I was wondering, have any of you ever tried .44 Russian through a .44 Magnum levergun?

Hey Ya'll, I just lucked into a gunsmith special Springfield 120A single shot .22 rifle. I've torn it down and isolated the problem (I think) and am about to order the part I need. Anyhow, I was wondering if any of you know anything about these dead simple guns. Are there any problems...

Hey folks. I have a question regarding factory grips for the S&W M&P. Did the S&W factory ever put out any brow plastic or Bakelite diamond Manga grips without medallions? If not, do you have any idea who may have made grips of this description?

Hey folks. My Wife an I are moving from my beloved Northern Florida to Metro Atlanta. This will be a huge change for me, as I am accustomed to a semi-rural lifestyle. Anyway, I was reading up on the carry laws of my soon to be home when I came to the section regarding knives. Any knives...

Greetings. My BIL is going on a two week fishing trip to the tundra and he called me to inquire as to what shotgun would serve him best as bear medicine up there, and as a HD gun when he gets home. I gave him my take, suggesting he look at this and that, but then it dawned on me... I'm a...

...cool stuff, but nothing quite like the one I have. Mine is well worn, but if you look very closely on the right side of the blade you can see ..."K* Knife", and below that, "Hamden. Conn" (the H in Hamden being worn quite a bit but visible.) I'm to understand that the Hamden knives were made...

Hey fellas, Years ago I bought a 1858 Remington from Cabellas that is marked CVA, but made in Italy. I need a new trigger for it, as the original unit has worn down to the point that it will no longer keep the gun cocked. It appears that the trigger itself was never hardened or is made of...

Hi Ya'll. I am in possession of my Great Grandmother's storied pistol, a Hopkins & Allen XL No. 5 .38 S&W. A classic example of a "Suicide Special" of the late 19th Century that did yeoman's service protecting her home on at least one occasion. Somewhere along the line the hammer cracked...

For a long while I’ve lusted after the Randall Model 2 Dagger. My opportunity to own one came yesterday at the Gun Show when I picked one up as part of a trade for a rifle I would never use. I know very little about Randall knives, but I do know that I’ve never handled a deadlier feeling blade...

Is there a way to weaken the spring tension on the loading gate of a New Winchester 94? I would very much like to make it faster to load. Thanks.

What is the most consistent factory loaded 7.62x54R? I’ve got a nice looking (good rifling and crown) M44 that was shooting shotgun like patterns at fifty yards with CZ Silvertip. If it won’t shoot, I don’t want it.

Here’s a question for you fellas that know the ins and outs of the custom cutlery world. If you wanted a big dagger made to (or around) the following specifications, who would you have make it? 15” overall length 10” long 3” wide at base Carbon steel spearpoint blade, flat ground and...

I’ve been chewing on the idea of the perfect Florida truck gun for years now, and I think I may have hit upon it. Here is the gun I envision: 1. Used Marlin 336 with the barrel/mag tube cut and crowned to 18” (possibly left as is depending on budget) [~$175] 2. XS sights installed...

Last week in my Arnis class, we got to playing around with kerambit trainers. I’ve not spent enough time with one to develop a solid opinion yet, so I come to you, those that have trained with them before to seek outside info. Here is what I gather from the little I experienced: 1) It is...

I've been wanting to order a couple of Kelly Worden's Travel Wrenches for some time now, and I see that Botach carries them for what appears to be half the price of other vendors. I've heard horror stories about Botach from years ago, so I am reluctant to place an order with them. The...

In a recent gunshow trade, I acquired a Norinco SKS. This gun had a bayonet attached. I know that it is technically against the law for some Norinco guns to have bayonets on them due to either the 86 import ban or the Clinton Executive Order, I can’t remember which. Anyway, I went ahead and...

Ok here’s the deal. I got my hands on an M44 the other day. It’s a laminated stocked Izzy that I believe is a re-arsenal. It is in great shape. I stripped it all the way down to its smallest components and cleaned out all of the cosmoline that the previous owner(s) left behind. This made a HUGE...

I just spent a good portion of today removing the cosmoline from two rifles that I recently traded for. I know, I know, it's a hard life... Anyhow, I got to thinking... how did the goverments of the world get the cosmoline out of the guns when they were taken out of storage? I know all of the...

I am thoroughly disgusted. I just spoke to my wife on the phone. She is visiting a friend up in NYC and just called to tell me how her day was going. She told me that she was having a great time, and that everything was going well, except that “they” made her give up her Swiss Army Knife in...

I just received my CRKT Hissatsu from Smokey Mountain Knife Works yesterday, and I thought I’d share some thoughts on it with yall. First off, this is my first purpose driven “fighting knife.” I’ve owned and carried many kinds of knives over the years, but all of them have been working tools...
