What's it need?

I stand corrected! Good info

No, not really. The old AOWs like the Handy-Gun are now collectibles, some like the Auto-Burglars are super expensive. Also, it costs $200 to make an AOW, but only $5 to transfer, so the cost of new construction is usually passed on to the customer. AOWs are also rarer because they can't be...

I have a Shockwave. It looks like all the other Shockwaves. I did put a Crimson Trace on it. It works pretty well, needs the adapter for minis. There is a learning curve to shooting a Shockwave, it's not as fast or intuitive as people may think, and recoil can be downright nasty depending on...

A pre-lock S&W 681. Fixed sights would maybe survive better in truly hard use, or at least one less thing to have an issue with. What type of harsh environment are we talking?

I've tested my 11 inch sawed-off SBS Ithaca double barrel versus a 14 inch Model 12 pump SBS versus a 20 inch Mossberg 500, all with cylinder bores. As jmr40 says, there is no difference in pattern size between barrel lengths. It's been a while, so I don't remember quite what the pattern size...

I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences to his family. RIP sir.

I shoot 12 gauge slugs at a 5/8 AR500 gong hung on chains. Usually 100 yards out, but sometimes as close as 50 or 60. I won't go any closer than that with a slug. It's a large caliber, slow velocity proposition, so it's not super hard on the steel, no divots or craters, but it sure moves the...

We have a Reising, it came from a police department in California. The Reising needs good condition firing pin springs, since it is a closed bolt the firing pin floats and a weak firing pin spring will prevent cycling when shooting. Even then, the firing pins are known for getting bent or...

Are those Zabala's safe to shoot steel shot out of? Just wondering, I'm not a 10 gauge or watefowl guy, but all the 10 gauge ammo I see around is steel shot.

My father got jumped in his driveway by a group of thugs in a car. He had a Hi-Standard on him, and after he tackled and pinned the first guy, pulling the derringer out was enough of a deterrent to stop the rest from jumping in. I also know of a deputy who carried one and was off duty when a...

Winchester 63... Kinda appalled no one has brought that one up yet.

I bought one years ago, but didn't much care for it and sold it. It was a well-engineered piece of equipment though, I do respect them. If I found a deal like you did, I'd probably jump on it again.

I shoot a Browning low-wall in .22 Hornet, one of my favorite "going for a walk around the farm" rifles.

Thanks Sam!

Some of you may remember a sawed-off Ithaca I built a few years ago. I decided to add another SBS and wanted to make one out of my favorite pump shotgun - the Winchester Model 12. I found this original Winchester with a 30" inch, full choke barrel and decided to cut it down. I haven't seen...

I've filled out 2 Form 1s for SBS builds, and this is how I understood it: Full name is required, however it's listed in the other section. I was expressly told no initials. Your location is also required, so: "John Smith, Dallas, TX" is the format on mine.

And since I have a photo handy, here are my bull barrel M10s. The 4 inch is LNIB, but the 3 inch is my all time favorite shooting revolver. I carry it quite a bit, and it packs well.

That's not a field grade, as eastbank points out. It's in excellent condition as well for as much as he hunted with it. Couple of things that I'm aware of, since I have an Ithaca flues field grade gun, is that they are prone to cracking frames using heavier modern loads. Also, a number of...

I carry a 3 inch Model 10 with a round butt pretty regularly. It is far and away the best shooting double action revolver I own and I don't feel under-armed. I've been looking for a Model 13 in the same configuration, but haven't found one I can afford yet.
