I have an 8 3/8" Model 14, a 6 inch Target Masterpiece but only one 10: Four inch pencil barrel nickel.

The pawn shop has to have an FFL to take guns in and has to have the contact info for the person who pawned it. That doesn't mean that person is still there, but it's a start.

Do you know where a transcript or recording can be found?

Hasn't been ruled on by SCOTUS yet. The case contesting the Maryland AW ban, Bianchi v Brown (formerly Bianchi v Frosh) is the most promising contender.

A bit of history: Anti-gun rights campaigns first focused on handguns. By the late 80's that campaign had run out of steam, so an anti-gunner named Josh Sugarmann came up with a new approach to pep up his anti gun organization. From his paper, Assault Weapons and Accessories in America: It will...

It appears that ATF have clarified their position since I tried to get a home based FFL. That's useful information. Thanks for the update.

It's not the cost of the FFL. It's being able to get one. Q – Given that firearms transactions can originate from anywhere in the United States, must a dealer have a fixed premises to buy and sell firearms? A – Yes. Regardless of where a dealer buys and sells firearms, or through which medium...

I was lucky enough to buy a JC Higgins Model 50 as my first centerfire rifle. It's well made, with an FN commercial action and a chrome lined High Standard barrel. They are very accurate. I used to wonder what all the fuss was about sub 1" groups because the Model 50 shot well under an inch with...

Standard 45 ACP ammo is loaded to what would be proof pressures for a Webley. Even if it doesn't blow up, it WILL shoot loose. Lead bullets only. Those Matt's Bullets 260s look like just the thing. I have a stash of long since discontinued Remington bullets that are similar and I'm glad to see...

I had one of those, only in 22LR. I made the mistake of taking the trigger and hammer out in an attempt to improve the horrible "trigger" pull. I managed to improve the pull somewhat, but reassembly was an awful experience. It required making two slave pins and an absurdly complicated assembly...

AR7. Sold by various companies, including Charter Arms and Henry. IMO, the one of the worst POS I've ever come across. If you're depending on one of those for survival, you're doomed.

That was Mossy Oak's concession to the idea that some woods have green leaves in the spring. Came out in the late 80's.

The 4" Target Bulldog, finished in GunKote: The 2" Bulldog Pug with rare factory bobbed hammer:

Very nice gun. My first Bulldog was a stainless 3", which soon lead to a stainless 2" with bobbed hammer and a 4" Target Bulldog. I'd warn you about not shooting hot 44 Special loads in it, but the first time you shoot it with standard loads you'll find the recoil entirely adequate and lose...
