Not sure where to post this, so moderator please feel free to move this. I've been thinking of getting either a pistol or rifle chambered in 22TCM. On paper, it seems to outperform the 5.7x28. Commercial ammo is also less expensive. I realize that ammo and firearms are pretty limited as far as...

I haven't shot an airgun in over 50 years. Looking for a pellet rifle for plinking and msybe dispatching with small vermin. Leaning towards .22 caliber, but nothing is written in stone. I am looking to stay in the $200 - $250 range. Something with reaonable accuracy out to 25 -30 yards. People...

A friend of mine has this rifle and wants to know what it is. Can anyone help? It is dated 1883.

Starting on a new project. Restocking a Rossi 92, only because I found a real nice piece of wood for cheap. My question, how do I drill a straight hole over the length of the forearm for the magazine tube without the drill "wandering"? Any help would be appreciated.

Just picked this up at my LGS. It's not the Model 17 that I keep looking for, but with the $100 price tag, I couldn't pass it up. Everything seems to be nice and tight, no play in the cylinder. Does anyone know anything about this model?

Was at my LGS yesterday and saw a Taurus 689 in .357 Magnum. It has a 6" vent rib barrel and adjustable rear sights. The gun looks brand new. No turn line, no discoloration on the cylinder face. The blueing is every bit as nice as any of my S&W revolvers. They want $400 for it. I know that...

My LGS has a near pristine S&W Model 28-2. Gun is in original condition with almost no turn line in the cylinder. Looking at the front face of the cylinder, no powder rings to show it was even shot. Has box, and paperwork. I would have already bought it, but for the Magnaporting. The gun is on...

I have a PSA Ar-15. The front sight is the type mounted in an A-Frame as part of the gas block. It did not come with a rear sight. Would any flip up tear sight be tall enough, or do I need a special rear sight ? I do have an oldschool removable carry handle with the 2 leaf rear sight, but was...

Built a T/C Hawken rifle from a kit when I was 20, that was 41 years ago. Like an idiot I know raded it off for something else. Looking to build another rifle. Nothing against Traditions, but looking for something a bit nicer, in percussion, maybe a long rifle style. Looking to spend around...

Went into my LGS today, which normally tends to be costly. Came across this Savage Model 333 and it just followed me home. 26" barrels choked IC and Mod. This gun was made in the mid 70s for Savage by Valmet. Today Valmet is known as Tikka. It is the same as the Valmet 412S. At $400, I couldn't...

Stopped in at my LGS today and scored a really clean Model 10-7 in the original box. No paperwork, but I believe this revolver spent most all its life in a drawer. Looks like very few rounds through it and is tight as the day it left the factory. Can't wait to get it out to the range.

Came across one of these at a LGS. 2 1/2" barrel nickel plated. It appears to be in pretty good condition and everything locks up well. Does anyone know anything about these? Asking price is $325.

After years of disdain for the rifle platform we know as the AR15, I have crossed over to the dark side. I have a basic A4 style in 5.56mm. I'm thinking about a 300 Blackout. For ease of changing from one caliber to the other, I'm thinking of a complete upper. Anything else I should know ?

Just curious, what do you all think about a mounted light or laser sight, or combination on home defense pistol. I have a combination setup that I was thinking about mounting on an SD40VE, just wondering if this is something many use or if it is something that just adds extra weight...

I am looking at a Rottweil O/U. It looks similar to a Model 650, but it does not have a model designation anywhere on it. Nice looking and shoulders and swings nicely. I believe it was made for them by Fratelli Gamba. I will use it mostly for some informal skeet shooting with guys from work...

Came across this Mauser based rifle and had to bring it home. I think it could be an FN Mauser. But can find no markings. Rifle is chambered for 270. The scope set up is old and a bit odd. Bausch and Lomb variable scope, with no magnification markings on it, possibly an 8A 2.5-8 variable with a...

Just got a text from Classic arms. M1 carbines made by original gov't contractors and refurbished by James River Armory. They are beautiful, but $1499? Maybe I'm just cheap. Makes me appreciate my nice old WWII vintage M1. They are out of most makers, looks like inland is all they have left. The...

I have a S&W 638 that I use for EDC. Can anyone tell meif it is possible to change out the MIM parts for good sterl parts fromone of the older model revolvers?

Did S&W ever produce the 38/44HD revolver in a satin nickle finish? I see references to a bright nickle, but not satin. There is one for sale at my LGS for $850. Just want to make sure thiswSn't a rough gun that was refinished in satin to hide flaws.

I have what I think is a Stevens 325B, that is what is marked on the barrel. Looking at the receiver, it is not drilled and tapped for either a receiver sight or side mounted scoe mount. I was under the impression that only the 325 was not D&T, but that the 325A, B, C were. Is this correct? Or...
