What would have been done to this gun to get it this clean? It is almost as if it is nickle plated, or Stainless Steel. How would it have been cleaned like this? Has this cleaning destroyed its value to collectors? In all other respects it is in extremely nice condition with a strong...

I have been reloading my hand gun ammo for many years using Lee Classic Loaders. I recently purchased a Lee Zero Error Target Loader for my .243 cartridges. Ths loader has a case "reamer" and stipulates that after a case has been once-fired it should be inserted into the sizing die and while...

I have never been a fan nor seen the benefit of suppressing or adding a silencer to a firearm. However, last weekend I had an opportunity to participate in a night hunt for wild pigs here in East Texas. We used suppressed AR rifles and I was amazed at the number of pigs we were able to...

I have a 1971 Winchester Model 94, caliber .44 Magnum. I am having an issue with this gun that I cannot figure out. When I insert a cartridge in the loading gate and push the cartridge all the way in, when the gate closed the cartridge will slide back well past the front of the gate and...

I have a Winchester 94 in .44 Magnum that was manufactured in 1971. It is one of my favorite rifles and I carry it with me to my farm regularly. Recently it has developed a problem. When I cycle the action I will occasionally have a cartridge release and go under the lifter. This causes a jam...
