Thanks B27! Without even seeing it, I bet it is a aftermarket conversion of some kind. That is O.K., if it looks good, I might buy it anyway.

JShirley, can you shoot me a PM on price and condition? I didn't even know what one was until you mentioned it and I had to look it up. It looks interesting.

A friend of mine told me today that he saw a Enfield Jungle Carbine at a pawn store down town. He said it was a .303 cal and it was one of the best ones he has seen. The price is only $99 so it got me thinking. How can I tell if it is a real Jungle Carbine or just a cut down? It is a good...

Cali doesn't reconize the C&R as valid?:what: :confused: How can this be? What happens if a person in Cali get a C&R FFL? Can he buy anything with it? Can a private person ship a gun to Cali if the person has a C&R?

OUCH! How expensive were those wedding rings?:what: That sounds like a double whammy!:D

Check out this guy's auction. He says it is a "blued Steel 6 shot 686" The box says it is a SS 7 shot 686. I think it is just a 586 and the guy is an idiot.:neener: http://gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=13213495

"Go ahead and send it to them. It'll probably come back a little tighter too." If that is true, I will definatly do it! I doubt it is loose enough for them to mess with. It just doesn't have the super solid lockup that I like. It has a little wiggle at full lockup.

They feel like a 2x4 or maybe like a 1x3.:D The Red Star grips are the best and they are not great. Grips make a gun in a lot of ways. It is a shame that there are not more aftermarket grips for the Maks. Recoil is mild compared to .40S&W or .357mag. It recoils like a .380 out of a...

I keep buying these guns because I keep saying that someday they will be much more expensive but they keep lowering the price on some of them! They are tricking me into buying more guns than I planned on.:D I mean, how do you NOT buy a Yugo SKS for $89.95 delivered?;)

I found this info: "SMITH & WESSON MODEL 581, 586, 681, 686, or 581-1, 586-1, 681-1, 686-1 & 686CS-1, REVOLVERS RECALL: Reports have been received from the field where the combination of a SMITH & WESSON L-FRAME 357 MAGNUM REVOLVER and some .357 Magnum ammunition has resulted in...

My SN# starts with AHP not AHC. There is no M on the yoke but there is a "E25" in addition to a stamped part number. What is "E25"? What the heck is a "hammer nose"? Is it on the hammer? What happens if I don't get it replaced? Is it dangerous? Where can I read more about this recall?

I had one and sold it because the grip was too large for me. It felt like it was going to twist out of my hand. It was probably O.K. but I like to feel like I have a solid grip on my guns. My hands are average not small.

I just brought my S&W 586 4" blued .357 home today. I ordered it online so this is the first time I got to hold it. It is not as nice as my other one that I sold a few years ago but it is still pretty good. It is a little looser and the blue is not as deep but it is still better looking than...

If my SKS comes with the book and the extras, I won't mess with it but if it comes just as a beater rifle, I won't feel too bad about cutting it up. I have never done this to any gun because I know I won't like it as much once the history is gone but if I have three of them, maybe I could do it.
