I was cleaning the rifle and I must have pulled the slide back just a little too far and now it won't close. After I could not get it to close I broke the gun down to see if I could determine the problem. No luck yet, and I dont want to force it. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Every time I empty a mag the slide doesn't lock back. It's every mag I own, not just one particular one so the mags aren't he problem. I keep the pistol lubricated and it's just about to hit a year old so it's still pretty much new. I use winchestor ball ammo at the range so my ammo isn't bottom line either. Is this something I'm going to have to take to a gunsmith?

one time me and a friend were going shooting shotguns, i was walking in front of him on a trail. i heard a click and i looked back. he was staring at me like he'd seen a ghost. he had acidentally pulled the trigger on his rem. 870 12 guage, while it was loaded, and while it was pointing at my leg. we pulled the shell out of his gun and sure enough the primer was struck, but it had not gone off. the shells were new and a reputable brand. i've never seen anything like it since. have you?

Just wondering if it would be a good idea to take the bullet part off from the shell(part with the gun powder)

I ask only because I keep maintain and use my survival kit on a regular basis. The most dangerous hunts I do are hound hunts where I wait for fresh snow and head for the highest altitude I can drive to then hike in on foot. Also these hunts are done at night. I have spent many nights in the cold looking for my hounds and making my way back to my truck. Anyways I recently looked online for a list of items and could not find anyone who had a good list. The reason I say this is either they have way to much to carry, or not enough to survive, and lastly not one single kit contained toilet paper. Not one! I don't go in the woods with out TP. I call it mountain money. All kidding aside though, what is in your backpack and what activity do you participate in that requires you to have such a kit? Can you carry your bag comfortably over miles of rough country with no roads or trails? I have found that my pack has evolved over the years and varies slightly from season to season. Oregon hunter

What is the biggest animal you have killed with these rounds? I am just curious because today I was reading about a man who hunted elk with a .22-250 and a man who killed many elephants with the '06. Thanks for the input.

I am in the process of buying my first AR. I have been looking and am wondering about the barrel options. Please give some insight on chrome lined vs stainless vs non lined barrels. I am intrested in accuracy, and barrel life. Also if any of you have any optics ideas for a target/varmint rifle, let me know. What do you think about the super sniper optics line. The rifle's I am looking at are in the Bushmaster and DPMS line. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello. I am wanting a new deer hunting rifle. I was wanting a NEF. I was mostly interested in the 270 and 25-06. (but im open to any suggestions) I would like to know how they shoot if you have shot one or know somebody who owns one or you own one, please give me all the feedback about it you have. I have read mixed reviews but most of them were positive. I hunt whitetail mostly in the woods. sometimes in an old road or open area. please just tell me what you think about NEF, a 25-06 and a 270. Which one do you think would be better for whitetail deer? O ya, dont tell me that NEF doesnt have a 25-06, because they do. Which one do you think is a better deer gun? 25-06 or 270???

Once a year I make a habit to buy a knife for my collection of them (most of them are either old past downs from my Dad or are just cheap "Frost Cutlery brand" knifes!) and so when I went to the flea market for $70.00 there was a guy trying to sell me a K-Bar. But I didn't get it but instead got a cheap Frost Cutlery $20.00 knife set (2 knifes in all)!

I know that K-Bar's are a real quality knife (perfect for gutting deer!) that the military uses but for that kind of money I want the real K-Bar, not a cheap made in China replica.


Thanks for all the help in advance.

I use a Browning 7mm Remington Mag out in Colorado on elk hunts. It has a stainless steel barrel and a fiberglass stock. I get really upset when a branch or my binoculars hit the stock and make noise. I would imagine the glare off the barrel would alert wildlife of my presence as well. I want something to put on the barrel and stock that will reduce glare and noise. Whatever the product is, it needs to be lightweight, will not build up moisture between itself and the gun, and can be removed easily. Anyone know of a product that fits my description?

That is the link to the latest story I found. What happen is some cops decided to shoot a rat snake, didn't check where they were, and ended up killing a five-year-old little boy. This makes me sick on so many different levels. Don't they teach cops basic gun safety? Don't they know the basic rule of what comes up must come down? If they just HAD to kill a harmless snake, why didn't they use the shot gun in their trunk? What would possess anyone to try to shoot a snake with a 40 cal handgun?!?! Four grown men at this scene, and not a half a brain to be found? My 15 year old would know better!! Still no release of names of the cops, good thing it wasn't a private citizen. So much wrong with this whole thing, why hasn't there been a huge public out-cry? Any thoughts from others?

My father has a reproduction of a Steyr Mannlicher M95 that I would like to take out and shoot for fun. I do not know if it has ever been fired, my father told me he got it at a gun show and has never fired it himself. I am no expert but it seems to be working, all the parts move smoothly and look solid, and the barrel looks strait and clear. What do I need to do to make sure it is in working order and around how much will it cost?
