Thanks.

I have a three inch barreled 37. I've always disliked that barrel length in a snubbie. I have all the parts and pieces and a good revolver frame wrench. My question revolves around the aluminum frame and it's barrel threads. I heard years ago that you can't re-barrel an aluminum J frame as...

Correct. The enemy learned that they didn't like a grandfather clause during the '94 AWB.

Yes, this. ^^^ Sounds, and how/if they're offensive is much more involved than just a simple DB meter in a quick Youtube video. I'm an old man who protects his hearing, don't need hearing aids and really don't want them. My guns, with my loads and my silencers all combine to not hurt my...

Double Naught, If these aren't ear safe, then why don't any of my four ear pro activate? I shoot with three friends and theirs don't either, so I'm not understanding.

I don't really care for one on a pistol (balance) much. But on a rifle? Oh man! I shoot 10.5" 5.56 & full power .30-06 and suppressed is the only way to fly. Neither one will activate the electronic ear muffs, so I don't wear them. Love them. Light loads in any caliber just make you giggle.

Oh yea, the OPs question! Well, I carried one for many years (long ago) and never had even so much as a close call. The American doesn't have a rebounding hammer. It does have a very positive safety that releases as you cock it. The instructions tell you to engage the safety, then go for a...

Now I can go and polish my Exacto Police Badge. Thanks.

Handshaker, They are interesting little pistols aren't they. They are quite strong, he designed them to hold the .45 Winchester mag and that's a lot of push. I have a friend who used to carry his every day (.45 Colt/.45-70). He asked me to work up a multi-ball load. Using Mech-Tec all brass...

What a good idea. Go ahead and start one.

Originally the company was called Harrington & Richardson. They went bankrupt and reorangized into New England Firearms, late '70s. Unscrew a quarter inch screw in the forearm, pull it off and the barrel comes right off. There can be some barrel interchangeability. I have one that is set up...

I reamed this .22 Hornet to a K-Hornet. Use two loads, a full snort 35 grain ballistic tip and a flat nosed traditional Hornet 40 grainer at about 1,200 feet. Basically a .22 Long Rifle. Through the suppressor the hammer fall is the loudest noise. The silencer you see is for rimfire rated up...

Yet another fine argument for a silencer.

Jeez. He could have at least used camo duct tape!
