      How much was your first handgun?

      My first handgun was an old Spanish S&W clone from Eibar in .32-20. The first one I purchased was a 3rd Gen Glock 22 for 575 OTD a little over a year ago.

      Custom rear sight for Rem. 700

      So I am building a pseudo scout rifle on a 700 action, and I'm trying to figure out what to do for a rear sight. I'm debating between modifying an a2 rear sight or an old 1903a3 rear sight. The front sight will be an Enfield Jungle Carbine reproduction. Any thoughts?

      Pros/cons of certain shotgun modifications.

      Does any one have experience porting, back-boring, or forcing cone honing shotguns? I'm thinking of doing some of these modifications to an 870 express with a cut down vent rib barrel.

      Need help finding gunsmithing schools or courses in Indiana

      I am currently attending Wabash Valley College in Mt. Carmel, Illinois for Gunsmithing. They're just across the wabash river from Indiana and offer tuition discounts for certain Indiana counties and will give the same discount if you get a place in Mt. Carmel. It's a 1 or 2 year program, 1 year...

      Shotgun Show and Tell

      My 870 express. It's a step down from a Tactical. I painted the stock tan not too long ago. http://s1342.beta.photobucket.com/user/Hank_93/media/photo2.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 http://s1342.beta.photobucket.com/user/Hank_93/media/photo1.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0
