Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms are recommended for California residents who cannot move?

For those living in California and unable to relocate, recommended firearms include M1 Garands, accurate bolt-action rifles (preferably shorter and more manageable), and revolvers in calibers like .38 Special or .357 Magnum, assuming these are legal within the state's regulations.

What are the issues with Archangel stocks for Mosin Nagant rifles?

Reports suggest that Archangel stocks for Mosin Nagant rifles can have problems, particularly with their proprietary 10-round single-stack magazines. Users have experienced feeding issues and magazine failures, indicating potential reliability concerns with this aftermarket accessory.

Who is recommended for restoring antique 1911 pistols?

For restoring antique firearms like a 1918 Colt 1911 US Army .45 ACP, Turnbull Manufacturing is highly recommended. They are known for their expert restoration work and are a Colt-certified refinisher, which helps preserve the firearm's historical value.

Is it safe to shoot cast iron skillets as targets?

Shooting cast iron skillets with firearms, especially powerful ones like a .357 Magnum, is not recommended. Cast iron is brittle and can shatter or crack upon impact, unlike specialized AR500 steel targets designed to withstand such abuse safely.

What is the turnaround time for an SKS trigger job service?

If you send your SKS trigger group to Moss Pawn & Gun for a trigger job, the typical turnaround time is about 3 to 4 days. The service costs $40, which covers labor and return shipping.
