If your boss lives in Camp Springs, then he is a Maryland resident. His best bet would be to try either Atlantic Guns which has two locations, one in Silver Spring and the other in Rockville, or The Gun Rack which is in Burtonsville. I doubt he will find anyone closer that would be...

There is a reason why most people work in gun shops: 1) Having at least a passing interest in firearms 2) Having absolutely nothing more productive to do with their time Unfortunately, there is not a lot of money in retail and it is even worse in firearms because of the relatively low...

I apologize for interrupting the discussion, but this statement has me a bit confused. I thought that all Glocks used a channel liner insert. What is the purpose of polishing the firing pin channel if the firing pin will be moving in the channel liner?

Based on the information provided I would surmise the following is happening. The shooter is holding the pistol in such a way that she is applying downward pressure on the slide release lever. This is preventing the slide from locking back in SA mode. However, when firing DA, she shifts her...

I've read over on the 1911 Forum that Kimber had a bad batch of barrels at one point. One member commented that he had to send his Kimber back twice to get the barrel replaced. The 1911 Forum is down for maintenance this weekend, but you might also try posting your problem on...

Is it possible that the problem was not all S&B ammo, but just that particular box or lot of ammo? I had one of the P230's in .32acp that came into the country a year or two ago. I bought half a case of Blazer .32acp with it and had about 50% light primer strikes. Sometimes the round would...

Don't forget that next weekend is the Chantilly show which runs Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday. I just thought I would throw that out in case anyone wants to plan around it.

RTFM, I think you are better off finding a local gunsmith that has a Sig sight pusher rather than attempting to do it yourself with a brass punch. Also, I believe that Sig sights can only go on and come off one side of the gun and not the other. Sig has directions for using its sight...

It is my understanding from speaking with a former Interarms gunsmith that the slide problem was not limited to just the post war P-38's. He said that it was not a common occurance, but it was a weak point on the P-38 pistol. As mentioned by RON, the P-38 slide was modified sometime in the...

Interarms has been out of business for several years. You could call M&M Gunsmithing at (703) 739-2150. One of their gunsmiths use to work for Interarms. They are located in Alexandria, VA.
