Hello guys. I got another one for you. A revolver this time. On the butt of the revolver is "US. ARMY MODEL 1917, No. 46XXX" On the top of the barrel is: "COLT'S PT FA MFG CO HARTFORD, CT USA PAT'D AUG 5 1884 JUNE 5 1900 JULY 4 1905" On the bottom of the barrel it says, "UNITED STATES...

I'm having a bit of a dilemma here involving a pistol and I could use some advice. First, the back story. I had a really good friend who died recently. He (the son) was the son of a career military man (the father.) He was an only son. He was in his late 20's just like me. His father spent...

Hello THR, I just inherited a 1911 yesterday. I was hoping I could get some help identifying it. On the right hand side of the slide it says, "Ejercito Argentino" and "Sist. Colt, Cal. 11.25mm. Mod. 1927" The serial number is in the 32xxx range. On the frame the serial number is above...

I know posting news articles is frowned upon, but this one is for good reason. There's a recall on certain lots of Federal .45 ACP ammunition. They apparently put the wrong powder charge in it. [EDIT= This allow pertains to American Eagle ammo.] Here's the link for those who are interested...

Yep, I saw it today. I can't for the life of me remember the manufacturer, but I do remember that it was a 9mm semiautomatic with lettering all up and down the slide, which consisted mainly of Constitutional amendments. I did play with it over the case. It's striker-fired trigger is gritty...

I was adjusting the sights, and I slipped with my brass hammer. The safety still works, but it's ugly. I've been looking for replacements (preferably metal) and I'm not 100% sure which part I should order, or where to get it. Can you guys help me out? :) In return, pictures of my oopsie.

Hey guys, It's come up in popular media lately... and I think it's probably the most "common" situation we may find ourselves in. In a state of civil unrest... Hurricane Katrina is an excellent example... how would you, or have, dealt with it? Supplies, plans, contingencies? Who's going...

Hey guys, I'm not a novice shooter, but I've got a problem lately. When I shoot my Beretta 92... I am always hitting low and to the left. Constantly. It's making me angry, because I can shoot all of my other pistols dead on. EDIT: It's not the sights... others have shot the pistol and can...

I'm just gonna leave this one here. -.- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVoo94liJ5s&feature=grec_index

Hey all. Want to ask some advice. I'm by no means rich, or well off. I'm going to school, scraping to pay the bills and whatnot. Want to put that out first. I have a very, very good friend would go hunting with his Maverick 88 shotgun. Just your plain jane field model. Anyway, this...

Hello all. Thought I would run this by you and get some constructive criticism. I was walking home last night from the local movie rental place at about 10pm. My town isn't very rowdy or anything like that, but I did have kind of a scare. I was walking down the street on the side walk with...

I went to my indoor range tonight and put ~250rds of reloaded .40S&W downrange tonight, and one of the lead rounds fragmented on the backstop and struck me in the right cheek. Broke the skin, started bleeding, and is pretty tender right now. I was able to keep going though... but I made sure to...

So I have a question. I'm not a hunter, but I've been meaning to learn. Mostly deer and elk is what I'm thinking. Would a Mosin Nagant fill this niche to start out? In particular, the M44 carbine?

I attended an IPSC match today, and there were a couple of things I would like to mention... one is about range etiquette, and one is what I think is a glaring safety issue. 1) The range is hot. A shooter is currently shooting, and is being followed by an Range Officer. Other shooters are...

Hello guys, maybe you can help me out. I got ahold of one of the old riot gun Police Department Ithaca M37's in 12ga, 2 3/4in chamber. It's in great shape, but I have a problem. When I fire a shell and go to cycle the action, the action is real tough and more times than not the extractors...

I was working on my magazines for my chest rig for competitions and such and I just thought I'd ask everyone how their rig is set up? I set mine up similar to the way the Army did it when I was in. I use a spare USGI Fighting Load Carrier with all the pouches and such. All the mags are...
