I bought one new last month and had to trade the barrel for a quality control/warranty issue.
The replacement came with a welded end plug, and a chamber neck/leade machining that could have been better done by a child with a dull drill bit.
After the several weeks turn-around to get the...
The Chinese 1887s were plagued with problems that Coyote Cap had to travel to the orient like five times to make the manufacturer upgrade materials and production techniques just so that importing them into the U.S. wouldn't irreparably wreck the reputation of the importer.
Then, to make these...
.308 seems the answer to me. Breaking into a new caliber is a stiff proposition in my book, and since there is already the M&P10 and an M1A in the lock up I'm finding it especially hard to fall for smaller bore rifles at this time.
The availability of .30 caliber bullets in myriad weights tends...
best find in 2011?
My SKY marked M39 is a free floated barrel, and can make patterns on tagets that barely travel outside 1"-1-1/4" @100 yards.
When I first purchased it and dismantled for cleaning and inspection I discovered some thin wooden shims between the upper hand guard and the lower...
Does anyone out there have any experiences with the Italian made double barreled .44 pistols produced during the late '50s through the '60s?
The gun I am looking at is a Renegade , imported by Intercontinental Arms , and this particular speciman is dated 1962.
I'm considering buying it to...
I found it (Reloader7) listed in the Sierra 5th with thier under 170gr spitzers. Then I spent some time in the section marked "reloading for gas guns" and learned enough there that I would never use it in my M&P10.
I suspect that it'll stay on the shelf until I have some time to experiment with...
When I gave the boy an M39 a year or so ago, I really would have preferred to see the ammo budget spent on reloading materials, but when the Romanian surplus we found shot so well, and cost less than $400 for 1500 or so rounds at the time, I opted to teach him effective corrosive ammo clean-up...
When I learned that my LGS has a butt-load of M&P10s in stock I started to seriously entertain adding one to my rifle selection.
When I brought it up to my brother he said that he had a couple dozen M14 magazines still and that they would only need a very minor mod. to work on the newer...
I got a 92 version and a .45 back when you could still get them for less than $600 at Bud's. The youngster sports the 9mm and gets the benefit of cheap/plentiful military magazines along with access to 30 round MecGars straight from the factory supply depot ( no need to resort to Promag or other...
It took very little effort for me to shim my stock and handguard using some card stock so that I could tighten the muzzle end clamp. A minor amount of scraping to provide entire clearance for the barrel and I have a completely free floating barrel.
The POA/POI accuracy is astonishing for a...
" Lauramidopropyldimethylamine oxide "
On a hunch I looked up a comparison of this chemical's name and the term -surfactant- , BINGO , Lauramidowhoisit is a main component of industrial cleaning chemicals along the same line as carpet cleaning solution.
Powerful stuff. Mega-Soap or some such.

I'm afraid, that you are exhibiting signs of, that you may have got "it" real bad....
none of "it" is of any real problem unless... , you happen to be married or otherwise attached to a significant...
If that is so I am all for it. This particular gun has the best wood to metal fit of any Italian gun I've handled to date ( not perfect mind you, but a far cry better than all the others combined!).
The Cimmaron rep. mentioned that -some- guns have come past them with this problem and that is...
I had my LGS special order an '72 Open-top .44 Special 4-3/4" Uberti for me and it was available for my inspection over this weekend,
Surprise of surprises- the gun was suffering the short arbor syndrome.
Since my LGS wouldn't be open on Mondays I took it upon myself to contact Cimmaron's...
I have a s.s. '58 that will be getting shortened to about six inches or so.
My intention is to fit an Uberti catch and drill/thread it for a set screw instead of an interference fit on the dovetail.
Along with the Uberti dovetailed sight block I think it will eliminate two of the aspects of...

That is an interesting title, too bad that it seems to be so few and far between.

"...each with its own pressure parameters. The first is the original black powder or equivalent like trailboss."
I have repeatadly read that Trailboss powder is NOT a BP equivalence or substitute.
My understanding is that Trailboss powder should only be considered "safer" for reloading...
Your earlier message indicated that you dismantled this gun to try some of it's parts in your conversion revolver.
First, did all the original parts go back into the Hombre? Are you sure?
Second, is the bolt/trigger spring installed properly, and undamaged?
The bolt thrigger spring CAN cause...
I am sitting here with my (properly functioning) R-M '51 revolver and will describe the cylinder notch location during it's operation.
The cylinder rotates clockwise (left -to- right) when viewed from the breech (hammer/grip/loading gate) end. when the hammer is full cocked there is an...
