A friend brought over a pistol... in pieces... and asked if I might be able to put it back together. Looking at it I believe it is a Spanish "Ruby" .32 ACP. I need complete take-down and reassemble instructions. Pictures would be a great help. I have some "armoring" experience and I'm...

My 7 year old daughter wants an air-rifle for Christmas. :D She has never handled any type of rifle before and I think this is a great place to start. I did some internet searches and found so much information that I'm completely overwhelmed. I want something of decent quality but...

I was asked to take a look at a Revelation R310AB (Western Auto Supply Co.)12 gauge which reportedly is not working properly. The owner handed me a box of parts and simply told me... "It jams." Nice to have detailed information. The owner is my friend and I want to try to help him out. It...

Does anyone know where I can find detailed instructions for completely disassembling/reassembling a DW .44 mag revolver? Thanks

Hello. I'm trying to help a co-worker refurbish an old Sears model 35A .22 which was given to him. He took it apart and then called me with some questions. 1. The extractor looks broken. The actual claw part seems as if it should have two small claws, one on top of the other, and the...

Help please. A buddy asked me to look at an old shotgun he was given by a neighbor a while back. I cannot find any information on it anywhere. It is a Montgomery Ward Western DeLuxe Model 50 16-ga pump. The gun has a single action bar. The barrel is about 28" with a double bead and solid rib...

Is there any reason why a Remington 870 12 gauge 2-3/4" & 3" "Special Purpose" barrel would not work with a regular 870 Magnum (3") receiver? Is there something which makes the "special purpose" barrel mechanically different or is "SP" just a marketting gimmick? I have a police trade-in...

A friend gave me his old 1100 12 gauge and asked me to swap out his old barrel (30" full choke) for a factory replacement (26" Rem-choke). Easy enough, right? When I took off the old barrel and compared it to the new one all seemed the same in the hood/extension area. The barrel ring/tang...

A while back I was looking at a Colt 4x20 carry handle scope for my Colt AR-15. I don't need a battle-ready optic and can't afford one (ACOG, CQT, Elcan) either. I looked at several auctions and the original Colt scopes seemed to always sell for around or over $200. I learned that...

I would like to purchase a gun "security cabinet" for holding just a few long guns and some accessories. I want the type which is recessed between wall studs. This is basically the design I'm looking for. http://www.vlineind.com/html/closet_vault.html ... and something a little fancier...

I was just curious if this is a viable conversion? The new Springfield Scout and SOCOM are interesting rifles but I like the Garand. Tanker conversion kits are available and from what I understand, if done properly, the shorter Garand is a reliable gun. Has anyone done (or tried) a tanker in...

The old style carry-handle mounted 3x and 4x scopes always interested me. I realize that ACOG's and other optics are probably better products, but I'm still curious about the quality and ruggedness of the older Colt scopes. Who made them? What versions and options (if any) were available...

I recently picked up a steel Franchi recoil-operated 12 ga. shogun. The gun looks very similar to a model 48AL, but the receiver is steel, not aluminum. The gun is in excellent condition and has more external scratches/dings than internal wear. The innards were heavily coated in grease when I...

A local shop has a 7.5" U.S.A. Seville 44 magnum for sale for $290. It is blued steel and does not appear to have been fired much. The serail number is 44-015XX. Overall the condition is quite good. It has been collecting dust on the shelf (literally) and I bet that I could probably score it for...

Hello all. I just bought a M-11 and was looking at new furniture for it. It appears that these guns have a bit of a reputation for splitting forends and I just wanted to have a spare furniture set on hand, just in case. Looking at some parts wharehouses, I saw that buttstocks are sold for...

Recently I have gotten a bit of a model 11 bug. These guns haven't been produced in over 50 years, but I see plenty of them floating around at gun shows and online auctions. I'm considering buying one for a shooter, not a collector. What would be a good source of information regarding these...

I am going to mount a light on my "house-pistol" (Kimber Classic Custom I). I've narrowed it down to either the Surefire X200 or the P101/111 series. Does anyone have any experience with either light? The X200 seemed like the way to go but very early on in their production one of my shooting...

The idea of a scout rifle continues to intrigue me and seems to have plenty of support in the rifle community. I am primarily a pistol shooter and with the exception of the AR15 platform, have very little long-gun experience. I'm hoping the forum can help with some ideas and info...

I just received my CDNN FN Hi-Power and after two trips to the range I figured I post a little review. Since this is not a target gun I will not be including accuracy or group sizes, per se. The overall appearance of the gun is outstanding. The matte finish was very evenly applied throughout...
