      Transporting Shotgun in Compact Car

      Hello, If I am transporting a shotgun in a compact car with both rear seats folded down, do I need to store the shotgun in a locked case as well as the ammo in separate locked case? Is it ok to have the ammo in the trunk? The gun case is so long that it goes all the way from the back of the...

      How and when to join NSCA?

      I have been shooting sporting clays and like it quite a bit and was thinking of joining a league. I see that there are lots of NSCA shoots in the area but I am unsure when a good time to start participating in them would be from a skill standpoint. Also how does registration for these...

      First Time Shooting Handgun in Many Years, Seeking Advice

      25 Feet for all shots, same target (I had 5 copies of the same silhouette). With my practice pistol, I shoot about 20 feet. Also I am right handed and had not yet heard/read about gripping to tight, I will have lots to try the next time around. If anyone else has tips, the more the...

      First Time Shooting Handgun in Many Years, Seeking Advice

      It had been about fire years since I had shot a semi automatic pistol and wanted to get back into it. I purchased a laser lyte practice pistol and LED target with the pistol being modeled after a glock 19 I think (link). After reading a handgun shooting guide I got to the point with the...

      Question on Cleaning Full Choke Shotgun

      Yes, 12 rounds with 25 shots. I did not think it was a lot until I went to check out/pay and the gentlemen cashing me out made me repeat it 3 times to be sure. The browning cynergy is my first o/u and I am loving it so far, it has very minimal felt recoil. My shoulder id hardly sore. Oddly my...

      Question on Cleaning Full Choke Shotgun

      Yes this is all clays and all trap. I usually will start with my modified barrel and then once I get in a groove start using my full choke barrel. Today I shot 12 rounds of trap and my barrel was caked pretty good. I was using winchester super x. This was my second time at trap in over a...

      Question on Cleaning Full Choke Shotgun

      I have an O/U with threaded removable chokes (browning cynergy) that I usually shoot with a full choke in one barrel and a modified in the other. I have 2 12g cleaning jags I use to push a patch down the barrel, one is solid brass but is very loose/not snug. The other is aluminum but has 3...

      When to Re-Blue A Barrel

      Thank you for the thoughtful response and no offense taken, I love constructive criticism. I was concerned about the gun rusting out or suffering some other sort of defect as a result of the blemishes more so than resale or keeping is pristine. I do appreciate the reminder though that it...

      Canada exploring “complete ban”

      What are handguns more legislated than long guns? Is it a concealment thing?

      When to Re-Blue A Barrel

      While putting my long gun back in the safe I lightly bumped the barrel against the safe and and now the barrel has some very small silver looking scratches. Do I need to have the barrel re-blued? Or will be keeping the gun wiped down with silicon cloth before putting it up be enough to...

      10/22 Bolt Lock Stuck After Clening

      I ended up calling ruger. I had watched their online assembly video which neglected a key detail which was to make sure the ejector bar is forward, mine was back when I reassembled it. Suffice it to say I damaged it and they are sending me a new one. I need to RTFM more carefully next time.

      10/22 Bolt Lock Stuck After Clening

      I took apart my ruger 10/22 for its first cleaning and upon putting it back together cannot seem to get the bolt to release. I had the bolt locked back when I started cleaning it but it released when I took the trigger group off. I was supposed to have the bolt release when I started so that...
