      Maverick 88 - Finding a shorter/smaller stock

      Thanks for the suggestions everyone. We'll be looking into each of them and see what works best for her. I think she's leaning toward the 20 gauge options. But, I'm gonna give her as many options as possible!

      Maverick 88 - Finding a shorter/smaller stock

      Hello Everyone, My fiance' is having some trouble with finding a correctly sized shotgun - she's expressed interest in going to the clay range with my group of friends; however, we all have shotguns that are for full-sized individuals. She's about 5'2" and maybe 115lbs. She's tried them...

      New Tyler Firearms Website

      Website looks great! A stark contrast to some others. I love being able to check what's in stock online. I'm a fair drive from you, so it's nice to take a peak before hopping in the car.

      Internet-only Gun Stores vs. Local Gun Shops

      I respectfully disagree. I can eliminate that feeling by not shopping at that particular shop in favor of another. It might not dissuade me completely from the purchase, but it will be a negative mark for the shop. The fact that this thread has become so 'popular' indicates what a threat that...

      Internet-only Gun Stores vs. Local Gun Shops

      My turn to weigh in! I don't think this is a particularly new debate, every mom & pop store next to a Wal-Mart has unfortunately had this debate dropped squarely in their laps, but for gun shops I think it is especially reliant on that umbrella term known as "Customer Service". No one goes to...

      Bolt-Action Cleaning

      Thanks guys! I got a lot of solid information. So far I've accumulated a whole lot of items and information. In case anyone is curious I went with a Dewey Rod / Parker Hale Jags, Nylon Brush for aforementioned rod, guide rod, Snake and cotton patches. I'm still picking out my everyday cleaner...

      Bolt-Action Cleaning

      It is new production; at least for the moment, until I am more comfortable with cleaning.

      Bolt-Action Cleaning

      Yeah, but I trust you all a little more than the 100 other posters on another website. We'll see! I'm more concerned with doing something wrong versus not doing something the 'perfect' way.

      Bolt-Action Cleaning

      Hello Everyone! I've got a few questions about cleaning a bolt-action rifle. I bought a 1903a3 off a shooter here. It is my first rifle, and I thought the cleaning/maintenance would be fairly simple, like my handguns. Well, I was wrong. There is certainly far more involved with this than I...

      1903A3 Info Request

      Something I'm having a little bit of trouble with is the refurb v. original v. re-bore(d)rifles I'm seeing advertised and spoken about here. Would you say that the refurbs or 'mismatched' rifles are worth the investment? I may not want a perfect original, but I certainly don't want a POS...

      1903A3 Info Request

      I think i'm looking for more of a shooter than a perfect original. I'm not set on having everything be perfect. I suppose the problem is that I'm not entirely sure how these factors all play in to one another and how that affects price. Up until this reply I was reasonably sure that I could find...

      1903A3 Info Request

      It seems as though a lot of you have gotten them from gun shows, which I'm sure may be my best bet of finding one outside of the internet. I'm quite happy to say that I'm expecting to pay less than I thought for one. I appreciate all of your responses. I'll try and look for the original...

      1903A3 Info Request

      I thank you all for the responses so far. I'll try and hit points 1 by 1, if I can. Mopar92: I'll definitely take a look at the James River Armory re-furbs. Modern rifles are quite good and dandy, but I'm not really looking into a hunting rifle; more so a nostalgia piece that I can still...

      1903A3 Info Request

      Hello Fellow Shooters! For quite some time, I've been entertaining the idea of hunting for a 1903A3 rifle as my first 'long gun'. I own other guns and shot plenty rifles, but currently do not own a rifle of any kind. It has been a childhood dream of mine and I love the look of the wood. Now...

      SBY Bayshore Livescan no go

      Actually, Yes. The livescan station is like any other computer, it needs a certain package of software to be installed to properly submit the fingerprints as an to the state police as an HQ/ in the required format. A state police technician was supposed to install the software package, but in...

      SB0584: Public Safety - Handgun Identification Requirements - Repeal

      I find it very surprising that this wasn't repealed as soon as it was determined to be useless presently. Simply, it is quite implausible that the casings could be match at all. Pre-sale ballistic fingerprinting, to my knowledge, has never led to a conviction. (feel free to correct me) That is...

      Your first handgun?

      Sig 229 Enhanced Elite .40/.357 SIG I love the quality. It is extremely reliable and durable. The fact that is a a beautiful gun is a bonus.

      live scan locations

      I had mine done in the Glenarden Police Dept. The lady there was extremely helpful. Got my HQL issued the day after. Total cost was $54.50 My understanding of the pricing system is that institutions will charge a set fee for the service of taking the fingerprints, which varies. In my case this...
