Revolver, meet uglystick. Bright red. Oi vey! At least you can be assured that no criminal will ever mistake your revolver for a cell phone or other dark, black object. :scrutiny: What I really want to know if who came up with this idea. Jethro: "Well Billybob, I jes' can't move this here...

I've inherited a pump-action Winchester 1906 rifle chambered in .22LR(plus Long and Short). It's a handy little rifle. I've been able to find the date of manufacture but nothing on disassembly. I'd like to give the insides a good cleaning but I don't want to go opening up 79 year old technology...

My grandfather recently moved into a home and this fell into my hands. 1898 rifle with a 1902 sight, marked "JSA 1899." It's huge. A smidge over four feet long, it's about eye level when I sit down. Kinda hard to see the front sight from that far away. It's also got the smoothest action I've...

I just got home from an unsanctioned IDPA match and I ain't happy. I got two light strikes with my 28-2 on one of the last stages. This was with Remington ammo, the 100 round box .38 +P. "Just cheap ammo," me thinks. Then, on the final stage, FIVE Federal Hydrashocks fail to fire. Light strikes...

A Smith and Wesson MP 10-9, made for the Royal Hong Kong Police. The condition isn't quite as nice as the picture shows, three or four rust specks, good sized turn ring, some missing finish. Still, would probably go for "very good" on most auction sites. Balanced. Nice trigger pull, as I've come...

Today I inventoried a Thompson SMG, model of 1921. Serial number 110. I'm sure you can guess what kind of organization owns it. Didn't get to "play" with it long. The buttstock felt a little loose but otherwise it seemed to be in prime condition. There is a 1921, serial number in the 3000 range...

Don't get too concerned, I'm still in 95% NRA condition. :neener: I was shooting my first "tactical" match at the Alabama Training Institute and Pistol Range, doing my best for all the wheely shooters out there. This is an indoor range and they just recently added a steel trap system. As the...

Snagged it on gunbroker for $450 shipped, with original box, wax paper, manual, and warranty card. These things weren't a deal maker/breaker but it was real nice to get them. P&R, serial number S27xxxx, magna grips don't match(can't have everythin', least not for cheap). Observations: There...

From Texas. :neener: I hadn't bought a firearm in a year and I was starting to get the jitters. A little money came my way and I took stock of my growing collection. I realized I didn't have a shotgun. That would not do. I watched a few Westerns and played Outlaws for a bit and knew. I had to...

A question that come up a little bit ago. If you, an average sized adult male, swallowed a lead wadcutter(say a .38 Special), could you get lead poisoning? How about an FMJ with the base exposed? My initial thought is that the FMJ would not give you lead poisoning unless it stuck around for...

you've read on the internet? The internet is a great tool for communicating and researching. But, as in life, there are always people who seem to live an another universe. So, share your outrageous stories and the like. On another message board a fellow claimed that a .44 Magnum had "plenty...

I have never been a Glock fan. Never hated them either, I thought of them as good handguns for a good price with too much hype. But, I thought, they are so... ugly! The grip is a little weird, they have no soul, and did I mention fugly? And all was well, I lived to bring glory to the 1911A1...

Taurus disassembly goof? While disassembling and cleaning a Taurus 85 I hit a potential snag: I think I lost a part. I say think because I'm not sure if anything was there to begin with. And I can't find this part in the diagram provided in the Taurus manual. On the left side of the revolver...

I've about decided that I want, nay, NEED a .357 revolver. And I want one with class. No plasticy grips, soul-dead stainless steel, or full underlugs. To be specific, I am looking at the S&W 19, 27, and 28 models. To the questions(please forgive me if these have been asked before, I did a few...

I went to the CASC gun show at the Zamora Shriners Temple here in Alabama two days ago. There were a lot of sporting rifles, shotguns and bubbas(:barf:) but there were a few pieces that caught my interest. An Inland M1 carbine kinda caught my eye but I found a CETME(black furniture) that didn't...

I've had my eye on three rifles for a while now. A Kahr M1 Thompson, an M1 Garand and a HK-91/PTR-91. Some people dreamed of being the President(just as one example) when they were kids, I dreamed of being a Thompson ower. Unfortunately certain *cough*BS*cough* laws don't allow me to get a...

This might seem silly(does to me) but could ballistic gel(skin) and bamboo(bone) be used to tell how deep you/the sword can cut and thrust? I doubt it would be practical but it would be a fun, weird project. But I'm not sure gel would work well with swords, compared to bullets. You could...

I have my eye on two No1 Mk3s(from different places but both with same shipping and such, SOG and Surplusfirearms), one with wire rapping/grenade support. The other without, both in the same condition. So I'd like to know, does it matter? Can the wrap and support be removed if desired? Does it...

I went down to the Gun Cellar in Hoover just to check them out and they had an M48A on a rack. It had a little rust, a few dings and no bayonet/pouch/sling but it was cheap and I figured I could buff it up. Bore is great, action is fast and smooth and everything matches. The stock is nice, only...

I've been wanting a Mauser for a little while and found some on impactguns.com . I have three questions. Is the M48A worth buying? I've heard several people say so, here and in other places but I'd like to hear more if possible. If so, is an "excellent" condition M48A with bayonet...
