking up my new Weatherby Vanguard in 6.5 CM this week and plan on getting to the range shortly after. I'm new to the rifle scene, and purchased this mainly to have some fun at medium distances at the range, but also would like to plan my first hunting trip come the fall as well. Before I set out to shoot with it over the next week or 2, just wanted to ask if there is a proper break in technic one should do for the barrel? It's #2 contour, 24 inch, and I'll be adding on a JCB Solutions 3 port mini break (already have it). Any pointers so I can make sure I get the most out of this rifle would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys What nj legal muzzle comp/ brake would you recommend for a long range set up AR10 in 6.5 creedmoor? I'm running a LMT MWS with a 20 inch barrel. I run the JP large format brake on my 6.5 Grendel and it has less recoil and muzzle rise than my 5.56, so I'm considering that one, but would like to hear your recommendations. Thanks!

dunno if this is the right place or not. anyway, i took the gsg 522 out the other night. it acted up a little, and i could see it was due to being kinda dirty....which is surprising 'cause i've only got 200 rounds max through it. anyway, took it apart, cleaned the bolt carrier, lubed everything, and reassembled. it will hand-cycle now, which was iffy before cleaning. but......it won't eject the chambered round. i can see the extractor looking in place and ok......but it's not grabbing the rim. any suggestions on what i fooked up before i take it to a 'smith? thanks guys!

Can anyone tell me if this Ruger American Magpul Hunter Bolt Action Rifle is Legal in NJ? Im not sure about the muzzle. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1029983884#carousel-modal-view-item

Anyone have a JAKL or know any dealers who carry them?

Just wanted to say, I picked up an x95 a couple months ago, and put around 1,000 rounds through it. With a few minor modifications (Manticore Arms butt plate and gas port cover), and a Holosun optic/magnifier, this thing is so freakin' fun to shoot. Everyone tells me they don't like bullpups for some reason, but I love my x95!

ok......checked midway and brownells. both don't seem to have 10 round m1a mags. anyone know where i can find a few at reasonable price? i'd prefer the normal 20 rounders blocked to make em nj legal, but either way would work......

This thing looks like it should be a lot of fun and it takes Glock mags. Anyone know if or when they will hit the shelves? https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/new-for-2023-smith-wesson-response-carbine/

Does my upper have to be shipped to a gunsmith if I purchase one that isn't immediately nj legal? Can an upper be illegal if detached from the lower? Every upper I want comes with "illegal" muzzle devices.

gold color, 100 year anniversary 30-30 lever gun. good shape. no rust spots, wood all looks pretty decent. what do they go for?

Anyone have any experience with this brand? I'm looking to purchase a complete 6mm arc upper to add to switch onto my 5.56 ar. https://www.grendelhunter.com/product/18″-6mm-arc-upper-with-black-cerakote-barrel/#configuration I'm currently looking at this.

Got an email this morning which I think is an announcement. At least it's the first I heard about it. M&P® FPC | Smith & Wesson (smith-wesson.com)

I’ve seen mostly positive reviews of the SUB2000. I’ve always been kinda leary of Kel-Tec because of quality control issues they’ve had in the past. Has any of y’all owned a SUB2000 and what did you think of it?

Got my Noreen ULR today.

This looks interesting I wonder about the accuracy with a moving barrel. its a little pricey .
