    Anyone ever Attended,a Buckeye Gun Show?

    I believe they sponsor, at least in part the Reinersville trader days. I've been to that show many, many times. So expect a decent show, and post back with results. Personally, I've never left a gun show unhappy (or with a full wallet)

    I also have a Colt 1908, although, I cannot get it to fire. as the replacement firing pin I got for it does not catch the sear.

    FN Browning M1906 Manufacture

    It's got kind of a yellow finish to the chrome/nickel/whatever, Kind of like white gold, but obviously not white gold if that makes any sense. No magazine safety in it, so yes, she's a second variant with an earlier trigger. Collector value is nil, as it does look buffed down on the top of the...

    FN Browning M1906 Manufacture

    I picked up one of these little .25's at a gun show recently, and was trying to get a date of manufacture. from what i could gather, it appears to be a 2nd model, pre 1925 make, with the late model thumb safety, and an early model narrow trigger. I know the grips appear to be for a later...

    M&P 15 Out of Spec?

    Greetings High roaders After I stupidly sold my AR a week before Sandy Hook, I'd been scrambling to get another. The PX got a surprise shipment last week of M&P 15's with a flat top and a detachable carry handle for 1079. Not terrible after the rebate. However, I was a little less than...

    Dangerous time with a Colt Conversion unit

    Rcmodel, I'm thinking rimlock may have something to do with it. maybe it was pulling two rounds in, and the slide hitting the second round into the back of the first one in the chamber caused the first to go off. kbob, I looked over the floating chamber, and it looks to be in working order...

    Dangerous time with a Colt Conversion unit

    good to go, the extractor might not be engaging the round. I'll check it for proper engagement.

    Dangerous time with a Colt Conversion unit

    A few weeks back, I picked up a Colt Conversion unit for a song. I went to the range today to try her out, the first 6 rounds fired fine, then I got a double feed, and the round of the second bullet stuck the primer of the first hard enough to set it off, firing out of battery, resulting in a...

    Unexpected armored target

    I wonder if you double some of that up, and inside a plate carrier, how heavy it would be. better than nothing if anything.

    If you own/carry/use a .25 Colt, Browning, etc. pistol take note.

    EBK, Search for the 1908 colt hammerless vest pocket on Numrich, Parts will interchange.

    If you own/carry/use a .25 Colt, Browning, etc. pistol take note.

    I've got a beater colt vest pocket i got in trade that was missing parts, I've got it re-assembled, but the firing pin/striker will not catch on the sear when you rack the slide. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? My idea was to get another sear, and slowly bend it up until it will catch.
