I have a gen 2 G19. Gen 3s are hard to get in MA. Ever since putting an acro on my slide (no adapter plate, acro-specific milling) months back I've had pervasive FTE issues, often in the form of a "double feed" against the partially ejected empty casing. I've also at least once had the slide...
Please hear me out on my reasons for this before anyone pounces. First off, I currently live in MA (which I hope to resolve sooner rather than later) where I can't buy a Colt unless it's a Competition model. Tempting, but I want an old GI plain jane 1911. So I've done hours of reading on here...
I'm refinishing an old Stevens 335 double barrel 12g. I got it in working but rough shape. The inside of the barrels is clean but it had rust and pitting on the barrels and all over the trigger group housing, trigger guard, etc. My plan is to brown the barrels and the trigger guard and I was...
I recently bought a Remington 742. Long story short, it was an impulse purchase from a friend. I admittedly did very little research on it beforehand, which is unusual for me, and now I'm regretting it. Took it apart (which is a pain) and thoroughly cleaned it. Was meticulous about...
I've had a recurring problem ever since I got my M&P9c. When I drive, my bodyweight sitting against the seat pops the mag release (righty carrying IWB). So God forbid I ever have to draw my weapon, I'd be an action comedy gag when my mag fell out.
I stopped topping off the mag (so 9+1 instead...
.22 cal Beretta 21A, shooting CCI mini-mags. I don't get failures to fire, and I think I've only gotten one or two stovepipes from spent shells, but the thing that happens most often is the round being chambered misses the chamber and ends up tip up between the slide and the barrel.
I think...
Obviously accuracy is up to me, but my question is this: Would I be giving too much power away hunting coyote with a .22 mag from a 5.5 inch revolver as opposed to a rifle? Let's say absolutely no more than 75 yards, probably more like 50. I was hitting a 100 yard 10 inch gong with just...
I'd like to get out of the NE entirely and being a liberty loving Christian, TX is on my short list. Other than the no open carry thing, can a Texan give me a quick rundown on restrictions in TX that I might not be thinking of?
For example, MA is restrictive, but ironically, I can carry here...
Help me with my pros/cons list of these two guns I've been looking at.
The High Standard is in very good condition, year unknown. Love that it has 9 shots. $300.
The Single Six is a newer "two-screw" model in good condition with the standard .22 LR and .22 WMRF cylinders. I don't have...
First, I know what 1:9 or 1:7 means, but I want to understand why its important, especially with bullet weights. For example I've read that a 1:7 twist in an AR is more desirable for a heavier bullet than 1:9.
1. General explanation or anything I'm wrong on.
2. Is the extra twist purely for...
I bought a cheap old 12g hammerless SxS and did a little research on the only thing on it: "American Gun Co. New York". Apparently what I've got here is a hardware store shotgun made at the latest around 1920, and I don't know anything about identifying Damascus steel or if its safe to shoot...
Mossberg 500 20g. Doubles as HD gun and skeet gun. Never had a problem with this when I tested my HD loads when I got the gun. First noticed when shooting skeet that sometimes the safety would move from recoil and mess up the next shot. The original plastic safety button popped off while...
Llama IXB circa 1985. Fed FMJ fine from mag that came w/ it, but not HPs. Also would NOT feed FMJ from a 10 rd. Chip McCormack Power Plus mag. Polished the feed ramp down to 1500 grain auto sandpaper, now both mags feed FMJ flawlessly, but not HPs. I've done a little reading on 1911s and...
Stumbled across a muzzle brake for a M44 on ebay. I've asked the seller for dimensions to make sure it would fit a M38. Any experience with muzzle breaks on carbine Mosins?
I've had several people and a few gunsmiths tell me a trigger job on a Ruger P85 can't be done because of the double/single action. I'm not talking about "smoothing it out" so much as shortening the ATROCIOUSLY long pull. I had one very reputable gunsmith tell me he's too busy, but he used to...
I have no experience with Dragunovs whatsoever, but I do with Mosins and I'm just curious. Anybody who has tried stripper clips with a Mosin can tell you rimlock is a problem. Rather than fool around with stripper clips, its actually quicker to just hand load 5 rounds and make sure you won't...
Anybody have experience with Duracoat on anything other than firearms? I was thinking of using it on my new gas tank for my bike. I guess I was thinking just use auto primer and rough it up some if need be then apply the Duracoat. Actually was thinking of using the high heat Duracoat on my...
I want to get back into archery, and cost is the big factor. Some experience from my youth, not much with compound bows. I'm going to go with Mathews since I've heard nothing but good and that's what the local archery hub has...something in Mathews' Mission line. So brand new I'm looking at...
I'm refinishing a Mosin 91/30, and I sat down to fit the bayonet I got with it. It was the best fit in the shop for my Mosin when I got it, but it still needed a little filing work to fit on all the way.
So I file a little here and there, and it still won't go on. It's pretty clear at this...
Experiences with the M&P9c?
Anybody know if you can put full size M&P9 mags in it? Pure curiosity.
Finally, my father has a M&P45 that he's had some slide issues with (not locking back on last shot) and S&W told me a round firing pin hole (which he has, as opposed to a teardrop shaped...
