I'm looking for a gunsmith to build a Gustav M45 "Swedish K" from a parts kit. Suggestions?

Anyone have any experience with the Arminius revolvers? I have one FIE, but it was made by Tanfoglio, not Arminius. It's a very good shooter.

Jamesjo, Great collection of H&R's!

Thanks to both of you! Here's another question. Whick 22 revolver is better: Herrington & Richardson Mod 999 or a FIE Arminius HW7. The Arminius is a 22 mag, but comes with a 22 lr cylinder. I've heard good things about the H&R and I like the fact that it a top break. Some have said...

I've got a questions about revolvers with seperate cylinders for long rifle and magnum 22 ammo. I know that you are not suppose to shoot .22lr in a gun chambered for .22wmr. Some say that the .22lr bullet can tumble after it exits the barrel. If that is true, then why would switching a...

I've got a Cabela's Sporterized Hawken rifle. When I put it in the half cock position, I don't have any room to install the percusion cap. I have to put it on full cock. Is there a way to adjust the hammer position so it is farther back on half cock? Thanks

Springfield XD 9mm or Kimber 45 in Tucker Easy Reach. Inova T4 light and Spyderco Assist 2 knife.

I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I have a Tucker Easy Reach IWB Kydex holster (Springfield XD 9mm SC). It is a great holster and I really like it. I have one problem though. No matter how tight my belt is, the smooth kydex slides and drags my belt down with it. I tried Mole...

I just purchased a S&W 627 V-Comp and I'm very happy with it. Except for the factory sights. I'm looking for something bright, like the TruGlo's I have on my Springfield XD. I'm thinking just a fiber optic front sight to brighten up the picture. Suggestions?

Does anyone know how to remove the firing pin form an 22 SA Revolver? The gun is a Little Ranger that was imported by FIE and is modled after the Colt 1877. I want to use it with my period clothing at events. But some require non-firing guns only. Thanks

Thanks, now I know! And that is half the battle.

I'm fairly new to handguns and just purchased a Springfield XD Subcompact in 9mm. I was checking it out and was going to clean it before I fired it. I noticed that when the slide is pulled back the barrel tips upward. I took it apart, put it back together and it still does it. Is this...

Yes, I'm using the slide release. I'll try pulling the slide back. Recoil spring is good. I've put about 4000 rounds through it. I'll try one less round in the magazine. Thanks!

I've had my trailside for nearly a year and it's been a great gun. Recently it has developed a problem where the slide won't return all the way forward and make contact with the breach face. The distance between the slide and the breach isn't much, but it bothers me. I can easily push the...
