Hi Floyd, that GP 100 SS is a fine gun, you should not go wrong there. Art

I just picked up the Rossi 972 6 shot 6" SS at Gander Mountain today. As I walked in they had it on sale as a last minute Christmas special for only $325 while supplies lasted. It was my birthday today, so I said, "let me look at one." It handled like my S&W 60 which is a 5 shot 3" barrel. I...

Well said about expectations. I have several Ruger 22 pistols, among them the Mark II Government Target and the Charger with 2-7 power scope; those shoot tiny dime size groups. But Shootin' Easy Minute of Beer Can with my newest Ruger, the Single Six 22lr/22WMR convertible, has more...

Congrates on a nice purchase, and I'm sure you will be a proud owner of a fine gun, in practice and presentation. After about 300 or so rounds of Federal 230 FMJ, my Custom Crimson Carry II fired Golden Saber 230 JHP, Hornady 230 XTP plus their FTX version, and Federal defense 230 JHP just...

I agree with your statement, except that is a conspiracy theory, not a story. Yes I am splitting hairs, but whatever :) Art

Gun Stories by Joe Mantegna on the outdoor channel has an episode this year about the M9 story. Pretty much every thing said in this thread was talked about in the story to some degree or another. Some say behind every story (or rumor) might be a little bit of truth.

I have a Kimber Crimson Carry II I got last January. I was curious that the manual stated "signs of rust mean neglect." I had never seen that in a manual for a gun before. I notice the specs for my gun that has what "seemed to me" a stainless barrel are as follows: Length (inches): 5...

Sorry, I am confusing you. We lost the base pin bushing. I read about how to fit it. I found ones that would need turned down to fit and then need fitted. Looks like a trip to the factory for that gun, as I would rather they do all of that and Taurus does not sell parts to the gun smiths...

I think I found something here. A Gun Smithin' book on Google Books discussing SAA as something old new again talks about base pin bushings, how to fit them, and that they are small coin on Brownells. I see Brownells has them for several SAA models. I pulled an 45LC U-bird out and compared...

Hi RCMODEL, It would have been lost on the range bench where I cleaned it last many weeks ago. Not rolled under the couch like most will do ;) My friend makes all kinds of metal and other bushing for non-gun items, what makes this "fitting" of this part so Special? What tolerance is...

I had a 38/357 SAA Gaucho I was selling to my friend today. I informed him the Cylinder Bushing was missing, as I checked it just before he came over and it was gone. It seems these are designed to fall out and get lost on cleaning. I saw in the archives that some here had fired "full load"...

I got a GSG 1911-22 in spring. Shot it ok, but had to upgrade it will all the springs and front bushing as the others were recalled. Still it does not lock the slide back correctly on empty, and the finish is worn off the bottom of the front of the slide already. I got a Colt Gold CUP Friday...

The NRA promoted extra coverage insurance say from my policy: Your stuff is insured in the USA, but can be extended for a world wide trip up to 10K worth of stuff. That might be the 2x5K rifle we hear about for safari. Insured from any loss or damage from any cause except as noted. If it...

The Poll is missing an Answer: Yes, but only in guns I wish to I have 2 45s I do not run Cast Lead in, and it has nothing to do with #3. ArtU

Same here I got my call today, numbers inside the flap on the white Part. Mine were all L11xxx and fine. I asked why Wal-Mart took all the AMMO off the shelves then and not let me buy more. She said Wal-Mart tends to error on the side of safety and pull all product. I asked what was wrong for...
