question
A question is an utterance which typically functions as a request for information, which is expected to be provided in the form of an answer. Questions can thus be understood as a kind of illocutionary act in the field of pragmatics or as special kinds of propositions in frameworks of formal semantics such as alternative semantics or inquisitive semantics. Questions are often conflated with interrogatives, which are the grammatical forms typically used to achieve them. Rhetorical questions, for example, are interrogative in form but may not be considered true questions as they are not expected to be answered.
I'm bringing a 721 270 back to life and have a question. When the rifle is cocked, returning the safety to safe is pretty stiff. I noticed that the firing pin head moves outward a tad when returned to safe. The safety is having to overcome a bit of main spring tension. Is this normal?
They all came in boxes like this and I was wondering if anyone knows if they are reloads or old production ammo? All appear to be 357 hollow points or 38 with nickle case(?). I've shot this ammo with my grandpa every time I shot his 357 and recently he gave me all the ammo and I just realized...

I have been a permanent resident for almost 10 years now and finally I am applying for US Citizenship. If you have recently received your US Citizenship, please send me a message and I need to ask you about one of the questions in the application. I do not want to make this a public forum...
Seeking a little bit more information on my RIA 45 and 9mm officer models and their extractors:
They are a series 70 I take it. Extractor was stiff to extract without pushing the claw inward to which I could then pull out. I noticed once I had removed it that it was purposely bent or “angled”...
I was digging through some bins out in the garage and came across some 20rd Hungarian AK mags.
I know that typically there is the half moon w/ face stamp or some variation of zeros and twos.
These mags, with the exception of one, only have a circle with an M stamped on the spine. Ever seen...

I have one family car that me and my wife both drive. We both are on the title and registration.
If I apply for a conceal carry permit, the details will get added to my license plate record as well since I have my name on the title. So, if my wife is driving the car and a cop pulls her over...
If purchasing a new firearm and purchasing one from an individual, can you use the same/single background check at a local FFL dealer if doing the deal at the same time?
I've been tasked with making a sub-sonic load for a rifle with a can on it. Does the can add velocity like barrel length does? My gut level instinct says no because the gasses are venting into the can. What say you all with greater experience in such matters. I plan on getting the CV Arms single...
With all the new recently passed firearms laws, is there anything new that makes it illegal to have a fore grip on an AR??
Time sensitive question and any help is appreciated.
I'm looking for the model number for an Uncle Mikes, OWB Pancake Holster what will fit a S&W M&P 2.0 in .45 or 10MM.
I have not been able to find a "fit guide" for Uncle Mikes, if you know where I find that, I'd appreciate the URL
I have both a Model #12 & #16, neither fits the M&P Gen 2...
Hello, Revolver Experts:
Can a S&W K-38 (circa. approx. 1980) handle modern +P loads?
Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I was looking at Sierra's online load data page for .400" bullets...they list a series of .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, and...10 MM FAR??? I'm not familiar with "10 mm FAR"...and a quick google search came up with zilch. Can anyone enlighten me???
So what with the aftermath of the icepocalypse still ongoing the wife has been keeping me appraised of all the looting stories being posted to our various community boards. I told her fine, I will get off my bubblegum and go post the "You loot, we shoot" signs around the neighborhood. She said "No...
I ran into an issue I have not experienced before. Mounting the 10 or so scopes in my collection. I have usually used Vortex, Warne or Night Force rings. A friend of mine gave me a package of new unused Leupold Back Country 34mm I was mounting on my RPR picatinny. Low and behold, they were loose...
I use Sierra .308" 168gr and 155gr MK HPBT bullets, and I am getting great results from them. However, I am not happy about the difference between batches. I buy them in box of 500 and I find difference between batches 0.015-0.020" (OGIVE). If you use the same bullets, did you notice this? I am...

I’m curious how the bgc works with private sales and trades. If you go to a local dealer and have them do the background check for someone purchasing a gun from you, or you from them, does the applicant go into the que with all the other applicants buying new from a dealer?
Hi all,
I have a question.
Is there a specific forum board that is tailored for long range precision or competition long range?
It seems most or all are taking place in South/South East Oregon. I have spoken to a few folks briefly and they mentioned a location that has competition in Bend.
Any...
