Thanks for answering! I pretty much figured what I would have to do to it, pulling out the old filler, getting the dremmel after it, etc. Just wanting opinions or what others have done to their rifles in the past...repair vs replace. And you're right, with just $50 in it, I can afford to play around...

Cheap and ugly they may be sometime, but if it goes bang, that's what matters. My kids can't wait to shoot it, and in fact my oldest helped me clean it up. Just trying to figure out just what I want to and should do for that stock.

Just picked up an old Springfield 53b (22lr) today for $50. A gun that cheap, I figured I could bring it home and tinker with it at the very least! It had a sort of greyish wrap on it that was peeling so I pulled that mess off and revealed that beneath was a black synthetic finish over the wood. Whe...

Yes, I walk with my youngest to trick or treat while my hubby and parents stay at the house and hand out candy. We make it a nice family night with treats, my fresh baked pumpkin bread and hot apple cider(or cold, depending on the temperature) Its a tradition we love and my kids look forward to. Lot...

When we went to the fair this past week, we walked up, informed them we were chl-ees, they wanted my kids and told us to go see the officer inside the gate after paying. We walked over to her, my husband handed his chl to her and a moment later I handed her mine. She then says, "You have one to...

I have had this issue, as my DL has my maiden name as my middle name(real middle name isnt even listed) but my chl has my actual middle name. When I had handed them to the guy at the gun shop the last time I was there to make a purchase he looked at em and said I could use one or the other...as he d...

As far as I know they weren't doing $300 life memberships. I did get mine for $25 instead of the regular $35. That was fine by me.

We went yesterday. The NRA did have a booth where you could sign up/renew memberships. I got a free NRA Sports pin and a free hat for renewing my membership. Oh and as a side note Matt and Jessie from Friends of NRA were there too. Kinda cool. :). I just wish I could have carried. I carry everywhere...

What I read on the dfw fox 4 site about it was that they sent a letter home explaining the situation and to offer counseling about the ordeal. Counseling? Really? It was a pop tart...in the relative shape of a gun and the boy said bang bang. Ugh. I must say if this happened to either of my boys for....

Most air soft are distinguishable from real guns because they will have orange on them at the end of the barrel. And as long as you are in your house/backyard you should be fine. My kids have their air soft guns in their room and know my rules are that they are only shot outside. They also know mom ...

Both my sons have air soft guns and they play in the backyard with them all the time. While you won't get the same effect of recoil, you can practice safe handling as well as working on your trigger pull and marksmanship. Set up a cardboard box with a target on it as thats all you'll really need. Ai...

Persistence paid off. My husband went back to academy in Arlington today...before they opened. He was 10th in line and he said they opened the doors having about 12 boxes of CCI 22lr(375 Rds. For $24.99.). He got a box...and so did the 9 people in front of him and the two behind him. They say its cr...

Picked up some 9mm at Academy in Arlington today. :woohoo Blazer for $13.99. I got a box as did my husband, as well as a box of Blazer 45. We got there right at 8 when they open and there were lots of people there buying ammo! No 22... They said they had 2 boxes but those left with the first 2 custo...
