I recently acquired an 03A3 made at the Rock Island Arsenal. It came from the factory with a sporterized stock and I was wondering if anyone knows any good sources to purchase an original military stock. Thanks.

I'm looking for a nice place to go hiking for a few days. Looking for a unique area that is fishing accessible and that would have a waterfall. I live in Illinois and I'm looking to take a trip out of state but somewhere close like Wisconsin or Michigan. Any ideas would be helpful.

I was planning on doing a few backpacking trips solo this summer. I've been told that if I'm going alone, I should carry a gun with me- its sad, but single female hikers get attacked. Would it be considered a consealed weapon to carry a handgun in my pack?

Need advise. We are looking for a large tent to camp in for 2+ weeks. We also want to have air conditioning in the tent.

It will be in July so the weather will be VERY hot.

What is the largest tent availble that will feel more like a vacation home and can have a portable airconditioning system connected??

thanks

Ok when I've sold handguns in the past I have received payment from buyer and shipped to an FFL, and they took it from there. What if I just want to sell a handgun to an individual? Is there anything I have to do, any paperwork? Is this legal?

I am not one of those wiry guys with small hands and feet that can fit into any crack or grab any ledge. My hands and feet are huge and I find myself having difficulty with some of the holds that my friends have no problem using. I am still a beginner (i.e. no lead climbing yet), but I was very happy with myself when I did an average 5.11 last year. I probably would have difficulty doing it again though :-) Any tips?

Love the Glock subcompacts, but I actually shoot very little and looking for something less expensive. What are your thoughts on a solid, reliable, and easily concealable semi auto in 9mm or .40?

I recently purchased a Model 629 Revolver and i was talking to my friend father which used to be a gun smith. He told me that Smith & Wesson revolvers loose there timing after awhile and that some even come from the factory with bad timing. Is this true?, i even heard that the quality of Smith & Wesson revolvers are quiet poor. Has any one had any experience with any of these problems?.

Thanks, Roger.

I am going camping for a few nights next week at a campground that isn't the safest in the world, not like we have to worry about humans, but rather coyotes and the like. The park manager said no guns, so what can we have that is concealable to prtect purselvs against coyotes and the like.

I fish in a salt-water lake. And the water is usually brown.

Some people have told me that the appropriate color depends on the weather (i.e. sun/fog/rain etc.). And some people tell me it depends on the water color. What should I believe?

I want to be able to scrub and wash my gun. I hate to do the tedious cleaning with just solvent. If I dry it and oil it, do I still run the risk of rusting it up? Although I want any easier way to clean it, I want to make sure I am doing what is best for it. Any lifelong gun owners with some advice?
