The first thing you should do is figure out what you are interested in.

WW2 Rifles? WW1 Rifles? Military handguns? Cowboy guns? Pre-WW2 sporting arms? Cold war era guns?

This forum is OK for general C&R info, but there are others that are more specialized for specific types.

The Gunboards forums are good, with specific boards for most types of rifles:
http://forums.gunboards.com/index.php

Same goes for Surplus Rifle Forum:
http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/

My opinions, the best Mosin Nagant forum is Gunboards, the best Enfield forum is Surplus Rifle Forum, the best Japanese rifle forum is also Gunboards.

The Best Mauser forum for general topics is Gunboards, the best German Mauser specific board is k98kforum.com

I haven't looked much for US rifles, but I expect the best would be the CMP forums. http://forums.thecmp.org/

Depending on where you live, there may also be regional forums of interest. Calguns is the prime example, they have an excellent general C&R forum. Regional forums can also be a good place to find guns for sale locally.

Remember, Google is your friend.
