      Marlin 357 and 45-70 price guess

      I'm probably going to buy a marlin lever in 357 and 45-70 from a guy pre Remington but fairly new (mid 2000's probably) they're in good condition. The interwebbs say 550-750. Can anyone make a good argument that the higher end of that range is the right price? No octogon barrels here.

      What's Changed?

      Newton Conn happened and gun control was front and center. AR 15s were a hot topic and potential bans were floated. Shops sold out and bare bones mp-sports were going up in the classifieds here for $1250. We now have a similar massacre; similar noise for gun control and tv personalities...

      Marlin 357 or 45?

      A buddy of mine passed away a couple years ago. I asked his wife if I could buy one of his rifles off her as a keep sake. She offered to sell me a cowboy in 45 or 38/357. Either is fine with me; more of a remembrance than anything I'd actively shoot. That said if I did want to turn into a...

      Do you guys raise your red dot above your fixed front site or let the dot overlap? I put a super goofy 1 inch rail in to raise it above the front site and a guy at mid west looked at me like I had two heads for doing it...I took it off and the overlap is something to get used to but I'll site...

      Dumb question

      Just to clarify, for me to legally buy a can to strap on to my pea shooter, I have to get fingerprinted pay a 200$ fee fill out some forms and track down a guy with a license to sell one to me? Am I missing anything? Sorry for any redundancy or FAQ overlap from this noob.

      how to clean a rifle

      I just finished shooting a few new (new to me) guns yesterday and have a few questions about how/when you clean your rifles. I bought a winchester 30/30 off another indgoer and shot 20 rounds. Is it important to clean it (i'm not quite sure how to on this one) after so few rounds? If so does...

      Ruger 10/22

      I'm thinking about picking up a Ruger 10/22 tomorrow. I've seen in the classifieds some ask if the ruger for sale is a "heavy barrel". Are all ruger's made the same other than stainless and blued now or is there a more advanced version? It seems to be the best 22 rifle out there when it comes...
