      Remington 660 main spring removal issues

      Gents: I have an old Remington 660 in .308 (from what I can tell, its essentially a 600) that the father in law left me and I was getting light primer strikes. When I took the bolt apart, I noted that the main spring was covered with rust, as well as inside the bore it rides in within the bolt...

      Remington 1100 magnum barrel with screw in chokes

      All: I tried asking this on MDS a year or so ago, but searching Ebay every few weeks hasn't turned up much. My father in law left us with a beautiful 70's remington 1100 in great shape. It has the magnum barrel (30" 12ga with a fixed full choke). I've been told it's a "flyover gun" from when...

      How to shoot steel through 70's Remington 1100

      All: I recently came into possession of a 1970's model 1100 from my late father in law. It is a really pretty gun, in excellent shape. He always told me it was his "go to" goose gun. However, I can only assume that was back before the steel mandates for migratory bird hunting. I have to be...

      glock 20 not going into battery fully

      Gents: I have an 80% g20 that I finished up recently. I ended up with a rock slide usa windowed upper, a lone wolf alphawolf barrel, a wolff recoil spring and guide rod, and basically stock upper/lower parts kits. Originally I was having a problem where the round wouldn't fully seat when...

      6.5 grendel available anywhere?

      Gents: Built a nice 6.5 grendel over last winter, I picked up a few rounds of hornaday 123g at the time because why not. Now I am regretting not getting more. All I can find ANYWHERE is wolf steel cased 100g (which I am not going to shoot through this rifle). Does anyone know how one...

      Ar-10 308 extractors

      Gents: Got a dpms 308 that ate an extractor early in my ownership while shooting steel cased ammo (dont do that anymore obviously). DPMS was great about it, and sent a replacement free of charge, but with all the BS coming down the pipeline I'm thinking having a replacement on hand wouldn't...

      1911, is this an original 1943?

      Gents: Recently picked up a 1911 from an old friend. He seemed to think the pistol wasn't an original, as he was convinced it had "a Springfield frame". After doing some research, the frame has a Remington Rand serial number, and I think his confusion stemmed from the crossed cannons logo (the...

      Camping laws in MD for non state parks

      Gents: I can't find any information on camping in MD lands that aren't specifically state parks, but still state land. Things like wildlife management Ares, or natural environment areas. They allow hiking and hunting, but I'm assuming it's not allowed to do "primitive camping". Is that...

      Register boat without title

      I have a bead on a flat backed canoe but it doesn't have a title. If I put a motor on it I am aware I need registration stickers. When it comes to MD, I am aware that for cars they are dicks and without a title you are just screwed. Does this same thing hold true for boats?

      gunsmith recommendations within an hour of annapolis?

      Gents: I have an old marlin 55 bolt action 12 gauge that my grandfather left me. I don't really have much use for it as a bird gun, but it would make a passable slug gun. I wouldn't mind doing a side mount or cantilever mount for a low powered optic. Does anyone have any recommendations...

      How much play in a mosins forend is typical

      Gents: I just picked up an m91/30 and was fooling around with it. It needs a non-bent up rear barrel band, and I tightened the stock screws as much as I felt comfortable doing without stripping the holes. However, if you grab the end of the barrel and put any force on the stock, the...

      Decent dirtbike trails with camping nearby in md?

      Gents: I want to get into the adventure bike game. The goal is to take a street legal dirtbike, load it down with basic camping gear, and ride it out to some trails and take it into the woods to do some camping. There are certainly some opportunities out in western MD and a few in...

      anyone have suggestions on where to find a beretta whitewing?

      Gents: I know this isn't the classifieds, but I have been searching for a beretta whitewing (need a less expensive, capable o/u for 90% clays with the odd 10% field days in poor weather), but I cant find hardly any. There is like one on armslist, and frankly my faith in personal transactions...

      tasers legality in annapolis

      The quality of information online is kind of junk, so I just wanted to clarify it here: I see claims that tasers are "illegal in Annapolis". Does that mean you can't own one? Can't have one shipped to you? Can't carry one? Can't use one? Basically, how illegal is illegal? Also why the **** would...

      first hunt, now I'm gun-confused

      Greetings gents: I went for my first goose hunt saturday in St Marys county, and damn was it a blast. Although we weren't planning on snow (and that combined with no white clothes combined with 30 mph winds meant we didn't get more than one or two decent shots) it was easily the most fun thing...

      old american army rifle identification (no pictures, sorry)

      Hey guys, I was shooting with some friends at the carrol county firearms facility yesterday (incidentally, excellent place that comes highly recommended by me) and someone there had an incredible looking old rifle. Didn't talk to him much but it was slightly stubby, had a heat shield, was a 30...

      stupid question on muzzle brakes

      hay guise: This is a stupid question and I know lots of you will have plenty to say about this but I am curious. My DPMS LRT-SASS (long name for the tacticool ar10 that dpms sells) is more or less bone stock. I have no issues with the gun, but the damned thing already weighs a squillion lbs...

      another ar10 mag question: feed lips too big?

      Hey guys: have a DPMS ar10. It came with two dpms mags, and I bought two more from cheaperthandirt a while back (to the tune of 50 a piece, ouch). I noticed that when I compared them side by side it seemed the feed lips did not extend as far forward as the stock ones and seemed to be wider...

      simpson side by side?

      Hey guys: a friend of mine who is a fan of older SXSs told me that he found a fair amount of simpson side by side 12 gauges on gunsinternational. They look pretty as heck for the price. My question would be, does anyone know anything about them? Reliability/dependability? can they shoot...
