    Any Remington barrel code experts?

    I picked up this Remington 788 recently. It’s got a bunch of heiroglyphics on the barrel, most of which I can’t decipher. If you’re able to help me, or know of a resource that will unlock the Remington code, I’d appreciate it

    Does a C&R license satisfy the Post Office when shipping a handgun?

    Or are you still required to pay the ridiculous overnight rate with UPS or FedEx? Thanks

    16ga Wingmaster question

    I tried a few searches, but didn't see this question asked before. I've got a old 16ga Wingmaster 870 that has had the barrel crudely cut and rechoked. Could I replace it with a 2 3/4 12ga barrel, or would I have to find another 16ga barrel? Thanks

    Springfield Commander

    I posted about 30 minutes ago, and it disappeared. Let me know if I am doing something verboten. Springfield doesn't have a manual for my '91-vintage Commander. It's the original style they made with the barrel bushing. The recoil spring plug has the tab like a Colt Officers ACP. If...

    500 Raging Bull

    Has anyone heard when Taurus might be shipping these? I talked to them in December and was told they would be shipping by Christmas. While I'm asking, does anyone know if the delay is due to general reasons, or due to problems containing the beast? Thanks

    Cast/mim parts

    I know cast/mim parts are here to stay; but on critical parts like extractors and sears, how much money can manufacturers save using them when you add in return shipping and warranty repair? If I am missing the obviuos answer, please be gentle.

    Replacement Commander hammers

    I would like to swap a Commander-style hammer for my regular hammer to save the web of my hand. Do they 'drop in', or is it something better left to a professional to do? If it is something I could do, any recommendations for a good, reasonably-priced hammer you have used? Thanks

    Rossi gripframes

    How close to the S&W k-frame is the gripframe on a Rossi? Maybe someone could post a comparative picture. Thanks

    8rd mag problems

    I've ended up with a couple 8rd NOVAK'S marked ACT-MAGs. All of my others are 7rd and give no problems. The first round would nose-dive and hang up. A guy on the 1911 forum said he remedied this problem by flipping the mag spring top-to-bottom. I did this and, sure enough, everything feeds...

    Rossi gripframe question

    My Daddy's favorite gun is a little model 677,357 Rossi revolver. He likes the Rubber Hogues I have on some of my Smiths and Rugers, but Hogue doesn't make them for Rossi's. Without too much editorial comment, because he won't change his mind and just buy a Smith, is it possible to modify some...

    Squires Bingham AK22

    Anybody ever heard of these? It was made in the Phillipines. Not surprisingly, it looks like an AK47 but shoots 22lr. It looks like crap, but it shoots all 15 rounds every time. Thanks for any info. I'd be willing to trade it even for a 44spl Colt New Frontier. :D

    pre-90, post-90 differences SA 1911A1

    I just got a 1988-vintage Springfield Armory 1911A1 GI and have seen references to pre-90 and post-90 models. Are there notable differences in these guns or is the distinction for some other reason? Thanks

    How fragile is S&W laser etching

    I'm picking up a 629-3 Classic this week from 1991 that has the barrel marking and S&W logo 'etched' on the metal, not roll-stamped in the metal. How careful should I be when cleaning. I'm assuming steel wool would probably make it disappear completely. How do y'all clean yours with this type...

    Inglis Hi-Power date of manufacture

    I just traded into an Inglis Hi-Power, sn 4T2xxx, and was wondering if there was some on-line resource that would tell me when it was made. Or does someone here know? Thanks
