Solutions for your firearm problems
When you run into an issue with a firearm, figuring out the next course of action can be a challenge. Even if it doesn’t occur to you to take a step back and ask: “What are firearms, anyway?,”the question is one that's well worth asking.
By definition, a firearm is a mechanical device designed for the purpose of shooting projectiles through a tube, with gunpowder or another explosive component acting as the catalyst. Remembering the underlying concepts involved may help you figure out what ails your weapon.
Modern day firearms can typically be broken down into three groups of components:
- The action – This area is where the main function of the firearm takes place, with the parts responsible for loading, firing, and expelling shells.
- The stock – This component is intended to be the support structure for the weapon
- The barrel – This is the tube through which the projectiles are fired
Gun owners understand the value of responsible care for their firearms, but getting help when you need it isn’t always possible. Whether you need maintenance information, repair tips, or even an appraisal for value, the firearms Experts on JustAnswer are available anywhere you have internet access. They’ll also work with you on your schedule.
You can even ask follow-up questions, and approve payment only when you’re completely satisfied.
